Imperial China - (Near , london)

5 /5 Justin Rogers-Cooper: Delicious, authentic plates, small and large, of decadent dazzling dishes. Splendid crispy shredded beef and smoked shredded chicken, delicate soft dumplings, risibly scrumptious spring rolls. Filling vegetarian Singapore noodles and egg-fried rice. Fried vegetables prepared with different flavors, and unexpectedly enticing fried turnip paste. Do also try the deep fried bean curd with garlic spicy salt. Efficient service, with food coming out piping hot. Pleasing Jasmine tea and glutenous rice balls with sweet black sesame paste filling inside, with a nice nutty twang. Popular and bustling. Reservations recommended.

2 /5 Debbie W: We went for dim sum with our family on the first day of Lunar New Year and were really looking forward to it. It was understandably very busy, and the staff were polite. However, the food quality seemed to have declined compared to previous visits. The appearance of the steamers, which looked quite dark, also affected the overall impression. The turnip cake was super soft, and the siu mai looked different in color from what we were used to. We hope the restaurant will take note and make improvements.

5 /5 Jason Low: As a family of Dim Sum lovers, our usual spot in Purley, while popular, had started to suffer from long queues and a slight dip in quality. This prompted a search for a new favourite beyond central London, and we were thrilled with our discovery. Every dish we tried was absolutely delicious, but the Wu Gok (Yam Croquettes), Beef Ho Fun, Fukien Fried Rice, and Crispy Shredded Beef were particularly memorable. What impressed us most was the freshness and perfect seasoning of everything. The excellent service was another major plus. We appreciated condiments like chilli oil and dipping chilli sauce right at the table without asking, and the attentive staff consistently topped up our teapot without us needing to ask. Unlike some Dim Sum restaurants where you can feel rushed, we were able to relax and savour our meal. The staff were incredibly attentive, even proactively offering to downsize plates to make room for more dishes. Without a doubt, we all agreed that this is now our go-to Dim Sum destination.

5 /5 Winnie A: Efficient, attentive staff and quick service. We didn’t have a reservation, so we called about 15 minutes before arriving to see if they could take us. They said yes, and when we arrived we only waited about 3 minutes for our table. My favorite dish was the crispy noodle with beef and bean curd, and all of the dim sum was solid. I’d definitely come back if I’m in the area.

5 /5 Janella: Very beautiful restaurant with good attentive service. Nice food and atmosphere. Good for families especially.
