    We were offered a room on the enclosed balcony with a nice view over the river. We had the yum cha, with a selection of tasty and temptingly presented food. Highly recommended!

    Red Emperor is a wonderful restaurant, it's no wonder they have been open for as long as it has. Food is fresh and delicious. Old school impeccable service, something that has been lost in the running of many other restaurants but not at Red Emperor. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our banquet and look forward to visiting again soon.
