It was Mother's Day at Emperor Seafood restaurant. An absolute frenzy from the moment we walked in…read more-- packed dining rooms, large Chinese families everywhere, noise levels through the roof, and servers running at full speed trying to keep up with the chaos. The staff wanted my wife to sit at an angle to the table; so that they could pass through. The seafood itself was solid traditional Cantonese fare with fresh lobster tanks, steamed fish, and classic banquet-style dishes. The atmosphere felt colorful authentic Hong Kong banquet hall energy. However, some of their pricing was completely out of whack. Mother's Day premium for sure which is understandable, but some dishes were simply excessively expensive for what was delivered. For example, our two lobsters, while fresh, were missing that smoky "wok hei" flavor that great Cantonese kitchens are known for. It lacked the depth, aroma, and richness one expects from a proper high-heat wok preparation. A few items felt priced more for Guide Michelin luxury dining than a Flushing seafood hall. This said, the service was efficient and professional; changing plates all the time. So a high level of attention above the usual Cantonese restaurant. Overall, decent food in and an authentic Hong Kong style restaurant that targets special family gatherings, but be prepared, both the crowds and the bill can become overwhelming very quickly. I paid more than $400 for three people. But we had a Tiger Fish which is $50 per pound.

This was the former location of the beloved Guangzhou Restaurant that sadly shuttered in the early…read more2010s, which then went on to be a series of random businesses over the years, only to be a Cantonese restaurant again. I have so many reasons to believe that Emperor is truly the reincarnation of the restaurant...just a little rusty. I've only come here for dim sum and I'm still surprised it doesn't get even half of the insane volume that nearby dim sum restaurants get, especially with how much closer they are to Roosevelt Ave. I have to say that the dim sum here is slightly better than most locations in the core downtown area, both in presentation and taste. No cart ladies, just a paper and pencil ordering system. The other diners that I usually encounter seem to strike me as locals, which is becoming harder to find these days. Prices are slightly more expensive than the other places, which is probably a factor as to why there aren't as many customers. The other reason is probably the subpar customer service here, which I've encountered on a number of recent visits. There are so many workers here, but none of them seem to have any good grasp of what customer service is. For example, I've had the waiter hover over me as I was gathering cash for my bill and snatched it the moment I placed the money down, also demanding at least 18% (again, for subpar service). Also, if you complain to them about your food, even if you find a hair, they will not do anything about it. The food quality is slightly above most of the dim sum places, but also bear in mind the hit-or-miss service you'll get, which the latter can be super frustrating.

Like there were no wait staff in the dining room.. actually there was 1 but she never comes to the tables. We ordered three dishes and only one of them tasted okay. The other two tasted horribly bad.. We got: Chongqing diced chicken with dried chili - it tasted okay, a very standard Szechuan dish Squirrel fish - fish was not fresh, sauce was full of food coloring and tasted artificial. We had so much left over and didn't even wanna take it with us. Drunken spare ribs - ribs were all bad parts, like the parts that are full of fats and tendon, the parts with messed up bones When we were ready to pay our bill, a lady finally walked out and greeted us looking like she just woke up from her nap, and waited next to me until she took the bill back with signed tips.

Every bite was packed with flavor, and you can tell the food is made with care. My favorites were Wok Seared Black Pepper Beef and Cumin Lamb that had just the right amount of kick. I also love the Truffle Fried Rice where the Truffle flavor is pungent. Whether you're already a fan of Szechuan cuisine or looking to try something new, this restaurant is a great place to satisfy those spicy cravings.

Three Meat Platter (BBQ Pork, Roast Pork, Squid): The stand-out here was the squid--super tender and packed with flavor! Pork Trotter with Yellow Peanuts: Really rich and flavorful, though our dish was surprisingly missing the peanuts. Yangzhou Fried Rice: A very interesting and unique flavor profile.

The filling was decent, but the vinegar on the side was too mild. I'm used to a darker, more robust vinegar with XLB, so this didn't quite hit. Braised pork - very tender and flavorful, served with quail eggs. This was one of the stronger dishes. Yangzhou fried rice - not too oily which I liked, but served with only 5 an small shrimps... Sweet & sour shredded potato (cold dish) - slightly spicy, I really enjoyed this one. It was part of a promo where you can get it for $1 when you spend $30 on entrees, so definitely worth adding.
