Red Emperor - Southbank

Great food, great balcony seats, Steph (waiter) was amazing!! Best lunch of YumCha

Good selection of dim sum ala carte but there was also an AYCE option when we visited. Very busy but service was great and attentive. The dim sum was well made with quality ingredients.

Excellent food and service. Best choice if you are in Southbank.

Amazing gluten free selection, especially if you love prawns. The fried pork dumplings are to die for.

Service was fantastic and the food was delicious!! Will be back!

We really loved the food and service was great. We waited abit for all our pre dinner drinks to arrive. Otherwise it was all good.

Service throughout was flawless—attentive, knowledgeable, and discreet. The staff guided us through the extensive menu with confidence, and their wine and tea pairing suggestions were impeccable. The pacing of the meal was perfect, allowing us to savour each course without feeling rushed. Red Emperor is not just a meal; it is a destination. It understands that true luxury lies in the harmony of exceptional food, a stunning location, and seamless, polished service. It refuses to compromise on quality or tradition, and in doing so, delivers an experience that is both grand and deeply satisfying. For anyone seeking the pinnacle of Cantonese dining in Melbourne, a table at Red Emperor is not just a reservation—it is an essential pilgrimage.

Two staff members, Derek and Young, were outstanding as usual

The food and the service at The Red Emperor is fabulous. They asked us if we had a Show to get to and as we did our drinks & meals were on the table in a flash. Beautiful meals and beautiful wine. Thankyou.

Fantastic service, quality food and pleasant surroundings. Would highly recommend

We have dined here a few times and the staff, service and food is always outstanding. We enjoyed a lovely meal with extraordinary service and will certainly return. Service is perfect, not intrusive and always pleasant & friendly.

Food very good nice and hot. Service was very good

one guy really push for tips. the was was delicious but I left unhappy

Great food, excellent and fairly priced wine list and good service.

The manager pressured and demanded all customers to give tips, he gets upset if you do not meet his demand or give less than what he asked for.

A great night! No complaints. We will be back again.

Very lovely birthday experience for my 93yo mother. A tradition in our family

The food here is of a high standard. This was a pre-theatre meal so we have only tried a very limited range of dishes and on this and previous visits all have been very good!
