Empire East is a popular spot for Chinese food, featuring a spacious and clean atmosphere. The restaurant offers a variety of vegetarian options, with dishes that can be easily customized to remove meat or other ingredients. The menu includes a Pan-Asian section, as well as other choices. Known for its brown rice option, Empire East serves both white and brown rice. Customers often praise the BBQ spare ribs for being tender and smoky, while the Kung Pao chicken is highlighted for its crispy veggies and perfect spice. Many appreciate the friendly staff who recognize regular visitors, creating a welcoming environment. However, there have been concerns regarding online ordering, as the restaurant does not accept credit cards, and customers have reported being charged more than the prices listed online. Despite these issues, Empire East remains a favorite for those seeking hot and fresh Chinese food, along with homemade traditional hot mustard.
