We came in about a half hour before closing. We were going to do takeout but decided to stay. No flare place as far as ambiance. They saved all the flare for the food, because it was absolutely delicious!!! Extremely fresh, super large portions, well priced, even the egg drop soup was delicious. Our
I haven't been here in a minute, and I was reminded about what a hidden gem this is! They offer fresh, made daily dim sum at a fair price. The portions are generous as well. The service is friendly and fast. The decor is understated, but the food is the star. I understand that some of the dim sum of
Very nice Chinese food,I love it!!!🥰They have great service, a clean restaurant, and as far as I know their food is very fresh.
My family has been going to Imperial Mandarin since the 80s! We love the food and atmosphere and we have celebrated so many major family events here! I have to recommend the Sizzling Rice Soup as it’s a classic.

Imperial Mandarin has been a staple in my household in our rotation for Chinese dinners, almost always exclusively take-out. The interior is definitely dated and quite frankly dirty, but that’s part of the charm of eating at a cultural landmark. Service
Love that Mushu!
Started with the Hot and Sour Soup and Spring Rolls, yum!! The soup was thick and full of flavor. The spring rolls were hot and crispy on the outside and a little mushy on the inside.
I ordered the Mushu Pork and Beef Chow Mein to split. The Beef Chow Mein was good; the beef was t
Imperial Mandarin is the best Dim-Sum in the San Diego area. They are not currently using carts but the service is very fast and helpful. A picture menu for us old white guys would be a nice addition. Prices are reasonable and food very fresh.
authentic chinese food. our party of 6 got the family meal for 5 and added the peking duck, cooked 2 ways. everything was delicious but the pork spareribs and duck were the best
Wasn’t that early in the morning, almost noon. Only one old lady staff, eating her first meal in the back while serving food to two or three tables with takeouts.
I wouldn’t say excellent service but overall some great and somewhat authentic food,
Personally love and tried a lot of authentic Canton
Good Hot and Sour soup. Also had Beef chow mein and Moo Shi Pork which was delicious. First time ever to have server offer to wrap the Moo Shi for us, plus brought extra plum sauce. Was definitely a plus and appreciated. Loved the flavor of their tea as well. Service was fast and efficient.
I love this place! Best chinese restaurant I’ve ever tried. I’ve been going to this place since I was very young. My parents like going here on the weekends. We’ve been going to this restaurant so much that the waitress who takes are order knows it by heart. 😅
Pretty good dim sum place, actually. Old school push carts and no wait at 11:30 am on a Sunday. Out of all the dim sum places I've been in San Diego, and I've been to quite a lot, I'd recommend this place for taste and price. Pictures included as well as receipt. Which by the way is counted by th
Excellent dim sum. My friend also ordered the salty fish fried rice, which lived up to its name. It was was way too salty.
Love Chinese food, you will love this 30 year old family restaurant. Here's a clue, full of Chinese folks. There's a reason. Good people and good value, great food. I will be back.
This is my mom and dad's "go to" place to treat the whole family, for 15+ years, after Mass on Sunday's. The food is very good and reasonable. They always have lunchtime dim sum on Sunday's, but come early because it gets crowded. You can still order off the menu though. Our kiddos always like the I
Went there with my family and my in-laws that are Chinese and it was a great experience. We sat in that exact corner table that are in most of the photos shown. It was easy to entertain my kids there and keep them in that corner so that they did not bother any other tables. My kids are very young. T
