Top-notch hospitality! Authentic Chinese food! The egg tarts were to die-for. Definitely a hidden gem in the middle of Edinburgh. A must try for those missing Cantonese cuisine!

Authentic chinese restaurant! We had the fried squid with peppercorn salt (10/10) for the spices and crunchiness; the sijidou was crunchy 👌 (10/10); the cumin lamb had the right amount of spice (9/10) 👌; the fried rice wok hey (10/10) 🥵; and the egg tarts were warm and gooey but had such a crispy crust (10/10) ♥️. Prices and portion size were reasonable, and the service was so friendly! Highly recommend this place to anyone craving some great sichuan/dimsum cuisine 💯

The hand pull chicken on chef special menu is a must. Crispy skin pork is amazing. Better than any Chinese restaurant you can have in the US. Very authentic. Beyond description. Highly recommended.

We had meal in the emperor with my friends, the food was amazing and authentic , especially the spicy chicken dish, taste oriental! and really comfortable environment, friendly staffs, I will highly recommend to all my friends to eat ,we will be back again!

We came across this place on my Birthday. I love Chinese food, so we decided to give a try. We ordered a Chinese Buffet for £15 per person. Was super delicious and lots of food. Really recommend this place

Service was really good and fast but dumplings we ordered were terrible. I'm not sure if it's because we had them make our food very fast or not. May be will give it another try.

Amazing Chinese food with a large variety. Everything tasted amazing and wasn’t too salty nor lacking in flavour. Egg tarts were nice and warm when served.
