Imperial Restaurant is known for its incredible dim sum, with shrimp dumplings, Siu Mai, and shrimp with lobster sauce being standout dishes. The restaurant offers a traditional banquet hall-style setting with efficient service and comforting dim sum options. Customers have praised the very good har gow and kway teow, and some have even found water spinach (kangkong) not on the menu. The turnip cake has a great texture, although it can be a bit bland, and the rice rolls, dumplings, and rice noodles are also enjoyed. During busy times like Chinese New Year, the wait to be seated can be long, especially during holidays and weekends, but the overall experience remains worthwhile. While service may sometimes be slow, the delicious food more than makes up for it. Vegetarian options are limited, but efforts are made to accommodate dietary needs. The sesame covered balls are highly recommended, though dishes like fried turnip cakes and mapo tofu without pork may not meet everyone's expectations. Despite some minor shortcomings, visiting Imperial Restaurant offers a satisfying dim sum experience overall.
