At a glance
Imperial Treasure Fine Chinese Cuisine is the Shanghai branch of the Imperial Treasure group, on the fourth floor of Yi Feng Galleria on East Beijing Road. The group was founded in 2004 and operates more than 20 restaurants across eight cities, working across Cantonese, Teochew and Huaiyang traditions. The Shanghai branch holds two MICHELIN stars.[1] [2]
Cooking & identity
The cooking is fine Chinese cuisine at group scale: Cantonese seafood and double-boiled soups, with the group’s broader Teochew and Huaiyang portfolio as context. The branch’s challenge is to keep the group standard while sounding like Shanghai.[1] [2]
The restaurant’s stated philosophy
Paraphrased from the restaurant, its group or a named chef’s statement.
The official group page describes Imperial Treasure as authentic fine Chinese cuisine, honouring Cantonese, Teochew and Huaiyang cooking in distinct settings and holding each to the same uncompromising standard since 2004.
The same page lists more than 20 restaurants in eight cities and more than 50 awards, including MICHELIN, Asia’s 50 Best and Black Pearl. The Shanghai branch’s two stars are part of that group record.

Independent observations
ChefsLanding · · Editorial commentary on the public record
A group with 20-plus restaurants and 50 awards can guarantee a standard; it can also smooth away the differences that make a branch interesting. The useful question is what Shanghai adds to the Cantonese, Teochew and Huaiyang brief.
We would follow the branch kitchen, not the group award count.
