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.
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.
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.
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!
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
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.
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.
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.
Imperial tea is conveniently located in a shopping center in Coral Gables, perfect if you need a refreshing drink or snack while shopping. I tried a taro bobba tea, it was not too sweet & so refreshing... looking forward to visiting soon!
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.

Give it a try! I've had a few of the teas already and they have been delicious. There is so much variety, it's really tough to choose. The service has always been fast and friendly. Today, I finally sat down to eat a quick lunch. They have takeout and table service. While waiting for my food, I overheard two separate tables mention how much they loved their food. Mine was also so tasty and clearly freshly prepared. After asking for recommendations from the server, I settled on the Korean cheesy noodles - a first for me. The noodles were on point, veggies fresh and tasty and the kimchee was awesome. The sauce used for the noodles was late and tasty and a little spicy. They added some shredded mozzarella cheese at the top which I guess is what makes it a cheesy noodle. It is not like an Alfredo or a mac & cheese, which I was happy about.The portion of chicken was pretty generous esp. for just $1-2 more. Service was prompt. While the place might seem a little stark/institutional at first, it is also super clean inc the spotless bathrooms. I liked this place and want it to stay in business so I can go back again and again. Give it a try! read more
Found this place yesterday while shopping in Coral Way. Was very excited to see another Asian cousin place. This place is huge. That gives them an advantage to put tables far from one another since there is no outside area. Some tables are for bigger parties..others are just for 4. It is a very typical (in a good Asian cultural way) setting. If you are looking for a date night or fancy place..it's not for you then. If you want delicious and real Asian food with all the spices and freshly made right in front of you - then this is the place. It is very very very clean. Bathrooms, hallway, tables, mirrors.. simply clean! Family friendly (not sure about pets). High chairs for kids. Staff was Wearing masks. They cook right after getting your order. So there is no way you will get reheated food. Spices are delicious. They also have bubble teas and other fruit based drinks. Spring rolls - you have to try! Soo crispy and hot snd fresh and yummy! Portions are big! We had to take the rest of the stuff with us. And price will pleasantly surprise you. Check the pics with all the info you need to know. Service is good! Friendly ppl work there. They also deliver- Uber Eats. So..we are gonna order from this place again.. read more

It was my first time getting boba in FL and it was pretty good. I live california and it was hard to find a boba place. I got the Caramel Snow Milk and it was actually pretty good. The boba itself was a little uncooked. It was a bit like a jelly consistency. But overall it was pretty good. 7.5/10 read more

Imperial Tea is on the first floor of the building's shopping center, close to the elevator doors. The restaurant is large with tables accommodating up to 4, but it would be very easy to put tables together if needed for large groups. The menu is extensive! we ordered the Mapo Tofu with vegetables, Korean Kalbi Beef over rice, and Braised Pork with Egg. We also ordered the kumquat yakult tea and a coffee latte with honey boba. The Mapo Tofu comes with either fried rice, white rice, or veggies. We opted for the veggies which was seasoned steamed broccoli and a bit of bok choy. The Mapo was one of the best I've had. Generous helpings of tofu and ground beef with a savory, spicy sauce. The KKB was sweetly grilled and came with a fried egg over white rice. The portions were generous and flavorful. The BPw/E was the most savory, balanced with a boiled egg whose innards provided a creamy counter taste to the saltiness of the pork over white rice. Would dine here again. read more

Went back (because I'm already addicted). As noted before, staff is polite and professional and the restaurant is clean. Tried a few new dishes: - lamb kabobs: nicely seasoned - minced beef soup: nice and light, has beef and tofu - lo mein and fried rice: generous with beef and shrimp - crepe cake with mochi ice cream: YUM. Also had the Peking duck and popcorn chicken again. With bubble tea of course. A++. Highly recommend. read more
