Unfortunately it was an average visit as the service was slow and not attentive
An awesome place. A yum cha/Chinese restaurant without MSG and with GF options is so thoughtful and is helping people lead healthier lives. Thank you so much. I am grateful to have been able to come to this amazing place and experience the delicious food and great service. We are from Sydney, and will definitely visit here again next time we come to Melbourne. 👍🏻😋
What a find! Good range of amazing dumplings, great service. Value for money is ok, maybe slightly more expensive than many others.
Food was beautiful, what we had was value for money. Staff where polite but not a very warm experience, they seemed to be like robots. Overall I recommend giving it a go.
Always amazing food and service thank you Red Emperor! :)
The food is delicious and the waiters are very kind and helpful.
Food good but not great. Some dishes were not hot and staff were pushy with food.
Very good service and I be back soon and thanks
The atmosphere was excellent, the staff were effervescent, the food was exquisite and the price was reasonable for the perfect experience
Great meal ...yet again totally satisfied with everything we ate
Great yum cha - perfect view of the yarra watching the boats go by
Favourite place for us. Have had birthday meals (20 of us) as well as casual dining. Good, friendly service and food has been excellent. Highly recommend.
Very slow and poor service and the quality of the food was well below past experiences at this restaurant
Pretty much a good experience but there were spider webs on the outer section railings. Need to be a clean place if they want to place a table there.
Love the food at the Red Empreor. Will be back again
Wonderful as always. Amazing all you can eat yum cha
Excellent food, my friend recommended we try it out. Due to restriction laws, very quiet, but the atmosphere was perfect. Front of house staff and the manager were very entertaining. The price of each dish compared to portion could be a bit better, but nevertheless, excellent food. Probably the softest kangaroo meat I have had in Melbourne.
We went for a special anniversary dinner. We loved the food, the atmosphere and the service. A very enjoyable dining experience,
Always a pleasure to dine at Red Emporer, wait staff are attentive and courteous. Nothing is a bother for them.
The service was incredible, the staff were friendly and attentive. The food was a taste sensation for the soul. I highly recommend Red Emperor for anyone that loves incredible Asian food.
I have been attending this restaurant for over 20 years so naturally it was the number one choice to celebrate my birthday with my daughter today, it may be a different venue to 20 years ago but as per usual absolutely delicious, service is always spot on and we are always made welcome, so happy that you are open to the public again after the CoVID-19 restrictions.
Great to be back. Hope the patronage cranks back up quickly for you!!!
Amazing food on sunday yum cha and and fantastic service
Food was absolutely delicious. Never tasted better salt and pepper calamari before! Service was also exceptional with lovely, friendly staff.
Delicious food and great friendly service! Will definitely go back
Food was very average in flavour and some of the dishes were tasteless. $60 per head for optional Yum Cha "All you can eat" is very over priced. No offers of Tea or Mocktails, coffee was terrible.
Love this place. Great food, staff wonderfully polite, brilliant location.
As always, exceptional cuisine served with great flair and the wine carte presents some great aged - as well as younger - wines. Bravo !
Food is ok, overpriced and they are in a hurry when your meal is over to usher you out and we hadn't really finished our drink. No customer focus and rude.
Outstanding food, great menu, courteous and attentive service. Tables well spaced and low noise level. Great for entertaining.
Long term diner and this was the first time we have been disappointed. Food great as usual but table service appalling.
Food took a long time to come.Paid $90 per head.Portions very small.Pork very tough, quail dry.Not at all worth what we paid.Wont be returning.
Great vegetarian menu. So many choices which is most unusual. Staff are attentive and the food is wonderful.
Love the food there. Excellent service. I’m glad that Raymond still remembers me, which is an excellent touch on personal service. Would go back again. Regards, Natalie.
The food was good. However it was expensive. The service was quite abrupt and intrusive.
Fantastic yum cha and service. Can't wait to go again
My friends and I enjoyed the experience and were made very welcome. The service was excellent.
Great service and food! Not the first time we have eaten here and won't be the last.
There was a male server who aggressively provided false information to us about the yum cha there, so we barely ordered food for the first hour until one of the lovely trolley ladies made the effort to bring us food.
Excellent food and service. I would highly recommend this restaurant to family and friends!
Delicious food and excellent service. Went here for a friends’ birthday.
Wide variety of succulent dishes, first class customer service, the restaurant always gave us the table with the best view available on all our visits, the waiting staff were always polite and courteous, never rushing us and often with a smile rather than many other restaurants where the waiters often carried a sour face, restaurant management are always welcoming and make you feel it, thoroughly recommended.
We were seated outside but it meant the service of Yum Cha was not being brought outside to us until we spoke to one of the waiters. Would say atmosphere and service inside would be better.
We chose the yum cha options .... food was average ... lots of dishes were cold & service was average
Have been going to Red Emperor for the past 30+ years for casual dining & special occasions like celebrating Chinese New Year dinners. Food is always fresh, delicious and service is great.
The food was as delicious as always and the service was outstanding! Really enjoyed our visit.- thank you Julian
This restaurant is AMAZING. We were celebrating a family event & the food was served promptly, was absolutely delicious and the staff were so friendly & helpful. We left feeling like we had just had a five star experience.
Great service and were able to cater to vegan vegetarian and pecatarian needs in yum cha
Great night and meal with very efficient and friendly staff. The food was top notch.
Excellent Yum Cha and very good options for vegetarians and GF eaters (ask for the menu).
