When we showed up. We were quickly greeted and sat down and they brought some tea for us to try. All of our food came out quickly and was prepared very well. We liked the many of the options were easily shareable. The restaurant has a good ambience, albeit on the louder side. Side so if you want to come here for a quiet evening to set your expectations. We would definitely come back here again to try more of their food as all of their dishes were very yummy!

We were sat quickly without a reservation during the week and every person working was attentive and helpful. Our waters were refilled frequently, tea was checked to ensure we had plenty and was still warm, hostess brought us our drinks so we were happy there. The ambiance was busy and active. A bit loud but tables were quite full. We ordered the potstickers as a starter. They were nice big and juicy. I ordered the lemon chicken and white rice for lunch. The lemon chicken was dry and the sauce didn't taste like traditional lemon sauces I've had. The rice was a bit hard but edible. My partner had a chicken salad and she seemed to enjoy it. While I was disappointed in my selection hoping it was a one off. They also do not have fried rice which is my favorite. Overall good restaurant just need to fine tune their rice and lemon chicken.

For my main dish, my go to is Signature Beef Mifen Soup with mild spice level. The noodles are always cooked perfectly, soup is flavorful, and there's always plenty of meat and toppings in each bowl. It's a small restaurant with just a handful of tables indoors and maybe two small tables outdoors. They've gained popularity over the years so there may be a wait during prime lunch or dinner hours.

On top of the great food, the service was efficient and our bowls were ready in no time. Will be back. Tip: come before 11:30am (they open at 11am) if you don't want to wait in line. The space is tiny so seating is limited.

The combination of meat, veggies and the exterior crispy pancake created such an outstanding tasting effect. The lamb dish had one of the most tender meats I've tasted. The brown sugar sticky rice cake was soft inside and hard outside; with just the right amount of sweetness. Service was ok. They should've been kinder and more grateful. I liked how they have a sign posted on window saying that gratuity is at free will and you don't pay for the wrong dish they send to you. It showed accountability. That's why we keep coming back, for now.

I've come here a handful of times for 5+ years and generally check in for their monthly specials…read more Parking is pretty full due to the other stores in the area. There was no line for us to be seated. I was able to flag down a server to seat us since they seem to be extremely busy cleaning tables and servicing others. The hotpots are full of ingredients and the broth has always been tasty. Unfortunately, the meats seem to be overcooked. Prices have been going up over the years where only the monthly special is enticing for the value. Servers were friendly and checked in on us, but it took 25 minutes for our food to show up at our table after we ordered. The only consistent experience I've had are the oranges at the end of the meal. They are always amazingly sweet, juicy, and comes off the peel easily. I don't usually enjoy oranges, but I love the ones HomeEat offers! Will be back if in the area, but hope kitchen service will be quicker in the future.

I appreciated that they had a parking lot in the back so it was easy to park in the back and run in and grab my food. I liked that the veggie fried rice had more veggies than your typical fried rice, it was filled with zucchini and celery. The chicken chow mein was also pretty good but the chicken quality wasn't quite as high as I'd like, but I admit I'm probably overly picky. Everyone inside the restaurant working there was so nice and friendly, I would absolutely come back for some easy takeout!

This place never disappoints…read more A smiling waiter - who seemed super busy but had a huge smile on her face - just the right attitude for people ringing in the Easter weekend on a Good Friday. We enjoyed every dish! The chongqin spicy noodles, the salt and pepper shrimps, the sizzling cumin lamb, the fish in chili oil. Yum yum yum! We ordered the hottest version but it was not too spicy for us - it was very flavorful. The fresh cut red chillies they give you, was really spicy - the red bean spicy sauce was just right. We enjoyed the cool beers with the spicy food. It's a unique ambience for a Univ Ave restaurant- it's just a Chinese kitchen serving good food - like you came to a home and got served really well. Will come back again with more family members. Ps: another surprising thing - we were a party of 6 and they didn't automatically charge us the tip - I took care of them - because I was super satisfied and happy with my meal!

This is probably the only Chinese restaurant around here with such an inviting outdoor patio, which makes it perfect for us since our dog babies can relax too. The menu strikes a really smart balance between authentic Sichuan spicy dishes and more Americanized Chinese classics, so there's something for everyone. The signature spicy fish fillet in flaming red oil is a must-try -- bold, fragrant, and so satisfying it might have just saved me an expensive flight back to China. The chili oil wontons are my personal favorite starter and never disappoint. This is an easy repeat spot for us, and we'll definitely go back around CNY days.

Quality of the ingredient is still good. It looks like their business declined since the last time…read moreI was here, so they closed the upstairs area. I feel like they pivoted their focus to skewers or something because I always see them at festivals. The sauce bar was pretty underwhelming compared to the other hotpot places in the area. The portion size was also very small. For ~$80, I usually get bloated and could have leftovers at other hot pot places. However, that same dollar amount would get me to "perfect portion" - aka I don't overeat, and there's no leftovers. See the picture with the small dishes for the latest portion size we got. Idk, I feel like it shrunk a looot.

Food and experience is closer to 4.5 but rounded down bc it's so expensive…read more Was curious to try this new restaurant specializing in Peking duck. Reservation was easy to make over the phone and you have to preorder duck ahead of time. We also got pan fried buns, bok choy, and mandarin fish. Dishes are expensive but good quality. I read mixed reviews about the duck but I thought it was great - crispy skin and relatively tender/juicy meat. It is the first time I've seen an extra charge for the duck pancake wrappers; it was not a pleasant surprise but at least they were thin and delicious. We opted to have a soup made from the leftover duck and that was delicious. Service was also pretty good; they even packaged the leftovers for us. Highly recommend for a special occasion or to impress friends but too much of a splurge to go to regularly.

I recently moved to the Bay and was really excited to try some Chinese food up here, especially…read morewith all the hype around Imperial Treasure. Unfortunately, the experience was pretty underwhelming overall. The Peking duck was definitely the highlight of the meal -- crispy skin, flavorful, and probably the only dish I'd genuinely come back for. But everything else missed the mark for me. We ordered the string beans, salted egg corn shrimp, xiao long bao, pork buns, cabbage dry pot, and black pepper beef. Most of the dishes lacked flavor and were noticeably oily. The pork buns were especially disappointing because the dough was overly thick and dense compared to the filling. The biggest letdown was probably the black pepper beef. The meat quality was really poor..a lot of chewy pieces with tendons, and it was hard to enjoy because almost every bite felt tough. Definitely not what I expected from a restaurant with this reputation. Overall, aside from the duck, the food felt heavy, bland, and not very balanced flavor-wise. I really wanted to love this place, but it didn't live up to the expectations for me.
