The Imperial Treasure宝藏: Dim Sum & Authentic Chinese Cuisine

We've been holding off on going here due to mix reviews and the distance from our home. However a couple of weeks ago we were in the area and decided to finally give it a try for lunch. We got seated quickly and received great service from our waiter. I was surprised at their limited dim sum menu selection. All the food we ordered was fresh and full of flavor. We will definitely go there again when we're in the are and looking for an option to eat.

The food here was absolutely phenomenal! We were craving good Chinese food last night and decided to dine in. We started with three appetizers—lamb skewers, fried pork bao buns, and fried beef dumplings—all of which were delicious. Then came the entrees: mapo tofu, chicken rice noodles, salt and pepper fish, orange chicken, and pork belly. Every dish was packed with flavor, making this one of the best meals I’ve had in a long time. The menu itself was impressive, with almost every dish featuring a picture and an abundance of options to choose from. Even the smallest details, from the branded cups and plates to the chopsticks, were beautifully intentional. Everything was wonderfully prepared, and my family and I will definitely be back to try more!

Great experience🥰 everything we had was delicious. Favorites were the sweet and sour chicken and the dumplings. You must end your dinner with the golden lava buns, they are so good! Only complaint is the rainbow dumplings didn’t match up with the key on the menu, which I feel is problematic😅 I don’t eat seafood so I had to have others try them all first to make sure I didn’t get the shrimp one. Our server liv was very nice and helpful 😊 will be back soon!

Tuesday night so the drink special was Buy One Get One Beers so I had two Modelo’s for $6. We had the Spicy Shrimp and Chicken Dumplings and the Pork Soup Dumplings for an appetizer. Both were very good. We then split the Beef with Cumin and the Sizzling House Lo Mein. The Beef with Cumin was the best, a little spicy but so much flavor. The Lo Mein was good and a very large portion. In Matthews this is the best Chinese food.

We have been to this restaurant twice. The first time was when they just opened. Foods were authentic and delicious. The interior is very beautifully decorated in traditional Chinese decor which gives it a China town vibe that is much needed here in Matthews. The service was really slow the first time we went. We went back a second time for lunch on a Saturday and we are so happy that we gave this restaurant a second chance. Service was much improved. Our server Tom was attentive and friendly. Our foods came out faster than last visit and I was super happy to get to try pork congee with century egg, my china town comfort food. Matthews is lucky to finally have authentic Chinese dim sum restaurant.

Had a great experience with dim sum here last weekend. We had Tom as our server. He was awesome. We tried a bunch of entrees, like fried fish, Singapore noodles, shrimp dumplings and chicken ho fun. Loved every bite. Thanks for opening a dim sum restaurant closer to the suburbs. We like the ones uptown, but this is so much more conventient and delicious!

Outstanding Dim Sum and Exceptional Service! I had a wonderful dining experience at Imperial Treasure! The food was top-notch—every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. We had Mapo tofu, braised pork belly, pineapple shrimp, and they were all delicious. Portions were enough to feed two or three people. The menu offers an incredible selection. What made the experience even better was the outstanding service from Matteo. He was incredibly attentive, knowledgeable, and friendly, making sure we had everything we needed. His recommendations were spot on, and he made us feel so welcome.

Wonderful food. Clean and peaceful atmosphere. Phenomenal service. Having been to dim sum places in the largest cities in the country and in places all around Asia, it is important to have 3 things: great presentation, great flavor and the food has to be hot. In Charlotte, there used to be a dim sum place near Briar Creek that was wonderful until COVID when they closed. Until now, the places that have tried to bring it back have fallen short. Until now. They have amazing dim sum and menu items. The dishes are very delicious and the fish presentation is fantastic. Our waiter was Tom Cheng who happens to work on weekend and is a great resource for questions and dietary assistance. Go see Tom, you won't be disappointed!
