" Emperor's Kitchen is a gem in the city! I always order their kung pao chicken and it's hands down the best I've ever had! The quality is more than what you'd get at typical fast food chains, and definitely worth the wait during busy lunch hours. The brown rice is a healthy option that complements the entrees well., The staff is generally nice, which adds to the experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't believe I just discovered Emperor's Kitchen! This place has the best orange chicken I've ever tasted. The portions are huge and the prices are very reasonable. I love how everything is served fast, and the staff behind the counter are always friendly. I have tried several entrees and they are all fresh and flavorful. Highly recommended for anyone on a budget but still wanting quality Chinese cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" If it's a really busy time, be prepared for a short wait, but let me tell you, the flavors are completely worth it! Just had their chicken chow mein, and it was beyond what I was expecting. They pile on the food, too! This may not be the fanciest spot, but it is definitely one of the tastiest for the price. Can't wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" I ordered the dim sum and was pleasantly surprised by how fresh and authentic it tasted! The staff were very welcoming, the atmosphere could use a little sprucing up, but I must say, the overall experience exceeded my expectations. I’ll be coming back for more of their delectable dishes soon. Definitely recommend to anyone willing to step out of their comfort zone and try something new. " (*Curated Review*)

" This is hands down my favorite place for Chinese food in town. From the moment you walk in, the staff welcomes you with a smile. Their chicken fried rice is a crowd-pleaser, and the portions could easily fill two people! If you're in the civic center area and craving solid Chinese takeout, make sure to stop by Emperor's Kitchen. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're on the hunt for affordable Chinese food that tastes good, look no further! I ordered a two-plate combo and was pleasantly surprised at how much food I received for the price. Everything tasted fresh, although the atmosphere is not much to write home about. Still, the delicious dishes make it worth stopping by! " (*Curated Review*)

" Let's just say that the flags are up for decent cheap eats in the Tenderloin. Emperor's Kitchen delivers on taste but not on decor. Grab it to go and avoid the awkward setting inside. I can recommend the salt and pepper prawns. Big portions served fast at a price that's hard to beat. Not for the fancy dinner, but a solid choice nonetheless. " (*Curated Review*)
