Empire Szechuan

The Rundown:A Chinese takeout location that is efficient, has good food, and will certainly meet your needs.The Review:Downtown is busy, and surprisingly lacks a number of typical takeout locations. This spot has a great menu variety and offers seating but specializes in to go. The staff is very efficient - in a massive lunch rush I got my order within 5-10 minutes. Food was very good quality, though I felt the rice didn't quite hit above expectations when compared with other locations. I had pork fried rice and it didn't have much of a taste above plain to differentiate.Overall, it's worth a visit if seeking a simple and typical Chinese takeout experience!

First time ordering from this restaurant and it will probably be my last. It's right down the road from where we live, so we decided to place an order for pickup. The ordering process was easy and the food was ready at the set pickup time, but when we got home we discovered the order was all wrong. Two of the four meals we ordered were completely wrong and due to a prior engagement, we had to settle for what we were given. The nail in the coffin though, was the lack of flavor and overall poor food quality.

We just recently moved to downtown and we're looking for a neighborhood Chinese restaurant. I ordered a General Tso combo which was amazing! I really enjoyed it and the young man who took our order was really nice and welcoming. The ambiance is your typical take out spot but it was clean. I'll definitely come back again

Went in for pickup and we had crispy beef, chicken lo mein, crab rangoons, and we had the steamed pork dumplings.The steamed pork dumplings were some of the better ones I've had in Orlando thick chewy dough. They were very good. My daughter and I also enjoyed the crispy beef very much. Chicken lo mein was very good but it didn't really stick out. The crab rangoons were kind of garbage but everything else was great to very good. I did pick up and the food was ready on time and very easy. The restaurant also looked very clean. We are already talking about when we will go back and get those dumplings!

I went around dinner time. There's seating but it's limited. I got the $10 Kung pao chicken combo meal. The pork fried rice so good. Pork egg roll was also fire. Will try something else next time or order the Kung pao with more heat Friendly customer service.

Came here for lunch couple of times. It is very well priced lunch menu and you got a lot of options. Lunch comes with a drink, so you're getting a great deal. The first time, I got kung pao chicken and it was alright, the flavor and the texture of the pork fried rice I didn't care for much. The second time I got lo main noodles, which was a better tasting dish in my opinion. The service was neither here or there, kind of typical for a Chinese restaurant. Needless to say, not the best place, but ok for a cheap lunch.

Good food ! Good location Good pricing The only complaint is they're super bad with delivery but I usually pick up anyways

Moving back to Orlando but in a different part of town, we new we needed to establish our go to Chinese spot. After a decent amount of trial and error with various locations around town we found Empire Szechuan after getting a flyer at our house. At that point we were still on the search so we promptly ordered and haven't strayed to another Chinese takeout location since. In the probably 10ish orders over the past 2 years, we've never been disappointed.Our go-to is the general tso's chicken which we order each time (white rice and extra sauce!). We usually mix it up with the second item and have tried a variety of menu items, all as great! For the quality of food, consistency of the meals each time ordered and delivery service (always steaming hot when it arrives and delivered by the sweetest man), we will continue to frequent here! I'll update with photos with our next delivery!

I have been on the hunt for really good Chinese cuisine for quite some time and have found a few that I could recommend but this place wins!!! So delicious and fresh. I think I didn't try them sooner because they are downtown and there's no parking but their delivery service is quick and friendly. GO! You will not be disappointed.

Today I called in and ordered two veggie eggrolls only to pick them up soaked in grease, it was so much grease that the bottom of the bag was soaked in a grease puddle . I work hard for my money and I don't like wasting it on businesses that don't appreciate its customers. This was a horrible experience. . no stars
