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!
Restaurant Impérial is widely praised for fresh dim sum and Cantonese dishes, with reviewers highlighting crowd-pleasers like har gao, shrimp dumplings and BBQ pork buns, and noting the lobster and eggplant dishes as standout options. The QR code ordering system and quick kitchen turnaround are frequently mentioned, along with reasonable prices and a wide variety that suits families and groups. The dining room is described as large and lively, making it a dependable spot for dim sum, but crowds on weekends can make it noisy and service uneven at times. Some critiques point to occasional bland or overly salty dishes, gaps in cleanliness, and moments of slow or less courteous service, though several diners report fast attention and attentive staff. Overall, it is considered a top choice for Cantonese dim sum on the south shore with good value and consistent availability of many dishes, though experiences can vary by visit.
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.

my picks for takeout & delivery: chicken egg rolls & sauteed rice noodles with beef
huge portions & well-priced, i would say these are the best egg rolls ive had so far (this & kam fung's)! none of that frozen eggrolls where they all taste the same
my only negative thing would be that their dishes are pretty oily but really yummy for a hangover cure
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.
We just celebrated our baby's 100th day at this restaurant & I need to say this was the best decision we've made. The room was set up for us exactly the way we wanted & it was ready for us way before our arrival. The food was delicious & the portion was super generous. The service was truly impeccable, the staff were polite & very attentive to all of our needs. I've never seen such an efficient service & team. All out of our 10 dishes menu came out quickly, & all of our guests really enjoyed their meal. They even got to take out the remaining of the food since the portions were so generous. Thank you Imperial Team for the amazing food & service, you made our celebration even more pleasurable & memorable.
This is a great dimsum place, one of the best in Montreal. You order off a menu, not pushcarts, but the dishes are fresher, larger, & tastier than most competitors.
Amazing spot for Dim Sum. Best with a big group of friends to be able to try numerous dishes. The online ordering system keeps the process easy & the food pops out of the kitchen shortly after. Arrive early on the weekend as it gets REALLY busy really fast!
Likely the best dim sum in Montreal area. As good as Markham. We were a party of 5 people & ordered a variety of dim sum, 14 dishes in total. Food was delicious & all for $125...before tips. Excellent value. The only complaint is no reservations. Everyone has to wait in line.
I booked for dinner with my family, & by calling a few hours before, for some clarification I spoke in French but the lady I got on the phone answered me in English, she did not look to answer me in French yet she didn't understand me she answered me information unrelated to my question. The table service was quite slow, because all the staff was far too busy. Some waiters at times ignored us when we asked for water, we had to get up to go to the reception to be served. That being said, the dishes served were delicious anyway after the wait.
Note: This is the perspective from a northerner, friend who was a southerner said it was a great experience & loved the food. The food was okay, but there are definitely dishes that should not have been called what they are. Especially the mapo tofu, a mockery of the dish (but I guess that's understandable since this is more of a dim sum resturant rather than a sichuan resturant). Everything else was okay, the bbq platter was decent, but cold from the start. They don't skimp on portions though. Just not to my taste, I wouldn't pay this much again for this little flavour.
Maybe its not for me but i'd rather go to kam fung down the street. Menu choices are very little for dim sum & requires a qr code to order. Haven't tried their a la carte menu but let's be real, it's a dum sum place & should not be ordering a la carte canto/szechuan dishes. Not worth the gas unless you live in the shore. Better choices in the city for the same price point for dim sum.
