so my bff's pregnant craving was their popcorn chicken... and I do have to say, it is just amazing! I usually just order that with a bubble tea and its a great "girl dinner". They moved from dadeland to miracle mile a while ago, but I was so happy that they just moved, not closed! read more

I ordered some takeout here recently. I got the basics- udon noodles, a popcorn chicken bento, and the general Taos chicken. It came out to about $60. The portions were good and the food was well cooked. It wasn't the best Chinese take out I have ever had but also not the worst. I enjoyed the udon noodles the most. The chicken for the other two dishes was more soggy than crunchy which could have been an artifact of me getting take out. I was really looking forward to the fried rice but it was a bit disappointing as it was lacking flavor (there were parts that were still white and did not get any sauce and there were no eggs) I look forward to trying some more dishes from here. read more

Imperial Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Miami, Florida

Located in the Miracle Marketplace in Coral Gables, Florida, Imperial Tea is a combination of a full service boba/milk tea shop with a fusion Asian restaurant specializing in noodles. My wife and I were craving Chinese food and Imperial Tea was the highest rated restaurant within walking distance of our hotel. Service was friendly for dine-in, and the decent amount of food given was tasty and filling. It's a Chinese menu, with a few dishes from Korea, Japan, and Thailand thrown in. Once you enter, the server at the register asks if it is for dine-in or carry-out. If dine-in, you would be escorted to a table. Warm glasses were brought without being asked, and our order was taken soon after. Stir-fryed Udon with Chicken ($14.99) - It was good, well executed with a tasty sauce. Worth it if you really like thick wheat noodles, with a little bit of vegetables. The chicken can be add-on to any dish and are the breast strips that can be commonly sourced as frozen that many restaurants use. Pad Thai with Shrimp ($15.99) - I was surprised how much I enjoyed this dish, considering where I was getting it from. It's the only Thai-based dish on the menu (not a good sign), but it's clear that the chef behind the scenes knows how to prepare noodle dishes. The noodles were prepared well, didn't get clumpy, with the right amount of sauce and crushed peanuts. Each bite was really good. Egg Drop Soup ($8.99) - only offered in a large size, it was plenty for two people. The chicken broth was good with plenty of egg, expertly spun (no large chunks). And they hadn't too much corn starch to make it too gummy or thick. Service was attentive throughout, and we paid the bill right at the table. read more

Will return An odd place for a Chinese restaurant: Hooters, Dollar Tree, Pizza Hut ... Google maps directed us into Webb Dixie parking lot. When we finally find it, I was taken back at its appearance: t's vacant and looks like take out place, or canteen. We went in because we didn't have time to look. What a surprise: we liked both dishes: spicy beef 水煮牛 and mapo tofu 麻婆豆腐. Although they've beers in the fridge but they couldn't serve because their liquor license lapsed. Oh well. Food deserves 4 star Service 4 Decor 2 -:) It was empty when we arrived and was empty when we leave. Hanging there, we'll come back again. read more

Great for delivery or a solo lunch! Lots of variety and great teas. Not always super easy to get to because it's in the plaza but worth the effort. read more

Such an unassuming place in a random mall on coral way wildly exceeding expectations. We came to fix a boba craving and left big fans of imperial tea and their delicious food! Everything is reasonably priced and everything we ate was delicious. Entree, app, and boba drink came out to $30ish. This was enough food for two people to feel satisfied. I highly recommend you try the crispy tofu. It was one of many good vegetarian options but even if you eat meat it's just good! The taro snow was basically a boba frappe and was well worth a try. I've been here for boba before and it's great for that. But I'm glad I now know what a great food spot it is. The variety is wonderful and it's the perfect place when you're craving pretty much any kind of Asian food! read more

I never had high expectations for Asian food in Miami. But in all honesty Imperial Tea doesn't deserve to be judged by those expectaciones. Their food is really really good in its own right. The Korean cheese noodle is like nothing I've tried before and so flavorful. The tofu app is also delicious and comes with a great sauce for dipping. And the teas are also some of the best in Miami. It's in a small outdoor mall and has a very assuming storefront and interior but this place is definitely a must try for Asian food. The waiters were also quick and friendly and the prices were so reasonable. Finally! Do not miss this Miami hidden gem read more

Imperial Tea - Menu - Bubble Tea Near Me - Miami, Florida

Excellent food, the service is excellent, the most authentic Chinese and Japanese food.

