My husband and I have been coming here for over a decade and it has always been our favorite but tonight we ordered for the first time in 2ish months and had what we normally order here. Unfortunately it did not meet our usual expectations, the pork egg rolls were completely different and we did not like the taste at all. My husband said the crab Rangoon’s were just ok but weren’t how they usually are. The sweet & sour chicken seemed like it had been sitting awhile possibly because it didn’t feel like it had just been fried and it didn’t taste fresh. The white rice was incredibly dry and seemed like it was sitting awhile as well. The broccoli with the chicken & broccoli was not cooked down all the way and still very crunchy. The only thing that tasted alright was the sauce in the chicken & broccoli. Hopefully this was just a one time incident and not an indication of a permanent change in quality of food. Along with that I always ask and pay for extra sweet & sauce which I indicate to include while I’m ordering and I didn’t receive that either so service was also lacking tonight.

I have been getting food from Empire for years. Today 10/25 I ordered and picked up our usual. The pork lomein which contained very little pork, General Tso’s chicken which was super sweet, steamed dumplings were doughy and the inside meat/stuffing had a different texture, taste and meat was matted together. I called to see if the restaurant was recently sold. The old phone phone number I usually called rang busy the many times I tried. I googled the business and placed my order through a female who spoke perfect English. After eating I called back and spoke to a young man, who would not answer my question as to whether the restaurant was recently sold or if there was a change of ownership. The food does not compare, and is no longer my cup of tea.

This has always been my preference for takeout in the area, until today, I bought egg rolls, everyone of them tasted rotten, my combo plates looked old like leftovers and were bland and flavorless. My friend dumplings weren't fried at all and were drenched in oil. A complete waste of $40 and I still have have to go make food now.

Pick up restaurant. Hot and sour soup was good. Portion size is large. General chicken and sesame chicken was tough and cooked in the same sauce. The only difference was one had sesame seeds on it.

The food here is great and service is pretty good
Food is always very fresh and hot. Love getting the BBQ spare ribs and the General Tzos tofu. Texture of the tofu is always perfectly crispy!
This is the best Chinese restaurant. And the staff is absolutely fantastic. This is my favorite place and it's the only Chinese restaurant I go to
Great food
