Empire Buffet

The sushi is something to avoid I’m not quite sure what is going on with it but if you like your stomach stay away. The service is spot on with clean tables and prompt service and the selection is very good although I wish the had more Chinese food options and fewer American options or at least put all the American options on one side. Taste is pretty spot on and I love the Rangoon which always makes its way onto the plate.

Flavorless. Even the peel and eat shrimp were over cooked and bland. The hot and sour soup was good. Not much else

The Honey Chicken was out of this world. May have been the best meal I’ve eaten in years. The gift shop only adds to the pleasurable environment. Also, the films playing on the televisions depict tranquil and heartwarming imagery. I highly recommend this for any anniversary or romantic outing. Its just plain fun. Hey, the full bar doesn’t hurt either.

Review: Friday, August 16; 6:30pm
Upon arriving, I noticed that the décor was a little mix-​mashed and a tad unappealing. Nevertheless, the staff was friendly and quick, and of course, spoke Chinese, so it was somewhat hard to understand them on certain occasions, but they were helpful.
I went up to the buffet, and had a heck of a hard time finding steamed rice. So I just stuck to the hundred’ flavors chicken, and honey chicken. It was well prepared, and very delicious! After I was already full, I found the rice hidden in a crockpot on the side of the buffet. As depressed as I was (I love rice!) I went to get dessert. The dessert buffet is bigger than the food buffet and has a hearty selection to. I went to the ice cream cart and got Chocolate Chip Ice cream. It tasted great, and filled me up.
I overall rate this place 3.75 stars.
At the end they gave us fortune cookies with our bill.

Empire Buffet review 6.17.13
Intro: Greeted and seated quick.
Buffet food quality update: Not as good as last month when I went there. The salmon was dry and hard (it’s supposed to be creamy and cheesy and melt in your mouth). The Clams tasted soapy and overcooked. The Crab Salad was too gluey feeling and tasted kinda soapy. The sushi tasted a bit soapy. The only decent thing I had was the cheesy shrooms. I was appaled that the quality went down. Also some of the meat looked like it sat out a long time and did not look appetizing.
Bathroom cleanliness: Made me loose my appetite. One of the toilets didn’t flush since there was a sign that said to not put TP in the toilet. You had to use the trash and it was really nasty. This is also the place where the employees use the bathroom so that does not make one confident in the staff’s preparation of food. Disgusting. Also the sink had low pressure and the nozzle does not go far out enough so your hands touch more germy surfaces. This is only the second time I had to use the bathroom in this place and the first time it was not this bad. The air hand dryer was worthless so I had to grab TP to dry my hands.
Service: Ok. Not friendly but not mean or rude. Refills came at an ok pace.
Overall: It’s going downhill and this visit was not very pleasant. Lowering rating to 1.8 stars for this visit.
Recommended: Not at this time. They may have had a bad day but the bathroom stuff was inexcusable.

It is a chinese buffet, enough said, iced tea is very good, donuts are good,