After dinner, I was thirsty and having a pretty tea-rible hankering for boba. It was quite horrendous timing since it was pretty late at night, and all the limited boba options around me were mostly closed. Thankfully Imperial Tea saved the day as they were still taking orders through UberEats. Additionally, they had a REALLY great deal on UberEats for BOGO on the Mango Green Tea, so obviously I had to get two. The boba toppings were charged at a premium of $1. But given the fact that the drink was only priced at $4, it was still a great deal! When the drinks arrived, I was pleasantly surprised by the generous portion of boba provided in both drinks. However, the boba balls themselves were slightly on the firmer side, and the tea did not taste like it was good quality tea. This might be attributed to the fact that my hotel was 7 miles away, so it took a bit of time for the driver to deliver my order. And the fact that it was end of day, so I probably got the leftover batch. Would love to try out some of the food items on my next visit. And will definitely order earlier in the day see if that makes a difference. read more

The place is located in the plaza in Coral Way. I didn't really like the boba - it was too watery for me. I got a lychee slush and i barely tasted anything. They do serve other food, but I didn't get a chance to try it. The ambience and service is okay. read more

The food was soso to okay. Even though the dish was spicy and the flavor of the Kimiche is known. The beef was lacking flavor. It looked like there was no seasoning on the steak. Regarding service felt like the person freaks out a little when asked questions, on deals and promotions, to the point where is not very helpful at all and leading towards discouragement of even asking more questions. Thr feel of the place even thought they play Latin music in a Chinese restaurant it dose not feel alive or welcoming at all. Also, on there take out menus when ordering in the restaurant make sure to ask to have your menu punch/stamped. When you get ten of these your 11th or 10th order will be 10% discount. If you do not tell them before ordering they will not punch/stamp your order. read more

Love this place! My top one choice when I miss home cuisine. My always go to Chinese restaurant in this area. Everything tastes authentic, with good price. But as to their milk tea, not my type of tea :) read more

Imperial Tea is the best bubble tea spot I have tried so far in Miami. The Brown Sugar Tea was delicious and the tapioca pearls melted in my mouth. I wish there were a few more caffeine free options but otherwise it was great. Will come back again. read more

We were so happy at the quality and Chinese home cooking flavor! We were impressed and will go again!

I had a great experience with this spot! The Imperial Fried Rice was absolutely incredible packed with flavor and perfectly cooked. The crab rangoons were just as impressive: crispy on the outside with a deliciously creamy filling. I also tried the lychee milk tea. While it wasn't my favorite, it wasn't bad either just a bit outside my taste preferences. Overall great place! read more

Was leaving petsmart when it started raining, so I thought I'd check this place out until the rain stopped. When I first walked in, I couldn't really tell the vibe. There was a refrigerated drink area on the side, plus a bunch of tables with plates on them. So one end I got a fast food vibe, on the other I got a sit-down and be served by a waiter vibe. Ended up being the latter, a casual sit-down setting! They seem to have a popular pick-up/take-out service. The food was surprisingly great. I got the fried udon noodles with chicken, and a green mill tea + boba with no sugar and light ice. The udon noodles were possibly the best I've ever had, granted I've only had udon noodles on a handful of occasions. The noodles were soft, the sauce was excellent, and the chicken wasnt rubbery or squishy like other places -- it was actually decent quality chicken! I added chili oil to my food and honestly this just made it 10/10. The veggies inside (scallions, bok choi, onions, carrot) were cooked very well and added great flavor and crunch to the soft noodles. The green tea with honey boba was good. No complaints. If you love a lot of milk, mine seemed like it couldve used a bit more milk on the outside, but it tasted great for me. I also like my coffee and tea's with minimal milk/cream/sugar, so maybe I'm not the best judge of it. The service was great! Never had a moment where I felt like I was waiting, despite the workers balancing food/tea preparation + take-out + me. Will definitely come again and try some other dishes. read more

Imperial Tea - JAPANESE FRIED UDON with chicken. Green Milk Tea with boba - Bubble Tea Near Me - Miami, Florida

A staple bubble tea shop with an extensive menu of tea flavors and snack foods! Very excited to see that this second location has expanded the menu to include more meal options as well, and provides a very spacious dining area. Some of my favorite drinks from them include the winter melon and rose milk teas, but there are so many good options to choose from, including yakult and fruit teas. Drinks can be customized for ice level and sweetness. Food-wise, the popcorn chicken is a fail-safe pairing with bubble tea. For meals, I am also impressed by their braised tofu which is a very soft tofu with crispy exterior. Service is great. Huge plus is parking is much more convenient compared to the OG location by dadeland mall: there is street parking or parking in the plaza garage. Overall a great experience for both done-in or takeout! read more

Got really bad poisoning after eating here. Lasted about a week it might have been cross contamination but who knows.

Very mediocre food. General Tso was strange. The tea was heavy syrup. I don't think I'll ever order here again, felt like a huge waste of money. The only good thing was the crab ragoon, probably because it was pre made elsewhere, frozen and fried. LAN Pan and Taste 105 are much better options in the area. read more

Ordered for delivery and was quite satisfied. It arrived in good conditions and still hot. Of course good handling from the uber driver. I tried the fried Udon and really liked the flavor, tasted fresh not overdone nor reheated or something similar. Tasty vegetables and tender chicken. The miso soup was great as well, a big bigger portion due to the container size but that's actually a plus. The bag comes with plastic fork, spoon, chopsticks, soy and suck sauce so pretty complete for a ready to it order. Would order again! read more

Got delivery. I had ginger chicken and Asian Udon noodles. Food fresh, hot and delicious.

