Good Chinese take out - our go too place. Food is good with large portions. Try the combo meals.

Always good for a change of pace. Consistent quality and taste. Definitely recommend.

I ordered boneless salmon Chicken shrimp egg foo young they were both terrible rice was tasteless nothing to it the shrimp egg foo young it was very little shrimp they were greasy and the boneless almond chicken the breading and the chicken were separated it was terrible I'll never order from them again and I hope nobody else does either it's a waste of money never again read more

Tasteless, crunchy overpriced garbage $46 for 2 combos that are inedible. Rice tastes like burnt oil, general Taos is bland, almost like it was a sweet and sour mistake that they tried to turn into my order. read more

FANTASTIC! I moved to Texas and they just do not make almond chicken like metro Detroit restaurants makes it. The portions were huge. 3 chicken fillets , high amount of rice with big chunks of pork. The egg roll was perfect. The only problem is they give too much food.. when I visit this will be my go to place. read more

Empire Chinese Restaurant - Huge portions. 1. Egg Roll C11. Almond Boneless Chicken Combination - Chinese Near Me - Harrison Township, Michigan

This was my second time ordering and This was the WORST ! They used pre-cook shrimp their was some fishy smell to the food IT WAS JUST BAD

Out of the 5 times I've ordered now only 2 meals are what I'd consider decent. The first time I ordered Moo Shu Chicken, terrible. Was not packaged correctly and saucy mess dripping out of the bag. Second time lunch special Moo Goi Gai Pan. That was okay. Third time dinner Moo Goo Gai Pan, this time salty uncooked pieces of chicken carelessly thrown together, just gross. Then, Pad Thai. First time okay. But the last time I paid almost $15 and there were many ingredients missing, advertised as having so just straight up lying to customers. No bean sprouts, no peanuts... and snarky counter person. There is a reason they post a "no refund" sign at the counter- because once you open the food at home often you find you didn't get what you expected. More often than not in my experience. read more

Worth the drive?..... I'd say so! We live out in Chesterfield area 23 and Jefferson, the ride is roughly 16mins or so and to by pass the other local Chinese Restaurants in the area was hard... We both ordered Almond Boneless Chicken Combo and side of Wanton Soup The location is off 16 in a strip mall hard to find unless your looking for it, the inside is small and clean from what I gathered... The restaurant seems to deal with mostly takeouts. The staff wasn't talkative just asked name and was on my way. The food was very good, we got the large Wanton Soup total of 8 wantons and the broth was very good came with the chips to put in the soup. Egg roll was large and packed with vegetables very flavorful, no sauce other than soy sauce. The main course of Almond Boneless Chicken was tender and light breading, the gravy was light and not heavy which had the normal brownish color. The rice was plentiful and taste good, found that it seemed very fresh and cooked through and through. You get plenty of chicken and for the meal For every it was just little over $30 I'd definitely like to try a few other dishes, so we will definitely check back in read more

The best Chinese food I have had in a long time; nothing like crunchy veggies and d fresh rice!

I love their Almond Boneless chicken and egg drop soup. I love the crunchy noodles and the brown gravy that the combo comes with. It's always so tasty and you get a lot of food. read more

Empire Chinese Restaurant - C12. Sesame Chicken Combination - Chinese Near Me - Harrison Township, Michigan

Empire is now under new management, but they seem to have kept on with what made this place good to begin with. The fried chicken in dishes like sweet & sour chicken is still excellent. But, check your bag before you leave, because two times in a row they forgot to put the sweet-and-sour sauce on the side like I asked. I got no sauce, and had to turn around and go back. But, they were nice enough to give me an eggroll for my troubles, so no harm done. I actually like their hot & sour soup better, but their wonton egg drop soup - which used to be a wonderful blend of egg drop soup with wontons and it - tastes...strange. Not just lacking salt, but actually somewhat bitter. But, one fantastic addition to the lineup is Pad Thai. I got mine with shrimp, and it was very good. It's a little bit short of my favorite Thai restaurant, but still very good. Their daily lunch specials are so unbelievably cheap, it's hard to go wrong. Still a frequent destination for good, reasonably priced Chinese food. read more

I usually don't like take out Chinese food but Empire was pleasantly surprising! Portions were huge and the entrees had great flavor. I did get soup (wonton and egg drop) and they were okay. A lot for the price. 4-5 wontons for a pint of soup! You could actually taste the crab in the Crab Rangoon rather than an abundance of cheese. General Tsos chicken almond boneless chicken were juicy and moist and not overcooked like most places. Would definitely come back if I'm ever craving Chinese takeout. read more

