Emperor's Kitchen Hillarys 顺

Most of the food in the menu are the same as other Chinese food but the way it's cooked make it different and stands out. Presentation is good, notwithstanding the atmosphere. Price doesn't lie.

I ordered the dan dan noodle $19 and it wasn't bad but certainly not what I was expecting. A coconut based broth with a very mild Sichuan pepper hit? Fortunately the other dishes the family ordered were tasty especially the green beans and pork mince, the Mongolian lamb and Shanghai beef. Mum and Anne enjoyed the Honey chicken. Half serves available for all mains. Reasonable service. I would probably have given the food 3 stars based on the noodles but the other Chinese dishes I tried elevate my score to 4 overall.

It's a bit of a fancier Chinese restaurant in the shopping centre that's nicely decked out and comfortable. We went for a dim sum lunch and in hindsight maybe not the most ideal if you're going for traditional Hong Kong style. The dumplings were good quality although not particularly stand out especially when you consider the higher price. Steamed items tasted good but for the fried items, the oil was heated too high leaving a darker colour and slightly bitter flavour. In my opinion, the price and limited variety doesn't make it a go to place for a dim sum fix. Maybe the regular mains dishes are better for this kind of restaurant. Cash is preferred so bring cash to avoid the card surcharge.

This is one of the best Chinese restaurants we've been to in Perth. The food was exceptional and came as a surprise despite reading the good reviews beforehand. We just weren't expecting it. The Honey Chicken is outstanding - generous portions of meat with minimal batter. We also enjoyed the stir-fried Udon noodles with chicken, which had amazing flavour and perfectly cooked al dente noodles. The entree soups were good, and the tea pot for one person literally had enough tea for three people! The restaurant has a fancy bar with an impressive cocktail menu. We're already looking forward to trying more dishes on our next visit!

First being here with family after a two hour trail walk. It’s such an amazing restaurant and definitely will come back again . The food and service are all great and we love every dish we ordered today .

Our favourite Chinese restaurant possibly the best one in the Northern suburbs. Delicious and satisfying dishes. Cosy and comfortable restaurant with good reliable service. Highly recommended.
