" I have been coming to Emperor's Choice for years and each visit reminds me why it's my go-to spot in Chinatown. The fried wontons are a must-try for starters, and the Hong Kong steak is divine. The service is like visiting family; they remember me every time! However, I must admit the noise level can get quite high with large crowds. Still, I love everything about this place and I always recommend it to anyone visiting. " (*Curated Review*)

" The experience at Emperor's Choice was wonderful from start to finish. The staff greeted us warmly, and it was clear they valued customer satisfaction. We shared several dishes, and everything, from the Cantonese roasted duck to the stir-fried vegetables, was rich with flavor. The portions were generous, allowing us to enjoy a bit of everything. The atmosphere felt inviting, making it a perfect spot for families or dinner with friends. I can't wait to return to explore more of the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" The week prior, I had a terrible experience at an Asian restaurant but my dining experience at Emperor's Choice was completely the opposite! The potstickers were freshly made and bursting with flavor. I had no complaints about the service, as everyone was friendly and eager to help. It can get a little loud when busy, but the atmosphere adds to the charm! This place is a must-visit when in Chinatown! " (*Curated Review*)

" We were looking for a quick bite in Chinatown and stumbled upon Emperor's Choice. I ordered the garlic shrimp, and they were surprisingly fresh! My only complaint was that there could have been more vegetables in the dish, but overall it was a delightful meal. The servers were attentive and the atmosphere was casual yet clean. I would recommend this place for a straightforward dinner without fuss. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're searching for top-notch authentic Cantonese food, Emperor's Choice is the place to go. The dim sum selection is first-rate, especially loved the shrimp dumplings. Service was fast and attentive, with staff checking in frequently. The only downside is the sometimes limited space, especially during peak hours. Nonetheless, it's certainly worth the wait! " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant caught my attention because of the bustling atmosphere and vibrant environment! We were seated quickly, but the server seemed overwhelmed and our orders took longer than expected. The fried rice was a bit too oily for my taste, but the chicken wings were scrumptious. I would recommend it for casual dining, but it could be improved by better coordination among staff. " (*Curated Review*)

" I discovered Emperor's Choice thanks to a recommendation, and I'm so glad I went! Their dim sum is fabulous and was truly a highlight of my visit. The staff were enthusiastic and offered great suggestions. However, the space feels tight, and it can be noisy during peak hours. Overall, the food makes up for the slightly uncomfortable seating. This is a must-visit for anyone in the area. " (*Curated Review*)
