About this space

East Imperial is an elegant Chinese restaurant defined by a formal dining room centred on antique furnishings and a traditional table-service layout.

Design: The dining rooms are long and narrow with polished timber floors and large windows that admit natural light. The room pairs white-linen tables and dark-wood chairs with simple pendant lights for a tidy, formal appearance.

Features: The venue provides full table service and an in-house drinks offering including wine and spirits. The venue includes Wi‑Fi, air conditioning and a PA system suitable for announcements or background music. The venue is wheelchair accessible and has accessible toilets.

Ideal for: Groups seeking a formal, restaurant-style sit-down meal and conversational, table-service dining rather than a casual standing reception.

What sets it apart: A daily yum cha service runs on-site, supplying dim sum service throughout the day.

What guests say: The restaurant delivers attentive, accommodating front-of-house service and reliably generous portions. The dining rooms present a formal, well-maintained setting appreciated by repeat visitors.
