    Amazing dining experience Tasty food, slightly on the expensive side, but I'd do it again not as frequently compared to other places I go to They ask if you wanna leave a tip at the register, not quite common thing in Australian hospitality They don't push for it though

    We found the banquet we ordered rushed, and this was noticed by all at our table, as if the staff wanted to get home. The food itself was really good albeit pricey. The staff initially were friendly but as time went by they lost the sparkle.

    We had a good time, the Staff were good, the atmosphere was good but we didn't like our meal that much but that was our fault, it was what we ordered that we didn't like that much but we will be back, next time we will order something different.

    We've been coming to the Red Emperor since it opened at Southgate in 1992. Whoever visits us we take them there. Nothing is ever a problem. One of our guests was allergic to shellfish and they were happy to swap a bowl of special fried rice for boiled. After one round of drinks they know what every one is having. The service is amazing and a double thank you to Fiona who was such a star on Monday night!

    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! :)

    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
