Excellent food, as always, from The Emperor!

Food was DELIOUS. VERY TASTY, FULL OF FLAVOUR. COMPLIMENTS TO THE CHEF & DELIVERY WAS EXCELLENT

It was a busy evening but the order was delivered earlier than expected and very delicious

Absolutely delicious, will definitely order again.

Amazing food very happy will order again 10/10

Great for a local Chinese, in my opinion it’s better to eat in rather than have take out but definitely satisfys the cravings! Staff and service was great, just thought it was a lot pricier than I’d expect to spend on a Chinese

The Singapore fried rice was nothing like we've ordered before. It did not taste like it should and may have been a wrong item delivered, as it was very bland and did not have the same ingredients

Saw a number of recommendations for this place, and it didn't disappoint. More expensive than others but worth it.

i wouldn’t recommend. while the food wasn’t bad, the waiter, upon being told that i was a vegetarian and would want a separate plate to the rest of my party, went on a ten minute tangent about how i don’t ‘fit the profile’ of a vegetarian. this is because ‘vegetarians are usually slim, and you are not’. he then went on to reiterate this a few more times in different ways, laughing despite the rest of our table was silent. as somebody who has suffered with multiple mental illnesses, including bulimia and body dysmorphia, this really made the rest of the meal very difficult to enjoy. i know i cannot expect the waiter to know my medical history, but that is the exact reason you do not say things like this. my father in law’s birthday meal, which he paid a lot of money for, was then clouded with an air of awkwardness that continued throughout the entirety of the meal. EDIT- my mother in law requested an urgent call from the owner of the restaurant regarding the situation. he was very apologetic, offered multiple avenues of reparation and assured us the issue would be dealt with internally. he also offered us a free meal, which we declined as we didn’t feel it was necessary - so we settled on them sending a sum of money to a charity of our choice. so, while it’s a shame that it happened, it was dealt with in a mature, understanding way and i don’t think it’ll stop us from returning in the future.

Spare ribs and chicken were not good. Had to throw the ribs away. Usually the quality is good but not this time. disappointed

Always an amazing Chinese from The Emperor, thank you!

Lovely food & great service! Will be ordering again :-)

It was nice but reading the reviews I had high expectation. The mixed starter was really nice but the mains less so. Nice. Not amazing.

the sweet and sour sauce was disgusting

Reliably the best Chinese in the area. Always tastes amazing, and delivery is always so courteous and kind- whatever the weather. Clear family favourite and it’s been that way for many years.

We ordered takeaways for Valentine's night, it was a large order & we asked it to be delivered at 6:30. The delivery was on time & the driver was very pleasant. The food was delicious, we had a varied selection & every dish was very tasty. We highly recommend The Emperor, thank you for giving us a lovely evening.

Excellent food as always from The Emperor!

Chicken was very fatty not like other places we have ordered from in the past

Food was delivered late, but duck was not “off the bone” as requested, Singapore noodles were charred, chilli beef was cold. Taste and quality duck was good.

Food was really good! When we got there to pick up an order we were sat down as it wasnt ready yet and even given some prawn crackers and sauce while we waited. The staff was very friendly and kind paying a lot of attention to customers and the atmosphere was amazing with all the new years decorations. Definitely coming back here again.

Everything is great! Food, atmosphere, services!!

Always fresh tofu, and food is great quality. Excellent!

Went with two friends last night. Lovely food and amazing service. Special thanks to Gus and Raymond for making the evening so enjoyable. Look forward to returning!

Really nice food cooked hot and fresh, great quality. Shout out to Gus who made the evening looking after us with his humour and made sure we were always topped up with food and drinks. Thanks!

It was an absolute delight dining in this restaurant. I went with a friend and the service was amazing the staff were super helpful and funny. The food was also gorgeous one of the best Chinese restaurants I’ve been too!

Food was very tasty and hot on arrival. Wish they had more options on the menu for starters and duck dishes. But overall good.

Excellent food as always from The Emperor!

Absolutely delicious food and hot too. Big portions, we definitely didn’t go hungry. Will be ordering again

Food is ok but nothing special, Service is quick, Atmosphere for Saturday half tables empty, Bill, invoiced for £99 as a joke said 'how much ' woman came over and replaced with a bill for £129 Set price is £27.50*3 plus 2 drinks each. If you go just check on drink prices

Food from here is always fresh & hot.. the honey pork is so good you keep going back for more

Having ordered before we expected a bit more but this time the food unfortunately was bland. The ribs were dry, the pancake rolls were all pastry not much filling. The sweet and sour chicken balls and sauce were bland and not really tasted of anything though well cooked. The chicken curry was not flavoursome and not really a curry imo. The beef chow mien and prawn crackers were the best dishes. Sadly we probably will order from somewhere else next time

Nice food and delivered quickly

Excellent food (as always) from The Emperor!

