When going through Grand Island, we stopped here for lunch. I'm not sure how long they've been there, but it used to be a pizza place. The buffet had a nice selection of fresh veggies, meats, and noodles and a few options for sizes. We never saw the prices for the various sizes, but we went ahead and got the large bowl. After adding our desired sauces, two people were walking around the round grill, cooking our food and moving it around the grill. They had some kind of soup, maybe sweet and sour, which I didn't care for. You could also get white rice out of an electric rice maker, if you wanted it. The food was cooked appropriately, it was flavorful, the workers were all nice, everything looked clean and replenished regularly. If you wanted a sweet treat, besides a fortune cookie, they had a couple of little cake choices, Jello, mandarin oranges, and watermelon slices.

This is a hometown favorite of mine. They recently remodeled on the inside and it looks great! They have a lot of vegetable, noodle, and meat options to fill your bowl and they cook it in front of you on a grill. A great experience! This is a small family owned business and they do a great job. If you're passing through town and want something other than fast food this is a solid option and affordable too!

This was my first time at a place like this so I didn't know what to expect. But it was great, and very fast, and cheep as well. If you haven't been to a wok style restaurant before, it is basically when you put all the raw materials in a bowl, and then give it to the chef, and they make it and give it back to you. Great for a quick, cheep, and delicious bite to eat.

My favorite spot in Grand Island! I literally eat here twice a week. Amazing selection of food on the buffet, choices for any diet: Keto, gluten-free, vegetarian, pescatarian, and more. You are charged by the bowl so pile it high! It shrinks when it cooks. Best advice I can give is to use the sauce chart above the line at the end. It's taste better when you put a lot of flavor in the bowl.

Really good food! They just updated almost everything and it looks really good. You can choose take out or stay. They are very helpful employees and are following guidelines for covid.

Dirty Place. They have no lights on stuff you put in your bowl. I feel it need a total renovation to clean it

By far the best Chinese restaraunt in the entire area. In fact, I haven't been to any Chinese…read morerestaraunts in Lincoln or Omaha that impressed me as much as this one, with the exception of the China Buffet/Mongolian Grill. Empire Express is not a chain but a local joint run by a Chinese family with good taste in food. The food is cooked fast and fresh, so you could say this place is fast food without a drive through. The food is dramatically better than your average Chinese fast food . Oddly enough, it's the only Chinese fast food in the entire town. So not only is the food exceptionally good, they don't even have any competition either. A pleasant surprise from a town that hates competition and delights in serving their pig slop to the locals. There are 50+ meals on the menu so there's a pretty big variety of choices, whether you like the simple meat, sauce and rice combination or lots of vegetables and meats. Most people that frequent there are pretty "choosey" about what to order, and that's because certain menu items are excellent and others are sub-par. I usually order breaded/fried chicken or pork with white rice. You have to specially request white rice because most of their meals serve a different kind of rice that isn't as good. The sauces vary quite a bit but are mostly good. They have the best sesame chicken out of any restaraunt I've ever ate at. If you like sweet sauces the orange and lemon chicken are good choices as well. The menu features quite a few spicey options as well. Stay away from stuff like "chicken-fried rice" because it's a bit on the bland side. Their new teriyaki chicken is a grilled chicken with teriyaki sauce and rice and is fantastic choice on the menu. They also have the best hot and sour soup I've ever had, and I'm not even that big of a soup fan. It's full of good flavors and quality incredients. Their crab rangoon is decent but could be better. The egg rolls are very nasty but then again I'm not a huge egg roll fan to begin with. Atmosphere - The place is really clean and pleasant to look at. I enjoy going in there in the evenings because there's usually not too many people in there. I don't know if that's a good thing because they should get more business at nights. They seem to be packed out during lunch time. Service - Very friendly and good at their jobs. A big plus in a town lacking good service. Overall, I give this restaraunt 5 stars. There's some hit and miss stuff on the menu, but you gotta find something you like.

It's over priced for the quality. It's just a lot of filler food drowning in sauce. Would not go…read moreback.