Pros: The waiter was good. He checked on me. White rice was cooked good. Strawberry milk tea with boba was absolutely delicious!!! Cons: The broccoli that usually comes with the orange chicken was completely cold. I could tell it was steamed at some point due to it being tender. The spring rolls are ok, nothing to really brag about. The fried orange chicken and egg rolls were fried till the outside was very hard. A little tough to bite through. If you're in a bind to eat real quick, then this is the place to visit. Honestly don't feel the taste reflect the prices. Plus it was lunch time, super slow on a Monday, hence me originally hoping the food quality would have been on point as previous reviews. read more

I normally don't leave reviews anymore, except when I experienced something exceptional or something outrageously terrible. In this case, I was flabbergasted.... Please take a look at the tomato egg soup from Imperial tea. I understand inflation and recession and all, but god damn....this is a RIP OFF! Needless to say, I'm never ordering food from them again. Not dadeland, not coral way. I'm so disappointed especially when I am an occasional regular. read more

Bobba teas are great. And priced very fair. They have an extensive menu. The food is fantastic. From the ramen to the honey chicken. All of it is great. Been there a bunch of times for lunch. Will continue going to eat there. read more

The food was delicious and well-priced! our new go-to takeout. Everything we ordered was great and big portions.

Happy to have gone on a whim to try Imperial as I am often running errands in this shopping center. I ordered General Tso's Chicken with fried rice to go. I also ordered a Thai Milk Tea with boba. Everything tasted great and food quality was much better than the few Chinese options in the vicinity. The food was ready in less than 20 min and the staff was incredibly welcoming and the restaurant was very clean. My only suggestion to the owners would be not to put the drinks in the same bag with the hot food. Even though I picked up my order as soon as it was ready, the ice in my tea was completely melted. Cannot wait to go back and try more options as there is so much on the menu! read more

So delicious and refreshing. I like to ask for less sugar cause the regular is too sweet. They have fun flavors like rose and plum. You can mix two in a large size. read more

I come here when I pass by the area. I love their teas and have tried most of them. I sometimes get something hot like their tofu dish. The place is in the middle of the marketplace and seems boxlike and echoey, but they seem to do their best with the ambiance. read more

Will always recommend this place. Food is DELICIOUS, staff is always on top of orders, tea is very good. Highly recommend the orange chicken bento with their fried rice. Delicious! read more

Went there 15 mins before they were closing, and they refused to take my order. I expressed how far I traveled to get a boba tea and informed her that the girl on the phone said that as long as I got there before closing, they could make my order. I understand that they want to go home. But seriously!!! they should display the cut-off time to make orders. read more

Their original milk tea is absolutely disgusting - I'm experiencing nausea and have to throw the rest of it away.. They added entirely too much sugar and I cannot finish the entire thing without risking a blood sugar spike or regurgitating... I wasn't asked how much sugar I wanted and it tastes like I reviewed over 150%.. The service was also poor - the older woman working the cash register was fairly rude but was laughing and joking with the customers seated so it was all around an undesirable experience. For boba, try Sovereign Downtown instead - it's worth the drive! read more

Super roomy, super nice staff, super good food. They let me sit here for two hours to watch JJBA. 10/10 would go again. Got the popcorn chicken and crispy tofu bento box. Really good portions and good prices. Also their drinks are GUD (passionfruit and kumquat slush) read more

you would think if your prices are as high as they are you wouldn't charge $1 for each chilly oil. at some point the abuse of customers and the integrity of your business has to lead ahead of profit. I'm so disappointed in imperial Tea. the quality has really gone down. won't be eating there anymore. read more

I've been coming here since they opened their coral way location! Absolutely love their Taro Snowmills! There use to super friendly staff who knew what they were doing and never failed to please a customer. With time, the quality of both service and their drinks/food has declined. The lady with black hair and braces is very unprofessional and does not know how to make the Taro, so unfortunately this place lost its value to me. read more

Stumbled on this place while visiting Miami. I was looking for a bubble tea spot before heading to the airport. I ordered the Taro milk tea with boba. The drink was good, sweet and fresh. Just what I needed. I am happy customer. Would definitely recommend this place for their boba tea. read more

I'm always looking for good Chinese food and this is a neighborhood gem. It's a simple place, but the food is fresh, tasty, and light (not weighed down with oil or cornstarch). On top of that, our server, Pablo, was extremely pleasant and efficient. I have an allergy and they made shrimp with broccoli specially for me and it was delicious. I highly recommend the food as well as the boba tea. read more
