My favorite chinese spot. Love their fried chicken wings
hot and sour soup is very delicious. if you like spicy have to let the chief know when you order
Wonderful service and nice people. Anytime the orders take a bit of extra time you know that your is going to be fresh. A+ Favorite Chinese resteraunt in the area.
Great food, for +15 years, always good
i can't speak for the other reviews on here. personally, it was the best chinese I've had in ages, and the prices were more than fair. The only negative thing I can say about Empire is that I wish they accepted debit.
My go-to local Chinese food spot. Great for takeout. The food is good quality and tasty. =) Friendly and attentive staff. 5 stars from me. I don't go anywhere else unless I'm out of the neighborhood(sheepsheadbay). Fried chicken wings with white rice is favorite. Five stars!

It's a good place.
Love this place. I'm particular when it comes to cetain things. Overall, food here is really good. I have had them deliver a portion of my order incorrectly a few times but you get a lot for the price.
The food is always fresh and delicious. There is plenty of room to set down and enjoy your food. The prices are reasonable and the staff is accommodating.
I like every food here except their noodle dishes; noodles are blend. Usually not so busy in the store. Reasonable price and portions.

While the place looks clean and nice the food is mediocre at most.

ORDER AT YOUR OWN RISK!!! THEY BROUGHT ME THE WRONG ORDER AND THEN TRIED TO TELL ME THAT IT WAS WHAT I ORDERED. THE LADY ON THE PHONE CALLED ME AN IDIOT FOR ASKING TO SEND ME THE CORRECT ITEM!!!
Dirty looking and very unfriendly, they need to be nicer, there food isn't much better either
I waited 20 minutes for a dish to take to go and I was off 20 cents and they still wouldn’t give to me. Terrible service.
When I got sesame chicken it tasted like pure fish
Delivery person tried to cheat me out of money talking bout tip you dont ask for a tip that's so rude never again

They are the cheapest chinese resturant and argue and give an attitude about everything. If you order a plate of food and want soy sauce they argue. The food is like anyother chinese food, only thing they open lil later than others but deff never going here again
HORRIBLE SERVICE. HOW DOES CHINESE FOOD TAKE ONE HOUR TO DELIVER?! On top of that, they are rude and don’t offer any apologies. Don’t bother with this place, try another spot.
Worst experience ordered chicken and broccoli got more Broccoli than anything else my other order vegetable lo mein No vegetables just noodles my eggroll wasn’t that much fried sitting down eating Well they’re making your order
I just got chicken w/ mix veggies to go. When I opened the lid of container the food was stinking 🤢 They used spoilt chicken. Apparently the cook tried to block the smell by putting extra amounts of sauce but it didn’t work! Gross!
Their food was terrible! We found rat droppings and roaches in the food!! Terrible food and never buy food here !
I didnt even order food because the lady is nasty! they want $9 for a chicken a broccoli combo they are crazy. business must be bad especially with a 2.9 star rating! Fix your attitude if you want to stay in business lady!
Look, to run a Chinese Restaurant in NYC requires only two conditions: fresh and tasty food. I ordered a large portion of chicken broccoli. The gravy and broccoli were fine - just like I had hoped. The chicken…….. already so past its expiration time it spoiled my entire evening. Sooooooo disappointing. If the food is not fresh, there is no need to stay in business.
Ill never order from them again. Ordered Sweet and sour pork. They sent the crusts with chicken inside instead of pork!!! whem I called to complain No apology just " we gave little chicken chicken good" I said I ordered Pork you cant just send chicken with out asking me first>> answer Chicken is good.. Bunch of crooks tried to get away with substituting chicken for pork in a dish when pieces are breaded and covered in sauce.. Avoid this Place,
Ordered food for the family, TWO egg rolls, broccoli WITH white rice and garlic sauce, FRIED vegetable dumplings, general so’s chicken, and pork friend rice. You would think it’s a simple order but I guess not for the people who work here. Took 3 HOURS for our food to be delivered and we are 3-4 blocks away from the place. When calling them they kept pushing 10 minutes, finally when it arrived we were missing both egg rolls, and the white rice but they did however throw in a soup, possibly mop watered down 🤔....Tried to call again and once I started talking they hung up. THE WORST CHINESE FOOD “RESTAURANT”. Literally go to any other place, the bill came to $64
