Imperial Treasure Fine Chinese Cuisine
I recently went with a friend to lunch at Imperial Treasure, and it truly exceeded expectations. The dim sum was impeccable—fine, perfectly balanced, and served at an ideal temperature.While the glazed duck was expertly cut in front of us, the noticeable fat layer, though a matter of preference, proved a bit cumbersome to consistently remove. The lack of choice when ordering a whole duck for a party of two felt slightly wasteful .The cocktails, albeit delicious, came with a Mayfair-worthy price tag of £20+.The meal concluded on a delightful note with custard egg buns. I'd certainly return, perhaps with a larger group to minimise leftovers and a heartier appetite to accommodate the large portions.

The atmosphere of the place is pleasant and perfect for business lunches or dinners. Nice and quite and the layout is great.The food was not as amazing as expected. Tastes good but nothing over the top. We got the steamed dumplings. My favourite out of them is the mushroom one. We got some beef noodles which in my view was the best dish. Some shrimps with cashew and chilli with some fried rice. Dessert was actually disappointing; I can taste the sugar in the filling. I've had many sesame balls from different restaurants and they are far better than this one.

We loved it here - staff were friendly. Service was prompt, careful and understated. But the dim sum was the star. Beautifully made, exquisite flavours and in my mind worth every penny - and there are a few needed!

Imperial Treasure Fine Chinese Cuisine in London offers an exceptional culinary journey that transcends borders, delivering an authentic Cantonese dining experience that rivals its counterparts in Hong Kong and Singapore.We embarked on a gastronomic adventure, savoring an array of delectable dishes. The Peking Duck, a star attraction, was nothing short of spectacular – each bite revealing succulent, savory tenderness. The culinary prowess didn't stop there; we explored a tantalizing starter and indulged in a scallop dish that, when combined with the duck and some refreshing drinks, could easily satisfy the appetites of two.The restaurant's rooftop setting added an extra layer of allure to the dining experience, making it one of London's premier Cantonese destinations.One standout dish was the Crispy Rice with Seafood in Shrimp Broth, a symphony of flavors that showcased the richness of seafood in a bowl. The dim sum offerings impressed with their authenticity and perfect serving temperatures, rivaling even the best in Hong Kong.While the experience may lean towards the upscale side, the quality and attention to detail justify the investment. Notably, the Crispy golden net prawn cheung fun, Seafood dumpling consommé, and Wagyu beef cheung fun left an indelible mark on our palates.A noteworthy aspect of our visit was the exceptional service. The staff's attentiveness and friendliness ensured that our dining experience was memorable and enjoyable. They even accommodated our little one, providing a high chair and baby cutlery, allowing us to relish our meal in comfort.Our choice to opt for the Cantonese duck, rather than the traditional Peking duck, proved to be an interesting twist. While it leaned towards the chewier side, the overall experience was delightful, with the highlight being the charcoal buns for dessert, a sweet and satisfying conclusion to a remarkable evening.In summary, Imperial Treasure Fine Chinese Cuisine in London is an exquisite culinary destination that promises an authentic Cantonese journey. It's a place where outstanding flavors, warm hospitality, and an inviting atmosphere come together to create a memorable dining experience. While it may be on the higher end in terms of price, it's well worth it for those seeking an exceptional culinary adventure.

If a set menu is designed to showcase all a restaurant has to offer and tell its story, then the Imperial Set Menu seems to only offer a cautionary tale of extortion.Note: If you plan to eat here, avoid at all costs the set menu and order individual dishes. The set menu features smaller than regular portions shared between 2, but charged excessively.The purpose of a restaurants set menu is usually to provide a memorable dining experience, showcase a restaurant's unique style and culinary offerings. Delivering customers a carefully curated selection of dishes.The Imperial London failed on all fronts.Priced at £128 each with a minimum of 2 people (£256 for 2 people) the 8 coursesSet Imperial Menu was disappointingly bland, lacking any form of memorability or originality and extortionately prices for the offering.The set menu features the house special dim sum, and 1/4 of the peking duck. While the 3 dim sum each were good, they were obscenely overpriced. The Peking duck too was good, and the skin was like paper, however it was served cold and the portion was tiny considering it was for 2 and there was zero showmanship of the duck being presented and carved at the table that you would get with the usual menu.The Sautéed beef tenderloin with crispy garlic was offensively small. We had 8 small cubes between 2 people, this was a main course. Additionally the Sautéed lobster with black truffle consisted of what mostly looked like Shimeji mushrooms with a dusting of truffle and shards of lobster. The only actual dish suitably designed to serving for 2 diners on the set menu was the egg fried rice.The service was also abysmal. We struggled consistently to get attention and we’re actively ignored multiple times when trying to request drinks and service multiple times. During the mains the waiter literally dumped the food on the table without an explain what had been served only to quickly walked off to sycophantically top up the wine on another table in front of us.The ‘selection’ of deserts was also a tragic. A small portion of jelly and a sesame ball, abandoned on our table without description or explanation.This was most disappointing as we were celebrating a birthday and while a token gesture was offered at the end, the overall experience was very disappointing.Overall, if you must eat here. Avoid like the plague the set menu and order individual items. We saw each table receive better service and potion sizes this way. If you are not interested in the Peeking duck, head to one of the many other Chinese restaurants in the area for more reasonable prices and better quality. For the price point the food is disappointing.

I was extremely excited to visit this venue and I had very high expectations, I had the lobster starter and the salt + pepper squid these were extremely disappointing extremely oily and not tasty at all. The mains we had the Chilean sea bass which was good but at a price of £58 per filler I had much higher expectations but it was just oily and sweet. The beef noodles were good but again extremely oily. I had to order some plain boiled rice to get rid of the oily taste in my mouth. I would rush to visit this place anytime soon

If you want to eat the duck this is the place you need to try at least once during your trip in London. It is very expensive and for that price you could eat the whole week in any other dim sum but the taste is quiet different and you’ll see the difference if you’ve tasted most dim sum places in central London.Staff speaks English, Mandarin and Cantonese. Very kind and helpful. Excellent service, attention to details. Very clean.If it happens that they have mooncakes, they baked them fleshly everyday.The custard buns were freshly cooked. I recommend it.

Very good Peking Duck, juicy, savoury, tender.The bones and duck ribs can be cooked in soup or stir fried salt and pepper. We also had a starter and a scallop dish and it was too much food for 2 people so I honestly think the peking duck with some drinks would be enough for 2 people.Remember to call to order your duck 24 hrs in advance.

Absolutely the rooftop of London’s Cantonese restaurant. They have restaurants in Hong Kong and Singapore, but the quality is almost the same high here in London.Crispy Rice with Seafood in Shrimp Broth is the must order item, with really rich taste of seafood. Most of the dim sum is very authentic and serving with hot temperatures, which is somehow even better than many of restaurants in Hong Kong.
