A good thing to know when you’re looking for something other than the terrible Americanized Chinese food that predominates in south Louisiana: Imperial Garden restaurant (3331 Williams Blvd, Kenner, LA), has a “real” Chinese menu. Ask your server for the authentic menu, and it will be provided in a flash, with a smile. A bonus: the house hot tea is loose, brewed in the pot, and loads better than the cheap, bagged, bitter stuff most local Chinese joints pour.
