The food was delicious with a good variety to choose from. The staff were all very friendly and service was excellent. Food arrived very quickly each time we ordered. A little expensive but thoroughly enjoyed our visit.

My partner took me here and we had a very nice meal. The food was all tasty and cooked fresh for our order. The service was really friendly and relaxed and we were not made to feel like we should not order more food. The starters we had were nice, but give the chicken satay a miss as it wasn’t super flavourful. The crispy seaweed is good. Wonton soup good. Pakchoi was nice and I had it with rice and a beef dish which was good. Then had desserts which were also yummy. I had a nice meal, thought food and service was good and I would go back. I have seen some negative reviews and do in a way agree the price point is quite high for buffet, but I thought the quality was definitely better than a buffet and it’s nice to be able to choose exactly what you want.

Absolutely amazing! The spining table was a winner! We had the buffet menu, I think it's portions we're very good, better to order small quantities and if you want more they will give you more instead of ordering loads and then food will go to waste or pay 6 and you can take it away. The service was phenomenal I cannot applaud the man that served us tonight he is a STAR. One of the lady's was very unfriendly and seemed very angry, however this man's politelyness and friendliness made us forget about her. I really do believe it's price fairly, for the food you get, usually seafood is expensive and you can have as much as you like. The food was very taste tasty too. The sizzling dishes is an awesome experience. Thankyou Emperor.

My favourite Chinese, online booking had made an error and overbooked tonight, but the staff managed to accommodate us, despite being fully booked! Food yummy as always, great atmosphere, busy as always. Thanks for a great dinner :) and thanks for finding us a table :)

Lovely buffet food, they only put a small, but healthy amount of food out at a time so the food is always fresh when you go to take it, would defintely recommend the Sunday lunch buffet, the evening buffet is great too where you order by the plate, but more expensive than the buffet but both is all you can eat!!! Great food, great atmosphere

This restaurant is dear to my heart, I went again in memory of my friend who passed away. The atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and friendly. The service was great, and the food was amazing . I introduced another friend as my friend had introduced me. We both had good, memorable evening
