Chinatown Dim Sum Specialist Impérial is Relocating to Brossard | Eater Montreal

"Located on the sixth floor of St-Laurent Street’s Swatow Plaza, Impérial is a three-year-old dim sum specialist whose spacious banquet hall has long been a place to polish off dish after dish of steamed shrimp dumplings, barbecue pork buns, and plenty of other dim sum. I report that owners Josh Hsieh and Kyle Cheung were told in July they must vacate because the building is being redeveloped for condos, but the landlord later revised the timeline so the Chinatown location can remain open until at least the end of November and potentially through the holidays. It’s a popular Chinatown spot facing the sort of displacement that has alarmed community members and activists as the neighbourhood undergoes gentrification." - Valerie Silva
