I'm actually sad that I'm moving from the area because I FINALLY found an amazing Chinese food restaurant! I LOVE LOVE LOVE this place. The gentleman that always answers the phone is BEYOND sweet, respectful, just soooo nice! He never seems to get annoyed and never gives off a bad attitude. I came by to get my last 4 piece chicken wings before I move because they're the most crispy around. Thank you much for your unparalleled service!! U guys r the best! Fyi the ribs are amazing as well as the shrimp fried rice and beef w/ brocolli. Basically everything! Try it! And they always provide you with fortune coookie even if u just buy something small! Love them!!

I see photos that are actually from the Thai place next door. Could explain some of the reviews as well. Have been going to this local Chinese take out corner store for many years as management changed. Paying $8 for a lunch special of shrimp and broccoli with a soda only, smaller portion and the smell of uncooked shrimp with an unfamiliar sauce (not the routine delicious brown sauce that you usually see with the broccoli and rice orders). Was just disappointed and sad as I was very hungry for lunch that day.

Food was definitely not the best, got the chicken and broccoli in garlic sauce, the chicken and broccoli did not taste fresh and was covered in a sauce that was way too sweet to be considered chinese food. The restaurant is take out only, but honestly the price just is too high for what you are getting. Paid 13.25 for a soda, some slices of chicken and half a head of broccoli covered in sweet teriyaki sauce.

I ordered spring rolls and Wonton egg drop soup. Luckily I'm not allergic to anything because I got shrimp rolls. I couldn't complain because the rolls packed in so much flavor I had to overlook the error. It was absolutely delicious. The soup however was a bit of an issue. The broth and everything was fine except the wontons. I didn't like the meat inside. It didn't seem like pork and I would hate to think otherwise but I didn't eat it because something was off, way off.

My go-to place for chinese food. The food quality is good, could be a bit better. The staff is friendly and quick. The atmosphere is little dull, but it's not a problem. There's a good amount of seating available. You can call their number for delivery and their arrival time is ok ish. For example, I usually order sesame chicken and the delivery guy arrives within 30-60 minutes. Overall solid choice if you craving chinese food

This has got to be the nastiest Chinese food I’ve ever had. The food tasted like it was 3 days old. I ordered a simple chicken and broccoli and egg roll. The white rice looked and tasted hard and stale and the chicken and broccoli was watery, no flavor and rubbery. Never again. I wish I didn’t pay cash, I could’ve at least got my money back. Absolutely disgusting.

This is not the restaurant lmao, we arrived expecting a specific place but it's actually pictures of the place next door haha five stars for the hilarious unexpected restaurant and because the guy was really friendly and his food was pretty good. This place needs more attention. It's the spot next door to the fancy window lights …

  • Nathan Super

Been eating here for years and despite raising prices due to inflation this is the best bang for your buck place to grab a bite. The food is so good and filling. I did find a hair in my food years ago but still came back and have not had the same incident since. This place definitely deserves more recognition.

  • AlphonZeus

Had a really nice and quick ordering experience. Needed a large order for a beneral body meeting, and talking out the order in advance helped set up for pickup day. My friend who picked it up said to was easy and no hassle. Definitely would consider this place for ordering Chinese food for group meetings.

The foods here are really disgusting. I think it changed owner or something. I ordered chicken with broccoli, and the chicken had a weird smell to it. I throw away the whole order. I thought I gave the restaurant second chance, and same experience with meats that's gone bad.

  • Ariell Holland

I won’t be ordering here again. The wontons are so hard to chew. The sesame chicken is ok. The food is the same and will not be ordering here again

Pretty sub par Chinese food. It wasn't enjoyable at all and very very greasy. I found something crunchy like an egg shell in my fried pork dumpling, but was too scared to find out what was in there

  • On Pesantes

The best service and excellent food and to taste ( Not that salty ) their delivery is on time when they say it. Definitely Recommend this place is better then other ones in the neighborhood.

  • Mithun Nankishore

Empire lunch specials are inexpensive and totally hits the spot. Empire is better than your neighborhood Chinese food and they present it in a nice container.

  • Adrian Adams
