Delicious Food & Great Atmosphere!
I've been coming here since I was a kid, and my experience has always been fantastic. The food is consistently delicious, and the atmosphere is great. I especially love that they now offer so many vegan options for dim sum. Wow!

Stunning Vegan & Non-Vegan Options!
My experience at this restaurant was truly stunning! They offer both vegan and non-vegan options that are absolutely delicious, with generous big portions. The interior is beautiful, managing to be both grand and cozy simultaneously. For those who prefer to enjoy their meal outdoors, you can take your food to go and savor it in the community garden (the green between) around the corner, provided you visit during their garden hours (Friday-Sunday, 8 am-3 pm).

Delicious Food, Worth a Return Visit
My experience at this restaurant was very positive. We visited for lunch and enjoyed the crispy fried noodles and fried rice. A couple of days later, we returned for the Peking duck set. The portions were large, and we found the price reasonable. We will definitely come back again for our next trip.

Incredible Vegan Dim Sum!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic, particularly with their vegan dim sum menu, which is one of the biggest I’ve ever seen and absolutely delicious! I had the best vegan xiao long bao I have ever tasted. As someone who grew up eating them but went vegan a few years ago, this made me really happy. The ambiance and service were great too.

Hidden Gem Dim Sum in SF
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! The dim sum has improved significantly, and it's great, especially by San Francisco standards. What's even better is that it's affordable, which is a rarity in the city these days. After its recent reopening, this place has truly become a hidden gem. I'm personally glad it's not as crowded as it used to be, making it easier to walk in and get a table on weekends, though I suspect that won't last long.

Disappointing Dim Sum, Especially the Siu Mai
My experience at this restaurant was average, to be honest. As a big fan of dim sum, especially Siu Mai, I've tried it in many places worldwide. I believe that if the Siu Mai is good, the restaurant is generally good. Unfortunately, the Siu Mai here, costing $7. 90 before tax, was quite disappointing. The taste was comparable to much cheaper dim sum found in Chinatown. While the chicken feet were tasty, they were smaller than what I've encountered elsewhere. The restaurant itself is spacious, and the service was friendly. I might return, but I definitely won't be ordering their Siu Mai again.

Pleasantly Surprised by Dinner!
My experience at this restaurant was a pleasant surprise. I live nearby but had never dined here until recently. The family-style dinner offerings were a great value, with reasonable prices and large portions. It was a good experience overall.

Incredible Vegan Wedding Catering!
Imperial Garden SF & Sassy Foods catered our all-vegan wedding, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience! Elaine, Menny, and their team truly went above and beyond. They made sure everything ran smoothly so we could focus on enjoying the day, which we're extremely grateful for! The food was SO GOOD - our guests couldn't stop raving about it, and everyone had different favorites, but a few standouts were the vegan xiao long bao, turnip cake, and fried glutinous dumplings (ham sui gok). Being from Hong Kong, it meant so much to me to be able to serve vegan dim sum to our family and friends, and show everyone that vegan food can be both authentic and delicious. Thank you, Elaine and Menny, for making our wedding day so special!
