Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

A good find. Duck was fresh and well cooked and spiced. Sliced beef was beautifully soft and well seasoned. Squid tasty and lightly battered. Steamed rice and noodles good. Overall a good meal and recommended

Delicious! I can’t fault the quality or value of the food we ate. The beef was soft and succulent. Fish was fresh and cooked to perfection. The best Chinese I have eaten.

What a great Chinese restaurant. Small menu perfectly executed. The staff are so polite and friendly, nothing is too much trouble. Very reasonably priced for such quality food. Highly recommended.

Nicest staff ever. Peking duck to start, perfect. I went a bit off menu for mains and asked for mixed meat and prawn kung pao. Not a bother at all, huge portion of beef, chicken char sui and prawns, great sauce. Wife had roast pork...and beansprouts, again thoroughly delucious. Decent prices, well worth a visitMore

I've stopped going out for Chinese meals as they all seem to be much of a muchness and the food doesn't particularly excite me. However I was in Bristol with my sister & niece and it was decided that we should go for some Chinese...food. I googled "best Chinese restaurant in clifton" and the Emperor Court came up so I booked it. We werent disappointed, the food was delicious the only thing that K was disappointed about was that I couldn't squeeze more food in! I'm just gutted now that there's not one near where I live in Manchester. I would highly recommend it!!More

Been a good few years since we last visited Emperor Court but it was well worth coming back. The restaurant is very old fashioned and a bit tatty and perhaps a little bright in there. We ordered duck to start followed by fried noodles with...spring onions, Szechuan prawns and beer with ginger and spring onions. All the food was reasonably priced given the portion size and very fresh and tasty. Service was very friendly but a little slowMore

Such a warm welcome back! Always such good food, the set meal was varied with many courses and absolutely delicious with so much of it! (All with a no fuss swap out of a main due to not eating that meat too). It has got...to be the best Chinese food in Bristol. Very much look forward to next time.More
