we brought visitors from QLD with us. we were delighted that this most recent experience was as lovely as our previous visits. The Red Emporer is definitely.our Go-To Chinese restaurant when we visit Melbourne, & I think my husband would prefer to just skip any other restaurant regardless! :)

Red Emperor is always my go to for Yum Cha. I have been coming here for many years when I visit Melbourne. Today I visited with a friend who is in a mobility scooter. The staff went out of their way to make sure she was looked after. Very respectful and helpful, thank you

Fantastic YUM CHA , doors opened right at 11am we were seated right away and within 5 mins the first trolley was out . The yum cha was so delicious, the dumplings were packed full of meat and flavor. We all commented at how good it was and how packed the dumplings were. Will definitely make this our new go to Yum Cha place.

Was okay, the staff was friendly but not much variety of dimsims from the cart and very slow had to wait ages for a noodle dish which the waiter forgot and had to ask again. Desert trolley came once and never again. We did go at 1pm but still an okay experience. And a little pricey

We have switched to Red Emperor as our city Yum Cha place now after this initial try. Food is good quality and customer service levels are very high. Food could be less salty though.

The food quality was great but the waiting service staff was very poor, The wait staff were disinterested and made us feel like we were an imposition, We had a large table and had to ask multiple times for chilli sauce, limited food was bought out on the trolleys so we often had to order extra from the kitchen and we had to ask for desserts to be bought out, very ordinary
