Empire Kitchen Albans Reviews
On behalf of The Center for the Women of New York, I want to extend our sincere gratitude to Empire Kitchen for their ongoing generosity and support of our Taste of the World at Fort Totten gala. Once again, they donated their delicious vegetable lo mein, which has become a beloved favorite at our event. The lo mein was perfectly prepared—tender noodles tossed with fresh, crisp vegetables in a savory sauce that was both light and full of flavor. It’s always a crowd-pleaser, and this year was no exception. Our guests eagerly enjoyed every bite, and many commented on how much they look forward to Empire Kitchen’s contribution each year. We deeply appreciate Empire Kitchen’s continued commitment to giving back to the community. It’s because of dedicated local businesses like theirs that we can raise essential funds to support women across New York. Their reliable support makes a meaningful difference, and it’s why we’re proud to highlight and recommend them. Thank you, Empire Kitchen, for your kindness, consistency, and outstanding food. We’re already looking forward to next year!

Great Chinese restaurant. Fresh and delicious.
I was craving BBQ spare ribs and they make them perfect! Juice, tasty and a great value for your money. Clean place, easy to order. Highly recommended
Super delicious and fresh! Food is always made to order; excellent Chinese food with quick delivery. Highly recommend!
My girlfriend and I love their food absolutely amazingly delicious we have been ordering food from their for close to two years. Best Chinese food in the New York area!
Best Chinese takeout food, consistent and efficient service
Best non-spicy pad thai in the area. My gf loves pad thai but the other great pad thai place BKNY is too spicy for her and Empire makes an extremely flavorful non-spicy pad thai.
Their food is never greasy or too salty. The food is always quality. My neighborhood go-to!
Best chinese around the area. Quality has been consistent for as long as I've been going which is over 15 yrs~
Best Chinese food in Bayside !
The Food is good and they give you what they want.
Not your average Chinese take out. Been here literally hundreds of times over the years. The food portioning is good for the price, and the taste is great and always looked forward to. Unfussy and simple, they even allow custom orders if you ask. The owners themselves live literally around the corner. Also check out the cool graffiti their landlord hires people to do every year on the outside wall.

Great Chinese takeout in the neighborhood. Always fresh never have an issue with the food. Young Chow fried rice is the best here. Boneless spare ribs fantastic. If you like noodle dishes get the house chow mein fun or alo Singapore chow mai fun.

The place use to really good changed the beef in the beef and broccoli to a cheaper cut instead of flank steak it's more like a beef round hard and chewy The food doesn't have very good flavor anymore I don't know if they changed but they used to be really good not bad but not good either

The service is absolutely horrible I’ve never had to write a review but this time I had to the food was burnt and the lady there was so RUDE it felt like I wasn’t welcomed she rushed me when I was ordering and when the food came out I was shocked the food was half burnt I thought it was some kind of joke but it wasn’t NEVER COMING BACK
Placed confirmed order with Grub Hub, when food delivery was not made 20 minutes past expected time I called and they said didn’t have order, then suddenly said they found order and they will make now - No Thanks Grub Hub just as bad provided no feedback..
Their food wasn't good the shrimp and broccoli look like left over that was over heated did really taste good wont order from here again bad food.🤭
bought shrimp lowmein today and after eating almost half, i found finger nail clippings in the food. i already call 311 and filled a complaint. avoid at all costs!!!!.
Gave them another chance after they screwed up previous order in the past. Ordered vegetable dumplings…it was missing dipping sauce. Specifically asked for mustard and chop sticks. They forgot?!?! Called back and she apologized. That doesn’t help!!! 🤷🏻♀️
