Despite it being a pretty hectic lunchtime service, I was fairly impressed by Imperial China. The dim sum was delicious, especially the lotus leaf steamed rice. I would have liked the standard condiment of sesame sauce with the plain cheung fun but this is a minor point - it's definitely worth a visit and good value at around £12 per head
We arrived on a Saturday night to what was already a brimming restaurant. With plenty of customers the place was buzzing and the staff were courteous. Seated at our table we were offered the set and a-la-carte- menus. Green tea seemed to be the go for apperitif, which, although I enjoy a glass of wine with my meal, proved to be refreshing and cleansing, to say nothing of my clear head the morning after (a new experience). We selected the set menu and waited for the food with baited breath.
I came here on a Saturday night with some friends from China. The place was buzzing and no surprise, this restaurant is well known in the borough for great, authentic Chinese food.
We had the set menu although an a-la-carte is available. We enjoyed a veritable feast, the dishes are a generous size and there was plenty to choose from in fact we ran out of room on the table.
If you're looking to come here I would definitely book as there is usually a line out of the door of those who haven't had the forethought to make a reservation.
A special mention should be made of the lunch menu too. I have been here for the dumplings on the weekends and there are many of these tasty morsels to choose from. And, just in case it's your thing, there is a karaoke room out the back which you can book for a party of up to 30.
