The duck skin is crispy and everything is handmade.

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!

Don't trust the one review! lol Anyway it is Mother's Day tomorrow and being Saturday as well most of the other Chinese restaurants were fully booked. We were surprised when we arrived to find no Chinese patrons and pizza on the menu and expected the worst. Why bother giving it a purely Chinese name if you serve pizzas and curry as well? Well the chefs are Chinese and that is something. Anyway the food isn't too bad as Chinese food in an Australian restaurant go. They were edible and the servings were generous. We didn't try any of the other types of food (Swedish pizza for example). The waitresses were courteous.

Sometimes you need to undertand the background of the owners and chefs before you open your mouth…read more Great Eastern Hakka is one of those places...where food has evolved with the owners. Ok let me explain...there is more to it than meets the eye. Great Eastern Hakka is run by an ethnic Chinese couple who hail from India! Chinese from India...yes yes! and they speak both Hindi and Chinese languages (don't believe me...go try it!). Anyway the owners moved from India and lived in Sweden for a while and now Melbourne is blessed.....so what's my point? Great Eastern Hakka is Chinese Indian food - its neither Chinese nor Indian....its something else!!! I am a great fan - love this place. And, they brought along Swedish Pizza with them that they serve at their restaurant. I love Swedish pizzas - yummmmm! I guarantee you will enjoy and have a great time. It's a little gem quietly tucked away.

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.

The restaurant itself is a typical Chinese restaurant with poor furnishings and a lack of design and appeal. The tables are squeezed in to maximize space and noise levels can get high at times. The food however was very tasty and hearty. The prices were reasonable, and the serving sizes were adequate. I found their crab to be cooked exceptionally well here, in comparison to other restaurants of the same class. The flavors they use on their traditional crab, just seem tastier than usual. The service here is also good as staff are attentive, and the food arrives relatively quickly. This is a good causal Chinese restaurant to dine at if you're too tired to cook. Simple and local, probably would pick somewhere a bit nicer if it was for a special occasion though.
