Customer Reviews
I agree with the previous review. If I could post a NO STAR I would. The lady (owner) who are we kidding who takes the orders and is at the front pick up has the nastiest disposition, she is never nice or pleasant, NEVER!! 12.06.24 place an order at 4:15pm. Spent $45.00 on the order. Issue with this item: Large Shrimp Egg Foo Young (4 Pattie’s) was given only 3. Ordered Large shrimp fried rice with jumbo shrimp. There were only a few shrimp. Waste of money. I ate 1 on Friday my spouse ate 1/2 of one. 12.08.24 I’m heating up the food from Friday and I realize there is only 1 patty and the 1/2 left. They only gave me 3 Pattie’s. I called 12.06.24 at 12:15pm. I explain to her the situation and she starts arguing with me (of course I didn’t expect anything else from her). She had me text her a picture of the 1 and 1/2 Pattie’s. Arguing that I should have called on Friday. I told her that if I would have realized it on Friday I would have called then. This call was exhausting. I told her to forget it but that I was going to give her a bad review. She then started texting me back to back to back. I had to tell her to stop texting me and that I would never order from her again. You are supposed to make it right in the beginning of a complaint not at the end after you argued with the customer. If you want to avoid issues don’t order from Emperors Kitchen in Elmhurst, IL.
If I could leave no stars I would… the customer service here is poor… asked the lady how much was something she grabbed a pen and pointed directly at the menu so I asked her was she okay she just look… I don’t understand these businesses that come into neighborhoods and expect you to patronize them but yet they talk and treat you like nothing until you check them… please do better
For the price, this restaurant is not worth it. Artificial crab and overcooked chicken. Your money is better spent elsewhere. There are a lot of Chinese restaurants that charge less for the same ingredients. There are a lot of Chinese restaurants that charge more for better ingredients (specifically REAL crab). I will never recommend this restaurant nor will I ever order from here again. Definitely below average.
One of my favorite restaurants in town , it made me thinking of my hometown dishes , especially the chicken broccoli and hot sour soup ! I ll definitely get back !
This is a little takeout restaurant and they have the absolute best fried rice and egg rolls in Chicago land! I haven't had a Main dish that I didn't like and I've been coming here for over 20 years. Believe me, I've tried every Chinese restaurant 20 mi around.
