Empress Restaurant

Ordered wings, fried pork dumplings and lomein and they were ALL a NO. Everything was just bad in every way those things can be bad. The end.

Well the cheese puffs were generous and delicious the main entry sesame chicken was inedible. Strange flavor very little sauce and odd textured chicken. Throw away $18 worth of chicken. The portion was large but that doesn't mean anything if I can't eat it

I came here about 15-20 years ago and it's changed dramatically. Looks different than I remember. But I do remember the excellent lo mein. It's always been a standard for me. I can't eat anyone else's. I requested Rice Noodles instead of the larger noodles that came with the dish. Trust me, you want to try that when you dine here. My mom closed her eyes in ecstasy with her first bite LOL. She said it's AH-MAZING. The only reason I would deduct a star would be the shitty attitude from the women who took our order. She served us the food with the same attitude. We didn't even thank her because ... why? She wouldn't have acknowledged it anyway. Will come here again in another 15-20 years, hopefully with friendlier staff.

Decided to try a new place for take out- and I am so glad I didn't I ordered a feast so we would have left overs, and it was soGood there's hardly anything left. I got shrimp lomein (although I will try the suggestion of the rice noodles next time), moo gu gain pan, orange shrimp and a children's fried shrimp. First of all- this lomein sauce is so freakin good. So good. The shrimp are not super fishy like they can get- they're cooked perfectly. And the portion is bananas. The moo gu gai pan was super tasty. Vegetable mix was perfect, sauce consistency was just right. Orange shrimp will probably be better dining in. It sat in the sauce for too long while traveling and the breading was soggy. But it was still really good, and we finished that no problem. Super tasty. I got it in MEDIUM heat, but I think if we get it again I will up the spiciness. Medium really was medium- I've been literally burned before by inaccurate spiciness claims. But these guys really hold true. Kids shrimp was really good. Perfectly fried. Very much enjoyed. There was egg rolls and friend chicken in a paper bag that was either something that comes with it or a little extra razzle dazzle, that was much appreciated. Two ramekins of sweet and sour to dip whatever we wanted in- wonderful. I am so happy I decided to try this place, and it will not be the last.

I don't know if the food is good or not because before I could eat it a roach was found in the sauce. So I'm a better save than sorry type of person so I had to throw everything away.

Competent food, good portions, relatively cheap prices. Meh as leftovers. 3.3 - Chicken, general Taos3.5 - Chicken, Kung pao. 3 - Smoothie, strawberry. Taste like real strawberries not flavoring.

I ordered the Singapore noodles and the 8 dumplings through Uber Eats. It wasn't bad, but there were a few things they could do to improve. The Singapore noodles could use more curry and more spice. Mei fun is a spicy dish, and I really like a dish that is supposed to be spicy. Without the spice, it's almost like you're eating house lo mein on a diet. Good portions though, and the food was stove hot. The shrimp, I thought, could've been cooked a tad bit longer and gotten some more color. They were edible though. Watch the salt levels in this dish. The dumplings were about as average Chinese-American restaurant as you'd expect. All in all, I'm satisfied, but I do want to see it get better.

Ordered pepper steak today and was bland no salt not even Pepper had more vegetables than steak the veggies needed more time to cook were almost raw. The eggrolls and spring rolls were amazing The General chicken was okay would only go back for the rolls ‍

JUST TRY IT. This place is so good. Big portions, cheap prices. Don't get better than that.

New review, because I have returned several times and found service, food, and cleanliness to have been consistently good. I am in love with their vegetable soup and get about two large orders a week since I otherwise shirk veggies.
