Emperor Palace Restaurant is a hidden gem for authentic Cantonese comfort food! 🌟 I visited with my family and was delighted by the fast service and fresh flavors. The salt and pepper spareribs were a highlight - crispy and perfectly seasoned! The fried stuffed tofu was a creamy indulgence, while the rock cod fish filet in clay pot had incredible texture.

While the ambiance feels a bit worn, the food makes up for it. I highly recommend this spot for a quick bite or meal with loved ones. Can’t wait to come back for more! 🍜
