    Sophia and I headed here for lunch last weekend. I came across this place years ago on Yelp but never had the time to try them out. They did close for a bit during the pandemic due to a staff shortage, but opened back up and haven't lost a beat. Local Yelpers have posted positive reviews on the food and service. Let's see how the visit went. We were immediately seated when we walked inside. They actually had a nice crowd inside which definitely had them busy. Since it's a dim sum restaurant, they came around several times offering small dishes. We declined until the very end and decided to order from their regular menu. My order was a cup of Egg Drop soup for appetizers and salted and spicy scallop, shrimp and squid. Everything was truly delicious. The soup was very hearty and full of flavor as expected. The seafood was fried perfectly and full of spices. The portion could've been a little more but nonetheless it was really good. To end our meal, we chose their shrimp balls off the dim sum plate. It was really good and flavorful. For our first time here, we were both impressed. Wonderful staff and food to back up the hype. The next time we stop by, it'll purely be items via dim sum :)

    If you've never been to dim sum before, read the menu before you go! They don't give you menus at the table. I went on a weekend so they came around with carts of various items and you ask for what you want. I had the menu pulled up on my phone so that I knew what I was looking for. Other than that, it was fast and friendly service and the food was amazing. A great quick lunch! Will return when I am more experienced.

    I had my doubts but I think I like the dumplings here better than the other place in town. The quality and freshness of the dumplings are apparent here, especially in the shrimp, pork/shrimp dumplings and the steamed sticky rice.

    BEST dim sum I have had outside of Chinatown. They do push cart dim sum on the weekends. Traditional dim sum dishes done exceptionally well. Their har gow and shumai are springy and packed with shrimp. The congee is flavorful and rich. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys dim sum or anyone looking to try for the first time. I will be returning! (If it were in the budget, I would go every weekend.)

    went to the dimsum cart for the first time! and it did not disapoint! they do their dimsum cart on the weekends from 12-3. we got there at 1230 and already had a 20/30 minute wait but it was highly worth it!! i love dimsum and i think this is by far the best dimsum places in virginia beach, it is a little unfortunate that they dont have soup dumps or rice rolls but other than that I will 100% go again and be a regular dimsum cart person! There are some people who speak little english when passing out the cart so its just a little fun bc you never know what you get! Hahah Good vibes & good foood :))

    I used to love this place back about 5-8 years ago before the renovation and revamp. Not sure if it was a management change but it definitely isn't the same. Service was terrible today, waited 30 minutes for Peking Duck (which should already be cooked, most chinese places have them ready and just need slicing). I ended up coming up to the cashier to just void the item since we were waiting for so long. One of the guys up front was mad at me about it but I've waited enough. The dimsum was okay, some of the items were even cold. This will definitely be the last time I'll be going here. I recommend trying out other Chinese places such as Guangdong Taste.

    Finally made it over to Jade Villa to experience a meal! We came for lunch and it was not busy at all - just a few other tables during our dining experience. Even so, the server seemed to be a bit overwhelmed and was struggling to keep up. We started with a few selections from the dim sum menu, which is really what excites me most about Jade Villa. The dumplings were all delicious, but the pork bun was very dry with close to no filling on the inside. As a heads up, not all of their dim sum is available all of the time. For the whole dim sum menu, you have to go on weekends early. We ordered Shrimp Egg Foo Young and Mongolian Beef as our entrees. The Mongolian Beef was delicious. Loved the veggies. The Egg Foo Young was also really good, but the gravy was unfortunately very watery and bland, so overall the dish was not our favorite.

    I love that the carts are back! They updated the dining room to look less dingy but they didn't increase the space to seat the mass crowds that convene at 12. Get in line early (11:30) to be seated in the first wave, otherwise, you'll be on a call back waitlist 45 mins later. Another option is to arrive after 1:30 on the weekend and there is less of a wait. Prices are reasonable but come to eat and share! You do have the opportunity to order mains off their menu if you would like. All the food tasted fresh and not overworked or overcooked. Service is quick - seems like there is a new batch of new servers and they seem more attentive than in the past - they do need a little more education on the dimsum served or offered, but we had a really pleasant experience.

    Nasty looking Salt and Pepper Shakers!

    Is dim sum everyday?

    It's available daily. But the dim sum experience with the pushcarts during lunch happens on the weekends only. Any other time, you can order it off the menu.

    Do they offer dim sum at night or only during lunch time?

    I believe they only do it Sunday mornings. Definitely not 24 hours

    Do you deliver?

    To my knowledge it's Carry out and I did see door dash.

    When do you serve the pineapple buns?Sunday morning?

    Saturday and Sunday afternoon

    My Husband's Food Review : Beef Mongolian Noodles -- 4/5…read more The noodles are freshly made with every order, and you can literally watch the man through the glass forming them by hand from the dough. The noodles were tender with a nice, bouncy texture. The sauce had a good balance of salty and sweet, and the beef was tender and flavorful. Jalapeño Chicken Noodles -- 5/5 The jalapeño peppers added a great crunch and paired really well with the texture of the noodles. The chicken was tender, and the sauce was light enough to let all the flavors come through. Definitely a favorite! Salt & Pepper Chicken Wings -- 5/5 The wings were cooked to perfection--crispy, crunchy, and well coated with seasoning. The crispiness paired really well with the overall dish, and every bite had great flavor. Beef Pancakes -- 2/5 This was basically like a hand-held burger stuffed inside crispy dough. The onions added a nice flavor to the beef, and the chili oil on the table paired really well with it. However, I think it would have been much better if the beef had been mixed with a sweet soy sauce for a little more flavor and balance.

The Imperial Palace was the perfect choice! The place was beautifully decorated and inviting, we loved the art and very authentic feel of it. Fell in love with the beautiful lamp in the main dining room! The staff were friendly and super responsive and helpful. Su took great care of us, explaining menu options and sharing with us that the restaurant has been there for thirty years and she has worked there for 20 of them. It had the feel of a great neighborhood restaurant! I had wonton soup and pork chow main. Everything tasted delicious with that great balance of fresh crunchy vegetables and flavorful ingredients customary of good Chinese food. Incredibly generous portions meant great left overs for tomorrow. We will definitely be back!

    Overall I would say not the best experience. First, the food was more of a take out Chinese style,…read morebut then was very pricey for what it is worth. We wanted to get the egg rolls as I was craving it, but they said they do not have it despite being on the menu. That was a little disappointing. I got the 6 steamed dumpling, and when my husband chewed down there was bone chunks in the dumpling. We got the sesame chicken which mostly tasted like orange chicken with a little more soy sauce and a little less orange. It was tasty, but again the price for what it was did not match. The honey roasted duck was tasty with a savory thick sauce to dip. We got white rice with our dishes. My husband asked for chopsticks, and there were none which was surprising. The fortune cookie at the end was stale, and my fortune was kind of a hilarious demand to be vegetarian/vegan. The service was decent. The ambiance lighting was very red in color, making it feel dark on the inside. It is awkwardly quiet with loud clinking. One of the light fixtures was broken. Overall, food was just okay, and the pricing did not feel appropriate for what was served.
