Imperial Beijing Chinese Restaurant on NO 3 in Richmond next to Staples.

Wanted to eat Peking Duck and this place was decently reviewed and prices reasonable.

Ordered: Peking duck, duck lettuce wrap, pea tips in superior broth and honey garlic spareribs

Pros:
- Peking duck was alright. Skin crispy
- Price reasonable and reflects portion size and rating/grade of restaurant
- Pea tips was very tender but broth was quite salty

Cons:
- Duck lettuce wrap had this funky 5 spice taste (too much used - I assumed to cover up the wrap the duck was old
- Ordered Honey Garlic Spareribs and was given Honey Garlic Porkchops. Pulled the waitress and ask what this is and her response "This is how we make it here". Did not appreciate this bait and switch. See attached picture cause apparently spareribs are suppose to be homogeneous porkchops....!

- Service was shit. Waitress just throw the dish down on your table and runs away. They did the same with the other table too when a customer asked if there was egg in their fried rice.
- Seated in the worst part of the restaurant possible. Walked in without reservation at 5:30pm Friday and seated in their overfill storage room. Sad note was that the same table I was eying on was still free and open by the time I left at 6:45pm. Restaurant was at most 75% full.....

Overall rating: 2/5. I ate here for dimsum and for dinner and unfortunately I will never return again due to the questionable service and the bait and switch (ordered honey garlic spareribs but was given honey garlic porkchops)
