We had an absolute blast at Red Emperor in Chinatown. We had a yum cha lunch booking for a table of 11 and we enjoyed a variety of different yum cha items. One additional positive is that Red Emperor cater for gluten free and coeliacs so enjoy your food when you dine there. You wont be disappointed.

We had overall a nice dining experience
We were on the top level
It was a little warm in terms of temperature and the waitress spilled softdrink on me, which was an accident and i understand these things happen.

We had a booking which proved unnecessary because that information as ignored when we arrived. My husband's entree was not the one he ordered but similar so he didn't complain. All the waitpeople were very pleasant and friendly. The food was delicious and the timing of presentation of courses suited us well.

ABSOLUTELY LOVED EVERYTHING ABOUT THE DINING EXPERIENCE. SERVICE WAS FANTASTIC.
FOOD, WAS THE BEST BANQUET WE HAVE EVER HAD. SO YUMMY.
ONE THING THAT LETS THE PREMISES DOWN IS THE TOILETS.
HOWEVER, OVERALL WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND. THANKS FOR A LOVELY NIGHT

Service was excellent with friendly and helpful staff, the seafood dishes was perfectly cook ( 10 out of 10) specially the lobster with noddles was the best in town so far, I couldn't find any better than your one but the fried chicken was bit dry. the only complaint is access to the toilet.
Would love to come back again either yum cha or dinner
