🥹 We need your help making Emperor Puff history.
We’re looking for the official way to reheat our puffs at home. Maybe it’s an oven, air fryer, or something else?

You asked, so we decided to extend our puffs hours until 10pm. Tag a friend who has never tried it before ➡️

Do you think we should host tours downstairs to try the meat before it’s hung up on the window?
Thanks for stopping by Broadsheet Sydney G(eee) TURCO ✌️

Well, hello there. This morning was a bit different in Chinatown. Everyone was happy. Our chefs, our staff, the ATO, and now we want to bring you back some happiness. Today, we tested out our machine, and I think we’re ready to officially open back up tomorrow. See you at a BBQ shop on 213 Thomas Street, Haymarket, NSW, 2000.

Emperor’s Garden 2.0 open on Thomas St (we’ve been open since 1991, but google reviewers only gave us 2.6 stars, so no one gives us any love…maybe we can change that and win your love?)
