Emperor Restaurant | Wedding and Events

I am absolutely blown away by my experience at Imperator Restaurant! From the very first moment, I was greeted with the kindest, most attentive service. The staff were incredibly professional, warm, and welcoming — making me feel truly special and cared for throughout the evening. The atmosphere in the restaurant was magical — elegant, cozy, and full of charm. Every corner of the space radiated comfort and celebration. The ambiance was further elevated by the wonderful live musicians who filled the room with joy and energy, creating a festive mood that made the whole evening unforgettable. And the food… oh, the food! It was a true culinary delight. The Ukrainian and European cuisine served here is out of this world — every dish was cooked to perfection, rich in flavor, and presented beautifully. You can truly taste the love and skill that goes into every bite. A very special thank you to the incredibly talented photographer, who went above and beyond to fulfill every wish with such professionalism and creativity. Every photo captured the spirit of the evening so perfectly! Imperator is a place where every detail is thought through, and where every guest is treated like royalty. I couldn’t recommend it more highly — this restaurant is a gem and an experience I’ll treasure forever.

Only fantastic and positive things to say about this restaurant , owner and staff <3 We have been coming to Emperor for years, from regular Saturday nights out, to family/friend parties, and most recently- our Wedding!! The owner Lilya and her staff, especially Bogdan, were the most patient and kind people I have worked with. They listened to every request I had, and even if they were not able to accommodate it, they would make sure that there is another alternative. The food is absolutely amazing- fresh and tasty. The music and ambiance is a 10/10, and this is truly one of the best restaurants in Philadelphia!!!!

The food and service is amazing! We had the restaurant cater a party at our house and it was beyond what we expected. Not only was the food so delicious, but the service was very helpful. Set up and clean up was so fast and professional. It truly allowed us to enjoy our event with no worries and be able to be in the moment with our guests. We will use then again and again.

We were very pleased with the catering provided by Emperor for our Post Wedding Garden Party. Liliya was fantastic! She helped with the planning, made suggestions, always worked with our ideas, was able to make everything work. The food was delicious and plentiful. The servers were very professional. I can’ t say enough about the entire service!

The food was excellent. It's a beautiful restaurant. Wait staff are attentive and work hard. Music selection was enjoyable. We had a great time!

We went with Emperor Restaurant catering for my event this weekend. To say that we were blown away by the quality of everything - from planning, food, service, and creative touch is an understatement. This team is (from my experience) the most detail-oriented and special in this area! The servers really made everything we envisioned come to life, and they were so willing to work with us to make the event unique and special. Chef was amazing, food was amazing, presentation was amazing! Highly recommend for catering!

I want to thank the Emperor restaurant for celebrating my anniversary. Everything was at the highest level - food, service, music. It was tasty, fun and comfortable for us. Thank you very much. You are professionals in your field. Keep it up.

Absolutely amazing! The food is delicious, the staff is incredibly friendly, and the owner’s passion for what she does makes the experience even more special. Highly recommend!
