I know, I know, don't judge a book by its cover. I come here pretty often for Yum Cha and I usually enjoy my time here. They offer majority of your traditional dim sums and carts frequently pass by (this can depend on where you're sitting though). This place offers relatively good food, it's nothing extraordinary that you would remember- but its definitely enjoyable and satisfactory. I've been here for dinner too, but I find their Yum Cha to be better. It's not that their dinner is bad, it's just that it quite standard and average. In a suburb where one can find ample Chinese restaurants, average sometimes just isn't good enough. That said, if you have a large group- then this place could easily accommodate you. It has a large dining area with big round dining tables at the back. Overall I would suggest Imperial Kingdom only if it is local to you, I wouldn't go out of way to eat here- but if I'm in the area, I'm more than happy to.

Getting here is quite the drive for me; it's a good 1/2 hour if traffic is ok ... so I was…read moredefinitely hoping it would be worth my while. And it was. You walk into a small waiting area to be seated, and then they take you to your table and. you enter this humongous dining space. It's so huge. I think it would comfortably seat around 200+ people. With that said, however, a circular table for four can get a little hard pushed for space with all of the dishes etc. They have a good extensive menu, attentive service and while a teeny bit overpriced, it's worth it overall. One thing I didn't LOVE was the fact there was barely a trace of alcohol in my Strawberry Daiquiri. The flavour was great, but if I got stopped by the police on the way home, I'd have been totally under the radar. The only other negative is that it was hard to watch the poor live fish in such small tanks. They can hardly move around and it looked kind of cruel. All of the positives are the ample parking, good service, great food and they finish the night by giving you a delicious little dark orange chocolate if you feel like something sweet. Would I recommend it here? I give it a resounding Yes!

I rarely eat in the restaurant itself because the takeaway menu is a bit cheaper, but when I do, I am always impressed with the immaculately set out tables, the service of the waiting staff, and the presentation of the food when it arrives. The prices are fairly high when you dine in, though. That isn't to say that it isn't worth it, because it really is. Most main dishes range from $20 to $35, but you're getting real quality for that price. For me, it's a bit of a treat, the same sort of thing that makes seeing a movie in Gold Class a special occasion. As I said, takeaway is a bit cheaper. My wife and I usually grab a beef with cashews, fried rice and a few dim sims, and it works out to be a bit under $25. They're pretty quick at getting the order ready, too. We usually drive up to the shop, phone the order in, and spend the next few minutes looking for a car park. By that time, it's ready to pick up and go. Totally recommend this place to anyone.

I'm a big fan of their banquets, it's a great way to get an impressive selection of food to fill you and satisfy your taste buds. I think that east empress stands out from other suburban Chinese restaurants, is the fact that it's a spacious layout with quite a modern feel. You're not just crammed into a little room that is cheap to run! There service has always been great when eating in and their prices are very reasonable for the serving sizes. They also do take out which is still kept to a great quality and is usual very quickly ready for pick up. I highly recommend it to everyone in the area.

This establishment, previously known as Han Palace (and if you ask most of the locals, that's what…read moreeveryone calls it), has been here for a long time. It is a popular place to grab some delicious takeaway when you've gotten home after a long day and you just cannot be bothered to cook. The food is very good. My traditional favourite is beef with blackbean sauce, but occasionally I'll be adventurous and order something like the roast chicken with plum sauce. I don't often dinner eat in the restaurant though. The atmosphere is average, but most of the staff are lovely. What is good is the yum cha. I'm more than happy to sit down and be presented with all manner of delights. The standard of the food is on par with restaurants that charge a significant amount more per dish. In summary, it's a local institution. It's convenient, the food is good and the people there are nice.
