North Carolina Charlotte Food Review: Hidden Gem Alert! 💎

Imperial Treasures just had its soft opening this past Tuesday—and we were so eager, we showed up before they even opened this morning! 🕒 This spot is an upgrade from Sizzle Restaurant—spacious, elegant, and full of classic Chinese charm ✨. Plus, there’s a glass window by the entrance where you can watch staff hand-make dim sum fresh—no frozen stuff here! 🥟 Must-Try Bites Lobster Noodle 🦐: On promotion for only $10! Basically every table ordered it—rich, savory, and totally reminded me of ginger-scallion lobster back home in China. Char Siu Cheong Fun 🍜: Delicious flavor, but the rice noodle skin was a bit thick. Xiao Long Bao 🥟: Juicy and flavorful—classic soup dumplings done right. Steamed Shrimp Dumplings (Ha gow) 🦐: Tasty, but the wrapper broke when I picked it up (oops!). Still, the shrimp inside was fresh! Shao Mai 🥢: Fresh and delicious—loved the tender filling. Char Siu Bao & Sticky Rice Chicken 🍚: Both solid—sweet-savory and hearty Stir-Fried Kale 🥬: Perfectly seasoned, crispy, and refreshing—great veggie side. Bonus: Their chili oil is amazing—I even took a small container to go! 🌶️ Service was top-notch too—the girl who helped us was super friendly and attentive 😊. Four of us ate for $100 + $20 tip—total steal in this inflation era! 💰 📍 1826 Windsor Square Dr, Matthews, NC 28105 #FoodReview #USA #CharlotteNCFood #CharlotteNC #DimSum #AmericanChineseFood #CharlotteChineseFood #NCEats #FoodieHeaven #Yummy #FoodieAdventures #NorthCarolina #CharlotteTravel #CharlotteEats
