Went tonight to have dinner with the family we were there about ten minutes then we seen bed bugs!!! They legit were rude and were going to try and make us pay for a buffet we didn’t really even get to eat anything. The manager was very unprofessional !! The food we did get was cold and old. Do not recommend this place at all.

If going enter with caution me and my family wanted a buffet night for some good old Chinese figured we have been doing to this restaurant on and off for years get there had to move seats because you sink into the booths. Move to a table and in no time something was noticed crawling on my shoulder. And just out if this way these parasites are so hard to get rid of in the winter months. I hope they clean the place up. I kinda felt something was off when the fish fountain water looks so dirty and very low on water like it’s been weeks up to months of not cleaning it. But please if you go enter with very much needed caution

Service was great. Food here is so good and warm. I liked the Sushi here and the shrimp was my absolute favorite. I plan on coming back it was amazing!

Arrived shortly after 7 pm to find food that was hours old, only the sesame chicken was fresh. Soda was watered down and completely flat. No spoons, had to eat pudding with a fork. It’s probably decent if you’re there when the food is fresh, and the waitress was very attentive (of course there weren’t many people there). There’s a filthy koi pond and the whole place feels like it’s closed. It was much better 23 years ago.

The staff is always friendly and the food is more often than not pretty fresh as stay pretty consistently busy. I've been a long time customer there for years and look forward to many more years of eating there.

There was no hibachi grill and no sushi i was disapointed by the empty trays. Not sure if it was because it was lunch time or not.

Half of the lights were turned off making it kind of dreary. The food wasn't up to the standards that I encountered on previous visits. The noodles were dry, the chicken was overcooked making it dry, and the sushi looked like it had been sitting for a long time and we were afraid to even eat it and take a risk.
Last time I went to Empire Buffet, the majority of the food we selected was cold and felt like it has been out all day. I thought that maybe it was just a bad day and that I'd come at a bad time for lunch.
We decided to give it another chance for dinner the other day. Again, the majority of the food was old and cold. There were a few good dishes. The shrimp tasted like it was going to make me sick, and so I only ate a couple. The soup was colgealed. The fried chicken wings were fresh. The waitress was attentive.
A few years ago, it was always great. It has gone downhill since then.
