"We didn't book a table, asked to check the bill within an hour in order to free up the space for next booking. It's fine for me. We made our order once we were sitted. After 45 minutes of sitting and waiting, our first dimsum came, five more minutes the last dimsum was forced to cancel. So we only got ten minutes to finish our food. The waiters kept telling us our time was up and needed to go. What a shame we can't really enjoy our lunch."

"This is one of my favourite Chinese restaurants because I can always get the best seafood dishes from them. Knowing the restaurant owner of course really helps. An authentic anglicised Cantonese food, it has become a dying breed these days. The food is very solid and hence it can stand the test of time. They have a huge menu and seafood to choose from. They also do corkage and let me bring my own wine to the restaurant. Food 9/10, ambience 8.5/10, service 8/10, value for money 8/10. This is a real gem and a Chinese restaurant I and my friends would travel all the way to Teddington to enjoy our dinner."

"Always a great meal and so reassuringly busy with local residents and large Chinese families. A family favourite of ours for many years and now I recommend it to my Airbnb guests. Kudos to Imperial China. A must to order is the Sticky Beef (in a noodle basket) as well as any of their Sizzling Delicacies. Also ask about their rose infused liquor, it kicks a punch!"

"By all means a solid (albeit the only) choice if you find yourself in this area of Greater London but unfortunately the Dim Sum quality doesn't quite compare to others in London. Restaurant is fairly small and you'll NEED to book to advance and be limited a 1.5 hour slot. Service was efficient. Menu is on the pricier side with Dim Sum dishes averaging £5-6 each."

"Wonderful dim sum, high quality and perfectly fresh, cooked and executed. A bit pricey - probably 1.7x of London Chinatown prices, but obviously convenient for those that live close to the area. Do yourself a favour and order the salted egg custard buns"
