One of the best meals I’ve had in a long time. Everything was so flavorful! We tried the broccoli noodles, bao buns, eggplant, and the honey glazed shrimp. Everything was out of this world.

Ordered online in the biggest snowstorm so far this year. checked out, paid $80 when I showed up to pick up my food they are closed! Not very happy about waiting 40 minutes to pick it up and driving 20 minutes. 30 minutes in a blizzard to support local restaurants and they aren’t even open yet they def Took my money on their ordering website. Super annoying. maybe turn off online ordering if you’re not even open!
Update: empire reached out and apologized and refunded me, asked for my address to send me a $25 gift card.

This place was awesome! It has been on our list of places to try and it did not disappoint. We loved our meal, the service was great. 12/10 would recommend. They also did great with my nuts and sesame allergy

Loved it here! I've tried to eat here multiple times, but the wait was so long each time. Finally got in today and it didn't disappoint! Our food was amazing! By far the best green beans over ever had in my life! Delicious! My only comment is that it waitress left during our service, which we didn't know, and no one really came to our table, we had to find people to help us when we needed it. So a few people helped us when we tracked them down. Just a lack of communication with us. They were busy for sure. Service could have definitely been better, but I'm sure this was an outlier experience. I would definitely come back to try again!

Don’t order takeout here for Christmas or New Years (when it’s take out only). They prepare dishes ahead of time en masse and fill orders in a production line. Food is cooked hours before you get it home. Ours was shriveled and cold. Biggest disappointment from Empire in years…if you cannot fulfill orders with quality, folks, don’t take so many. Biggest waste of $200 plus tip!

Used to love this place. Good atmosphere, questionable service, good food, reasonable prices. Service is till questionable, food quality has gone down, prices have gone up. Wrong direction.

Great food. Plenty of options to make everyone happy. Service was swift with dishes coming out very shortly after we ordered. I will happily go back for more.

would rate the food a zero if I could. I’ll just be honest everything about all aspects of the food tasted frozen or old. I got Kung pao chicken, the dumplings, and the duck lo mein. honestly just avoid the duck at all costs. it’s basically only shreds of duck and mostly duck fat covered in grease lol. the king pao chicken was way worse than panda express. overall lacked flavor and i swear everything had the same sauce on it. i deadass drove to dominos afterward. oh and also it was almost 80 bucks for 2😭😭
Very nice experience here. Good service. Great food. Ordered the Chinese sliced pork and rice. Excellent but it is much sweeter than savory. The shitake mushroom chive dumplings were out of this world. I also had the soup dumplings which were disappointing in the volume of soup in the dumpling. Three of them barely had soup in them. I also recommend the bacon fried rice. Ask for it with pineapple. Definitely a place we'll visit again.

Wonderful service and food. Enjoyed my anniversary dinner here. Though was disappointed with a Togo order. We had ordered a beef and broad noodle. It came with no beef. Was sad. Everything else was right! Will come back to retry the beef and broad noodle!

I spent $29.30 for the spring rolls and chicken. Great atmosphere. About a 15 minute wait. Food comes as it is cooked, a nice change from the usual.
