Emperor's Buffet is a great value for $18 for lunch! There is Mongolian cook station, sushi bar, lots of Chinese dishes, fruits, salad, soup bar, and ice cream! Tasty as well as fresh! I would recommend this as perhaps the best Asian Buffet in Palm Springs region!

This is a very nice buffet. Lots of variety of food options and order-to-cook items. Majority of the items were either very good or great! Namely, the sushis are the best items they have, the spring roll, teriyaki chicken, spicy chicken and baked delight are particularly great. However, stay away from the pizza. I only tried it to see how bad it is, and it was pretty bad. But the same can not be said about the rest of the items as they’re pretty great! For a group of 5, we paid $120 on a weekend, so the price is great, especially given that it’s a buffet. The service is also great. The items are filled fast, and if you need your plate taken away, they will take it away quickly. This place is a MUST TRY!! Just make sure to stay away from the pizza.

Went for our sons 12th B Day. Love the food, had a very nice waitress. We will definitely be back again.

Don't judge a book by its cover. The food was surprisingly good considering the amount of customers circulating mid afternoon. All you can eat $26 per adult, 6-8 yo pay $10 (price as of Sunday before Memorial Day in 2024). You can pay per weight if taking out. Everything I tried was tasty. Plenty of sushi, great desert options, including ice cream, jello and fruits. You can't go wrong.

From the outside, the place does not look much. It has a huge parking lot around the restaurant. A huge restaurant, friendly servers, and a very generous selection. The egg drop soup, steak, dim sum, crab legs, and fried chicken were good. Lots of good deserts too. Loved the place. Would come back again.
