Szechuan Chicken from Imperial Dynasty

I returned to Imperial Dynasty in Longwood, FL and ordered the Szechuan Chicken early bird dinner.

Wonton soup and an egg roll were the included appetizers. Similar to my experience on my last visit, I found the soup to be a bit too salty. Everything else about the soup is good except for the saltiness. I had no complaints about the pork egg roll.

Szechuan Chicken was a good choice. I wanted something spicy, and this dish definitely provided that. The chicken was cooked with carrots, cabbage, scallions, and onions, and was served with brown rice. I'm sometimes disappointed with chicken dishes in Chinese Restaurants, but I had no complaints about this Szechuan Chicken!

California Earthquake from Imperial Dynasty

I ate at Imperial Dynasty in Longwood, FL. I noticed one of their sushi specials on the way in was something called a California Earthquake. It was described as a California Roll topped with baked fish. It sounded interesting, so I ordered the roll and a wonton soup.

Imperial Dynasty has good wonton soup. Unlike most other Chinese restaurants, they put lots of good vegetables in their soup. Besides from the standard wontons, pork, and scallions, Imperial Dynasty also put cabbage and carrots in the soup. Adding more vegetables to a soup is never a bad thing in my opinion.

As for the California Earthquake, it wasn't exactly what I was expecting, but it was still really tasty. The sign with the specials said the California roll was topped with baked fish, so I was expecting actual big pieces of fish. Instead, it was more like a fish salad. The fish was broken up into small pieces and mixed with other ingredients (it said something about eel sauce) to make the topping for the roll. All of this was topped with crumbled tempura batter and decorated with some radishes carved into flowers. I would definitely get the California Earthquake again.

Imperial Dynasty Spider Roll

I ate a Spider Roll from Imperial Dynasty in Longwood, FL. It was good, although I felt the cream cheese didn't really go with the other contents of the roll...
