Went today for lunch with my hubby. The women who seated us didn't say a word nor crack a smile. The place is very outdated and needs a complete make over! Getting servers to take our order was very slow, but once they did food came quick. Wonton soup very doughy and was a bit cold. Beef & broccoli sauce super heavy General tsao had heavy batter, but was OK. Noodles & duck sauce were my favorite part.

I used the website to place an order and I picked it up. Ordering on the website was easy. I didn’t see any options for a drink. My order was ready in 20 minutes. I got the general tso meal, fried dumplings and wonton soup. General chicken was tasty but the inside was a little dry. But it was very tasty and the portion was a good size. Wonton soup was excellent! Fried dumplings were very good! Egg roll was very good.

Empire is definitely my place to go when I’m craving Chinese food. I usually order the chicken chow Mein and my Wonton In Egg Drop Soup which this is the only place that I feel makes the soup perfect. I just order Thai Basil Chicken , which I have to say it was delicious definitely be ordering that more often. All the years eating from Empire I never had a bad experience.

I came here because I just tooked a break doing UE deliveries and decide to go to a chincese place. When I ordered the Chow Main Shrimp and a tea, pay and wait patiently. When the girl at the front desk gaved me or receive the plate, for my surprise that looks like something else. For me it does looks like lobster sauce or something, plate looks slammy/sloppy and not apetizing and they didnt gaved me the tea that I request it. I went back to the girl and explain what kind of food is this one? She reply and told me that I maybe was thinking “Lo Main” and not Chow Main. But didnt offer an exception of exchange the correct plate. In addition to this the rice felt uncooked! Ive been 30 years in Staten Island and have ate chinese all my life. I dont know what kind of service is this but for sure I wont comeback! This is a restaurant with poor quality overall. I know because I am a Chef in NYC and I do UE on the side. I know what is good service and poor service in the kitchen. This is a poor service served.

Got the sesame chicken w/ egg fried rice and crab rangoons. Pretty tasty Very easy to order on their website.

For starters I am a regular customer and order from here ALL THE TIME LOL. And this is the first bad experience i have had I think its a bit ridiculous i ordered the mongolian beef with a side of white rice and only get 4-5 pieces of “beef” in a bowl full of onions and sauce. I called to ask why this was and all I got was the person on the other end being quiet and just repeating what I was saying. Its very frustrating to pay 15 dollars for a bowl of onions mixed veggies and sauce and get barely any protein. I usually order the beef pad thai and its delicious and always packed with protein. I know inflation is real but cmon this is not cool!
