Lovely decor - very gold... but it gave me such a great flashback to some of the restaurants I've eaten at in China. Great service, although it can get loud at dim sum hour (around 1pm).
I thought the dim sum was OK, but I do prefer Li Wah's dim sum. Li Wah tends to serve more dim sum customers, so I think their food tends to be "fresher" and there's more variety. Emperor's unfortunately ran out of congee when we tried to order and there were "beef crepes" but not the iconic shrimp ones, for example. Also, I do like the carts that make their rounds at Li Wah, so it was a different experience without the cart system here. Given everything is ordered from the menu, everything also comes out together... so some food got cold before I could dig in. The cart system makes it easier to eat as you go and savor everything - but on the flip side, you also tend to miss certain foods by waiting for the carts and overeat in compensation - so pick your battle!
The dim sum variety here also tends to be on the sweeter side (Cantonese style), FYI.
