Imperial Kitchen in Reading

They don’t allow children in the restaurant. It is apparently part of the casino.

Food quality is low. Waiting time is too long. It is located inside casino and strong smoking smell everywhere. NOT recommended for family.

Specially romances for men! 😍😍 (It is direct translate from Hong Kong's slang!!)

Taste good but too expensive, dishes are small.

The best Hong Kong Style Kitchen in the UK

The foods are tasty. The service was attentive. Place is really cozy and relax ! The roasted pork is amazing👍🏻❤️

Went at lunch time and only afternoon tea can be served there. We ordered noodles with toppings which are tasty and authentic. The portion is a bit small though. Ordered dim sum platter and milk tea, which is great too. Will definitely try dinner next time.

I had a wonderful and enjoyable evening at this restaurant with my friends! The service was attentive and considerate, and the environment was comfortable. The food was excellent, and they even served dessert after the meal! I will definitely come back next time, and I must reserve the seafood meal! The only downside is that children are not allowed.

Delicious, and authentic meal served by very attentive staff who were polite and knowledgeable. The restaurant and bar are very inviting with great ambience. The place to visit and have sumptuous authentic Chinese food 👍

Tasty food and excellent service, thank you Ernest & Yau!

The best Chinese cuisine in Reading! Brought family from Hong Kong to dine here and surprisingly delicious! Not only did they have the taste of hometown but even way beyond it! Highly recommend!

The best 👌 Chinese food in town so far Imperial Kitchen is an excellent choice for anyone looking to enjoy authentic Chinese cuisine in a sophisticated setting. Its combination of delicious food, impeccable service, and pleasant ambiance makes it a standout option for Chinese food enthusiasts and newcomers alike. Whether you're dining with family, friends, or colleagues, Imperial Kitchen promises a memorable culinary journey. I recently dined at Imperial Kitchen and was thoroughly impressed with the experience. The ambiance was inviting and elegantly understated, setting the perfect tone for a delightful meal. The menu offered a wide variety of traditional and contemporary Chinese dishes, each more tempting than the last.

Highly recommend the afternoon tea served on Friday, Saturday and Sunday in the restaurant. Lots of different baked sweet treats to try and the waffles were amazing. Many thanks Judith and team for spending the time to explain the different foods, I will be back soon to try more !!

Went to eat there because the reviews for the dumplings were good only to find out they do not do dumplings any more. Tried some other food items from the menu and the food was extremely overpriced and bland presentation was nice but that was it. Our fried rice wasn’t even that it was plain boiled rice with egg. We ended having to wait over 45 mins to be served and the restaurant was mostly empty. To add Insult to injury we got sent a parking bill fee when all we did was go here for dinner they charged us. We even booked in advance before we came and no one told us about parking fees. Honestly worse restaurant experience I’ve had in a long time I would never come to eat here again. A waste of £60.

The restaurant is an absolute GEM!! The food is delicious. The owner and all the staff and very friendly and personable. You have to try the food! I have worked through a few dishes from both of the menus and have never been disappointed. Everything is amazing!!!

You must try bubble afternoon tea! And those delicious waffles!

I’ve never had a bad meal here, the food is gorgeous, the staff are beyond lovely and so incredibly attentive and welcoming. It’s a lovely place to be, and I’ll be sure to keep coming back

This restaurant is a must visit! A wide range of dishes to choose from, the staff are friendly and welcoming. Every meal I have had here has been incredible!

Lovely restaurant! The food was excellent, prompt service and always friendly staff. Highly recommended. A must visit!

Food was ok but very plain, not the best Chinese food I’ve had and the portion sizes aren’t the biggest. Make sure you ask at reception to put your vehicle details in at the terminal because they don’t ask and you can easily get caught out with the parking agency.

Reading’s best kept secret. Lovely owners, authentic dim sum. Will be returning.

Ng, and her team, really went out of their way to provide a warm and welcoming service. Attention to detail was excellent. On arrival, I wasn't sure what to choose from the "Afternoon Tea" menu; Ng recommended a selection of items. I accepted Ng's recommendation, and I was so pleased that I did. What a delightful taste-bud adventure. The food was piping hot, delicious, fresh and so good. I was very content and delighted with my simple satisfying meal. Thank you to everyone at Imperial Kitchen, in particular Ng, Joseph, and the Waiting staff. Also, compliments to the Chef. I will be returning.

Delicious, flavoursome, authentic cuisine. This place is definitely a hidden gem. Looking forward to the next time! Thank you.

Top notch Chinese restaurant hiding in the Genting casino. Ask for the Chinese style menu (the main menu is more standard westernised Chinese) for some really interesting dishes. Super friendly service

Amazing Authentic Chinese the food is outstanding there is a European for all the British Favourites. You must ask for the other menu which is full of amazing dishes. A great place to go for an intimate dinner or a celebration. Lunch time is incredible if you love Dim Sum it is the best I have eaten outside Hong Kong. Absolutely amazing food and great service.

This is a gem and Reading’s best kept secret. Good banquet style Chinese restaurants are becoming fewer and it is really hard to find a good one that isn’t a glorified takeaway. Imperial Kitchen stands out as (probably) the best Chinese restaurant in Reading and definitely the best that I and my family have ever eaten at. You’ll be given the European menu but if you ask there is a Chinese menu with proper authentic food from China. We had a couple of dishes from each and on the whole preferred the Chinese menu. The manager and head waiter had a real passion for Chinese food and very helpful and friendly. We were a little reticent because it was inside the casino but so glad we went.

