The Imperial

Bought the Duck Banquet voucher on Cudo and went there for dinner on Friday night just gone. I can not speak highly enough of the venue and every staff member we encountered. I had read a few of the other reviews which were less than favourable so went in with an open mind. There were very few people there which surprised us. The location is awesome and the views breathtaking. Looking straight out at the lights on the river and bridge through floor to ceiling glass was very cool. The food was delicious and plentiful and the drinks were cold and served quickly after ordering them. The duck was delicious as were the accompaniments. I took my wife and another friend and they were equally impressed. I would have been delighted with the entire evening even if I had paid full price but at the discounted rate even better. We will be back soon and will take more people. We eat at a lot of restaurants so plenty to compare to. This was awesome.

Had dinner here tonight and the service was fantastic. We had a scoopon deal for 2. $29 for 2 people for an 8 course pre-set yum cha meal plus drink each. We were seated reasonably promptly and our drink orders taken promptly. The food arrived approximately 10 minutes later. Unfortunately my fiancé is allergic to prawns so we asked which dishes had prawns. Immediately upon hearing about the allergy, the waiter offered two bring an extra beef item for us so that she would not be missing out. We said that it was not necessary but he insisted because two of the set dishes has prawns. The food was fantastic. The dumplings were moist and hot. The pork buns were amazing. The one item which I felt was lacking was the salt and pepper calamari which was a bit hard. The waiter then returned with not one, but two different beef based dim sims. These were juicy and warm and were very good. The bartender also promptly topped up my water glass as soon as it hit 3/4 empty. One occasion I did not even realize he had topped it up. haha. To top off the night we were given fortune cookies :D Thank you to the waiter who kindly offered the additional dishes. He did not have to do it but it was very appreciated. I did not get your name but you had glasses and blonde in your hair.

Had an All You Can Eat Dumplings Voucher. On the ad description, the different dumplings offered were pork, prawns,beef etc & on the photo on the ad, the dumplings were very attractive, but when we got there we had to wait for 30 min & started to fill hungry.I complained & was told that they serve a batch of people at a time, but was not told that, when I made the booking. We were offered a set banquet but I insisted that our voucher was for the all you can eat dumplings. I was looking forward to the attractive dumplings that were on the ad photo.When the dumplings finally arrived, my husband & I were given 8 steam baskets x 3 PORK dumplings in each, a total of 24 steamed PORK dumplings, plus 2 small plates of fried PORK dumplings x 3 on each plate, total of 6 fried PORK dumplings.Then soup with approx 9 PORK dumplings arrived. I couldn't believed it, we were served just PORK dumplings, I returned 2 steam baskets(6 PORK dumplings)from the initial 8, which was rediculous in the first place, giving us 8 steam baskets of PORK dumplings(24 pcs). I felt sick, we couldn't eat anymore of the same kind & left another basket of PORK dumplings(3 pcs) untouched. We were told the BEEF dumplings were still coming & more PORK dumplings were coming as well. It was a disaster & we left feeling sick after eating just one kind(PORK) of dumplings.I believe this promo should be scrapped. In retrospect I should have accepted the set banquet they offered us initially.

Horrible food. Terrible service. Hours waiting. Worst dumplings ever! Pork, Pork, Pork. That's all you get when using a Groupon "all you can eat" voucher. Stay away from this place or be prepared to wait over 40 minutes to be served a set of six pork dumplings, following for another 20 minutes waiting for "soup" with some other pork dumplings and 15 minutes later you'll get fried, overcooked pork dumplings (again). All you can eat, bullshit. It should be renamed to All You Can Wait.
