I've been getting out of empire chef for years. I always loved her eating. with quality and quantity I went a few weeks ago and noticed that the lunch was a lot higher. but oh good new owners. tonight I ordered an evening meal for 1 bark meat and broccoli. sweet and acidic chicken with chicken roasted rice and an egg roll. it was all well cooked. but the main objects were the half of the size, how many paintings I had before. almost 3/4 rice in the container. that means bad customer satisfaction. I'm sorry to say, I have to try somewhere else. I'm sorry, chef.

I have to tell you. This place has ended a three year journey for me. We used to have a favourite Chinese food place within walking distance of our home. We were loyal customers. Then, they changed something. The flavours were no longer there or...vastly different. So we stopped going and started looking for a new place. That was three years ago. Today we found a new home. We ordered a few standards and came out smiling because this place now has our complete attention. The flavours were there as we remembered. There were some issues but we are going to work on them as we explore the rest of their menu. I must also say that the Lunch Specials for $6.95 are an amazing deal. If you are in the area, you have to try them out. If you are not, well they do deliver within reason.

We discovered this gem after our favourite Chinese food place changed ownership 3 times in a year. We found them in our local plaza no less. The food is always spot on and the portions extremely generous. And most importantly consistent. WE love to do...a $5.25 lunch special which is healthier and less expensive than McD's. And we always take home left overs. The little patio is cute. I recommend the BBQ pork ribs.. they are huge and very meaty, worth every penny.

Delicious, quick, and reasonably priced Chinese takeout. It truly stands out as one of the best in the area, especially since so many others have closed down. This restaurant has been a staple for many years, and it's easy to see why. They consistently use high-quality ingredients and never compromise on portion sizes or freshness. They offer a large menu and provide fast service. Service: Takeout. Meal type: Dinner.

The food here has been so consistently perfect for so many years. I have been to many restaurants, and they have cracked the code for the general tso’s chicken. It is perfectly crispy, and still delicious hours later. Their lunch specials are worth coming every day for, which was a bit over $9 I believe, with chicken fried rice and a pop or spring roll with your choice of stir fry. I believe the chef has been there all these years, and he is always kind. The staff work so hard. 10% off cash over $30
