I will admit, my standards are pretty low for Chinese food, especially since there are a bunch of crappy local restaurants in the area that have made me sick before.
However, everything tasted good, especially the shrimp fried rice. I didn't think they skimped on the shrimp too much. I felt good after, my tummy wasn't yelling at me for eating garbage. Tummy knows best!
Good prices, I spent 21 dollars and had dinner plus 4 lunches for the week! The counter guy was also very nice. I'd come back here and/or order delivery.
**Vegetarians, please note their Hot & Sour soup does have chicken in it.
They have the least salty soups in the neighborhood. Delivery is fast. Portions are generous. I love the steamed healthy chicken and mixed veggies with the garlic sauce on the side and brown rice ($5.95). It is usually enough to satisfy me and is totally clean. Their tofu veggie soup with noodles is greta as an add on too, an dis only $4.95 for a quart. That is like 2 meals or for 2 people……
Sa far the best Chinese in the hood because it is the least salty and most reliable.
i generally don't like to review places where i've only gotten delivery because i haven't been there, but i will for empire based on my last encounter with them.
i used to order here because they had dumplings and other staple chinese takeout food was decent, so much so that even my boyfriend liked it (and he's a picky eater). however, the last time we ordered, my boyfriend said that not only was the majority of his boneless spare ribs burnt/inedible, but he also had food poisoning later that night. i called empire to remedy the situation, only to have the woman laugh and hang up on me.
never eating from here again. not worth running into food poisoning.
Good, enjoyed my take-out here.

The only thing I have had here so far is the hot&sour soup.
I thought this was delightful. Pretty spicy and sour with the right amount of corn starch. Nice pieces of tofu and egg drop swirls.
I do wish they made it right there in front of you, but it's good, close to me and $ 1.80
