Imperial Court Restaurant - Richmond

The price for King Crab here is very reasonable. They offer large crabs for $14.99 per pound, which is a great deal. The only requirement is that you must order two entrees, but that is not a problem since everything I have tried on the menu has been delicious, with the exception of the Shark's Fin soup, which was disappointing and I may avoid ordering that again in the future unless they improve it. My favorite way to enjoy the King Crab is steamed with garlic for the legs and spicy-fried for the body. I usually skip the baked rice in the shell in favor of other rice dishes to balance out the meal. The fresh garlic used in the dishes adds a delicious flavor that sets this place apart from others I have tried this year. I have also tried King Crab at The Prince Seafood and Grand Honor at Oakridge, but I find Imperial Court to be the best in terms of taste and value. I highly recommend trying their Sauna ribs as well, as they are a tasty addition to any meal. Overall, King Crab Heaven is my go-to spot for delicious Chinese-style King Crab.

Imperial Court is one of the more affordable places to go for dim sum in Central Richmond! BBQ Pork Pastry 4/5 stars These were the best thing we had that day! The skin was perfectly flakey and had notes of citrus. The char siu filling was definitely much sweeter than other BBQ Pork pastries. Fried Shrimp in Eggplant 2/5 stars These were alright. The shrimp filling lacked flavour and was rather flat toned. On the plus side, the eggplant wasn't soggy. Chicken Feet 3.5/5 stars These were standard. The skin was soft and flavourful, and had a subtle spiciness. There were also noodle bunches on the bottom. Chive Crab Dumpling 2/5 stars The skin was ver delicate and skin, and there was an abundent amount of filling. However, these were rather lacking in flavour. Beef Rice Roll 2/5 stars The skin wasn't as soft as I would have liked and was a tad bit g

This place has a lot of haters but i dont mind their dimsum coz its pretty decent and cheap. A rice bowl with spare ribs and chinese chorizo for $4.50 is my go to and the fried taro pastry is a must too. Usually with a side of xo sauce. And they are already open by 8:30 am which is good for people like me that starts work at 11am.

Surprisingly Good<br/ <br/ Went there for an early Dim Sum Lunch on Sunday.  Waited for a while to be seated.  20% off before 11:00 a.m.<br/ <br/ Ordered Steamed Shrimp Dumplings, Pan Fried Turnip Cake, Braised Beef Tripe, Steamed Rice Rolls w. Beef, Baked BBQ Pork Buns, Preserved Veggies Beef on Rice.   All of them were pretty good tasty but not salty and hot enough.  Service was attentive.  Nice environment (not too noisy).  Nice menu with good variety of choices.<br/ <br/ Recommended!

I love this restaurant. The food is amazing and the prices are fair. However, the chow mein is a little bland and could use some more flavor.
