Restaurant Impérial

Review Summary

Reviews of Restaurant Impérial show a split between standout dim sum and generous portions versus inconsistent service and high prices. Many praise the dim sum lineup for being fresh, flavorful and suitable for sharing, with favorites like siu mai, shrimp and scallop dumplings, sticky rice with chicken and pork, and a rice pasta roll with fried shrimp cited as particularly memorable, while portions are described as large and frequently served hot. The ordering process via a QR code or app is convenient for some, contributing to speedy service when the venue is not crowded, but busy times can bring long waits, crowded spaces and attentiveness issues from staff. Prices are often flagged as high for the perceived quality or consistency, though some guests feel the large portions and variety justify the cost. Ambience is generally clean and spacious with ample parking, though there are notes about noise and occasional maintenance concerns. Taken together, Restaurant Impérial is a go to for dim sum and family meals, offering strong flavors and value when operations run smoothly, with room for improvement in service consistency and price perception on busier days.View restaurant profile
