The food was excellent, the flavours were great and the showmanship with the sizzling king prawns was unexpected but amazing.Service was prompt and we were well catered too. The staff took extra care to listen to my partners allergy requirements and provide clarification to ensure safety and satisfaction.The atmosphere however leaves a little to be desired. Feeling somewhat dated, it struggles to create the cozy atmosphere it tries to imply. This isn't to say it's bad, but small details such as paper tablecloths, plastic chopsticks and ambient lighting could be improved upon. The fish tank was a fun unexpected bonus though.Overall a great restaurant, where you can enjoy some seriously good food away from the chaos of the city. Dishes may be on the pricey side, but you get great value for money.

Menu items are what you'd expect from any British Chinese restaurant. Quality is good, it meets the price point, as does the atmosphere. Service is great, friendly and attentive. The larger round tables have Lazy Susans. You're really going to get exactly what you expect from a classic Chinese restaurant when you come here.The takeaway options seem a little limited, notably there are decent vegetarian/vegan options on the restaurant menu but none on the takeaway menu. In fact, the only way to get a good vegetarian takeaway meal is to get the vegetarian sharing platter for two, which includes items not listed individually. Strange. Perhaps they accept special requests? Despite this, there were plenty of orders coming in for takeaway/delivery when I dined in on a quiet Tuesday night, some seemingly from regulars, so it can't be bad.Pictured:Beancurd with black bean sauce and green peppers/chillisSteamed riceHouse white wine

First time visit as passing. Went for takeaway. Super friendly waiter staff,ten min wait.Was £5 more than my local but it was very tasty and beef was not stringy or chewy.I would definitely visit again. Had a free bag of prawn crackers and pot of curry sauce.

Booked a table, arrived and no table was held for us. Had to ask for a menu after 15 minutes of being seated. Waiting an hour for food to come out after having to ask for our order to be taken. Had to ask for the bill twice after waiting 30 minutes. Food was decent, not a bad price. Service ruined the entire experience. Will not be returning.

I love this Chinese. Everyone's so friendly, service is amazing, food is great and in good portions. Never ate in the restaurant because it's so close to my house but its soo cute and comfy vibes inside. 5*

We arrived late towards the end of service, however, we were welcomed and unhurried.We ordered a variety of starters and mains- all food was freshly cooked and to a high-standard.One of our group is hard to please, yet she enjoyed everything and left very satisfied, as we all did. Would definitely come again!

We haven’t been to Emperor Court for ages but we’re so glad we decided to come here again this evening. The food was excellent, freshly cooked, hot and good quality ingredients. The service was great and we felt very welcome.

Some of the nicest Chinese food I’ve ever had! We walked in on Saturday night and were given a table quickly. The food was great and brought to us quickly. Nice atmosphere and decor. The staff were all really friendly and helpful. Definitely will visit again and order takeaway from here. Very reasonably priced for such great quality. 100% recommend if you’re looking for great Chinese food in Bristol!

We booked this restaurant for our anniversary as we wanted to eat Chinese. We thought to give this place a try as we never heard or tried this place before. When we walked-in it didn't look that great from outside and it's well hidden too. But when we went inside we were warmly welcomed and given seat next to the fish tank. It was nice for them to give us a table which is a bit better and different for our anniversary.Food quality was good and portion size was generous. I really enjoyed their chow main and crispy aromatic duck.Overall it's a nice place with delicious food and service is good.
