Emperor's Buffet

One afternoon my husband and I came to eat Chinese buffet and was excited to visit a new place. Broccoli chicken and hot and sour soup are my favorite items. The parking lot was mainly empty and we was the first in the door for a minute. Drinks i ordered was water with lemon and starry. The dogs machine has been turned down so much that even when switched to Pepsi it still was only colored water. From our table it looked like only half the steam table worked. We should had left when the drinks kept coming wrong. Instead we was eager to taste some Chinese food and an all you can eat buffet. There was no soup offered. The chicken for sweet and sour chicken was hot, and dry. The fried dumplings were hard all over. The steamed dumplings had been there so long they left parts behind when picked

Not really bad, but not really good. The selection was good with all the typical Chinese buffet dishes. Lots of variety. Some of the food had a stale taste: not like it was dangerously old, but just kind of stale. They did have real ice cream that was good and firm, not melted. Chocolate and vanilla. Good! Anyway,we were happy to find a Chinese buffet in Shawano, Wisconsin. Open Sunday. $15.00 per person. Cash.

Went to Emperors last night and the food was absolutely horrible. The fried shrimp was not deveined. The chicken wings tasted old and freezer burnt and the egg drop soup, you would be better off making it yourself. This place has seriously gone down hill over the years and is not worth the money.

Good food/Great Service. We are not locals and learned about it by Google Maps by typing in Chinese Buffet in the search. We were there on an off peak time (4:30 pm). Every worker had a defined role. One person was cleaning the windows outside the building. Another was meticulously wiping down EVERYTHING on each table (table/salt/pepper/soy sauce/napkin dispenser). A third worker was talking over a microphone with kitchen staff regarding restocking buffet items and also directing incoming customers and handling the cash register. You can look at the pictures I posted of the well stocked buffet that tasted good. The one "weird" thing about the food arrangement was that the white rice was located along a back wall next to the soups (opposite wall) away from the buffet warmer foods.

Went there in summer of 2025, it was 12.95 per person. Called in fall of 2025. Was told 39.95 per person over the phone. Made them repeat it 3 times. Called Jan 2026, was told. 13.95. Think they just Charge what they want to Charge. We will no longer be eating here.
