Imperial Lamian

What an amazing place, loved it. We were roaming around hubbard and found out this place, luckily we got the reservation ( since its pandemic time). They accomodated us very well, victor was very informative and kind. We had sapporo beer, Beef and chicken, smoky noodles ( lamian), chilli chicken , kung pao chicken and dumplings! Everything was just perfectly cooked and delicious. Definitely definitely recommend. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Great service & must try soup dumplings + everything else pictured in this post! The Szechuan dumplings were our favorite but definitely try the others. Wonton soup was good, the broth tasted similar to miso. Simple but hearty! Chicken Lamien, hot - fresh noodle, you could tell they were fresh and good quality! Crispy wontons were good, can’t say it was anything “special” but a good snack. London Duck—Crispy shredded duck, with cucumbers, and a stack of the wraps. It comes as a build your own wrap kind of dish. Highly recommend ordering chili’s/chili oil on the side if you like it spicy! Must try, definitely go visit!

So good I had to go back a second time in one trip! Very cool atmosphere. The rainbow soup dumplings (xiao long bao) are divine. Smaller than I expected, but excellent nonetheless. The golden sesame balls were delicious, as well. Can’t go wrong with any of their lamian options: the mix mushroom and beef & wonton lamian were both amazing. The chicken fried rice, however, was lacking in flavor—not my favorite. There are many standout dishes to try, and being that the fried rice was underwhelming, I would suggest exploring the other options.

Went to a yelp event at Imperial Lamian. This is their first restaurant in the US, and are actually from Jakarta Indonesia. Having never been there before, I looked forward to sampling some of the items that they offer. We feasted on pumpkin puffs, spring rolls, crispy shrimp wonton, and vegetable dumplings. As well as some really wonderful noodles and fried rice. I don't normally like anything pumpkin, but these Pumpkin puffs were really good. My favorites were the noodles and the crispy shrimp wonton. We also watched as they demonstrated how they actually pull the noodles, and were able to meet the owner and manager of Imperial Lamian. Unfortunately, I did not get to stay to try the deserts, but I am sure they were just as good as the other food. Although we didn't get to taste food from the regular menu, I did notice that the prices were at least double what you would pay in a normal Chinese restaurant.

In atmosphere. Warm welcoming. However our server quite judging. All people in my table are black hair. She ignored us always. I wanted to let her know that mama I live in Chicago. I work in Chicago. I also a server. So please don't judging us. I know how to tip. She stare at the wall while taking our orders. Meanwhile nice to all the less of the tables in her section. Busboy always there to make sure our table is well maintained. After tried to look at here and tried to sent signals to let her know we wanted her attention (hey not all Asian will wave at you. We live here. I serve in downtown too) Ended up missing 2 off our order and that was it. Manager helped us out. I saw her red eyes. Sorry girl, I felt bad but not so much. It's our job as a server to treat everyone equally.

I had a nice experience here last week. I came here on a Thursday evening around 7 and was seated without having a reservation. The atmosphere is nice- casual yet classy vibe with nice music and appropriate lighting. Our waiter was great - he was bale to recommend his favorites as well as the most popular dished on the menu. We ended up ordering the steamed buns, the xiao long bao sampler, and shrimp fried rice. All were great - would definitely come back!

I saw this place in a post on Eater and wanted to try it because of the colorful soup dumplings and unique desserts. I was worried that it might not live up to the hype, but it was incredible! The different flavors of the soup dumplings were all delicious (spicy, cheese, truffle, crab, pork, and duck), and the Jasmine tea ribs were tender with a great texture, but had a unique smoky flavor that I'm not used to. We ordered the lotus blossom for dessert and were treated to a nice show. The dessert itself was so satisfying, I definitely could have had another one. Im so happy with my experience here!

What a fantastic spot for dim sum! We stopped in Monday for lunch and were treated to stellar food and service. We were a party of 3 seated right away (no wait) and our server immediately greeted us with waters. She explained the menu and how things worked. We ended up ordering 4 different dumplings and 4 other dim sums of all different varieties including mushroom, gruyere, truffle (like real truffle not truffle oil truffle), szechuan, bao, etc. Basically 4 different dumplings and 4 different dim sums. Everything was amazing though the truffle dumplings were my favorite. I will be back to try other things too!!

Delicious food and great decor. I do wish they'd upgrade their dishware because that felt too cheap compared to the quality of their food. The egg custard buns and soup dumplings were absolutely perfect. We also saw a chef give a small child noodle dough so they could mime pulling noodles while he pulled noodles actually. It gave me a warm feeling.
