" Between the mouth-watering dishes and wonderful service, Imperial Mandarin has become my go-to for Chinese food! The Peking duck is always perfect, and their salt and pepper shrimp is a must. The pricing is reasonable, and I appreciate the quick service despite the restaurant being busy. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for authentic Chinese dining in a relaxed atmosphere. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have been going to Imperial Mandarin for years and have always had a great dining experience. The wide variety of dim sum options is impressive and each dish is bursting with authentic flavors. The prices are great for the size of portions, and the service is always friendly! Love bringing my family here. " (*Curated Review*)

" I love how Imperial Mandarin serves true Cantonese food! The flavors were delectable, and everything we tried was fresh. The atmosphere is perfect for celebrations and casual dinners alike. The staff was attentive, and they genuinely care about customer satisfaction. This place is a gem in our community! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you’re looking for authentic dim sum in San Diego, then look no further than Imperial Mandarin! Their pork buns and dumplings are fresh and flavorsome. We were served quickly, and the servers were friendly, adding to the positive experience. The prices are on par with similar restaurants, and the portions are generous, making it great for sharing with a group. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently returned to Imperial Mandarin after a few years, expecting it to be fabulous as it was in the past. However, my experience was underwhelming. The dim sum selection seemed limited and the quality of the food was lackluster compared to what I remembered. The service was fine, but it didn't make up for the food quality. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a chance to try Imperial Mandarin for lunch recently. The sweet and sour chicken was decent, but I’ve had better elsewhere. They do have a nice selection of dim sum, although the quality varies. Service was attentive, and while it’s a comfortable setting, I think it might not be my first pick after all. " (*Curated Review*)

" I must say, I did not enjoy my meal at Imperial Mandarin. It was the first time I tried dim sum here, and unfortunately, I found everything to be quite bland. The service seemed disinterested, and even the tea arrived lukewarm. The decor is simple, but I didn’t mind that; I was more focused on having a great meal. Sadly, I don’t think I’ll be returning to give it another shot. " (*Curated Review*)
