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.
You lose the dim sum experience with the QR menu & no carts. You miss the entitlement of the food that is carted around & you long for the next one. The menu is limited, while hot, not the greatest tasting. Bland for the most part. The service however is good.
Restaurant délicieux. Nous y avons mangé un mardi midi en semaine & c'était plein!! Le service était rapide & la nourriture délicieuse. Nous y retourneront :)
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.
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.

Absolutely amazing! This was our first visit, & it exceeded all expectations. Every dish we ordered was really good. We may have overestimated our appetites, but we couldn't be happier because now we have plenty of leftovers for tomorrow. The BBQ platter was a true delight! 😋 🤤 Many thanks !
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.
Pas d'accueil ou ni de service courtoie, aucune explication sur la façon de procéder pour la commande & ils sont pressés. Les dumping la texture & le goût de la viande laisse à désirer, certaines choses étaient bons sans plus. Cette fois-ci ce n'est pas mon coup de coeur !

It's really good & fresh. Instead of a kart going around & you pick what you want from it they actually only cook what you've order, which is why everything was fresh & tasty & the fried stuff we ordered was very crispy. It's crazy popular though so go very early.
Great no frills dim sum place. My family goes to dim sum literally every week. I've eaten in most of the highest rated dim sum places in Vancouver & Toronto. This is not your fancy dim sum plaxe. This is your excellent value with true Cantonese style dim sum fare. Don't expect 5 star customer service as they don't charge like one. Food is ordered by QR code which is original for dim sum. I really like this system as all items come in promptly with no ordering mistakes. They have all the condiments available for a HK style restaurant. Owners have been in the dim sum business for over 2 decades. Imho, must try for people visiting Montreal.
The restaurant serves family-friendly meal portions. Food service was relatively quick, the taste is delicious for Chinese food & the staff was present when needed. You need to ask the waiter for sauces on the side & for water; they serve tea as you settle at your table. The siumai, salt & pepper pork & the crispy noodle cantonese style are my favourite. Also love the noodle rice rolls, & the fried shrimp dumpling ☺️
