Excellent Chinese food in a pleasant environment. Right across from the Regal theaters , it’s a good spot to grab some food or a drink before or after a film . Has a full bar with craft beers on tap. Staff is attentive and welcoming. My favorite is the fresh steamed dumplings.

Went there for lunch Friday at 1:00 pm. The place was empty and dead. Our food came up cold - they were all pre-packaged, even their wanton soup! Horrible experience and horrible food - will never go there again!

We loved the authentic Chinese cuisine and the polite service! The interior matches the theme perfectly.

Absolutely the worst most flavorless Chinese food we’ve ever had, and extremely overpriced, probably because it’s in a mall with high rent.

We were going to leave when we walked in for lunch as there was absolutely no one else in the place, we’re talking total ghost town. But someone we know recommended the fried rice and we were hungry so we stayed.

We are big fans of wonton soup, and theirs was so salty and unappealing, with no sesame flavor whatsoever, that we couldn’t even finish it. Sidenote: they delivered the soup without spoons, and we had to flag the waiter down to ask for them, which sent him into a tailspin and a lengthy search, which is bizarre.

The beef with broccoli was OK, but not worth the nearly $20 price tag. And the spring rolls were bland and not generously stuffed. Hot tea was served in a beer glass and our waiter did not speak much English, though he was polite.

The fried rice, the reason we decided to try the restaurant in the first place was good, but definitely not worth the nearly $20 price tag, and they were very stingy on the pork - tiny shards of it and very sparsely populated. Come to think of it, so are the vegetables.

I just don’t recommend this place.

Emperor Garden served up a feast that was both flavorful and generous 😋. Every dish came out piping hot, beautifully plated, and portioned to share—perfect for 2–3 people per plate 🍽️. The friendly service made the whole experience even better, turning a great meal into a great memory 💫.

We called ahead to confirm if they had Chinese BBQ that night, and they assured us they did. After driving 25 minutes to the restaurant, we were told the BBQ chef wasn’t there but would return “anytime.” We waited for an hour, but he never showed up. On top of that, the food was disappointing the shrimp wasn’t fresh, and overall the quality was poor. I can’t recommend this place, and honestly, I don’t think this restaurant will last long.
