Absolutely amazing food! Everything came out at different times, which I know can seem stressful, but trust the process! Waiting an hour and ten minutes, but so glad I waiting. Couldn’t ask for better food all around. Our server Al was personable and professional, a total pro at his craft. Can’t wait to come back again!
Love Empire! Always fantastic!
Such a great experience to have the opportunity to try gluten-free dumplings (my first time ever getting to eat dumplings). They were very yummy! It was indeed popular ~5:30 pm when we arrived on a Wednesday and there was a bit of a wait but when we left ~7:15, it was open

Empire Chinese Kitchen offers an exceptional dining experience with outstanding service. The restaurant excels in accommodating dietary restrictions, particularly gluten-free options like gluten-free dumplings. The menu features a wide variety of dishes, including soup dumplings, fried noodles, rice, eggplant, green beans, and bao, all made with fresh ingredients. Standout dishes include the orange beef, garlic green beans, pork belly buns, and eggplant. The garlic green beans are especially praised for their burnt parts and smoky flavor, while the duck lo mein is recommended with chili oil for added taste. The tofu buns and chive shiitake dumplings are also highly regarded for their unique and delicious flavors. Although parking can be challenging in Portland, the restaurant has plenty of tables, so there is no need to worry about seating. The generous portions and great prices make Empire Chinese Kitchen a highly recommended destination for a memorable meal. The interior is clean, if not fancy, and the service is quick, polite, and friendly. Despite occasional wait times, the fresh food and authentic flavors make it worth visiting again.
