We're visiting from out of town and on our last night here we drove by and, as a family, decided we were coming here. The food was good. The service was amazing. My wife loves her crab legs, and after she had sampleed the rest of the food, she went straight for the legs. She sent me back for her second plate of legs and they were out. The guy at the sushi station saw me looking for them. We made eye contact and smiled at each other after a couple of trips looking for the elusive crab legs. We were ready to leave when the guy (I wish I had gotten his name) came to find me to let me know they had put some more out. It made my wife's night. Did I mention she loves her crab legs? I definitely recommend it.

Love this place. Our group has had meetings there are several times and they have been very accommodating. Buffet items are always hot and fresh. They even have crab lakes. Even though this is a Chinese , I love the Sushi, especially the smoked salmon. Staff is very friendly and remembers you if you are a returning customer.

This was genuinely the most unseasoned food I've ever eaten. The chicken was completely white like it had nothing put on it.

The food is good that's why we always go back but, the restaurant itself is shabby and dirty. We purchase parking there for the basketball ball games all season because it's convenient. The owner/manager is very short and rude EVERYTIME! She obviously hates her job.

I ate at Empire Buffet on my way south on I-5. I've been to many buffets in my time but have to admit, Empire has to top the list. Every thing was hot, fresh and delicious. The Peanut chicken was out of this world as was the Mongolian Beef. The only dish that wasn't hot were the green beans but that doesn't keep me from giving Empire Buffet a 5 star rating. I can't wait to go there again on my next trip ?Parking: Easy parking
The food was very bland . The only good food was the banana pudding. The service was horrible. When you go to a restaurant you do not expect to be reprimanded for failing to tell the staff how many in your party. This snooty old lady sat there and said to us how we should have told the staff because otherwise where would people sit when there was plenty of room . Plenty of seating in the front and back. She acted as if we were taking up the whole restaurant when there was only 6 of us. When we had asked for drinks she acted like it was a burden to get some extra drinks. The his is our first and only time we will ever eat here.

10/10 would not recommend! I had went went here a couple years ago and I did not have a terrible experience so recently me and my girlfriend had decided why not try it out, you only live once. Oh boy was that a bad idea. Had sushi and it tasted like cat food all rolls are made with imitation crab and fake fish. Had sweet and sour chicken and it was tough, cold and stringy the sweet and sour sauce was cold. The breaded shrimp wasn't too bad but the best thing I had was the ice cream kinda hard to mess that one up. Would not recommend and will not be coming back. Food is old, poor sanitation and just overall bad hygiene and health I hope a health inspector gets in here and shuts it down or puts them in place because this is unacceptable and very gross place to have food.
