Casa Imperial - Toronto, Ontario

Food was decent, but I've had much better dim sum in the Toronto area. It's a historic building, so it was cool to eat in a former mansion. When the bill arrived there was a 25% tip added to it. I told the manager I will tip, ... but not that much. He got very aggressive and because of that, I didn't leave a tip and will not be returning. Read more

Dim sum pretty good. Very nice atmosphere and good service from the servers. More expensive than the regular dim sum places nearby. $85 including tax for 4 people and 8 dim sums.

Stepping into this Chinese restaurant felt like a nostalgic journey back to the high-class eateries of 90s Hong Kong or Shanghai. The decor is beautifully reminiscent of that era, with elegant furnishings and an atmosphere that exudes a blend of classic charm and sophistication. From the moment I walked in, I ... was transported to a different time, marveling at the attention to detail in the interior design. What truly impressed me was that the quality of the food did not take a backseat to the stunning decor. Each dish was crafted with care and precision, resulting in an amazing culinary experience. The spinach seafood dumplings were an absolute standout. The filling was fresh and flavorful, perfectly complemented by the delicate, chewy skin of the dumplings, which was very springy and tender. Another highlight was the fried yam dumplings. They were beautifully crispy on the outside, yet wonderfully soft and flavorful on the inside. Each bite was a delightful mix of textures and tastes, showcasing the chef’s expertise and attention to detail. Despite the restaurant’s high-class ambiance, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming, making it a perfect place for both special occasions and casual dining. The staff were attentive and friendly, enhancing the overall dining experience. In summary, this restaurant offers not just a meal but an experience, transporting diners to a bygone era while serving up top-notch, authentic Chinese cuisine. The spinach seafood dumplings and fried yam dumplings, in particular, were unforgettable, with their perfect balance of flavors and textures. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking to indulge in exquisite food within a beautifully nostalgic setting. I can't wait to return and explore more of their menu or even held my wedding here! Read more

We were a group of 4. The food, service and atmosphere was great. The prices were really good. We ordered a variety of dim sum. If you love shrimp, there is plenty of it. The food was flavourful but lacked spiciness which I totally get so we got hot sauce ... and that was it. We devoured our food. Read more

On Monday, we were here for a lunch, and it felt great. This restaurant is located within an historic building. This building used to be a hotel, then transformed into a western restaurant, and later became a Chinese restaurant. I really enjoy this kind of layout and the ambiance of ... an old dining environment. The waitstaff provided attentive service. Although the prices were a bit high, they were still acceptable.
