Imperial Restaurant is known for its incredible dim sum, with shrimp dumplings, Siu Mai, and shrimp with lobster sauce being standout dishes. While the service may be a bit slow, the delicious food more than compensates for it. Expect a wait of around 20 minutes, but once you order, the food arrives fairly quickly. During busy times like Chinese New Year, the wait may be longer, but the overall dim sum experience is well worth it. Vegetarian options are limited, but efforts are made to accommodate. The sesame covered balls are highly recommended, while dishes like fried turnip cakes and mapo tofu without pork may not meet expectations. Despite some shortcomings, visiting Imperial Restaurant is a good experience overall.
