    A bit pricey in my opinion. I got the chicken curry with rice for $13.95 and it was kind of bland in my opinion. The chicken was very flimsy and rubbery. The curry was not flavorful and the seasoning is not as strong as I thought it would be. Also when I got the chicken curry bowl, the plastic lid on top was melting and crumpling apart from the heat. The plastic lid couldn't close the bowl at all because of the heat. Also some of the rice was dirty and burnt. It was reddish purple. The place was very spacious with lots of customers. There was no background music. The garbage cans were piled up with lots of garbage. The staff cleaned it up though to free up some space in the garbage can. They got lunch specials with certain rice platters with a can of coke or water for $12.99 everyday from 11am to 3:30pm. Too bad the first time I got here it was at 4pm so I really missed the mark.

    Interior

    I was looking for something to eat after catching a show at the Majestic and the line at Los Tacos was insane so I was happy to find that this spot was just around the corner and boy it did not disappoint! Casual but cute atmosphere (it looks new), fast and friendly service and food packed to go so carefully. I ordered soup and they separated the broth and wrapped it in clear wrap so it wouldn't spill and so my meat and noodles were fresh when I poured it in. I got the Taiwanese Beef Soup and it was absolutely delicious. Broth full of flavor and tender meat. And I ordered the mango smoothie and it tasted like real mango (not artificial) and was super smoothly blended! Portions are a good size too! Prices are also decent for the area! My soup and smoothie ran about $25.

    Shrimp Dumpling
    Jerry R.

    Steamed shrimp dumpling very good. soft fresh dough. Fried Pork dumpling average. Too light on the filling. Veg. Lo mein fresh and tasty. Not too oily. Need to add some other noodles to the menu. Prices a little high. Not Chinatown level but acceptable.

    I was in need of a quick bite between Broadway shows, and I was drawn in by the seating and dumplings at Emperor. The food was fine! I really liked the soup dumplings. The interior could have been cleaner--especially the bathroom, which did not lock.

    Not busy when we went for lunch. Ordered on the tablet. Food was decent and price was reasonable. It's all disposable dishes. I would come back for quick cheap eats.

    Its never a bad day for dumplings

    First off, this restaurant was so clean. Its hard to say that about most places in the city. We all just look the other way. The food was good too. It tasted fresh and not like it was under a warmer all day. I would check this place out for sure.

    Pork and Chives and Soup Pork Bun (4 Pieces)

    Really enjoyed this restaurant. The inside atmosphere was nice with ample seating. Dumplings and soup buns were delicious. They were filled with meat and not all dough. I also really loved the bubble tea.

    Mapo tofu lunch special
    Keann H.

    Perfect everyday $12.99 lunch special from 11-3:30, and I managed to catch it in the last few minutes on the kiosk. I opted for the mapo tofu, it is not the spicy red kind but more of a soy based sauce and very tasty with huge soft tofu chunks and tender beef. Plenty of vegetables mixed in and they were cooked to the perfect texture. Not greasy at all and super fresh and filling. Food came out quickly as well and with a smile. Overall I loved this fast casual spot and would definitely return to try their other food as everything looked divine. Clean and modern dining area, tons of upstairs seating as well. A lovely, affordable, quiet spot for a bite to eat, with many locations around the city. Def try this spot!

    Wow, every dish so good. Thought it would be less specialized bc they serve both Thai and…read moreVietnamese dishes but flavors were very clean and strong. - Drunken noodles: not too greasy, might be the best drunken noodles I've had. Medium spice was not spicy at all for us. - Duck curry: a bit small on the portions but the curry is magical. Was scraping this plate clean. - Bo luc lac: star dish for sure. Beef melts on your tongue and the marinade is slightly sweet and smoky. - Summer rolls: small portions but the flavor is there. Super refreshing and special bc they pickle the vegetables inside. - Crispy pork belly: reminds me of the crispy pork I had in Vietnam. Really well done, pairs well with the lettuce and herbs. That green sauce is so addicting. - Papaya salad: super refreshing, nice fish sauce. - Crab fried rice: reminds me of the din tai fung fried rice bc of how clean the flavor is. Great dim ambiance for a date or dinner out. Definitely coming back soon.

    So yum!!!! Top 3 thai spots for me…read more Food- Classic order of Pad Thai & Drunken Noodles. The pad thai noodles are a big thinner than i've had before but that didn't bother me, it has such great flavor too. I recommend ordering it spicy, it's the perfect heat if you're looking for that kick but don't add it if you can't handle spice. The drunken noodles are not spicy in my opinion but i can handle a bit of heat. Loved the flavor and the noodles had the right texture, could've done without the huge chunks of tomato but great otherwise. The summer rolls were good, hard to mess those up. We also got a free mango salad with the order and that was so fresh and delicious. We just popped in for pick up but the hostess was really nice and attentive as soon as we walked in. It looked to be a nice casual spot, could be good for dinner with friends or date night.

It's not your typical lychee martini. It has Aperol and pineapple, which gives it a great flavor. My only note is that I wish it were a bit stronger. For appetizers we had the yellowtail, which is a must get. It was delicious. We also had the lobster spring rolls, another great dish, and the crispy wontons, which were good but not my favorite compared to everything else. For our entrée we got the beef tenderloin, another must get. It was amazing, super tender, and melts in your mouth. We had it with the fried rice, which was solid. For dessert we had the ice cream sandwich, which was different in the best way and extremely delicious. It wasn't too sweet and the cone "buns" were perfection. Overall, this place is gorgeous and the food matches. I would definitely return. The service was also great, the perfect balance of letting you do your own thing and truly enjoy your evening while still checking in. It is pricey. We each paid $184 including tip, but it's definitely worth it for a special occasion or to spoil yourself a bit.
