Our famous Dim Sum is now back to Montreal! Enjoy hot and fresh Dim Sum along with authentic Chinese cuisine in the heart of Downtown in our new location!
Reviews at Restaurant Impérial highlight top notch handmade dim sum that is fresh and flavorful, with dishes like har gao, shrimp dumplings and BBQ pork bao praised for being plump, light and well steamed; ordering through a QR code is common and keeps dishes coming quickly, making the experience feel convenient even when busy; the place is regarded as a solid option for authentic Chinese dim sum at reasonable prices with generous portions, popular with families and groups, though some visits note crowded weekends, occasional slow or uneven service, and certain items that can be oily or less flavorful; in sum, it is seen as a strong dim sum destination on the south shore with a focus on variety and speed rather than a traditional cart style.
I haven't eaten dimsum here yet (heard good things), but foods from their dinner set menu were very fresh & delicious. Compared to other Chinese restaurants, this place is very clean & well-maintained.
Good dimsum for montreal. The fried dishes were very fresh & tasty. The fried calamari was super tender & the XO sauce fried turnip cake was very good. The rest of the food was also pretty decent. The service is very fast & we didn't wait for more than 5 minutes for a table of 2 on a saturday around 1pm.
After 2 years, I am glad to see that the quality is still pretty good. The food has great flavours & there are still a lot of items to pick from. I was surprised to see the price go up however, the average for a plate is now around 6$ & that just seems a bit expensive to me. The service was still good & that was nice.
(2 years ago) We went in for Dim sums & the quality of the food was decent. Nothing amazing but still, it wasn't bad either. The prices are about 5$ for a plate, so it's also reasonable but not that competitive. The service was quite friendly, they took the time to refill our tea in our cups without having us to ask. Furthermore, they were all talking & serving us in a more or so positive mood. The food was served quite quickly which was also nice. The part that bothered me the most was probably the cleanliness. The outside window is filled with dust & stains & the interior carpet was also a bit unclean. Nonetheless, the food was decent & enjoyable. We got to see a robot going around bringing food to tables which was also entertaining.
Changed my review as I have been there a few times now instead of having delivery. The dim sum is excellent but you have to go early as they don't do reservations, or else you might have to wait almost 1 hr to be seated. Parking spaces are limited also. Service is ok but not personalized; you order on the app & they just bring it to your table.
Have came here many times for brunch (dimsum) or a la carte in the evening. Much better food & price compared to dimsums & Chinese restaurants in downtown Montreal.

I visited imperial a few years ago at the other location before Covid. It was really good so I googled whether this dim sum place is still in Chinatown. It's moved to other area but it's still very delicious & crowded.
We love the dimsum here. We come regularly whenever we are in the area. This time we tried some stir fries other than just dim sum. Not the greatest to be honest. We would stick the dim sum items next time.
Dim Sum & evening dining plates are succulents , plenty of free parking places.Since discovered by friend's suggestion, I prefer driving from Montreal to Brossard , avoiding the China Town chinese restaurants.Owner is Montrealer Chinese, very well organized & polite.

Très bons dim sum soupes ordinaires (wonton & aigre piquante), boulettes onctueuses au porc & tarot sublime, seiches sel & poivre un peu caoutchouteux, intéressant dans l'ensemble (bon signe : beaucoup de familles asiatiques). Service poli & souriant.
I've been here on a weekday for lunch. The food was amazing. Our dim sums came up steaming hot. That's what we liked the most. So many places in montreal, dim sum are warm/ cold, but this place served us hot ones. I find it interesting that we have to place an order through our phone. It's nice this way. You don't need to wait for the cart to come to you like other places because sometimes it can take forever. The service is OK. There is nothing to complain about but also nothing really to talk about. I like how spacious the place is & how tables are not too close to each other. The prices are a bit expensive compared to the others but I don't mind paying for the comfort of eating & the hot dumplings.
Si vous aimez les Dim Sum, vous ne serez pas déçu. Leur nourriture est délicieuse, ni trop grasse ni salée. Il y a aussi des plats végétariens. Les rouleaux d'algues, les raviolis aux crevettes, le chaomian, le congee, les petits pains à la vapeur sont tous délicieux 😋😋😋 C'est un bon restaurant pour les amis ou les réunions de famille car ils proposent également de grandes tables 😊😊😊 Il y a un parking juste devant le restaurant.
