Imperial Restaurant

I love the crispy shrimp rolls. The service feels rushed, considering the atmosphere. This is my personal experience comparing it to the 1st time I went there many years ago. I ordered and was charged for 2 orders of an apperizer and I only received 1. We were never offered water, I had to order it while ibsaw others get water right away and the only drink options was their tea, coke and sprite cans, no lemonade or anything toddler friendly to drink. I had to change my babys diaper on top of 2 storage bins that they have in the womens bathroom. The handicap bathroom was storage. And they asked if we were leaving the tip on the card or cash. In general for us this time, the food had a weird aftertaste and personally did not enjoy it. The only positive side is that if your lucky to get a window table, its a pretty nice view. There was a table avaliable by the window but we were not seated there.

Terrible experience. Service was very slow — we waited a long time just to get basic attention from staff. The food itself was underwhelming, nothing stood out. The restaurant smelled musky. To make things worse, we were charged for items we never ordered. Would not recommend.

Food was very good. I have known the owner/manager - Elaine for many years. She is very attentive and polite. While the lunch pricing is on the higher side - at $15 per dosh the quality of the food was outstanding. I am deducting one star because it took almost 30 minutes for the cooks to make a fried rice, and another 30 minutes for chow fun noodle. Those dishes should have come woth the rest of my dim sum and foods. Not after i finished my entire meal.

Authentic authentic authentic!!! I never see more than one table of tourists or caucasian persons in this space which is a GREAT sign! When the folks that the food originates from are eating there, you know it's going to be spot on. We were NOT disappointed. We were on a dim sum/ dumpling tour so we tried all of the dimsum they had for their lunch options along with fried rice and beef crepe and taro chicken ball. Everything was fantastic and affordable!! Cant wait to go back and try more.

I come here every time I visit Chinatown. The dim sum and Cantonese dishes are very authentic, with reasonable prices and classic Hong Kong–style service—which means not the friendliest, but it honestly reminds me of home 😄. The dim sum is freshly steamed, and the tea is spot-on. You can come here for a proper sit-down meal or just stop by for a casual snack. Prices are fair, though during rush hour you might be seated at a smaller table (I’ve never had to wait in line, though). You know it’s truly authentic when uncles and aunties are sitting around chatting and drinking tea, while servers push carts through the room with freshly made dishes.
