Ok so prepare yourself... We went in to the Emperor Buttet in Palm Springs tonight. We had seen it many times on our drive home from work and have been wanting to try it for a while. So we were pretty excited when we got there for dinner tonight. We got there at about 8:45pm. My 9 year old daughter, my fiance, and I were greeted with "We close at 10." I politely let her know that I am aware of that. She gestures for us to follow her and before even seeting us, she asks us to order our drinks. As we are eating I realize theres lipskick all around the ring of my cup... Only Im not wearing lipstick. I ask for the check and when waitress sets it down she says "Cash only." I had $23 dollars in my wallet and my debit card. After waiting for over 15 minutes for her to return from "talking to her manager" I decide to seek help myself. We walk up to the front of the resteraunt and see two ther groups arguing with the manager because they dont have cash. Keep in mind, we were never once told they didnt accept cards nor was there any sign indicating that they dont accept cards. When I finally get to speak to the manger myself, he is very rude and even cussing from frustration. He snatches my card away from me and attempts to charge it 4 times. When he finally accepts that it isnt going to work he says "Give me your cash." He snatches the $23 out of my hand and tells us to leave. Not only was the sevice awful, the food was no better. I am now at home with a stomach ache and nausea. I wouldnt wish this place on my worst enemy. Spend your money elsewhere.

I went around 4pm in on a Monday. Clean. Decent selectioN. Friendly helpful staff. Very busy. There was a lot of new sushis coming out. The food was just okay. Most of the entrees were generic an bland, the kung poa and pork were good. They had great pork buns, good soup, and meh rice/lo mein. The sushi was pretty and edible, but not the freshest. For a chinese buffet it was okay. I might come again if I really wanted a cheap chinese buffet, but there are way better optiona around for a different cuisine.

My cousin got food poisoning and vomited outside. The place is a bit beat down. The food was somewhat bland and meats were squishy as if they had been reheated. Employees seem indifferent and not as hospitable as you might expect. The price was total crap for the quality, and I was kind of scared to eat certain dishes. As crappy as the food is youd think they wouldnt charge you for drinks. My family could have eaten better at Panda Express. Dont let the fake reviews fool you!!

MY HUSBAND AND I ATE THERE FOR LUNCH 6-1-10 AT 1130. THE FOOD WAS HOT AND GOOD. (NOT GREAT) SO WE DRANK OUR WATERED DOWN RASPBERRY TEA,AND ATE. AS WE MADE IT DOWN DATE PALM LEAVING THE PLACE, MY HUSBAND HAD TO RUN IN A GAS STATION BATHROOM HOLDING HIS REAR END. I LAUGHED AND HE SAID IT WAS THE FOOD. I REALIZED AFTER ANOTHER 30 MINS WHEN MY STOMACH STARTED ACHING, THAT IT WAS THE FOOD. I DID MAKE IT HOME TO US MY OWN BATHROOM. BUT I MYSELF WILL NEVER EAT AT THIS PLACE.

I really dont understand any review under 3 stars for this place. For the money, it deserves five stars. Its not gourmet, its not fancy. If thats what you are expecting, you will be disappointed. But for the money, the food is good, some dishes even very good to great. And there is a tremendous variety to choose from. We eat there usually once or twice a week and have never had a bad experience.

Always Friendly staff, clean place, my go to buffet. Wishing I was that hungry all the time. Fast service for party of 20 or 2. Thumbs up for this place, even for picky eaters, healthy food and big selection of other items, always hot and changed regularly and no old food. That one guy that complained is an idiot and you can tell by how old he is... eagle eyes, more like crack head eyes.

Where do I begin! the food was old and has obviously been sitting out for at least a half an hour, the service was HORRIBLE the waiters werent even nice or pleasant to be served by and my family and i had been charged twice the amount we paid for our meal because we apparently didnt eat all of it! Well we didnt eat it because it was disgusting. Please, save yourself $10.00 and DONT EAT HERE!

Great for the price! Lunch is 8 something dinner is 11:99 and on the weekends its 12:99. They do charge double if you throw away excess food tho. I have no idea how they charge for drinks tho. We were 7 adults and 1 child and the charged us $109.10. It was pretty good tho. A good variety of seafood, sushi, they give u an option to cook your food for u, and the Chinese good it very good.

. Outstanding Value!! off-beat location.. so so parking... but worth it ( just after: "welcome to RANCHO MIRAGE" -sign) on left --- on Hwy 111.. Rancho Mirage/ just past Cat City pleasant decor / curtious staff / excellent array of choices! Some items are on par with Mr. Chow in Bev Hills!.. try the BBQ ribs or soup topped a Won Ton noodles. fresh salad bar, Worth a look!

Visiting from England and having past the Emperor Buffet several times, we decided to call in. We found a clean, friendly ambiance, attentive Staff and an abundance of good, well prepared food. The number of choices exceeded our expectations and everything was hot and beautifully presented. Would give highest recommendation to lovers of Chinese food.

I felt like I was being watched the whole time I was there. The girl was just staring at me and my family eat. We felt very uncomfortable the whole time we were there. We werent even finished with our plate and she wanted to take it away. Very unprofessional service. Food was delicious as always , customer service not so much.

This was the worst Chinese food Ive ever eaten!! When we went to the cashier to contest the$22.50 bill we received. They had the audacity to tell us that we were fortunate that they didnt charge us DOUBLE(they actually have signs posted) for wasting food. How is it wasted when its not edible. WTF DO NOT RECOMMEND EVER!!!!

I was really hungry and it was right next to my hotel. It has more variations and choices than I expected and the quality is 5 stars. I gave 1 star less, because I did not like the ambiance. ... I would not go there with friend to have a nice evening, but for families and like I was, very hungry, thats the PLACE!
