This is by far the most authentic Chinese restaurant we’ve visited since moving to Charlotte two years ago. Most places we’ve tried have been more Americanized — delicious, but not quite like home. This one, however, truly stands out for its authenticity! It’s definitely going to be part of our regular family dinner rotation.
The customer service is outstanding, the dishes are perfectly seasoned with generous portions, and the prices are very reasonable. I especially appreciate the thought and care the owner has put into the décor — from the beautiful artwork on the walls to the lush live plants that make the space feel so welcoming.
Thank you for such a wonderful dining experience. We’ll definitely be back and will be recommending this gem to our friends. Keep up the amazing work!

Amazing! Wish they kept the name SIZZLE, but the food and the atmosphere are way better than the other spot. The menu is extensive with both China/American and more destination origin dishes like pig intestine and ect. We ordered tons of everything and it was great! The timing is better aswell here, with food coming out quickly and together. Definitely a place you can come back to multiple times to try something new each time. All the dishes were hot to temp, savory and delicious! The prices are astronomically great for the CLT area. The portions are larger than take out and cheaper, but the quality is 1000% fold better. This place could easily be in NYC/San-Fran or Boston china town and be a local heavy establishment! On your way IN OR OUT say hello to the ladies making the dumpling/DimSum and noodles behind the counter!

Appetizers
The spicy wontons were a standout dish with a bold, well-balanced flavor profile and just the right amount of heat. Easily one of the highlights of the meal. The pork soup dumplings and king shrimp siu mai arrived warm and were both very enjoyable, with good texture and flavor.
Soups
We ordered the hot and sour soup, and the portion size was definitely family-style. It was hearty, comforting, and perfect for sharing.
Mains
The Chongqing-style fried diced chicken was another dish we enjoyed; crispy, flavorful, and satisfying. The beef chow fun was delicious, well-executed, and full of savory flavor. The braised pork belly in clay pot was tender and rich, though the garlic was a bit overwhelming and could be toned down for better balance. Unfortunately, the short ribs were a letdown. The quality of the meat was questionable, and we had to send the dish back, which put a bit of a damper on an otherwise strong meal.
Service
Service was attentive and understanding throughout, especially when addressing the issue with the short ribs. It was a busy evening so the dishes did take quite some time to come out.
⭐ Overall Rating: (3.8/5)
The atmosphere at The Imperial Treasure is warm and inviting. You’re welcomed by an open kitchen where you can see dumplings being made, which adds to the experience. The menu is well thought out with plenty of pictures. While the misstep with the short rib dish held it back, it is reminiscent of a home-style, authentic kitchen.

We tried Imperial Treasure in Matthews and most of the meal was truly phenomenal. The rainbow dumplings were beautifully made and packed with flavor, the pork and crab soup dumplings were outstanding, the beef short ribs were incredibly tender, and the pork pot stickers were excellent as well. The thousand layer crispy beef dish was also very tasty.
The only item we didn’t enjoy was the duck egg yolk pumpkin dish — it had a very strong egg aroma and was a bit off-putting compared to everything else we tried. They offered to remove the item from the bill without us asking when it was barely touched and moved to the side.
Overall, though, the food quality and execution were top-tier, and we’ll definitely be back to explore more of the menu.

I am soooo glad I gave this restaurant a second chance.Thefirst time I went it was on a Monday and the food took a long time to come out. This time I took my mom there and the food was absolutely delicious. The food did not take long to come out. Our server Ying was the best. She often checked up on mom and I. Great customer service!!! My mom ordered sesame chicken and it was delicious. I had braised tofu and vegetables. They also have the best pork soup dumplings. The dumplings were big and the porks inside were juicy and delicious. I have to say they have the best Chinese food in Charlotte and I have been in Charlotte like a dinosaur since the late 80s. This place got my mom’s approval and I am planning to take my dad there soon. He is a former chef ,and I believe he will love this place. Thank you Imperial Treasure for bringing authentic Chinese food to Charlotte. Also thank you Ying for your excellent customer service. You bring a lot of smiles to customers. If you haven’t been to this restaurant please give them a try.

This is a very authentic Cantonese cha chaan teng in Charlotte. The flavors are exactly what you would expect from a traditional Hong Kong–style café, and the overall operation and dining style follow the classic dim sum experience.
The service here is truly exceptional. Every staff member pays close attention to each table, and any request we made was handled immediately. Empty plates never stayed on the table for more than a minute, which made the whole dining experience feel very smooth and comfortable.
The only regret is that there were just two of us this time, so we didn’t get the chance to try more dishes. We’ll definitely be back with a bigger group next time to explore more of the menu.
Highly recommend if you’re looking for authentic Cantonese dim sum in Charlotte!

Pretty tasty dim sum. Crab Rangoon was good, cooked perfectly, right mixture. The green beans we ordered non spicy, large portion but good. Egg tarts were available so that made me happy. Thicker than I’m used to but great flake on the crust, and custard was decent. The Black Golden Lava Custard buns were pretty! Tasted a bit lemon on the custard, a little gritty but over all pretty good. Spicy wontons were fairly spicy but mostly chili oil spice.

Good dim sum and great entrees with a mix of plenty of traditional dishes with some less-traditional / more American style. Been 3 times so far and the service was great! Will be back to keep trying the menu

Imperial Treasure was fine, but honestly underwhelming—especially for the price and reputation. It’s definitely on the expensive side, and most of the food landed squarely in the “mediocre” category for me.
We ordered shrimp rice rolls, which somehow had zero flavor. Like… none at all. We also ordered white rice with one of our entrées, which they forgot to include, along with any utensils or condiments. Unfortunately, we didn’t realize until we got home—25 minutes away. I called, not really concerned about the $2 for the rice, but the response was pretty indifferent: “You can come back and I’ll give you the cash.” Not worth the gas, and not great customer service.
It was New Year’s Day, so we ordered early. We were told 30 minutes, but it took almost an hour—and there was no one dining in at the time, which made the wait even more confusing.
I grew up spoiled rotten in New York City, a 10-minute walk from Chinatown, so my expectations might be high—but when locals say this is the best Chinese food in Charlotte, I was expecting more. Maybe for a Charlotte palate it hits, but for me it missed. The sesame chicken was overly sweet and soggy, and the honey walnut shrimp (a hefty $27) was gummy and disappointing.
The one standout was the pork soup dumplings—they were genuinely good and the best thing we ordered.
Overall, it wasn’t terrible, but between the prices, food quality, wait time, and service, it’s not a place I’d return to.

Was a bit underwhelming after the raving reviews. Best thing I tried was the spicy wontons and shrimp siu mai. The pork soup dumplings were okay but were a bit lukewarm when served which was a downer. Friends that ordered the sesame and orange chicken weren’t very impressed either. The staff was friendly and attentive.
