For the price, this restaurant is not worth it. Artificial crab and overcooked chicken. Your money is better spent elsewhere. There are a lot of Chinese restaurants that charge less for the same ingredients. There are a lot of Chinese restaurants that charge more for better ingredients (specifically REAL crab). I will never recommend this restaurant nor will I ever order from here again. Definitely below average.

This was a decent place, but in the last few months it was not the same. The food became tasteless, and also the portions are way smaller then they used to be. Last month i personally witnessed that some of the food we ordered on the phone was warmed up in microwave by one of the staff members. Not coming back again.

This is a little takeout restaurant and they have the absolute best fried rice and egg rolls in Chicago land! I haven't had a Main dish that I didn't like and I've been coming here for over 20 years. Believe me, I've tried every Chinese restaurant 20 mi around.

the absolute worse!simple beef chop suey , the beef, (if it actually was beef), was fatty and VERY tough!We brought it back and they actually argued and disagreed.we've ate here before and it wasn't bad, not great but not bad.if they don't clean up their act soon i don't expect to see them around very much longer. We let them keep the order, never got a penny back.

Food used to be ok but the past couple of years it’s awful. The chicken is always hard and sometimes burnt. This is also the second time we ordered a shrimp dish and they replaced with chicken without asking. Never again will we order from this place, I’ve tried giving them chances but no more!

The Crab Rangoons thats all I have to say!! They are surprisingly decent on prices and pretty fast. I did recently discover the Veggie lo mien and literally thats a meal on its own. Great place but its pick up only.

We have ordered from Emperors Kitchen many times throughout the years. The chicken was always tender and the food always tasted fresh. We ordered this weekend and the food was horrible. Sesame chicken had a different sauce and the chicken quality was bad. The orange chicken also had a different sauce, and the chicken was dry. Even the rice was bad. The rice had more of a minute made texture, not your typical sticky rice.

Supremely mediocre Chinese food. I tried the chef's special Emperor's Chicken. Although the sauce was decent, the chicken was way over-battered. I wish it came with a greater variety of vegetables as well. My fruitless search for great Chinese food in the Chicago suburbs goes on...
TERRIBLE !!!! Take Out Yesterday $30 WASTED. RICE WAS COLD LIKE OUT OF REFRIGERATOR. EGG FU YUNG LUKE WARM. This is the VERY FIRST BAD REVIEW I HAVE EVER POSTED. EMPERORS KITCHEN WAS A VERY BAD EXPERIENCE & VERY DISAPPOINTING. & DO NOT GET THE CASHEW BEEF, WAS BARELY WARM & BEEF WAS POOR QUALITY. NEVER GOING BACK THERE AGAIN FOR SURE!!!!

Ordered sweat and sour chicken. The chicken was old. No tomato's. Fried rice so bland. Egg roll you could smell the oil. Just not good food. Ended up throwing it away. Never again.
