I tried this restaurant several times. In the beginning it was good. However, during the last few times, it grew progressively worst. I normally order chicken egg foo young, after the last disappointment, I tried kung pao chicken. The sauce was thick and salty. At one time, they had a table full of orders waiting for pick up. On 11/20th, the table was bare. read more

The food is outstanding top notch for flavor and freshness. I will never go anywhere else because I've tried and no one is as good as Empire in Prince William county that I know of. The food is delicious and the service is great! Can't say enough good things about it. The prices are also good and their portions are still large. The crab Rangoon was amazing. This food makes me want to eat it everyday read more

The service is prompt and courteous with reasonable prices. The ambiance is, well, it's a carryout. The food had been enjoyable for us. The one drawback is they don't know to make spicy dishes. Several times I have ordered kung pao chicken or shrimp extra spicy...only to receive plain. One thing is their lo mein is now cut up, who does that? read more

Best Chinese food in Woodbridge, the beef is so tender! I love their beef lo mean and the Crispy noodles with beef.

never disappointed friendly hot and always on time. PLace looks clean and smells just wonderful.

Best combination fried rice in town. My go to is human chicken which is heavy on the sauce fyi. General tso is good. We also like chicken lo mein because it comes w chunks of white meat. read more

I was under the weather and just wanted something simple. I ordered fried dumplings, wonton soup, and beef lo mein. The dumpling wrappers were super thick, gummy, and burned. I'll admit I forgot to say I just wanted the broth with no wontons so I just tossed those. The lo mein was rubbery and disappointing. I threw out most of this $30 meal (with tax and tip) read more

The food was over done and I was home and too far to go back and get a refund. This place was on my way home. read more

One of the better Chinese restaurants in the lake-ridge area! Food is very good and large portions enough for almost 2-3 people. My go to is the lo-mein noodles and their orange chicken which always tastes great for us!! read more

Empire Restaurant - a bowl of chicken and broccoli - Chinese Near Me - Woodbridge, Virginia

Business took me to Woodbridge this week. I saw a Chinese Restaurant in a strip plaza named Empire Kitchen. I ordered Kung Po chicken and it was fabulous. I initially intended to save half for dinner, but it was so good i couldn't get enough. Check out Empire Kitchen in Woodbridge! read more

Decent. Just tried the fried rice. It's good but not great. Service is good. Ambiance...that's a no.

Ordered chicken fried rice a couple of days ago and all the chicken pieces was nothing but fat. I will never go there again!

Very much good quality food. Its not too fried or battered. Never heard of shrimp toast- just like shrimp tempura- but it was still good. Loved the lo mein, fried rice, and general tso chicken. read more

I ordered from empire for first time yesterday. Spring rolls filled with nothing but cabbage. Fried rice tasteless. I will try them again and try something with meat but very disappointed. It's very difficult to find good Asian carry out near manassas. read more

My first time ordering from this place. I got wonton soup and general tso chicken. The wonton soup was really good. The wontons looked homemade. I would definitely recommend. The general tso chicken was also good. However, only complaint is that it didn't have any spice to it and zero red peppers were in the sauce which is unusual. read more

Good Chinese. The crab Rangoon and hunan pork are my favorites. We also get general t's chicken and curry chicken which are both very tasty. I would recommend for a quick dinner. read more

Our local Chinese take-out restaurant recently closed so we're looking for a new one. Empire had good reviews and it was on our way home so we gave it a try. Ordered online and it was ready when we arrived. Packaging was great, but the food was just average. My shrimp toast was chewy, and the egg foo young overcooked. My husband enjoyed his chicken fried rice and wonton soup. We're going to keep looking. read more

Probably the worst customer service I've ever had... don't order on their website! Apparently they don't look at those take out orders AND their pricing on the website is incorrect. I got an email confirmation for my order, came to pick it up, the woman said she didn't see the order. Then I told her she should atleast grant me the pricing that is listed.. she said "no. you take menu." I was trying to be very nice but she wouldn't listen and just would walk away or help the others instead. I work in the customer service industry and i never leave reviews.. well this clearly was bad enough to where I felt the desire to leave one. I was excited about my food but instead I worried that someone would spit in it by how her attitude towards the situation was...clearly she/the restaurant was at fault but nothing was done about it. :( read more

Called, ordered delivery and was asked to pay in cash. They brought the order, I paid cash, and tipped, NO RECEIPT WAS GIVEN TO ME and part of the order was missing, called the restaurant to inquire and was rudely told they didn't charge it and didn't offer an alternative. ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE AND DOING SHADY BUSINESS ASKING YOU TO PAY CASH AND NOT PROVIDING A RECEIPT. I'll never order from here again. read more

Used to live in a townhouse behind this location and carried out countless times on nights I was home alone or me and my former wife didn't want to cook. I always loved their general tsos chicken, chicken lo mein and crab Rangoon. It's not the very best Chinese, but by far not the worst. I specifically remember the family always knew what I was in the mood for and were very friendly. Miss this place. read more

I ordered a chicken wing platter and the chicken was done. The chicken looked old. I called the restaurant and they sent another order out to me but I had lost my appetite by time the delivery came. The rest of my food was ok but I will not order from Empire again. read more

