" Empire Chef has been a consistent player in the Chinese food scene in our community. Their lunch specials are a great deal and the flavors are always on point! Regardless of how busy they are, the quality of service remains intact. I usually get the orange chicken and it's delicious every time. I can’t recommend them enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" Decided to check out Empire Chef after seeing so many good reviews online. I found their food quite average! Could be just that I had high hopes, but the kung pao chicken was not the best I’ve had. Still, the staff were polite and efficient, making the experience pleasant. I might give them another chance as the menu has a lot of options. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently had a family gathering and decided to order a large platter from Empire Chef. I was impressed by how efficiently the food was prepared and delivered. The sweet and sour chicken was a hit, and the kung pao beef was seasoned to perfection. Besides, the owners are charming people who take pride in their restaurant. The combination of taste, affordability, and warm service makes it a local gem. Highly recommended for family meals! " (*Curated Review*)

" Empire Chef has quickly become my favorite Chinese spot! I love their lunch specials - they're fantastic for a quick meal at a good price! The dishes are packed with flavor, especially the sweet and sour pork. The staff is also really quick and friendly, making for a great dining experience. I'm always satisfied, and I appreciate the consistent portion sizes! If you haven’t stopped by yet, you definitely should. " (*Curated Review*)

" My family loves this spot! We often come here for our weekend takeout and it never disappoints. Everything from the dumplings to the fried rice is always fresh and generously portioned. The atmosphere is casual, perfect for a family meal. One visit, my daughter accidentally spilled her drink, and the staff was so understanding and offered to replace it without charge! Such great service. Highly recommend for family outings! " (*Curated Review*)

" Empire Chef tends to be a bit hit-or-miss for me. Usually, I enjoy my meals, but there have been times when the flavors just seemed off, making them taste too oily. However, I do appreciate the effort that the staff puts into service as they are very friendly. It’s still worth visiting due to their overall decent quality. " (*Curated Review*)

" They say you can’t judge a book by its cover, but when it comes to food, presentation matters! I found Empire Chef's offerings lacking in this department. My fried rice was overcooked and bland, which was disappointing. There’s a nice variety of items on their menu, but my particular experience didn’t live up to the great reviews I’m seeing everywhere. I might consider trying again, though! " (*Curated Review*)
