Empire Buffet

I really like this little place. The selection is rather small, but kept fresh. Wontons are great. Within 25 miles, its the best buffet I know of.

Average americanized Chinese not real chines food by any means and not even good americanized! It was OK at best I ate the general sou chicken it was mushy the egg roll was ok. 2 stars as I have had worse. not spending another dime at this place. No 1 got sick so that’s a good sign. No good Chinese places in Putnam. If you like authentic Chinese drive to providence or woucester

PROS:
Food is cheap (6 for lunch, 10 for dinner)
A few items here and there are good
CON:
Most food is very low quality. Worst Chinese I’ve ever had. I accept it once in a while because it’s cheap. But it’s very, very low quality.
The staff are VERY rude. You can tell they are talking about you and making fun of you the whole time, especially when you are even slightly chubby or a minority.
I feel sick every time I eat here.

Food was gross and cold. They have crab legs but have a sign saying only one plate and they constantly only put like 2 legs in the pan. The ice cream cones were as stake as the waitress. She didn’t speak until it was time to pay and she actually said thank you. Wait until she finds out I left her no tip. I will never return and will be contacting the board of health as my girl friend has been throwing up since we left. Do yourself a favor and try Wendy’s or the pizza pace in the same plaza.

This place was SO weird. We were herded into their small front waiting area like cattle until a booth opened up. We didn’t even get to sit down before the waitress asked «What you drink?» A little startling, but I guess you could call this fast service.
Not much buffet selection for a vegetarian and a lot of stuff was cold. The ice cream machine served me the ice cream melted, I was sad. The food had some type of flavor so this was a plus, although it was not actually «Chinese.»
Waitstaff was very attentive and kept our drinks full and table clear of dishes but the personality of them would be equivocal to a dead fish. Whatever, it was around the holidays and they were slammed… I’ll let this go.
The most entertaining element of this buffet restaurant is their very elaborate sound system. Britney Spears was being played over the system WITH FULL BASS! It was very comical to be at a Chinese buffet and have your silverware bouncing on the table because of Ms. Spears.
I live about 30 minutes from here and only stopped in after some Christmas shopping. I would not drive out of my way to go here but if I was in the area I’d stop again. It’s cheap and usually there is no wait. Just don’t stop in here if you’re looking for actual Chinese food.

Worst Chinese food ever. Absolutely shameful. Beef teriyaki was inedible and everything was soggy and disgusting… like it had all been microwaved. I threw out my dinner without eating more than a crab Rangoon (also nasty)…two words… Just. Gross!

Went to Dr. confirmed case of food poisoning from eating here. On the bright side, it’s just a mild case, no antibiotics needed. So if you don’t mind cramping in pain, throwing up and other gross side effects of food poisoning than take your chances and eat here. I never will again.

Gonna vom! The smell in there is horrendous!

The food is always hot and fresh. The owner is amazing… she doesn’t speak alot of english but she is the epitomy of excellent guest service. We go in their occasionally and she always knows what our favorite dishes are and if they aren’t being served that evening, she gets it done (without us asking) and brings it to the table. We love this place.