I used to love this place until today when I found a MAGGOT in my food. Returned for a full refund. Their response of "Oh, they must not have seen that in there" makes me believe they would have just removed it and still given me my food. read more

The lady working was very dear and kind. I came with two other people .We started with crab Rangoon - they were very tasty but made of fake crab. When our food came Out it was in to go containers and plastic wear .I thought if we were dining there it would be on real plates with silverware but whatever . I ordered the cashew chicken - the chicken was tender , was loaded with cashews but made me really Thirsty . My grandma really liked her chicken mushroom and pea dish. The Singapore mai fun was different than at other places . I liked The curry flavor but the shrimp was really fishy tasting but they were cleaned thoroughly so that's a bonus. We've had way better chicken fried rice - the chicken chunks were fake . They didn't have hot tea or ice tea - Bummer . All the food plus a quart of wonton soup to go was like $43 and we got a TON of food . Like a lot . I think that's the appeal . It's cheap and you get a lot. I wouldn't feel the urge to ever come back here since nothing stood out to being fantastic . read more

Every time I order, I am never disappointed. General Tso, ABC, Sesame chicken are all

This restaurant is my go-to for fast, flavorful Chinese food. The sesame chicken combination plate is one of my favorites. I usually order shrimp fried rice to go with my dinner. Yummy! read more

This was horrible the red sauce tasted like that taste you get in your mouth if you spray bug spray too close, the egg rolls are nasty and the crab Rangoon they charged an arm and a leg for have nothing indie of them. DO NOT EAT HERE YUCK!!!!! I gave one star only because I can't give a negative number read more

Fast service, I like the provisions they have in place for COVID. This is my first time having carry out from them. Food was Hot! Over All the food was pretty good. read more

Empire Chinese Restaurant - Chicken Egg foo Young - Chinese Near Me - Harrison Township, Michigan

Food is good but, some of their "new" convinces aren't. Having to pay to make it easy for them with the online use charge doesn't help me any. I can pick up my phone and call in my order faster and easier. Then a tip on top of that? I worked in the service industry for thirty five years as a service desk manager at Farmer Jack and never once got a tip! Back to the food; great spring rollls but they cost extra instead of the blah egg rolls. House wonton egg drop soup is excellent. Too bad you only get one large wonton. Fried rice is boring and too much of it; I suspect it's being used as filler. The Mei Fun is very good; nice change of pace. read more

Wonderful food, excellent service, fast food at its finest - call ahead: ready when you get there. Doing take out only and following protocols for Corona Virus. Best Chinese in this area. Highly recommend: Fried Potstickers Wing Dings Egg Rolls Almond Chicken Moo Shu Pork I do not however recommend the Pad Thai - this is not their specialty- lol. Excellent choice - love this place! read more

I door dashed 3 days ago and found this in my pepper steak. Of course let door dash know but also the restaurant and whoever picked up the phone had no care in the world . I wasn't calling too complain like I should have but wanted too just let them know something their cooking with shouldn't be getting used . She said okay and that's it . No apologies or anything . Won't be back here read more

Empire Chinese Restaurant - Metal piece - Chinese Near Me - Harrison Township, Michigan

This little hard to find spot is one of those hidden gems. I've had Chinese food all over the country and this is as good or better than any I've ever tasted. They are quick, try to accommodate The portions are huge. Be hungry. You will be happy. read more

I just got this food DoorDashed and it was still hot and ready, I ordered the Sesame Chicken and it is the best chicken I've ever had in my life! This place is going to be my new go-to! read more

Stopped going here a long time ago, tried it again recently to give it another shot and was extremely disappointed. General Tso's is overbreaded, burnt, and too sugary, no body or spice to it. Ordered a "Hot and Sour Soup" and got...well im not sure what I got....it was definitely not hot and sour soup...im fairly certain it was a mix of all the old soup combined into one...swish soup.... Cant believe I paid for that thinking I was going to get something different. Sorry, but I will not be coming back, I don't care that its close to home, I'd rather drive the extra mile to New Asian Star, they do an exceptional job and never disappoint. read more

I really enjoy their Mai Fun (aka Singapore Noodles). It's not the best I've ever had, but it's as good as I've had at a quick carry out Chinese place. The portions are good and they are always 10-15min from when you order to when you pick up, no matter how much you order or what time of day it is. The parking is never full, but it's not right next to the door either. I like it, although I've learned what I do and don't like on their menu. I really like their noodle dishes mostly. They are worth a shot if you're in the area. read more

