Northshore Empress

Made for a great lunch on a rainy day so glad they are close to my work because I will be ordering more! The egg drop soup was very good

I try to eat occasionally and usually it's pretty good today. Hot and sour soup is excellent but the Mandarin chicken was pretty bad. The sauce was a little burnt chicken had no flavor and the rice had zero flavor. I need to pick up the game or I won't be back.

Good consistent Chinese food. Their Hot & Sour soup is one of the best I've had. Service is always good and usually fast.

I had to do a lot of searches on Yelp before finally choosing this establishment. Granted I was searching both sides of Lake Pontchartrain because all of the old places I used to know didn't come back after Katrina. I was looking for specific dish, namely Mandarin Chicken. You local folks may not realize this but Mandarin Chicken is exclusive to the New Orleans area. I have lived in a lot of states, including some with high Asian populations, and I have never been able to find this dish anywhere except here in Southern Louisiana. I found a photo of it on Northshore Empress's Yelp listing and identified it as what I was seeking. Both the outside and inside of the building looked new and upscale. Inside the dining room is furnished very nicely. I ordered the Mandarin Chicken and was glad I did. It was exactly as I remembered it from 30 years ago when I lived here for two plus decades. Exquisitely fried white meat chicken in a brown gravy served over a bed of lettuce with a crushed peanut topping. It was my first Chinese food meal back in the day and got me hooked on Chinese food forever. Today's meal fulfilled my memories and taste buds to the maximum. I almost couldn't stop eating the huge oversized portion. I'll probably eat my leftovers for dinner tonight. Thank You Northshore Empress for satisfying one of my life long cravings. The service today was superb. Timely server attention with humorous anecdotes made for a great lunch.

Food and the services is always excellent. Some of the best egg drop soup in the area.

Pretty tasty We stopped to grab food and enjoyed the quality and taste of food.We grabbed the beef fried rice and egg rolls, so pretty basic. The taste was good overallWill be back If you are looking for good dishes would recommend

Best Chinese food around compared to the south shore. Moved here a couple years ago and we've been having trouble finding a place that can compete with the south shore and this one is it! The only downside is it's a little pricier than I'd like.

I love the fusion here - the kids can get some Lo Mein, Tori can have dumplings and egg drop soup, and I get a bowl of pho. And guess what, you can get a veggie pho here that is loaded with all the best veggies! Baby bok choy, carrots, broccoli, it's just a great bowl of soup! I still prefer the meats, but this is a really neat trick and it tastes great...plus, it's nice to give the body a rest sometimes, eh?Hidden away on 190 and a beautiful restaurant in its own right, don't miss this treasure...as they say, it's all good here!

Food & service are excellent! All staff does a great job. If you request low sodium they are happy to accommodate you. .

Super disappointing. Crispy Duck was heavily battered and deep fried and severely overcooked inside. No respect for the ingredient and no resemblance to chinese crispy duck.
