Others have packed their woks and rolled, but Emperor Garden is still fired up with an expansive and bold menu that’s like the Top Forty of Asian cuisine. We like the Singapore-style Sesame Beef, darkly mysterious with ginger and sealed with a flourish of sesame seed crunch. Tuck into Thai Basil Seafood, stir-fried but succulent and draped with fresh, aromatic basil. Or try the heady Garlic-Frittered Chicken, anathema for after-dinner kisses but worthy of a solo guilty pleasure. Sushi rounds out the menu with some predictable forays into California rolls and tempura-battered morsels like shrimp and eel. Bar.
