" I'm a huge fan of authentic Asian flavors, and I was curious to try Empire Garden after hearing positive recommendations. I ordered the Pad Thai, and unfortunately, it was rather lacking in flavor. The shrimp were definitely fresh, but the noodles did not hit the mark for me. However, the staff was extremely friendly, and I appreciated their attentiveness. I'll give this place another shot with a different dish next time because the atmosphere was charming and clean. " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I have been coming to Empire Garden for years and it has never disappointed us. The food is always consistent. My kids love the fried rice and I can't resist their General Tso's chicken; it's the best in town! We usually order takeout, and the portions are so generous that we always have leftovers. The staff is always friendly and they make a point to remember regular customers. Definitely a staple restaurant in our routine. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Empire Garden for the first time last week, and I can honestly say I was pleasantly surprised. I ordered the sweet and sour chicken, and while the sauce was delicious, I found the chicken to be a little dry. The dim sum appetizers, though, were fabulous and very fresh. The service was quick and attentive; our server checked on us frequently without being intrusive. It's a great spot for a casual night out with friends or family, and I definitely plan to return soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" I really wanted to love this place as it came highly recommended, but my experience was hit or miss. The chicken lo mein was decent but not spectacular. On the positive side, the crab rangoon was definitely the best I’ve had in the area—crispy and filled generously with cream cheese. The atmosphere was nice but got a bit loud as the night went on. I think I'll try them again, perhaps for lunch next time when it's quieter. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high expectations for Empire Garden, but I must admit I was somewhat disappointed. The food was decent, but my pad thai fell flat—lacking flavor and the noodles were overcooked. The only saving grace was the staff who were genuinely nice and helpful. I’m open to giving it another try but will be more cautious about my choices next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I stumbled upon Empire Garden while searching for local eateries, and it did not disappoint! The orange chicken was crispy but could have benefited from a little more sauce. Overall, the atmosphere was pleasant, and the staff was friendly. I left happy and will be back to try the dumplings next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Empire Garden is the hidden gem of Asian cuisine in this area! I had the pleasure of trying their Thai red curry and it was perfectly balanced between spicy and sweet. The atmosphere was relaxed, conducive to good conversations, and the service made sure to check on us throughout our meal. I can't wait for my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)
