Holly best deal in all 5 boroughs bat man!!! This place is the cheap food dream. Not since the dollar menu has a food spot helped America keep moving . I always get the standard with white rice. This ensures that I can enjoy the flavor of the dish. Pro tip, fried rice makes everything taste like fried rice. If you want to gain the respect of your local Chinese spot order everything with white rice. Seriously, this place is great. The standard is a big helping of rice, fried rice, or noodles with four main dishes. It like a buffet style but you get one serving and can't take seconds. I use the one meal for two. Generally grab lunch there and finish the rest for dinner. $4 for a meal these days is a big win. Love, love, love this spot!

This spot is a hole in the wall sandwiched between a strip of businesses in park slope. I was attracted by the lunch combo special which is available all day and stopped by for a quick bite after the gym. For $4 you get rice and one entree. The lady was courteous enough to top off the sesame chicken with some broccoli. Taste was pretty standard typically chinese. The rice was fresh and the food was hot so that is good. I will definitely be back and try more entrees and update my review.

This place is not toooo bad , the lunch special price is good for what items you can get ! I got my order through the app. Here for $4 I got 2 plates of chicken, rice , Lo mien , egg rolls and broccoli. Enough for 3-4 people or like 2-3 days of leftovers. Is not a great diner place to seat at ' it's like school cafeteria chairs . It has a lot of seating! I go if it's last minute in Da area

Very underrated Chinese food place. I haven't gotten buffet-style here, just ordered takeout / pickup, but was happy with what I got. Scratches an itch if you want typical Chinese food that won't let you down. There are so many places that seem like they'll be suitable, but end up disappointing. This one is solid.

Have gotten take out from here a couple times - is relatively affordable - and the food is ok. The rice dishes and broccoli/meat is like standard American Chinese food - on the greasier side but still tastes decent. The fried food (whether it's fried chicken or shrimp) is way too fried. I end up (unfortunately) throwing out the fried food when I try it because it's not even very edible in my opinion since it's all crisp and no meaty substance.

Stuck in the area for 45 minutes waiting on a local merchant.... So lunch seemed in order. I found lots of options on Yelp and saw myself heading down a rabbit hole of what to get.... I was literally standing in front of this Chinese takeout/buffet and took a chance. So... I didn't get sick, that's a plus and what was I expecting for $8.00 including tax. Some of the items weren't bad but overall the food lacked any distinction of taste as well as being overly greasy. My sugar addiction enjoyed the boneless ribs. I questioned whether the chicken was real. The broccoli had better days. However, the woman at the counter was pleasant and efficient, I received a big portion that was very affordable and the food served its purpose well... did I mention I didn't get sick?Probably wouldn't go back but it was worth passing on to those just looking for an affordable place to fill up.

Got the hankering for Chinese food yesterday and decided to give Empire Express a shot. Beef and broccoli combo and a General Tso's Chicken fit the bill. Delivery was quick, and my food arrived still hot.Overall, the food was okay. Orange chicken was tasty, though could've been crispier. The plain lo mein was adequate, but I thought the fried rice tasted like dirty oil or petroleum products. Beef and broccoli was a highlight, would recommend for sure. The egg drop soup was not quite what I'd hoped for, and the egg roll did not taste fresh. I'm still on the hunt for the best American Chinese food in South Brooklyn, and hopefully someday I'll find the eatery of my dreams. Empire Express may not have blown me away, but they got the job done.

The atmosphere, the affordability, and the options make this a no-brainer for a quick, great meal. As I write this, the tender spare ribs are just settling down in my stomach, happy thoughts flutter through my mind, and I'm already planning my next trip back.

Empire is my least favorite of the Chinese spots I've been to in the area. The cleanliness of the establishment could be improved for sure, and I feel like the quality is lacking, considering they are also on the more pricey side of Chinese takeout, I wouldn't recommend going here. The three stars is because at the end of the day, they are ok at what they make, the food isn't bad by any means, just not as good as other places.

Was next door getting a face lift (read that as eyebrows threaded) and came out really hungry. NB I went in really hungry. This shop was right next door so I decided to give it a try. I ordered the $5.75 five combo steam plate. I chose rice, sesame chicken, some type of beef, an order of dumplings (2) and bakchoy. After my first bite I thought this stuff is really great! You know how it goes when you're famished and food hits your palate? After 3 or 4 mouthfuls reality set in."It isn't really that good is it Freeyah" my brain asked my mouth. "Not really" mouth and even tummy responded. Aestherics aside (yeah you kinda SEE what you're in for) location wise it's convenient, right there on a main street where they're all usually located. The food is filling and It's cheap. 3 stars because you picked me up when I was down. The End.
