The Kangxi Imperial is a Chinese restaurant at 12-14 Vivian Road in Harborne, Birmingham. Its broad menu follows the journey of Chinese food in Britain, combining familiar Cantonese and Sichuan dishes with selected Thai, Japanese and Mongolian influences.
Starters include handmade steamed dim sum, pan-fried dumplings, aromatic duck, lettuce wraps, ribs and salt-and-pepper dishes. Sharing platters let a group sample several preparations, while vegetarian and vegan versions use vegetables, tofu and meat-free alternatives.
Main dishes cover chicken, duck, beef, pork, lamb, steak and seafood, with sauces ranging from sweet and sour or black bean to chilli-rich Sichuan recipes. Whole sea bass, mapo tofu, fried rice and noodles add further variety, and set menus assemble a balanced sequence for two people.
An eat-as-much-as-you-like table-service buffet is cooked to order, so dishes arrive from the kitchen rather than sitting on a communal hotplate. The restaurant also supports collection and delivery; guests with allergies should discuss ingredients carefully because peanuts, sesame, shellfish and other allergens appear across the extensive menu.
Address: 12-14 Vivian Road, Harborne, Birmingham B17 0DS, England
