They deliver pretty quick too compared to some of the other restaurants in Carlow. The only thing I would say they could do to improve would be if they had pictures of what all the dishes actually are. I'd love to try more things but if I'm honest end up ordering the same thing most of the time. Highly recommended if you need to satisfy an aul Chinese craving!!

OK prices for the area; the food's worthwhile though there's nothing all that unusual or exciting on the menu -- typical take-away Chinese for Ireland. Open 7 days, 4 PM to midnight.

Bathrooms are another floor up, across from the kitchens. Not sure what was going on in the kitchen but from the dining room it sounded like they were wrestling or playing soccer up there. Food is not particularly tasty. I don't think it will make you sick or anything, it just have nothing special about it to recommend. The rice was bland as well, although the Hot & Sour soup was good. Beer and wine available in single serve bottles. Service was OK, again, nothing to rave about but adequate. If the food were a bit more flavorful this would be a really nice spot.

The owners are visibly proud of what they are offering, from the food to the atmosphere. I've been there countless times and I cannot find one negative thing to say about it.

They also have take-out to the same standard. If you live in town, just get the dart to Greystones, it's worth the hassle!

The hoi sin sauce was watered down to the point it could not be tasted and the pancakes were just dough, they were not steamed and did not come apart.

Needless to say we won't be returning if that's how they treat repeat customers

The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive (especially the manager Ming), they always recognize you (if you frequent more than once) and their positive attitude makes the place a fun and relaxed place to dine. I LOVE spicy food, so I usually opt for the a trio of pork, chicken and shrimp with egg fried rice with spicy szceuchan sauce to boot! Delish! Also, while many other similar restaurants would avoid putting too much shrimp in such a dish (as it is relatively expensive on their part) I am always impressed with this place as they don't scrimp of the shrimp! Their main courses are fairly substantial, so if you don't have a hearty appetite, perhaps skipping the starters would be ideal! That being said, the spring rolls are a must if you feel up to the challenge! Have often frequented the place on special occasions, e.g. birthdays, and the manager always brings out a free dessert for the VIP and the staff all sing happy birthday, which is a real treat, the cherry on top so to speak! Takeaway service is also an option, and there is a seating area available for those waiting to collect their order, with newspapers and magazines to read while you wait. There is also free Wifi, which is always a bonus!

Friday night I ate at Emperor's Palace after catching up with friends at Phil Carroll's…read more I was curious to try Chinese food in Ireland. As I drove through much of Ireland even the smallest of villages had at least one Chinese restaurant. There didn't seem to be any other ethnic restaurants apart from your occasional spotting of an Indian restaurant. So being the adventurous person that I am, I decided to try Emperor Palace. First of all, the manager Ming is a real delight. He made sure we were looked after from beginning to end. I really appreciated his hospitality. The other staff members were wonderful as well. We started with what is called lettuce wraps (in the US). I don't know what's is called on the menu but it's ground beef, spices, and cups of lettuce. It was delicious. For a main course we had a couple of sauteed lobsters, served on top of lo mein noodles. We had a side of asparagus. Everything was very good. Believe it or not, they make a delicious Irish coffee. I highly recommend it. Do stop by if in the Clonmel/Cashel area. Enjoy!

I visited this place for the first time at the weekend…read more We walked up a flight of stairs to find a friendly waitress at the top of stairs who opened the glass door and welcomed us in with a smile on her face! We were told we could sit anywhere(which is always nice! I hate when you are shoved in beside someone and there is no one else in the restaurant!) It was busy enough vibe as there were 2 groups of people. We were immediately served prawn crackers in a lovely oriental bowl, we ordered chicken in black bean sauce and tofu in black bean sauce and enquired about what beer was the nicest, the waitress recommended a nice chinese beer, can't think of the name of it now, but it was the cheapest one on the menu, which made it all the nicer! :) Fresh jug of water and ice was promptly brought to our table and our dinner arrived shortly afterwards. We finished everything! Yum! For desert we had banana fritters, which was served with honey and icecream. Delicious! I saw on the menu they serve cocktails that are €4.50, which is a very good price, so I must go back to try those! The service and food were all top notch! Will definitely be back! :)
