I wouldn't call this place old fashioned or quaint. I call it grim. It's like a place from the 60's has survived until now without so much as a new coat of paint or a good cleaning. I went to take a friend for his birthday lunch. It's his favorite place. I don't understand why. I don't eat sushi, so I can't speak to that, but most of the rest of the food looked mostly inedible. I did eat, and I didn't get sick, surprise surprise. Next year he had better choose another place, or I will for him. After reading the more recent reviews I can see that nothing has changed, and I mean nothing. How do they keep their health department rating?

I was VERY disappointed to get there and find out they do NOT serve crab legs anymore. And not even 15 minutes after we got there, a nice gentleman and his daughter were sat in the booth behind us and he ALSO came strictly for the crab legs. So it’s not just me being silly or something. The food itself otherwise…eh. I liked the fried rice and orange chicken but I also left the restaurant feeling sick to my stomach. I won’t be returning. Also, $25 person(adult) and if u don’t SPECIFY u have a child with u even if they can clearly see the child, they charge the adult price for the kid whereas the kids price is $10

I have not been to the emperor's buffet for a while and was unpleasantly surprised to see how much it has changed and not in a good way. I was embarrassed to throw away practically a plate of food because I just could not eat it I don't know what has changed but I would not recommend by any means.

Emperor buffet. One would think with that name the food is made for an emperor. Which means the best of the best. Far from true. Besides the GMO fruit and vegetable options you get below average taste quality and variety. Literally I was very disappointed the first time here. I will go on another day and try it again to make sure I just didn't have a bad taste in my mouth. Literally the staff is walking around joking with each other smiling and laughing and when they come to the table all you get is a frowny face and when you ask for something you don't get a smile I mean literally horrible horrible service from staff. And when I paid at a registered up front the man with the small belly Asian guy just looked at me no smile no thank you no nothing I mean it was unbelievably rude in there. And is it is also not a seafood buffet. There is a few seafood items that every other Chinese restaurant has but nothing fresh and completely over or undercooked. I have no hate or dislike towards any restaurant I solely write my reviews to show visitors what you really get before you go. By far this was the worst Chinese seafood buffet that I have ever been to you better save your time and money and go somewhere else. There was this young Asian looking waitress she was pretty awesome she came to the table after we were almost done and she had a smile she was joking and she got us everything we needed right away. All the other stuff should seek employment somewhere else because theye not meant for this kind of stuff. We paid over $25 per person. This is ridicules. 30 minutes down the road you can get better. Much better for $16. Stay away...I warned you.
Service is great but it is very pricey. A family of 4 is about 130 dollars

Tried out Empire Buffet today, and let’s just say… I should’ve grabbed my family and ran the second I saw the bathroom. 🤢 If that was any sign of the kitchen, yikes!! I tried to power through and eat, but I was already grossed out.
The boys didn’t enjoy the food either, and they were starving. It was their first meal of the day, and it was already 2pm. That should tell you everything!! Definitely not recommending this place. Big nope from us! 🚫🍽️

Visiting from out of state… stopped in with family. Service was terrible. We had to ask for drinks… ask for tools to open crab, and every request was met with poor attitude. Don’t leave your plate to get a fork—- they will take it. They started sweeping around our table while we ate and then took the tip from the table before we even finished… the food??? Stick to the grill. The buffet is sub par, and the endless seafood— dry and nasty. 5 adults… $160. Choose a different place for dinner.
