I was searching for a Chinese restaurant to try and read some of your reviews. I hope the owner/manager is reading them! There are a number of comments (recent) about a waitress who adds extra charges and several stating a waitress tried to bully them into giving a larger tip. I won't be dining there! This is hurting your business. Also numerous comments about decline in food quality from previously being top quality! As well as many positive reviews. I wonder if it depends which chef is in the kitchen. These negative reviews certainly affected my decision to not dine there.

When we first walked in my significant other and I wondered why there were so few people in the restaurant, sadly we learned why…
Food 4/5: the portion size and quality of food was amazing. Huge portions, flavorful food and great prices.
Service 0/5 (google makes me select at least one star): Initially the service was good. Sadly at the end of our meal when signing the bill and tipping, the waitress brought over the bill and attempted to bully me into tipping a much higher amount. This interaction took me completely by surprise and was highly inappropriate!
After looking at reviews of this restaurant, it appears that this same waitress regularly does this and worse. This interaction completely ruined our experience, enough so that I called my bank to have the transaction monitored. We will not be back and we hope this review cautions others to beware of this lady.

Came here with a friend for last minute dinner plans and I've now found my favorite Chinese spot! The food was amazing, we ordered the sweet and sour chicken, orange peel chicken, and the pecking duck fried spring role and everything tasted amazing. The service was awesome and they were so sweet! The food came out super fast and the rice that came with was genuinely cooked perfectly. When we asked for to go boxes our waitress even packed one with more rice because she noticed we only had enough left for one person. The ambiance and decor was really cool and gave us a great dining experience. I genuinely loved the food. 10/10 would come again!!

Incredible sizzling chicken soup, sesame chicken and vegetable fried rice!! We have been regular customers for many years, fresh quality ingredients and kind owners. Thank you!
Emperor Of China is a staple to the Brady Street community, and they deliver stellar dishes of traditional Chinese flavors that capture the epic culinary talents of Chinese cuisine, and these essential flavors come from oil, sauces, and spices. EOC offers boils, which holds amazing and exotic flavors from oils, and they offer huge portions of traditional Chinese-American dishes. Be prepared to ask for a box to take home! This place is perfect for lunch, and it's commonly quiet, and the decor is very captivating. That is, huge Chinese vases, dark carpets, traditional Chinese dividers, and small, mahogany-colored tables are the immediate eye-catchers. And stucco-style walls are illuminated by low-light fixtures - it's a beautiful sight! Great service and the business serves the community very well! Not to mention, EOC is one of the best Chinese restaurants in the city!

I’m wondering if they have new owners because this was the spot on the east side for a very long time for Chinese food. $75 later and I will never return. Everything was bland. Zero flavor and the sweet and sour was jelly. You used to be able to tell it was homemade with fresh green pepper, onion and pineapple… this was not homemade. It was fake.

this was once one of the best in MKE, even during/after covid. The chicken appears to be different (ribbed). The chicken was not at all like it used to be.

The meat was tender and good I would definitely go back
Wonderful birthday lunch for our elderly mom. Very flexible with accomodating some dietary restrictions. Our very sweet server made a big show with a free ice cream dessert for her and a candelabra on the table with 3 candles for mom to blow out.

This place used to be the best but I got the absolute worst chicken I've ever had from there. Never again.
