Food is mediocre, fried rice with the meal is lacking and is basically rice, no other ingredients. , where’s vegetables? Sweet and sour chicken has no pineapple, o ions or peppers. , o flavor . honestly, I am over this place. Won tons were stale too.kids Shrimp was all thick batter, little shrimp inside heavy batter. Gross.

The food is amazing!!! I mean literally everything on the menu is amazing. The food is cooked to order, they will add spice or remove spice, veggies whatever….the Char Siu Pan melts in your mouth it is so tender. THE absolute best Pork Fried Rice I’ve ever had….it has a few bean sprouts in it….and let me just say….it is a meal in and of itself!!! And their First Asian Soup has chicken, pork, beef, shrimp, wontons and veggies….I have dreams about this soup….again….a meal by itself….and let me just say, Ms. Tweety is just the jewel on top.

For 20 years Tony and his family have cooked up the cleanest food with natural food. Well worth the wait.

Mid week late lunch. Server anxious for us to order and somewhat abrupt. I don't cook much but I could have made a tastier meal.
Best Overall Chinese Restaurant on the Northshore. Excellent choice for a fast and tasty lunch.

We always wanted to try this restaurant but they are closed on Sundays. We went on Saturday evening, there were wait lists but we sat down pretty quickly. The food was very good, but the service was little slow because it was busy. My favorite was the egg rolls!

I have always enjoyed Northshore Empress. The service has always been impeccable. I was disappointed in our last visit because the service was very slow. It wasn't particularly crowded so I'm not sure why it took so long for our orders. We ordered the eggrolls as an appetizer and they were fantastic. We finished our appetizer and it took at least thirty minutes before our entree was brought out. To add disappointment, my entree was incorrect. I didn't complain because I didn't want to wait another thirty minutes before receiving the proper order. The cost of the two entrees was the same so I just ate what was brought. The food was good as usual. We will return because everyone can have a bad night. Hopefully things will be back to normal.

This was my first visit and at lunch (1:00pm). Had Thurs special sweet n sour chicken and Kung Bo Chicken. Generous portions nicely presented. Great quality chicken; however, there was no flavor in the chicken itself. Sweet n sour tasted more like it was right out of the bottle. Kung Bo was good and very well garnished but no better than an average buffet. The three won tons served with each meal were nice and thick. They were nice and huge! Two were getting on the stale side. Hot tea is served in nice big heavy mugs with one refill. Clean bathroom. Beautiful glass etchings on the room dividers. I see a lot of great reviews on some of the other dishes so I'll probably go back for a second meal.
