" Empire Garden is an unassuming Asian restaurant in a strip mall, but the food speaks for itself! I had their shrimp tempura and it was crispy and light, paired with a lovely dipping sauce. I also had their fried rice, which was seasoned perfectly. The service was quick, and I appreciated how clean the place felt. Can't wait to come back to explore more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve eaten at a lot of Chinese restaurants, and Empire Garden stands out for sure! The chicken with cashew nuts was excellent—the freshness of the vegetables was a pleasant surprise. I was also impressed by the portion sizes; I could barely finish my meal. Service was prompt and helpful, and the restaurant felt clean and welcoming. If you’re looking for some good Chinese food, this is it! " (*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 can't say enough good things about Empire Garden! The service is always friendly, and the food is top-notch every time I visit. I had the red curry, and it was the perfect mixture of spicy and sweet! I should warn you about the portion sizes, though—they're massive. I left with a full stomach and enough leftovers for dinner. It's a fantastic spot for family outings. " (*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*)
