About

Imperial China London, nestled in the heart of London’s bustling Chinatown, has been delighting diners since 1993. The restaurant is tucked behind a charming wooden bridge that leads to a serene courtyard adorned with a koi pond, creating a tranquil escape from the city’s energy. Inside, an elegant fusion of traditional Chinese imperial décor and modern comfort invites guests to experience the flavors of Cantonese cuisine, with a menu that showcases classic dim sum, authentic Chinese dishes, and innovative seasonal creations. From morning to evening, guests can relish freshly prepared dim sum until 5pm, while the main dishes are served all day. Imperial China offers a range of private dining rooms—eight spacious rooms that accommodate families, corporate events, and weddings—complete with karaoke for added fun. The restaurant’s attentive service and versatile menu make it a favorite for both casual diners and those seeking a memorable private gathering. Open daily from 12:00pm to 10:30pm (Mon–Thu), 12:00pm to 11:00pm (Fri–Sat), and 11:30am to 10:00pm (Sun), Imperial China provides a relaxed atmosphere for lunch and dinner, including delivery options via Uber Eats.
