An excellent restaurant up a steep flight of steps. The restais very well maintained and very pleasant to enjoy a lovely lunch. Service was very fast for everything being cooked fresh so I can only complement the efficiency of the kitchen as well.

Gorgeous! We had a royal banquet for 6 and the food was incredible. We had two little ones with us and they were so well looked after. Service was fantastic. We wanted for nothing. Can’t wait to go back

The owner is a lovely gentleman who made the restaurant feel more homely. Service is fine otherwise, but they aren't very attentive to drinks. The banquet menus are quite good value. We went for the Royal banquet with some additions: - I don't understand why chicken and sweetcorn soup is a thing. - the ribs were OK but the sauce lacked depth. - the salt and chilli prawns were juicy and fresh. - the cantonese style beef was tangy and sweet, which doesn't work taste wise. Five thumbs down. - the crispy duck was dry - everything else lacked flavour so wasn't notable. All in all it's really good value for money, but very average.

Our first time at the imperial we chose the emperor banquet set meal for two I have posted a picture of what is included service was great speedy and attentive I wasn't keen on the soup but my wife enjoyed it all of the advertisers were very tasty but all three main dishes were far too sweet for our liking if we return we will ask for advice and choose something different unfortunately if you have a disability or elderly they are too steep flight of stairs up to the restaurant which may be a problem overall it was great experience and will return
