Empire Asian Bistro

Was eating their Lomein and halfway through found a large bandaid that was used and very unclean in the dish. I feel like I have to inform people to be very cautious with this place. Never in my 37 years of life have I had an issue this severe with my food.

So phoenix is littered with all different Chinese buffets, restaurants etc. You don't have to go far to find a hit or miss. I don't recommend the food here. I'm not real picky but hey, I took 3 bites and was done with the lunch special Mongolian beef. When the beef feels like a piece of soft chewy rubber, I'm done. Is it really beef? Who knows, but when any singal food dish comes out for a first visit and it's not good, I'm done and don't want others to experience the same. Even the sweet and sour sauce could barely be tasted on the egg roll. This is a no go for me. Where is McDonald's, I'm heading over.

Pauline.... what a nice, down-to-earth Lady! Stopped here for lunch and they have lunch specials that I like. Upon entrance I noticed the decor to be a bit odd but homely, as they have furniture that one might have in a home. The service was fast and the food taste fresh and prepared well. I liked that since we ordered to go, they separated the sauce so that we could add it over the food ourselves which was perfect for not having a bag with leaks. This is a good spot to go and grab lunch since they have reasonable prices I'd go again when/if in the area again.

We are from out of town and it was late so most place already closed so we decided to give them a try. Foods were horrible. The Salty Fish & Chicken Fried Rice has this weird stink to it. And no it is not because it's the dry fish. Im Asian and I have had plenty of dry fish in my lifetime yet nothing ever taste like that before. Everything was bland and tasteless.

This is honestly the worst Chinese food I've ever had in my life! The service was good because we were the only people in the place. The crab Rangoons were good. The egg rolls were good. The egg drop soup needed some doctoring up to make it tolerable. The BBQ pork slices were the worst ive ever had, so fatty. The sesame chicken was mediocre at best. The fried rice was disgusting, tasted burnt. The white rice was terrible. I'm not kidding, the WORST food ever.

Very disappointing. I was in the area and it's a chilly cloudy day so I thought it would be a good day for some hot and sour soup. I walked in and no one was in there eating. Should have been my first clue. I ordered the large hot and soup with some crab rag-goons to go. While I waited for my food one of the employees just started talking to me. Asking how my day was, I said good thank you. How about yours? She says good. She asked if I got a menu with the coupon I said yes I did and she says sorry I asked. Then turned around and stopped talking to me. After tip, I paid $18. Once I got home I take out my soup to see Majority of my soup was broth. Two pieces of tofu. Some carrots. Maybe a zucchini. As for the taste, it had a weird sweetness to it. Definitely not the usual hot and sour soup I'm used to. I added some tofu I had in the fridge to add substance. But it didn't do good and ended up throwing it away. Crab Rangoon's. Came 6 to an order. But tasted kinda sour. Not sure if it's old cream cheese? They looked crispy but had a weird texture. So $18 in the trash. Definitely not going back. Even with a $10 coupon.

Outstanding. Best crab Rangoon I've ever eaten. Service was exceptional. The Honey shrimp is wonderful with the freshest broccoli and sauce that is memorable. Leftovers too, as the portion was large. The Mongolian beef appeared enough for 4 meals along with a generous bowl of steamed rice. Planning to return for more in the near future. Thank you, Empire.

Have ordered several times through UberEats. Wonderful large portions of great food!! Eggplant & beef, dumplings, roast pork, fried fish, mapo tofu, snow mountain chicken, lemon chicken and Singapore mai fun were all delicious. Arrived fast and hot.

horrible delivery through Uber. ordered duck. it was actually ice cold, like it came out of refrigerator and no one bothered to heat it up. who knows how long in fridge. asked for buns for duck, none. asked for green onions and fresh hot mustard. none. i have determined this restaurant has no standards for quality and just doesn't care. nervous about how sanitary my other dishes are

Don't come here. Food was bad. Hot and sour tasted like pennies. Sweet chicken tasted old. Service was ok at first but when I complained about the food I was told to leave and never come back. Doesn't seem like they wanted to make it right at all. It stays empty for a reason
