" Honestly, I had mixed feelings about my recent visit. The food was very tasty, but I felt the service could use some improvement. It seemed like they were really busy, and we waited a long time for our orders to be taken. However, when the food finally arrived, I couldn't complain—the shrimp dumplings and turnip cake were incredible! If you're looking for authentic dim sum, give it a try, but just be prepared for a longer wait on busy days. " (*Curated Review*)

" As someone who’s a fan of dim sum, Imperial Restaurant has become my favorite spot! The variety of dim sum they offer is excellent. I particularly love their beef tripe and rice noodles. Each dish is flavorful and generous in portion sizes. The ambiance is just what you'd expect from a traditional dim sum restaurant, welcoming and vibrant. On my last visit, the service was spot on, which just added to the experience. Can't recommend this restaurant enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" The dim sum at Imperial Restaurant is fantastic! We ordered a variety to share, and every dish was delicious. The authenticity in the flavors was a real standout, reminding me of my trips to Hong Kong. The service was decent, but not exceptional. The atmosphere is the standard busy dim sum spot, and I appreciate that they served the dishes hot and fresh. Highly recommend for great traditional dim sum! " (*Curated Review*)

" Well, I’ve been coming to Imperial Restaurant for years! Our family absolutely loves their dim sum, particularly the har gow and the crispy pork. Each visit, we notice they maintain high standards of cleanliness and food safety. The only downside is that it can be very busy and you'll need to be patient with service, but it's worth the wait. I highly recommend it to anyone searching for authentic cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" First time I tried Imperial Restaurant after checking out reviews, and I'm glad I did! The dumplings were a highlight, but the service took longer than I would have liked. The setting is cozy, and I loved the decor. The employees were polite, but it felt like they were short-staffed. I still left happy because the food quality matched the authentic vibe of the place! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visiting Imperial Restaurant for the first time was enlightening—the dim sum was as authentic as it gets in the Midwest! The steamed buns and dumplings had perfect skins and juicy fillings. I was impressed with the quick service despite the crowd. The only downside was the noise level—very busy atmosphere! But truly a great experience overall. " (*Curated Review*)

" My partner and I decided to try Imperial Restaurant after hearing good things, and we were not disappointed! The service was prompt, and we were seated quickly. The dim sum has a wide range of flavors—my favorite was the har gow, which was perfectly cooked! The atmosphere was cozy, and we enjoyed the whole experience. Will definitely return.
