" The quality of food really varies here. I remember a time when I loved it but lately, the freshness has been lacking and some items feel like they have been sitting out for a while. It's frustrating because I want to enjoy a nice buffet without worrying about food safety. The staff is generally friendly, but the overall environment could use some improvement in cleanliness, particularly under the tables and in the bathrooms. I hope they can address these issues soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Every time I come to Emperor Buffet, I am blown away by the variety of selections they have! The seafood is wonderful, especially the hot crab legs, and the chefs at the grill are so friendly and attentive. They keep the food fresh and the plates empty. A bit noisy because of the crowd, but I feel the energy adds to the experience. I enjoy my visits every time! " (*Curated Review*)

" I don’t typically write reviews, but I was compelled to after visiting Emperor Buffet. Overall, I had a decent experience. The food was fresh, particularly the sushi, and the prices were fair. However, I felt the staff could be more proactive in addressing the needs of their guests. The environment is what you'd expect at a regular buffet, loud and chaotic at times. I would recommend it but only to those looking for a quick and filling meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" My friend and I were excited to try this place given the reviews we heard, but we left disappointed. While there was a variety of food, a lot of it was bland and tasted off. The cleanliness was also a concern, with several tables being dirty and needing attention. I’m not sure if we had an off night, but this won’t be our first choice moving forward. " (*Curated Review*)

" Having visited several buffets, I was eager to try Emperor Buffet based on recommendations. While the variety was good, the overall experience didn’t live up to the hype for me. Some dishes lacked flavor, particularly the fried items. The staff was friendly enough, but I think they could benefit from training in efficiency. It was fine for what it is but not somewhere I’d rush to again. " (*Curated Review*)

" My family visited Emperor on a Sunday for their seafood offerings, and we were very happy with the selection. The crab legs were amazing, and I was pleasantly surprised by the fresh fruit bar. We had a great time, and the service was prompt. The only downside was the noise level when it got busy, but that’s to be expected. I definitely recommend giving it a shot if you love seafood! " (*Curated Review*)

" Just wanted to share my experience at Emperor Buffet. The food here is quite impressive considering the price. I loved the range of sushi and the fact that they have a Mongolian Grill where you can customize your dish. The service was attentive, and our drinks were refilled promptly. It's a bustling place, but it adds to the vibrant atmosphere. Overall, a fantastic spot for a family outing. " (*Curated Review*)
