" Absolutely loved everything about Empire! The presentation of each dish blew me away. We had a mix of rolls and small plates, and I was especially wowed by the fried rice. It had an immense depth of flavor that just made me want more—even after we were stuffed! The bartenders also crafted some elaborate cocktails that paired well. Will be coming back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" Walking into Empire, I was hit by the beautiful decor and lively music. However, once the food arrived, it lacked the flavors I was expecting. We had some sushi and a rice bowl, and while you could tell it was fresh, it just didn’t have that wow factor. I enjoyed the cocktails, and the ambiance is perfect for a night out with friends. " (*Curated Review*)

" The food at Empire is decent but not exceptional. The appetizers we tried didn’t have much flavor and were pretty average compared to other places I've been. The highlight was definitely the ambiance, which is stylish and lively, but that alone doesn’t warrant the price. Service was friendly, but I think the restaurant needs to work on the food quality to match the vibe. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was genuinely disappointed after dining at Empire. The prices are steep and while the atmosphere is fabulous, the food was just not aligned with the hype. We had a variety of dishes; some were bland, and one dish was poorly executed. Service lacked the attention to detail I expected as well. I would suggest checking other places first. " (*Curated Review*)

" Though I had high hopes for Empire, my visit left me a bit disappointed. The atmosphere captured my heart, but the food lagged behind. I tried the tempura shrimp, which was underwhelming compared to what I hoped. Service was friendly but inconsistent. I’d recommend visiting if you’re in a group, maybe to try their fun drinks but don’t expect too much from the food. " (*Curated Review*)

" Empire is high on my list of best restaurants in Boston! The food is nothing short of delicious. The black pepper noodles brought the perfect amount of spice, and all dishes we tried were prepared beautifully. The atmosphere buzzed just right, with a mix between energetic and cozy. As for service, the staff was attentive and friendly without being overbearing. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" We visited Empire for a casual dinner and found it to be quite trendy. The drink menu is impressive with unique flavors, but the food was a bit hit-or-miss. I loved the miso soup, but the dumplings fell flat. Decent atmosphere, but be prepared for quite a lively crowd especially on weekends. I might return, but I’d like to try something different next time. " (*Curated Review*)