Excellent food, as always, from The Emperor!

As always, top notch food - reliably delicious and fresh. Only let down is the prawn crackers, but who really cares about those!

Wonderful food as always from The Emperor!

Ordered takeaway . With all respect , the quality of the food is not what you would look forward to and expect . This is my opinion. The food seemed as if frozen and heated Up. We all left the food and didn’t finish it .

The food was awful. Very salty, and chewy prawns, undercooked beef, toasted spring rolls, clearly precooked, chemical smelly rice

Excellent food as always from The Emperor!

Little bit expensive but nice food and the most amazing service. People are so lovely!

I normally eat in but tonight I stopped for takeaway as a treat. I've never had takeaway from here before and I won't be again, I wish I'd gone to my normal takeaway. How eat in and takeaway could be so different is beyond me.

Excellent food (as always) from The Emperor!

Every previous order we’ve had from The Emperor has been great, but this time the chicken in the fried noodles was dry and tasted old, the crispy beef was chewy and bland, and the seaweed wasn’t at all crispy. Very disappointed.

Best chinese I've had in a long time. Will definitely become a regular for me!

I don't live in the area so this was a random pick based on reviews and the menu. My main chicken dish was really delicious with an actual variation of veg and not just padded out with peppers. The spring rolls were rather thin and lacking in filling, but still tasted nice. Would recommend.

Always very welcoming, the food is always excellent and the staff are lovely

Excellent food (as always) from The Emperor!

Absolutely love the food would give this restaurant 5* apart from one of the waiters. Made to feel uncomfortable as rude, abrupt and unfriendly. Won’t be visiting again.

Consistently good food , travels well for delivery-great service by staff

Prawn toast great but everything else is quite standard - for the price, expected tastier food. Pork was particularly bad

Excellent food (as always) from The Emperor!

Favourite Chinese restaurant in the area. Evening set price meal, you can choose from all the classic dishes which are cooked to order. Food is fresh, tasty and there's plenty of it. Staff are friendly and efficient. Would get 5 stars but the restaurant itself is a little tired and gets cold.

Very pleased with service all round

Food was very dry and tasteless

Excellent food as always from The Emperor!

Very impressed. The delivery arrived 20 minutes earlier than predicted and on a Friday night too. The food was delicious, a top quality take away.

Excellent service and good food will recommend

Food selection is great, very fresh and lovely tastes.

Excellent food from The Emperor (as always)!

First time used and the food was faultless in taste and quality.

Excellent food (as always) from the Emperor!

Great food as usual and even better customer service. An extra dish to apologise for a really small error last time - unprompted and gratefully received. Thank you The Emperor.

Excellent foos as always from The Emperor!

Had a super birthday dinner for Jessica. It is not a cheap night out though! It cost c.£250 for 6 of us. Includes alcohol though. Great service though. Food was really good too.

Order special fried rice….. could have been a lot better!

Great food, great service and very pleasant. Really enjoyed the food here last night. Thanks guys, would definitely visit again.

Excellent food as it always is. Unfortunately this time I got mixed vegetables instead of the beef dish I had ordered. As I say, fantastic food , but an error in the order this time

Excellent food as always from The Emperor!

Had a takeaway from the Emperor, always very friendly service and great tasting food.

Best s&s chicken balls. Pleasant driver.

Excellent food (as always) from The Emperor!

Excellent food and much quicker delivery than expected. Had shredded beef with chilli, twice cooked Szechuan pork, Singapore noodles and prawn toast and was all excellent

Outstanding. Exceptional. Out of this world. Honestly my absolute favourite restaurant to order from. The Ribs are 10/10, crispy beef 10/10, duck 10/10, if they sell it, its 10/10.

Just the best Chinese food around. Brilliant!

Service was not great here and the staff are not very pleasant but the food is good although the portion sizes aren't very generous.

This place was honestly horrible. It didn’t taste like Chinese at all. The special fried rice was white with no soy sauce and the sweet and sour chicken didn’t taste like anything at all. It was so overpriced on just eat. Honestly don’t recommend this at all I’m so upset!

Thanks again Emperor. Great meal
