Wonderful experience! Thank to Leon, all three dishes were recommended by him. All of them are delicious. Don’t hesitate to ask his opinion, he is a kind person with brilliant taste, and his service was excellent.
Started with mushroom soup. Unlike other mushroom soup, this one is less creamy, but more mushroom flavor, you will never get tired of it.
Rib eye is my all time favorite, here the steak has really strong milk flavor, And the fat is not so greasy. The portion of steak is huge, And the asparagus cook perfectly.
Cheesecake is tasty as well, not heavy at all, perfect ending for this great meal!

A classic steakhouse feel just off Times Square on 49th between 8th and 9th. The service was great, started with solid house bread & appetizers like the jumbo shrimp cocktail (good), grilled octopus (good), bacon (tough and not sweet enough like at Strip House),
The bone-in ribeye steak was just ok (dry-aged, bone-in ribeye was tough and gristly with a lot of sinew in my cut – unexpected for a good cut of what should be well-marbled meat). Asparagus on the greasy side.
Lavendar creme brulee was good, though.
Overall, a good service experience, just a bit tough that my steak didn’t meet expectations. My dining companion had a great grilled branzino, though – that looked amazing.

“I finally found a standout steak spot in NYC, and Empire Steak House in Times Square delivered big time. The bone-in ribeye was cooked to absolute perfection, exactly medium rare as requested, with a beautifully crispy, charred exterior giving way to incredibly juicy, flavorful meat inside. The marbling and richness were spot-on; every bite was a highlight.
For dessert, the crème brûlée was silky, creamy perfection with that irresistible crackly caramel top. It was so delicious I genuinely regretted not ordering one to go!
Our server was attentive without hovering, striking the ideal balance so my date and I could enjoy uninterrupted conversation. Warm, professional service all around.
This place exceeded expectations, I’ll definitely be back, and I can’t wait to try more from the menu. Highly recommend for anyone craving a top-tier steak experience in the heart of the city!

We came here for lunch and absolutely loved it! The New York strip steak was incredibly delicious — highly recommended. Even though it was a quick lunch, the portion was huge (Asians are always amazed by how generous American portions are!). The wine and coffee were also excellent. The servers were so friendly and kind, and especially kid-friendly, which made our meal even more enjoyable. Thanks to them, we had a wonderful family lunch. The complimentary port wine was a nice touch and tasted great. The location near Times Square is perfect — a great spot to stop by for a meal while sightseeing.

한국인분들 호의적인 식당 원하시면 여기 추천!! 너무 기분좋은 식서시가이였답니다
I visited this restaurant after finding it through Google reviews, and it truly lived up to the hype! Unlike some other places where racial discrimination can be an issue, I didn’t experience anything like that here. In fact, the staff were exceptionally warm, welcoming, and genuinely kind.
For Korean visitors—if you’re worried about the discrimination that sometimes happens in Queens, Wolfgang’s, or Peter Luger, come here instead! I highly recommend it.
A special shoutout to Armin (server) and Ridi (manager)
-they were incredibly attentive, thoughtful, and professional, and thanks to them I had an absolutely wonderful dining experience.
I originally planned to order the porterhouse, but since it was Thanksgiving, I went for the Thanksgiving dinner set
—and it still exceeded all expectations. The ribeye and filet mignon were both fantastic, and the mozzarella tomato salad was especially delicious. Even the wine they recommended was perfect. I truly enjoyed everything.
If I come back to New York, I will 100000% visit again!
Thank you for making my evening so special.

Literally, the best dining experience ever. The food was impeccable! The service was remarkable. I’m from Texas and this is hands down the best steak I have ever had. My husband and I had the steak and lobster, asparagus, mashed potatoes and buffalo mozzarella salad. It was all superb. We finished dinner with a chocolate mousse and yall- it came out with a ball of the most delectable whip cream I have ever tasted. Highly HIGHLY recommend coming here. I will come back any time we are in New York. I will probably be dreaming about this food. They gave us dessert on the house for my husbands birthday. Ask for Armin. He was our server and took the best care of us.. very caring and attentive…. Actually, everyone was wonderful! It was a delightful experience.

My daughter and I stayed right around the corner on 50th for our first visit to NYC, and just a few days before Christmas. The entire trip was magnificent, and it was highlighted by our visit to Empire Steakhouse – Times Square! I booked reservations ahead of time, which was obviously a good choice due to the crowds. For an appetizer, we chose the seared tuna, which was amazing. For entrees, I got the New York Strip with creamed spinach, while my daughter chose the Surf ‘N Turf with lobster and 8 Oz filet. This was literally one of the best experiences that we’ve ever had in terms of food (steaks specifically) and service! She said that it almost brought tears to her eyes because it was so good. Thank for adding so much to an already amazing trip to remember!

My family are big fans at Empire Steak House.
My sons have tried many steakhouses in New York, but they confidently say there is no place that serves steak as good as this one, and they even come down from Connecticut on weekends just to eat steak here in New York.We love the porterhouse, and we were happy to visit Empire again last night and today.
Thank you always for the consistently delicious food.
I hope you will stay just the way you are in Manhattan for a long time to come.When I come with my family, I enjoy wine with my meal, and when I dine alone, I often have beer instead; both pair very well with the steak.
For side dishes, I usually order the mashed potatoes or the mac and cheese; both go perfectly with the steak and taste wonderful.
You should try them together sometime.