Horrible food. We ordered sweet and sour chicken with sauce on side. Drove there, lady handed us a bag, said sweet sour chicken with extra sauce. We got home, and it was 5 pieces of chicken, a little rice and egg roll. It cost 12.00. I called and said we got wrong food, lady didn't understand, then said she hit wrong button and we got another chicken dish. Too bad for us, we paid $12.00 for food we couldn't eat. We will not go back. They don't understand you and you can't understand them. read more

Normally I would not post a negative review but this is the second time ordering from this restaurant and being totally disappointed. We ordered on Christmas Day at around 4:30 pm and didn't receive our order until close to 6:00 pm. The staff was rude, their was no organization and the food was horrible. The Crab Rangoon was only filled with flavorless cream cheese, the sweet and sour chicken was soggy breading. Perhaps they should have given their employees a gift and closed for the holiday. Everyone would have been happier. read more

The steamed dumplings were good! The cashew chicken was less so. Asked for "extra spicy" and it was not spicy at all. Wouldn't say I'd make the trip up here for it (was finishing a day of fishing on lake st clair) but I'd consider stopping for a bite if I felt like some Chinese if I were already up there. Still nothing special based on one trip. Dumplings good. Cashew chicken was like every other meh Chinese joint in Detroit. The chicken was sorta square shaped and strip like - seemed a bit like it was reconstituted chicken or perhaps canned. read more

This was absolutely hands down the worst Chinese food I've ever had. Almond boneless chicken gravy tasted like it was chicken gravy out of a can.. so thin and icky. Broccoli and garlic was terrible. Broccoli was hard as a rock, and the sauce didn't taste like garlic at all. Vegetable chop suey barely had any vegetables, my moms shrimp chop suey had more onions than mine. Speaking of the shrimp chop suey my mom found a tail on one of her shrimps. I will never order from here again. read more

We were looking for a new Chinese restaurant since we've moved ,and found Empire. The food was exactly what I expect for chinese carryout. This means the portions are large, the food was hot, and the service was fast. I appreciated that they used clean oil for the deep frying. Definitely worth checking out for yourself if you're in the area. read more

I ordered this through Door Dash. Maybe I got them on a slow day but I can't BELIEVE how fast the food was delivered and how good it was!!! I know good and I was sooooo impressed! Great job, Empire! read more

Every meal we have had here has been made with the freshest meat, vegetables and the sides are done as good as we have found.

Sadly it's not the same owner from years ago, when I would get carry out sometimes 2x a week- it was that good. Today I was in the area visiting my parents and said to myself "self, you haven't eaten lunch yet cuz your kids devoured all the food at Mike and Es, so get you some yummy Chinese food while your in the neighborhood". And that's what I did. Called in the hubbys and my usual, Gia Kow and Szechuan chicken lunch combos. 5 minutes he tells me- Wow that's cool and quick. Got there 10 minutes later and it was bagged and waiting. The place is still small but clean on the inside, with a decent amount of tables to dine at, but like most Chinese places it's mostly carry out. Got the food home and it was piping hot, even with the 22 minute car ride. Egg rolls were really good. On the larger side compared to most places, with beans sprouts and a very tasty sauce for dipping- not to bitter or too sweet, just right. Lots of chicken in both dishes and very good. Not mystery meat or foul tasting. Fresh tender chunks of chicken. Veggie are ample and still tender, not over cooked. The rice was the down fall. Bland and just not all that. It was just pretty much plain fried rice, boring. No onions, bean sprouts or much flavor. Don't get me wrong, I still ate it all, or I should say my daughter did. Even though the owners are new the place is still pretty good. If/when I'm near my parents and need to eat, im sure I'd get it again. My mom can't cook for shit. read more

Just moved into the area and was struggling to find a decent Chinese place! Empire Chinese has good food and good portions. The chicken tastes like real chicken and is well cooked, unlike some other Chinese restaurants I have been to. I really like the sesame chicken. The egg rolls that the combinations come with are good too! I have only gotten carry out, but it is always quick. Definitely will be coming back! read more

Just ordered the orange beef with fried rice, could not find any actual beef, only fat in Sicily sweet sauce.

This is my go-to place for Chinese takeout. They have a few small tables inside, but this place is geared more toward takeout than dine-in. Generous portions and consistently good. Prices are fair as well. We especially enjoy the General Tao's and Sesame chicken. Note: I suggest to always call ahead whether you are dining in or getting carryout. I don't know if the owner is having personal problems or what, but lately this place has been closed often when it should be open. When we went there today there was a sign posted on the counter that said it would be closed for the next 5 days due to personal reasons. I'll be bummed if this place closes. read more
