Emperor of China   

It may be a bit hard to find this quaint Chinese restaurant, hidden in a strip mall in an unglamorous area of town, but once inside Emperor of China aims to treat customers like royalty. The servers can expertly prepare moo shu at tableside, which becomes a little show in itself. Most menu items fall in the category of middle-of- the-road Chinese, but if you ask for hot and spicy, be prepared to get what you asked for and then some. Emperor of China also offers an all- you-can-eat buffet. Special champagne dinners are a great deal, with 5 courses and champagne for only $12 a person. There is also a family dinner deal for less than $10 a person, plus meals can be customized for those who want low-fat, low- salt and no MSG in their food. Traditional Chinese decor, including beautiful wood carvings on the walls, add to the experience.--Sandra Schulman
