" Empire has quickly become our favorite spot for Korean BBQ! The staff was super friendly and accommodating. The food was delicious and the portions were generous. The only thing that could use improvement was the time spent waiting for our main dishes, but the overall experience was terrific, and we are looking forward to returning! " (*Curated Review*)

" Empire Korean Steakhouse truly lives up to its reputation! Great BBQ with a selection of marinated meats that are simply delightful to eat. Enjoyed the fresh sushi as well!

" This was my first experience with Korean BBQ, and I was really pleased. The concept of grilling at the table was fun and engaging. The portions were generous, and I felt I got my money's worth. However, the initial service felt a bit rushed at first, which made it hard to grasp the menu. Once I got used to it, I thoroughly enjoyed my meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" I can’t say enough good things about Empire! The BBQ here is on another level; the marinated meats are tender and packed with flavor. Service was top-notch as the staff was knowledgeable and attentive to our needs. The side dishes they provided were also tasty. It all added to a very satisfying experience. I left feeling happy and full. " (*Curated Review*)
