    When you enter the restaurant, you can see lots of awards handed by the wall. Looks like the village has given them lots of recognition. Foor is great. The shrimp pad thai was alittle bit more oyster saucey. The soup was served hot and just what i liked since i needed a hot soup for my stomach at this time. Would definitely come back.

    We’ve been going here for 20+ years on and off. My son took me for my birthday lunch today and our server, Rolando, made it our best visit ever. I haven’t been in a couple years and the lunch special with eggroll soup and main course plus tea was excellent. I had the moo shu pork which was excellent, and my son had the Mongolian beef, which he also really liked. I especially enjoyed the hot and sour soup today. The last couple times we had takeout I was underwhelmed and today sure made up for it.

    Our server, Amy, was so gracious. We love the soup, in the winter-time especially. Today we tried the pepper and salt fish. They use Sole and it’s an indulgent treat.

    Super portions of yummy Chinese dishes. Very quiet here, so easy to talk to good company. Food comes out fast and perfect. Veggie fried rice had loads of veggies. Moo goo gai pan chicken was tasty as always. We had leftovers for a meal or two. Sweet and sour pork was crispy with sauce on the side. Lunch specials also available.

    Some of the best Chinese food we've ever had. The duck was very good and almost everything was clearly made from scratch with fresh ingredients

    After hearing many good things from friends and family members about some of the best Chinese around since Golden Chopsticks in Bolingbrook closed, my mom and I thought that we'd go investigate House Of Emperor for ourselves. I cannot say enough good things about this place. The atmosphere, the service and the food were all spot on perfection! We started out our lunch with egg drop soup and spicy egg drop soup. I never had the spicy egg drop soup before and let me tell you it is so so good! I ordered the spicy Mongolian beef with egg rolls and chicken fried rice My mom ordered shrimp lo mein with egg rolls and rice We were both very, very satisfied with both of our meals. Some of the best Chinese I've had in about easily 3 or 4 years I highly recommend House of Emperor for anyone looking for some amazing tasting Chinese. You will not be disappointed. I will definitely be going back very soon House of Emperor five stars across the board! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
