Huge portions. 1. Egg Roll C11. Almond Boneless Chicken Combination
Jerry H.

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.

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.

C12. Sesame Chicken Combination

i'd have to say this is the best sesame chicken i've ever had. perfectly crunchy coating and the sauce is very flavorful. will be returning.

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.

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.

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 .

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.

I'm still in the "wow, I can't believe it, we've found our restaurant for Cashew Chicken, wow, that…read morewas amaaaaaazing!" phase. That was mindblowingly delicious Cashew Chicken, and the eggroll that came with it, and the chicken fried rice, were right up there in amazingness. I can't find my words, in this satiated state of great food coma. The Egg roll was crispy, and the veggies inside were perfect, not strings that got in the teeth, but lightly cooked and seasoned beansprouts. The chicken fried rice had nice tender chunks of chicken, a beautiful dark soy sauce, and was perfect texture, and delish for what it wasn't as much as for what it is: It was lightly flavored and not too salty, not greasy, not clumped - each grain stood out. We could tell the star of the show was the Cashew Chicken as soon as we opened the lid. There it was: perfectly cooked broccoli, chicken, water chestnuts, mushrooms, and shaved carrot pieces in an addictive brown sauce that filled the kitchen with an irresistable aroma, just a perfect sauce really, were topped by well-browned cashews, and a lot of them. I haven't had Cashew Chicken this good since moving from California decades ago. I'll be back - maybe tomorrow. There are so many other dishes on the menu we want to order, but it will have to be "an order of cashew chicken AND....", won't it?

The CFR was dry especially the chicken which was white meat - maybe thigh meat would make it less…read moredry ?? The wonton soup quart was mostly bean sprouts and the wontons were mostly dough with barely any filling. I enjoyed the plain broth. I don't think I'd come back.

The food was good and the restaurant was very nice and the people were very nice and friendly. I…read morewould go there again. I was really impressed by the food being so delicious.

This was, up until last week, my absolute favorite restaurant. Last week was the second time in 2…read moremonths that I'd ordered what used to be an amazing dish, their Cashew Chicken. It seems they have a new chef, or new recipes? The Cashew Chicken the last two times had raw pale cashews instead of pan-roasted. The main vegetable, celery, was completely raw and crunchy. But the worst part was the sauce: they left it out two times in a row. It was water. Just water. No salt, no soy sauce, nothing but water on raw cashews. What happened? I tried cooking it but you know, it's a matter of taking each piece of chicken out so it won't get overcooked, heating the wok, drying the celery and cashews after taking them out of the water, so I can get the expected sear, etc. The thing is, I GOT CARRY-OUT SO I WOULDN"T HAVE TO COOK. A side note: I ordered the same dish at another restaurant, one I'd never tried before. Their celery was cooked, but they, too, had put plain water as the "sauce" and and no discernable seasoning. What is going on? Am I missing something? Are they now selling meal "kits" you're supposed to cook, season, and sauce before eating? If so, can they leave the water out?
