Empire Wok

This Chinese restaurant has gone downhill and isn’t the average spot it once used to be. The food from this place used to be very good back in the day (year 2000) our family used to order from here ALL the time. We moved from the area and while visiting a few times recently thought of ordering from here again. I thought my first time back I just got unlucky but after giving them repeating chances I was really surprised and have finally given up. I have to admit it has downgraded severely. The sesame chicken is usually soggy. The chicken broccoli and garlic sauce had no taste to it. The employees are not friendly at all they conduct themselves like they doing us a favor not cool. I’m very disappointed with this place would not be ordering from here again.

I’m sorry but this place just sucks. I’ve ordered probably 20 times out of sheer desperation, but let’s be serious, nothing is good about this place.
Out of the 100’s of Chinese Restaurants I’ve ordered from over the years, this is in the bottom echelon.
Edit: The chicken w/​broccoli here is awful. The Kung Pao is really bad too. Sesame Chicken /​General Tso’s is also pretty bad.
2 thumbs down.

Just picked up some takeout from here and it was all really delicious. I love two blocks away, from the time I called and left my house, to the time I arrived, my food was ready! I’m vegetarian so we ordered the triple jade, bean curd with mushrooms, and pan fried vegetable noodles. Nothing was overly greasy or drowning in sauce, just really tasty!
Will definitely be returning, I prefer this place over the other neighborhood Chinese spots.

I used to get delivery from Empire Wok years back. The food used to be decent. I recently switched my diet to vegetables, fruits, nuts, and fish. This urge to get spring rolls and lo mein came over me and I decided to drive there and pick some up. vegetable lo mein was on the lunch special which saved me some money, or so I thought. I got home and the food was horrible. The lo mein was dry and smelled old. The spring rolls were also gross. One had a piece of meat in it. I almost threw up. I ended up throwing everything away. This place got one star because I was given over seven duck sauces to drown that garbage.

House special Chow mein, pan fried wontons, Homemade ice tea. Always busy and fresh.

Ordered chicken and broccoli w/​pork fried rice, spring roll and shrimp dumplings. Im sorry to say, but it wasnt very good.
Usually, shrimp dumplings are round, with ground shrimp inside them. This was shaped like a regular sized dumpling (enough to fit 3 jumbo sized shrimp) with not one, but HALF of a BABY shrimp. I cook everyday, so i know what bad oil tastes and smells like; The dumplings were SMOTHERED in this old sesame seed oil. I literally CRINGED after i took the first bite.
Spring Roll was ok. It was essentially a mini egg roll. All the spring rolls i’ve ever ordered, had a different composition of vegetables inside. Again. this was like a small egg roll –_​–
Rice did not have much taste to it. Salt didnt help. It tasted as if i were eating while having a cold.
If i just didnt like the recipe, i woulda given them two or three stars. But i just dont agree with their distribution and quality of ingredients. I have yet to find a good Chinese place in the bx.

Dear Empire Wok,
Thank you for being there to nourish my belly.
Signed,
Full n Happy

Empire Wok is your average local Chinese take out restaurant and I’ve been eating here since I was in high school.
They carry all of the regular take out delights.
There are tables you can eat at, but its not exactly a place that offers décor or atmosphere.
Their delivery is really fast (an order to the area will come in 15 minutes) and they are pretty consistent with their food.
You can’t go wrong with Empire Wok.
