Empire East Staten Island Reviews
I usually order out, and the foods arrives hot and fresh. The food is good and you get plenty of it. They have a huge variety to select from. The delivery drivers are all very friendly and respectful.
The food here is amazing I have several favorite dishes one is their pineapple fried rice the other is there giant shrimp soup I could go on and on quality food
We had a great experience at Empire East in Oakwood! I ordered the General Tso's chicken and my wife had the mango chicken salad—both dishes were very flavorful, fresh, and delicious. Portions were generous and everything was served hot and nicely presented. The staff was friendly and the service was quick. Overall, it was a really enjoyable meal and we’re happy to recommend Empire East to others. We’re giving four stars and will definitely be back!
You can always expect a great meal here. The staff is friendly, and if you eat in, the tables are clean. Some other recent reviewers complained about the "high" prices, but I think the prices are reasonable. (I cannot think of any restaurant (or any other business, for that matter) where prices have not gone up). Highly recommended.
I’ve been thinking about this noodle soup for weeks! Came back again to dine in for the first time. I ordered roasted pork and shrimp wonton noodle soup. (egg noodle, my fav) The price was around 17-. It is quite pricy but it’s a big portion.I have ton of left overs. I’d save the soup, roasted pork, wontons for later since the noodles would get soggy if you save it with soup. Workers are kind and nice. The ratings are underrated! Good to try if you are craving healthy chinese food. 👍🏼
One of the few Chinese food places I really like. The place is clean, comfortable, good food, decent prices, and friendly service. I tend to get their noodle soup and the portions are big. The decor is interesting cause it feels more like something you would see in a club but it’s nice.
They maybe the best Chinese food on the island. It's a little pricey but you're getting TOP quality. The other day I tried the salad and I was amazed. The produce was fresh and the shrimps were delicious and cooked perfectly. The dressing they out in the salad was fresh and you can tell was home made. They have a wide variety of Asian cuisines and I have enjoyed them all.
Empire East is hands down my favorite Chinese food spot so far! Yes, it’s a bit on the pricier side, but totally worth it—you can really taste the quality in every dish. I usually go for the General Tso’s with vegetable fried rice or white rice, or sometimes chicken and broccoli. Every time, the food is rich, clean, and full of flavor. They’re super fast with preparing orders and delivery, and the staff is always respectful and professional. I haven’t dined in yet—I’ve always ordered takeout or delivery—but they’ve never disappointed. Highly recommend if you’re looking for quality Chinese food!
I’ve been ordering from this restaurant for years and the food has always been top notch. Tonight I ordered chicken and Brocolli in Garlic sauce and a separate sautéed brocolli for my daughter who is vegan. They sent a sautéed brocolli and another brocolli with no chicken. When I called to tell them they didn’t believe me and then asked that I send a picture to show them. This really left me with a very bad feeling. After reviewing the picture they decided they would send another order but, they wanted the incorrect order back! I don’t know why were they going to serve it to someone else?? I am very disappointed and felt like they were treating me as if I did something wrong when it was their mistake. This place is very expensive and has the worst customer service ever! Even though the food is usually good I won’t be ordering from them any time soon. I guess they never learned the customer is always right!!!
Fast service, good looking, BLAND food. It doesn't taste bad or anything But having eated. Few dishes here i can say that it's all kinda lacking in flavor
The pork egg foo young is horrible, I could barely chew the pork and it was very greasy! The one on Richmond is just as bad and the women up front are rude! Expensive for no reason and lacks quality...almost $20 for some egg foo young is RIDICULOUS...
food is overpriced and not good at all. The place is dirty and they did not pass the food inspection. The boss is also very rude, do not go here. There are places way better than this. The place isnt the same as it used to be after they got a new owner. The new owner is a mess
I’m deeply disappointed with the way they answer the phone. It’s incredibly disrespectful. I won’t be coming back here again, and the food is overpriced anyway.
I went into the restaurant near closing time with my friend, and I asked the owner to sit down and eat. I asked the owner nicely to eat just for 10 minutes, and he grabbed my untouched food and threw it out into the garbage. I am disgusted by their service and would not recommend!!
Awful customer service. I called because I was unable to check out on the website with the promo code they offer and they said it was expired. Ummm it’s on the website how can it be expired. They did nothing to help when the right thing to do would be to honor the coupon. Take your Buisness elsewhere to people who actually appreciate it!
