8.5/10Very tasty food, and a plethora of gluten free and vegetarian options. It isn't cheap food, but it is delicious and decent servings. The one blemish was that the service didn't mat

8/10Food exceptional, service was fairly lacklustre for first 20 minutes but improved markedly throughout lunch. As it was an “all you can eat” yumcha Sunday, we had to wait outside

10/10Red Emperor is a great restaurant for Cantonese cuisine, especially yum cha. Wait staff were friendly and professional. Pricing is on the high side, though expected from the locale.

8/10We did not think that the food was as good as some places in Chinatown. No roast pork nor roast duck in the $60 deal. That was poor. For $180 for three, it was not up to standard.
