To be honest, when we realized Rolling Pot (cheap and quick) was gone, we stood outside looking at reviews because Emperor looked empty and questionable. We tried it out anyways and it was a pleasant surprise! Servers looked a bit intimidating however, they were super nice and quick to bring the food out. Good options and the beef was really good! Most hotpot places have below avg meat or charge you more for good beef. Slightly pricier but you get what you pay for!
