What User likes about Empire Chinese Kitchen:
LOVED IT, lots of vegan options (and lots of options for the non-vegan in your party). Had vegan dumplings, boa, and the chinese eggplant. Everything was GREAT. It's a very busy place but worth the wait (you can leave a number and they will contact you when your table is ready). View all feedback. What User doesn't like about Empire Chinese Kitchen:
The food here was mediocre, especially for the price. The options are very clearly labelled, which was welcome, but the actual food execution left something to be desired. Wouldn’t not recommend the ginger fried rice as a main — there was not enough substance to it, though it was okay as an accompaniment. View all feedback.

So many vegan options and you can't go wrong with any of them. So delicious. It will be packed on weekends but worth the wait

This restaurant deserves 5 stars but it won't let me because it's not fully vegan/vegetarian!

Don't expect a ton of vegan options but what they have is GREAT. Vegan smoker with mushroom broth is bomb.

The vegan bao was good, as was everything else, but the bao stands out as so very worth it.

Delicious getaway! It is always a victory when steamed rolls and Bao are on the menu. The lobster balls are particularly good.

The food here is excellent! The duck fritted rice and kung pao chicken were so good and was more than enough for two people. The chicken potters and spicy pigs...

Always great takeout in Portland. I wish it would open for in person dining, but until then I’ll keep enjoying the orange beef with bok choy from home!
