Restaurant Impérial is widely regarded as a top destination for authentic Dim Sum on the South Shore, frequently praised for its generous portions, fresh ingredients, and reasonable pricing. Guests appreciate the efficient ordering system via QR code, which allows for quick and hot delivery of classic dishes like BBQ pork buns, shrimp dumplings, and har gao. While many diners enjoy the spacious atmosphere and attentive service, experiences with evening dinner service and overall consistency can vary, with some patrons noting occasional delays or lack of flavor in specific entrees. Despite the restaurant being quite busy on weekends, it remains a favorite family gathering spot for those seeking a reliable and high-quality Chinese dining experience in the region.
Went for dim sum on a Sunday morning, got there just before the rush. We ordered via their QR code & the food started arriving within 5 minutes! Everything was super fresh & crispy. I've gone for dim sum countless times in Montreal & this was by far the best tasting version I've had. None of the fried dishes were greasy: the squid tentacles, fried turnip cake, seaweed rolls, & even the crispy shrimp inside the rice rolls were super crispy & light. The har gao shrimp dumplings were plump, perfectly cooked & not waterlogged, & the BBQ pork Bao was a revelation - perfectly steamed bread stuffed with chunks of high quality BBQ pork & delicious sauce, not the usual slimy overly sweet stuff you get at the bun shops. Highly recommend this place, we'll be going back soon!
Had a great experience with my family of 5 at this dim sum restaurant in Brossard! First, I appreciate that there's accessible parking, then there are tons of dim sum dishes to choose from, they even put a Chef's Choice recommendations to guide us choose what's most popular. I found the waiters to be very attentive, as soon as they saw an empty plate, they would help clear it away so that we have more space. The room is big & spacious, great ambiance! Highly recommend!
Food was good but the service was horrendous. We waited about 40 minutes for our'appetizer' to arrive & then another 15 minutes for our first main dish to arrive. The rest of the dishes came another 15 minutes after. Quite the long wait for everything to come out.
They also seemed severely understaffed & sometimes forgot requests we gave (like asking for napkins which they did not provide at the beginning, or for some hot sauce).
Overall, would I come back here? Even though the food was good, no, I wouldn't.
Something new! Had my cousins 100th day party here. The service was fast for our party of 50. I got to try new things. The menu was a bit different due to the size of our party so I wasn't expecting some of the dishes that we received. Nevertheless it was pretty good! I loved the lobster & a little less the chicken ahaha.
I can't comment about the service or atmosphere since we've never eaten there. We just order from there. A lot. & we've been doing so for years now, & will continue to! What can I say, it's not NYC level Chinese take-out/order (where I lived for many years) but it's by far the best we've tried in the Candiac/Brossard/Laprairie/Longueuil area & we've tried many. Some dishes are just average but nothing is bad & the stand outs definitely stand out. The price is right & so is the consistency. I get literal cravings for the braised pork & beef dishes but I've tried everything there is to try & many other dishes have been amazing. Again, nothing bad, just varying levels of good to great in our humble opinion as self-proclaimed'foodies' even if I hate that term. Still can't find NYC level beef & broccoli though, not even here. Anyone have a source in the area? =) In any event, this place trumps (sorry, it was a word before a president) the best of Asian in most South Shore areas. Happy we live close.
