Idk why people are complaining get the takeout. Food is cheap and tastes decent. Service is ok but you’re paying low prices. Inside isn’t the greatest so takeout is a must
We go to Emperor's Garden BBQ & Noodles on Thomas St regularly - it's one of our local favourites. Although it's known for BBQ it has other dishes that we love. The vegetarian fried rice is the best we've had - fluffy, never greasy, fragrant with a lovely smoky flavour and plenty of the good stuff like chopped bamboo heart, egg, mushrooms & vegetables. The salt & pepper tofu is amazing - big chunks of really fresh, beautifully textured, fried tofu with just the right amount of seasoning and topped with chopped fresh chilli & shallots. Fantastic mushroom dishes - big, fat succulent Chinese mushrooms with veges or in a hearty hotpot.
The servings are all very generously sized so while mains are around $28 they're designed for sharing between 2 or more people.
The service is efficient and straight-forward. If getting your order correct and quickly to your table is more important than fake smiles, then this is the place for you.
Decor is not fancy - the space is basically a large, square room with tiled floor but they've made an effort to warm up the look with a huge traditional-style paper and ink-brush wall hanging, as well as assorted red Chinese lanterns and fans.
We notice that most of the other customers are Chinese people, which is always a good sign that the food is the real deal. We keep coming back because it's never let us down.
Not the flashy Emperor's Garden, this is Canton Bbq fast feed. You can order shiny bbq duck and pork from the street. The duck noodles is generous, nice crunchy egg noodles and clean, clear and tasty broth.
