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.
This restaurant has the most rude staff I have seen. They do not respect customers & their behavior is not professional. If you respect yourself & your dignity, I do not recommend going to this place.

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!
C'est ma première expérience à cet endroit, j'avais envie de dumpling & j'ai été relativement satisfaite.
J'ai pris 5 articles :
Le 102- siumai crevette, ils étaient tendres, juteux & savoureux, c'est mon coup de coeur. Je le recommande fortement!
Les 2 autres dumplings que j'ai pris sont,
120- ravioli crevette
101- hargao ravioli crevette pétoncle
Les deux contiennent de gros morceaux de fruits de mer, ce qui a été une très belle surprise lors de mes premières bouchées. Par contre, je trouve qu'ils manquent de saveur. Peut-être que c'est mieux avec une sauce. Je suis déçu de ne pas en avoir eu avec mes dumplings.
Mon quatrième article était :
105- Côtellette de boeuf à 14$. J'ai été désappointé face à la quantité versus le prix. Le pot était à moitié vide.
Mon dernier article était :
103- Le riz collant, c'était très décevant, pas du tout à quoi je m'attendais. On aurait dit du riz trop cuit qui forme une pâte collante. J'ai juste pris 2 bouchées & il a fini à la poubelle. Mais c'est peut-être juste mes goûts personnels.
Au final, je trouve que c'est plus un endroit pour déguster de bons dumplings que autre chose.
Authentic Chinese food. Try the lobster with green onion, Cantonese fried egg noodles & eggplant in hot pot. Friendly service & reservation recommended.
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!
Excellent restaurant chinois. Des plats de bonnes qualités. Nous étions 10 le serveur ètait très aimable. Nous avons commandé une formule de menu pour 10 personnes . Excellent choix & plats variés.
Le cadre est propre.
Je recommande ce restaurant
Cet été on a essayé le dim sum. Très bon également. Très bon rapport qualité prix.
Par contre assez bruyant comme dans la majorité des restaurants chinois lorsque c'est achalandé.

DimSum is ok, 4 stars
Dinner (1 star) is pretty bad. Poor food quality. Too salty & oily. Quantity is bad too. Waited 45min for the first dish to come. Highly NOT recommend for dinner. Service is bad, cold water barely got filled up.
J'adore & je reviens souvent. Plusieurs clients asiatiques, alors le meilleur signe que le restaurant est vraiment bon & original! Mes enfants aussi adorent les plats. Très recommandé.
The Imperial is an outstanding restaurant that truly delivers on all fronts. The atmosphere is warm & inviting, & the staff go above & beyond to make your dining experience special. The servers are incredibly attentive, ensuring every detail is perfect without being intrusive. As for the meals, they are nothing short of fantastic-each dish is flavorful, well-prepared, & beautifully presented. To top it off, the prices are surprisingly affordable, offering exceptional value for the quality. Highly recommended!

Ming & his team are the best! Very accommodative for our team ceremony lunch & everyone raved about the food (American & Vietnamese). Cared about our vegetarian person. Beautiful setting in the reserved room & service was great & reasonable prices, very conscious of our budget. Very honest. Would recommend 100%.
Came there on a Saturday around 11:30AM. I would recommend people coming around this time cuz after noon, there'll be a huge crowd waiting in line to get a seat. Orders were requested on the phone & food came pretty quickly. This is a very standard dim sum place with a reasonable price. I would recommend to those who have never tried dim sum to come visit.
Nourriture fade, sans goût.: j'ai essayé le boeuf à l'orange: aucun morceau d'orange dans la sauce & morceaux de boeuf qui ne se mâchent pas, il y a plus de nerfs que de viande. Je ne recommande pas ce restaurant.

The food quality is standard. The server we got is what I had the biggest issue with. My spouse & I have two young toddlers & from the time we sat down, the waiter seems to be very impatient. We don't get much free time eating out as a family because of two youngsters but we managed to find time on Saturday evening. The waiter gave us an attitude every time we asked for: forks, water, plain white rice. Plus the kitchen messed up our orders (forgot to deliver one dish & the other one completely wrong dish) & we didn't complain. When I paid at the cashier, the waiter had the audacity to be behind me to check the amount of tip. I gave a nice 18% just to finish the evening & to go home & never recommend or go back to Imperial. Don't even ask me how much the service really deserves; it's just not worth the hassle.
this place is absolutely amazing & i loved loved loved their lava custard buns & schezwan green beans - those were definitely the star of the show. wouldn’t recommend their xiao long baos but their chicken feet & tofu was also very good. quick service, reasonable prices, & overall a great experience.
