I've lived in Chicago for over 70 years. The last time we visited Chinatown was over 10 years ago. We decided to check out Emperor"s choice restaurant on Wentworth/Cermak. The best decision ever. Hank was a awesome waitperson! He even brought out 5 different noodles for me to pick out the one I wanted. From drinks, appetizers, and main entrees, everything was delicious and worth the price which was quite reasonable. We'll be back!

Was a great time with friends…the food was great and the service was awesome 👍👍

If its empty, its because they serve you quick

This restaurant was so DEVINE! We were seated quick, got waters no less than 5 minutes after we sat down. (Which is huge for me because I’ve been to restaurants where they never give you water). The waitress and other staff members were constantly checking up on us. It was phenomenal.

The apps came out 10 minutes after we sat down and the food came out shortly after that. The food was so yummy and the egg rolls!!!!...read full review
