Imperial City in Hammersmith and Fulham

We liked 80% of all the dishes ordered for our lavish dim sum lunch, which is unusually good for us. In a quiet setting with some street parking nearby, the attractive room was spacious. Only 2 wait staff but they seemed to manage while it remained half full.

The restaurant is very attractive. The service was friendly and keen to please. My crab and sweetcorn soup was very tasty. Our main meals were equally delicious and generous. Recommended

Very very quiet on a weeknight which was a shame because the place is lovely. Great decor and prompt and efficient service. Food was lovely and not too badly priced for this part of London. Handy for the Hilton Doubletree and other hotels, but such a quiet area, I imagine attracting passing trade could be a struggle. Hope the locals support it though because I can’t fault it.

Delicious food! Near double tree by Hilton - Chelsea, can arrive there by walking from the hotel within 5 minutes! The Chinese food is traditional and delicious.

The food was lovely but the service on a Friday evening was appalling. Soup that we had ordered with our starters didn’t arrive and only arrived after I had questioned with staff where it was. After an hour and a half no main courses had arrived, which only finally arrived after we had queried again with the waiters. It took another 15 mins for one persons main to arrive after the other 3 of our party had their main. We felt totally ignored by the wait staff, as we were on a large table near the door that they completely ignored. I went to the bar part way through to ask for more drinks, which then didn’t arrive for over 15 mins and had to go back to the bar and ask again for them. I’m giving a generous 2 out of 5 for the food, based on service alone I’d give a minus 10.