Expectional service and tasty food . Served by a lovely young lady who was very knowledgeable about the Chinese cuisine. She took time to recommend dishes to best suit our taste buds.

Good food and very friendly service. Easy parking. Can't ask for more. Oh and thanks for the dessert on the house :)

Good food and nice service will visit again .

Good food and good service, so good 👍👍👍, because its in casino, therefore, no kids👍👍👍

Very authentic Cantonese style dishes. Their claypot rice is a must try. It seems they also serve hot pot as well.

Fantastic and authentic quality Chinese cuisine. Great food, warm and friendly service, a highly pleasurable experience. We will definitely keep coming back for more. Thank you to all at Imperial Kitchen for a great evening.

Amazing food served by Ng and.the team. Friendly service offering good advice on food selection. The roast meat on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday is very good, and they serve a decent dry beef ho fun (without having to go to London!). Love coming to eat here

Awful service and food overall. Food was late (took an hour to come) and on top they forgot to serve an item plus one of the female server extremely rude, she did not look like she wanted to be there.

Just come back from our first ever meal here! It won’t be our last ! Food was fabulous and the staff and service was wonderful ! So so friendly and engaging ! Would definitely recommend .

Good service, food took a little long to arrive

The food is reasonably priced, the staff is friendly, the restaurant is clean, and the special dishes are delicious.

非常有趣的中式餐廳，在一間賭場內。侍應非常招呼好，十分友善。餸菜十分好味，我點了生炒骨、粉絲什菜煲、四季肉碎扁豆、支竹牛腩煲、香辣肥脹。到最尾送上紅豆沙，真是完美結局。

We had the chicken with green peppers and black bean sauce. The chicken was so rubbery and gloopy my wife said it was inedible. The problem with chicken in the catering industry is that you can stipulate the amount of water content. More water content the cheaper the product. This one was particularly gloopy. The other dishes were fine but the food was served on flat plates. No bowls as standard. Service was ok. Prices a bit steep. Customers here were it seemed mainly Chinese. I would have thought Then that the food would have been excellent.

Amazing experience! The restaurant manager was lovely and the food was amazing! Definitely will visit again

Good service. The food is a little bit salty.

This is the nicest place to eat and we love it. The staff are amazing. The food is amazing and it’s such value for money. Most delicious food

A hidden gem inside Genting Casino, serving really authentic Cantonese dishes. Some of the dishes like clay pot rice bowl are hardly find here in the UK. Price is quite reasonable with free parking available onsite.

Let me start by saying this isn’t what you’d expect from a Chinese restaurant within a casino! We didn’t have a reservation but we were thankfully very early as it filled up nearly immediately after we sat down. The food was all delicious and freshly cooked. I unfortunately had a cold and the owner saw I was blowing my nose and ran over with a stack of tissues and a reassuring smile, how lovely is that! She came back later on and we had a brief chat about how she started the restaurant, such a wonderful lady!

This is a great Chinese restaurant in Reading. The food is authentic and delicious. The owner is super friendly and gives a good and warm hospitality. I would like to give all five stars but I gave four instead. Because the restaurant is located inside a casino, we couldn't bring our children to join us for the visit. But overall, everything is brilliant and it is worth to give a go.

Nice staff and really good food, delicious!

Clean, tasty, well priced, polite staff and again really good food!

Awesome restaurant in an unusual place. Be aware that there are two menus. An Anglicised one with the takeaway greatest hits or the proper one which has some of the best food you can get in Reading. Plus if you ask or order in advance there are special things, braised pig trotters, oysters, whole Grouper etc. We've got this as a monthly standard it's that good.

Be warned; it is inside a Casino. You will need to join their free membership first, to be allowed entry. But it was worth the time it took to sign up. Food was good for the area it is in. Authentic style food, rather than takeout.

The restaurant is located inside the casino. N G was very friendly. The food was absolutely delicious and the best Chinese in Reading.

Absolutely world-blindingly, mesmerisingly fantastic! The BEST Chinese in Reading (no question) by a SE.A mile. Would highly recommend. Ng was the BEST host ever.

Great food , nice environment, really good service.

Overall great authentic tasty Chinese cuisine, and a lovely ran family restaurant. Please note this place has recently had a new ownership since 2022 (still called the same place) so won’t have dim sum but the other dishes are delicious and highly recommend. Worth noting that there is free parking, though it is within the Genting casino so people would need to have or open up a free membership and be over 18. Also note it is evening only from 6pm till very late and not open on Wednesday. Thanks NG and her team for lovely customer experience and prepared meals.

Best place for dim sum in the whole Berkshire, finally I don't need to travel to London for nice Chinese cuisines.

Only place left in Reading to serve fresh dim sum! Decent quality, also serves authentic Cantonese main dishes and hotpot. Remember to bring ID and it's only open from 6pm to 2am.

Great food, great value, great service!

clean and fabulous place with quality food , excellent service, and great value!

Very good visual environment, the food is delicious, I like dim sum Chinese and Clay pot
