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.

Stir fry and specials

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.

Korean cheese noodles
Audrey S.

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

Mango Green Tea w/ Honey Boba (+$1)
Alex C.

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.

Beef Kimiche
Felix F.

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!

JAPANESE FRIED UDON with chicken. Green Milk Tea with boba
Shaheen E.

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.

I find this disappointing as I always like to go to try different dishes from the standard menu. To me it shows that the restaurants that do a special menu are normally more innovative. Had I known this beforehand I would not have come. Having said that the food I sampled was decent enough. My appetizer was the Korean chicken which was plentiful. My main was the ribs. I was surprised to see that it was just that only meat. I expected there to have been a bit of a garnish or greens. Between the ribs and chicken my whole diet was meat. The dessert was two choices. I went with the chocolate cake. The hocolate cake slice was the smallest slice I've ever been served in a restaurant. I really liked the decor. I also really liked the music that was being played. Service was efficient. The ladies toilets had a damp smell. Overall I was disappointed and would not visit again.

I originally made a reservation for one of our customary Friday date nights about three months ago, but on the day of the reervation, I was notified that they needed to move it to a later time. Rather than adjust our plans, I decided to reschedule for this past Friday. The long-awaited evening finally arrived. After a bit of trouble finding both the parking and the restaurant itself, we made our way inside and were immediately welcomed by a warm and attentive staff. Everyone was genuinely friendly and accomodating, even offering to store our belongings so we could enjoy the meal more comfortably. The menu is relatively small, with only a handful of appetizers and main courses. As I told my girlfriend, "Let's be a little adventurous, because if the menu is this focused, everything must be excellent." To start, we shared the Steak Tartare and the Wonton in Brodo. Both dishes were sensational, packed with flavor and beautifully presented. For our main course, we shared the Charred Wagyu Picanha, cooked medium, along with the Koshihikari Rice. The Wagyu was flavorful and expertly presented, although it was slightly tougher than I would have expected for that particular cut. The real star of the evening, however, was the Koshihikari Rice. Quite honestly, it was the best rice dish we have ever had. The presentation was stunning, the flavor was out of this world, and the portion was generous enough to share comfortably. It's easily a dish worth ordering again, perhaps paired with an individual protein entrée. Next time, we may do exactly that and try the King Salmon. The only things I would improve are the music selection and the wine list. Other than that, this place is perfection. Overall, we had a fantastic evening. Between the exceptional service, thoughtfully executed dishes, and memorable atmosphere, this restauran has definitely earned a spot in our regular rotation of Friday night date destinations.

For October the tasting menu is on miami spice for 75 pp. I would absolutely recommend taking advantage of it if you have the chance. The cavatelli and the koshihikari rice were out of this world. Definitely recommend come hungry and you won't be disappointed!

In addition, we got the blue bird which, we were told, was a best seller. This roll had krab, avocado, cream cheese, papitas fritas, green onions topped w/ sweet plantain, shrimp tempura, and tartara especial de la casa. For dessert, we ordered the cheeseCRACK! It was phenomenal! You must order this if you're craving dessert. They poured homemade Nutella on top of the ice cream when they brought it to the table. Overall, really great experience with exceptional service.

Even with reservations they were a little slow in seating for a fairly empty restaurant (noon). Ordered drinks (tea $6 and coffee $5) then brunch. Seems like service coordination is very off. My spouse got the appetizer a good 15 minutes before mine. I had the biscuit, that was very tasty. The fruit, granola yogurt was good too. The main of crab Benedict was served, next although already cooled and the sauce a congealed. My main, after a good 30 minutes still had not arrived. Apparently a steak and eggs can be miscooked and they had redone it, never bothering to tell us. I did not try it there. Refills on the coffee were never offered. We took the steak and our cinnamon buns to go since we had been there long enough. The final kicker is they have an automatic 20% service charge in order to ensure the staff is paid enough. Seems like a business problem to me. Service was not up to that high of a standard. If you go during Miami Spice I hope they have figured out how to sequence the courses and get them to the table correctly while still hot.
