9. Emperor's Express

Dette er en enkel kinesisk restaurant, men med et godt utvalg på menyen. Maten er velsmakende og ser også veldig bra ut. Betjeningen er effektive og tjenestevillige. Restaurantlokalet er enkelt, men for et godt måltid er det mer enn bra nok.

Ordered take out for our family when visiting the area. The woman on the phone was so nice and helpful. Food was delivered to the hotel promptly, but that is where my satisfaction ended. Very large portions, but not like any Chinese food I've ever eaten. Sauces were watery and flavors were very subdued and not at all like I expected. Big disappointment because the cost was over ten dollars per dish. I would not recommend this restaurant.

The lunch buffet is only $8.00 including tax!!!!!!! The food quality ranges from only OK to quite good. The selection, however, is excellent! There is an area with several types of Japanese-style rolls (I won't call them sushi rolls, because none of them had sushi fish in them) that were reasonably tasty. This buffet, for only $8.00 including tax, even has peel and eat shrimp! There are a wide variety of probably 30 or maybe 40 items on the buffet, including a couple of beef dishes and pork dishes, along with the typical several chicken dishes. There is also a section with pizza and some other "American" type foods, but the onion rings wern't that good. Many of the chinese dishes I tried were pretty good. Obviously, the $8.00 price has to limit the quality somewhat or they would quickly go out of business, but overall it was pretty good. Again, the variety and selection is excellent!Did I mention the price is only $8.00 including tax? I will return. You should try it.

The prices are unbeatable. Something this delicious and with this large of a serving would probably cost triple in Chicago. The edamame is a must. My food came out so quickly. The raspberry lemonade is also so delicious. I would eat here every day if I could.

Ordered Hunan beef and it tasted and looked like BBQ beef. Not good at all. We threw it out. Also ordered sweet and sour pork which is a staple and kind of a hard meal to mess up, they managed to slaughter it, the meat was old and the consistency of beef jerky. They had good egg rolls and good fried rice. We won't be back though.

Easy, close to home. i love eating there. My favorite is their walnut shrimp which I have almost every time I'm there. Also - look on the receipt: if you review your visit on their website you get a third choice for free next time you come in. Have done this several times now. Nice to take a little extra food home for later.

While the actual building is nothing to brag about, the food is. They have the best egg rolls around. I have not ever had anything bad here. The portions are very generous and we almost always have leftovers. Any of my family that has moved out of the area always makes this a "must visit" when they are back in the area.I have tried a lot of other Chinese restaurants and always come back here. I have never found anything that we like better!While they do have a small dining area, their main business is carryout!
