General Info
Tucked inside Transmart Padang, Imperial Kitchen & Dimsum offers a relaxed spot to enjoy authentic dim sum with a modern touch. The location is easy to find, especially if you’re already exploring the mall, and the overall vibe feels cozy enough for a casual meal while still being welcoming for tourists and families.
From the moment I sat down, the menu stood out with its variety. The Siew Mai Rumput Laut quickly became a favorite-soft, juicy, and wrapped with a hint of seaweed flavor that adds a subtle twist. Then there’s the Bakpao Telur Asin Dan Fong Zau, which delivers that rich salted egg filling balanced with fluffy steamed buns. Each bite feels thoughtfully prepared, not rushed, which makes the dining experience more satisfying.
For something refreshing, the drinks menu doesn’t disappoint. The Es Salju Mangga Melon is especially memorable-light, fruity, and perfect for cooling down after a few savory dishes. Meanwhile, the Green Tea Cup brings a gentle bitterness that pairs well with the richer items on the table. It’s the kind of balance you appreciate when trying multiple dishes in one sitting.
If you’re craving something more filling, the Nasi Goreng Yang Chow is a solid choice. It’s flavorful without being overwhelming, with a nice mix of textures that keeps every spoonful interesting. This dish adds a comforting, familiar option alongside the dim sum specialties, making the menu feel more complete.
Service-wise, the restaurant makes things easy. It’s designed for dine-in, and the staff keeps things moving smoothly without being intrusive. The place is also good for kids, which makes it ideal for family outings. Plus, the ability to pay with credit cards adds convenience, especially for visitors.
What stands out most is how the entire experience feels approachable. Whether you’re stopping by for a quick snack or planning a longer meal, Imperial Kitchen & Dimsum manages to create a comfortable dining space with a menu that keeps you curious and satisfied at the same time.
