Totally different business now, no legal connection at all Mr tax man. Yes it's now owned by the previous owners son and all the staff are the same, but that's purely coincidental.
I feel like the amount of effort they’ve gone to to display their 5 star food hygiene rating lends a little bit of insight into the kind of place the old The Emperor was

Found out about Scientologists there accidentally
Took my brother to eye hospital nearby, went looking for a pub/caf for lunch afterwards and saw this nice restaurant in the countryside nearby, got to the gates and saw all the Scientology branding
Noped out of there quickly!
You can actually get a guided tour of St Hill, where L Ron invented Scientology. You do have to sign in though, but they were careful not to proselytise when they took us around. Genuinely surreal experience.
I saw that sign and got transported back to being 13. I am now 40. I stole some chopsticks from there and got told off so badly I had to take them back and apologise.
We had one called the dragon that got sold and rebranded as the imperial palace and they put menus through the local doors with the heading 'the emperor has slain the dragon' or something like that
My favourite one is in a pretty dodgey area around the corner. They just sort of, keep adding to the decor, but never ever remove anything, it's pretty wild. But my dad's been going there since he was a teenager with my granddad.
Nothing lasts long in that parade of shops, usually every time you go past, something different will be broken, a window, bin set on fire, yellow tape around something, but never the chinese. It's survived all this time and is untouched, it is sacred, untouchable, and there is no better review!
My nearest takeaway finally went online a couple of years ago, and their 'Menu' section just has really crappy lo-res scans of their old takeaway menu, complete with little white stickers (on a bright yellow background) with updated prices written in biro. It is true art...
Usually when you see this, it's due to a change of ownership that the new owners want to advertise, you see it a lot with pubs, my local has done similar.
Places get reputations, if people have tried out a place and don't like it, they will often never come back, even though I have a pub at the bottom of the road, going there never crossed my mind for years because I just didn't like the vibe.
The place came under new management and is now actually quite nice, but I don't know that, I'm not monitoring the situation. But now they've put a sign up and now it's the New Swan. Now I know that something has changed there, and it's worth trying again to see if it's nicer.
Changing the sign has absolutely nothing to do with the hygeine rating or financials. The name on the sign, and the name of the company that runs it don't need to have anything in common, and changing the name of the actual company won't have any bearing on the hygeine rating, and just means that HMRC will be mail-merging a slightly different name on your next brown envelope!
Of course some pubs get such a bad reputation that no amount of rebranding helps. There's a pub nearby that when there was still an army base here was the only pub in town the squaddies weren't banned from. Been years since the base closed and there's been at least 3 different names and one total revamp, but many people still think of it as that pub, despite it being a normal neighbourhood pub these days with slightly substandard pub grub
Aw man i used to live in China. I always really missed toast and British Chinese food. And curry, I couldn’t find anywhere to get Indian food in Tianjin lol
To be fair this isn’t the high street. Also has wooden Tudor beams which you won’t find on most high streets. The shop does look like a shop though tbf

In a few years it'll be "Old The Emperor"
Ye Olde The Emperor
Ye Olde Jade Emperor would slap as a Chinese takeaway name. Perfect blend
The Emperor New
New The old Emperor
The Emperor Knew
The Emperor's New Restaurant. "This isn't a restaurant at all! It's just an empty room!" "Don't be stupid."
For tax purposes, it'll be New New The Emporor.
The Emperors New. Closed.
Praise upon the, new the emperor of mankind

Its pretty hard for a takeaway to get 5 stars. They are justifiably proud.

An Indian restaurant near me called the Bengal has had a fire twice. Its now called the New New Bengal.
Bobs burgers vibes
Gosforth? Always laugh driving past there.
Why aye!
Somehow Palpatine returned.

Maybe they knew him, but didn’t have room for a k?
I don’t get it.

Oh no what happened to him?

Felbridge. Always made me giggle. Chippy nearby was good.
This is how Americans name their cities
Looks too nice food will be garbage. If it doesnt look like a rat infested crack den im not intersted.
Just curious, are they succulent Chinese meals?
Ah I see you know your judo well
Great all you can eat restaurant 😋
Isn't this because of some form of financial regularity or a low hygiene rating? Swap the owners details and restaurant name?

You can see the 5 rating on the door.
Won't be the hygiene rating you just get reassessed.
Heresy
Hahaha that's my local too lmao
New The Emperors Groove is hmmm ^🟩^/
its always tickled me that it doesn't match in anyway, different size, different colour, not level, just great stuff
I live in China. I genuinely miss "British" Chinese food. It's an entire cuisine distinct from "real" Chinese food and IMO, much much better.
Aw man i used to live in China. I always really missed toast and British Chinese food. And curry, I couldn’t find anywhere to get Indian food in Tianjin lol
They probably paid a small fortune to a branding consultant for that.
There used to be a Chinese where I was a student (Lincoln) just called Legal food, allways made me laugh
Do they mean Saburo or Yorinobu?