Gross!! Picture attached. Still on the hunt to find my parents a decent Chinese takeout. I ordered the broccoli in shrimp (if you can't tell) with fried rice. The fried rice was layered with an old oil and egg (no veggies). The oil was also added to the shrimp and broc which made that unappetizing and the shrimp were overcooked. Tossing in the trash and going to whole foods #rubbish read more

We have ordered from here before and it's good food, but tonight was outstanding. The crab rangoon and the fried wontons were crispy but chewable (some place's wontons are hard as rocks), the chicken fried rice has good-size pieces of chicken and the beef and broccoli was delicious! My kids devoured it, too. I ordered through Door Dash and pick up was easy and contactless. Definitely going to continue to go back! read more

This was our second time ordering from here. The food is good. Not the best we've had, but it is the best of the ones so far! My husbands fried rice was slightly dry and lacked flavor in my opinion. The first time I ordered the lo mein and enjoyed it, this time around it was dry as well. read more

Best Chinese in the area. We try something different every time and are NEVER disappointed. Portions are generous.

This restaurant is very good! I order from this place a week ago, and my food came out FANTASTIC! So I will be ordering again! I got the Singapore rice noodles and beef and broccoli! Thank you for your great service! read more

I FOUND LARVA/MAGGOTS!!! I wish I could post pictures! They were in the brocolli with my General Tsos chicken platter!!! I ate 1 before I noticed!!! I am so upset and I called Doordash to let them know and I only got a 50% refund! Wtf! I never thought I'd be one of those people but this is the last time I order here!!!! CHECK your food before you eat it here!!!!! read more

My husband and I ordered from here on a whim. Often times we don't eat Chinese food (we prefer Thai), but this place was close by. He ordered a Szechuan beef combo, that came with fried rice and egg roll. I ordered a chicken wing combo (which included the same). When we got home and started eating, he had a disgusted look on his face and told me the food tasted old. The rice didn't taste fresh and we were both disappointed. He threw the rest of his food out. I reluctantly nibbled on mine because I feel bad wasting food. I ate the wings and threw out the rice. We will probably throw out the egg rolls too. read more

Empire Restaurant - Fried rice. Dry as sand. - Chinese Near Me - Woodbridge, Virginia

My family and I have been going here for many years, and this is our go to place for delicious Chinese food. We often get both delivery and carry out, and their service is always quick and the food is consistently great. I highly recommend their General Tso's Chicken, Combination Lo-Mein, and egg rolls! We're so lucky to have such a great restaurant in our neighborhood! read more

Simply fantastic. The service is quick and friendly! It's a quick drive from my place and the food has always been high quality!

I ordered the general tso's chicken, beef with broccoli, sweet and sour chicken and egg fried rice. Everything was close to inedible. While the fried rice was fried, there was no egg or veggies in it at all. I know we shouldnt have eaten that, but I was hungry and that's all there was. I hope we don't get sick. read more

I think this is the best Chinese restaurant in the lake ridge area. I usually get the general Tso's chicken meal and it is great. Perfect flavor. Not chewy. Delivery time is average. Definitely worth it. read more

If I could give less than no stars I would. When we first tried the food, it was ok for if you didn't feel like driving away from the area. The third time, I called and placed an order, when I got home we realized they gave us the wrong food. I was very upset because after calling them, the associate explained if I bring the food back she would give me two free egg rolls. Really?? Two free egg rolls, on an order you messed up! And the food had mushrooms in it of which I'm allergic!!! I explained she needed to pick the food up and bring me what I had paid for. After that I tried to give them another chance, no luck there, she had a nasty attitude and the food was horrible. Poor customer service and POOR FOOD!! Good for nothing. read more

Eh this place isn't all that great. Their rice is so dried and hard, it's like they used days old rice. Aside from their hong kong style wonton soup nothing there is that great. Egg rolls are soggy, their general tso's chicken is not crunchy, it's also soggy, their sweet and sour chicken is sometimes crunchy, i guess it depends on the cook that day? I dunno. Good place to go is Hunan Garden next to giant off of hedges run. read more

Amazing combination fried rice a little greasy the way I like it, with good flavor. I always pick up Hunan chicken 2nd best in town. Compared to the portions 5 years ago they have sized down, understandable. read more

Recently tried their wonton soup, Hong Kong style. It was absolutely amazing. I've never had this dish before and I loved it. The broth was flavorful and full of dumplings filled with pork. I was battling a cold and it definitely made me feel so much better. read more

I specifically asked that the spareribs were well done! To our surprise and disappointment the chicken fingers, and shrimp tempura were also cooked well done. I'm talking burnt , dried out chicken and shrimp. You would think common sense would tell you not to burn crispy shrimp and chicken. read more

I never ordered diarrhea. It's been 3 days and I'm still sick. I ordered chicken and broccoli lunch combination with veggie spring roll. It was not tasty, just plain. This is the first time I try this place and let me tell you this is going to be the last time. read more

Best General Tso's Shrimp in town! I moved away recently but have made a trip or two just for the food. Very affordable and the delivery service is very quick. read more

Good food. Well seasoned with lots of flavor. But, nothing to stop the presses and write home about. Still, it was good. This is really a carry out/delivery joint and not a real sit down place. It seems to have a lot of business. That's important to me because I don't like to eat at places that are not doing much business; leaves me wondering. read more
