Editorial Review for Emperor Garden – by Citysearch Editors
In Short
A diverse crowd (everyone from Asian families in from suburbia to hungry downtown couples) passes through a gleaming marble lobby into a cavernous dining room. Unusual menu offerings include bean curd skin rolls filled with a variety of ingredients, stewed tripe with hot green chiles and lobster har gow (pillows of rice flour dough filled with big chunks of shellfish). Service is not as frenetic as some other dim sum palaces.

one of the ONLY two dim sum spots i would frequent in boston c-town area. decent dim sum, good rice/noodle dishes for sharing, large enough area to ensure seating in most cases. one can also take the time to reminisce the old days when this place was still a theater--they kept most of the interior decor. :)
Pros: decent food, T accessible (orange & green), ample seating
Cons: parking might be tough esp. on weekends

So, I know what the other reviewer means. Walking up the stairs, I commented to my friends that it smelled like a mixture of basil and garbage, Nonetheless, when we walked into the theater, we were blown away. We were not expecting that. . . Anyway, once we got upstairs, we couldn't smell anything unpleasant anymore. The drinks were good and reasonably priced, and the food was your average, tasty Chinese fare. It made for a very pleasant evening, and we will be going back. Can't wait to try the dim-sum.
Pros: beautiful theater, tasty kitschy drinks
Cons: smell in stairwell
