Shortlisted this reataurant with fond memories of my wedding dinner held 10 yrs ago, with great Ala Carte meals and dimsum. However, yesterday's reunion dinner sets for 2 tables, 698 and 498, was a let down, way below what I can rate. Especially this 'Japanese Ayu fish. It was decorated with the poor fish being poked through the satay stick on the pineapple base, when I saw it for the first time, I was horrified ; as if this dish is served like joss stick for prayers! I was expecting a large fish in platter. Captain mentioned that they have done this for many years and there are no complaints from the customer? Seriously?
Then I tried the fish, and it was a let down, poked my mouth, have to be careful not to get injured with it, insides are soft, not crispy. I could get these in the morning market, a bunch of it, like mini ikan kembung or sorts like that.
Other dishes were not very memorable too, talking about the cheaper set meal having sharksfin and grouper fish when the more expensive set doesn't even have it. On the contrary, the 498 set is the more delicious one!
Service was poor, dishes were not promptly changed unless asked, teapot missing when being refilled, dessert came 30 mins after we chased the person in charge for couple of times!
Not sure what has happened, but for sure not returning again to this place again, unless I have run out of options to dine in. Utterly disappointed for the much anticipated reunion dinner for...
Read moreGrand Imperial restaurant needs no introduction as it has already established in Klang Valley for very long time. One of the popular group of restaurants together with Oriental Group, I would go to dine once in a while.
A lot of my friends told me that the restaurant in Bangsar Shopping Center (BSC) is the best among the rests. If you know the chef's or captains personally, sometimes they can create off-menu items specially for you. Otherwise just select from the thick menu book.
◾Pan fried iberico pork chop - purposely select this piece of meat to pair with my red wine which worked wonders. The meat had nicely charred edge while retaining its moist and tenderness. ◾roasted chicken - old school style with keropok on the side for the kids. Crispy skin and juicy meat were what I was looking for and they nailed it. ◾braised beancurd with black fungus & mushrooms - the young ones actually commented that the gravy was delicious when mixed with white rice. ◾Fried rice with egg & prawns had enough wok hei and essential flavour to keep me stealing spoon after spoon of it. ◾Desserts for those who have sweet tooth and they loved it!
Despite being packed, the captain tried his best to serve us...
Read morePlease share this 黑店! Not my first time visits the restaurant but it will be my LAST time. Terrible experience AND service sucks!! So this was my situation: The Grand Imperial manager mentioned this promotion to us, if we purchased the food amount of RM388 and pay by UOB we would be able to get the roast duck on the spot. So we specifically went through the bill to purposely order for the bill to be RM388 to pay with our UOB card but without knowingly The Captain half way throughout the food dishes coming out says that the duck is all gone Bad la bla bla bla and gives us a lot drama and a complimentary duck coupon to come back the next round. (SOUNDS LIKE A PLAN?) In the first place we were mislead by the managers statement and felt cheated as we would not have ordered so much instead then if it were not for the duck. This is very bad and if you continue to keep this kind of service up you may lose your customers in the future! I felt very disappointed with your services, and see how ppl review and rate...
