Luncheon Special – Empire Garden Chinese Restaurant
Reviews
Tonight we ordered some different things: sesame shrimp, wontons in chili sauce and cold sesame noodles. Oh boy but these were absolutely terrible.
I’ll start with the cold sesame noodles. The noodles were under done and stale like they’d been sitting around for a week. The sauce if you want to call it that was disgusting. No flavor and no spice. No scallons… Nothing. Was so bland and off putting that it went right in the garbage where it belonged.
Next up the sesame shrimp. I know that on take out these heavily breaded entrees can get a little mushy so I ordered them extra crispy to help with that. What we got was so much worse. The batter was UNCOOKED GOO. The only thing you could taste was uncooked flour and the shrimp had that shrimpy taste indicative of food past it’s date. This one went right in the garbage too.
On to the wonton in chili sauce. So there was no chili sauce at all. No spice. Instead it was in a broken peanut sauce with no flavor whatsoever. Welcome to my garbage can.
So this place lacks consistency, and doesn’t care about what it is serving to our community. So it looks like another restaurant with no standards, no idea how to prepare tasty dishes and no care about its customers or the food they slop out.
I’d like to apologize to anyone who read my earlier review and are here.
My search for a good consistent Chinese restaurant in our area continues…
Let me start off by saying this: I’ve had Chinese food in over 20 states across the country, and Empire Garden continues to stand out as my absolute favorite. It’s not just the food—it’s the entire experience that keeps me coming back, time and time again.
Let’s talk lunch. Empire Garden offers fantastic lunch specials that are hard to beat. You get a hearty, satisfying meal that comes with your choice of soup or an egg roll—perfect for a quick break in the day that doesn’t compromise on quality or flavor.
Every dish I’ve ever had here has been nothing short of exceptional. The flavors are bold, rich, and perfectly balanced. You can truly taste the freshness in every bite. From classic favorites to house specialties, every plate is prepared with high-quality ingredients and real attention to detail. This isn’t your average takeout—it’s Chinese cuisine elevated.
What really sets Empire Garden apart, though, is the atmosphere. It’s one of the few Chinese restaurants with a truly lovely dine-in area. The seating is cozy and inviting, making it an ideal spot for a casual dinner with family or friends. Whether you’re dining in or taking out, it feels like a place where you’re genuinely welcomed.
And speaking of being welcomed—the service here is out of this world. The young gentleman behind the counter and every staff member treats you like family. It’s rare these days to find a place where the hospitality feels so genuine. Every visit reminds me how lucky we are to have a business like this in our community. Their warmth, kindness, and consistently incredible food make every visit something to look forward to.
Thank you, Empire Garden, for all that you do. You’ve earned a lifelong customer in me.
