This placer is now called Empire 1 but its the same address. I haven’t been to this place in over year, when it was still New Empire & they sold Sushi as well. The service and food was horrible then. I was running low on time and starving so i decided to give this place another shot and I’m glad I did. First off there must be new owners because the new woman who helped was very nice and polite, not like the last one. The food is pretty good, I had an egg roll, it was fresh and crisp and not greasy. The General Tso’s Chicken which was perfect, nice and tender and crispy, not rubbery and fatty like so many other places. The rice was really good too, i think they may put some mint in the rice which doesn’t sound like it would mesh but it does, it was a pleasant surprise. My only complaint is the Wonton Soup, the wanton was a little doughy, i prefer it to be firmer and more yellow in color, also, there were no pork strips in the broth, why does everyone leave those out now a days? There was also a hint of mint here which was very good! All in all I was please and will order again.

Fries came soggy and extremely salty. Chicken nuggets were stale and salty as well. Shrimp with broccoli was not great either. No free fortune cookie or soda. Overall bad experience.

I called 15 minutes prior to closing during non-stop rain and the woman answering the phone was one of the sweetest people you could have talked to. They were happy to take my order and deliver, and accepted credit card payment which is always a plus. Placing the order was very easy, no communication issues at all. The menu i had had an extensive sushi offering, but i guess they have discontinued that portion of their menu. Everything arrived in about 15 minutes, steaming hot, but without an updated menu– I forgot to ask but maybe they just haven’t updated them yet. I ordered steamed mixed vegetables with shrimp, and crab rangoon(8), $ 16 total. The Rangoon was 5÷5− best I’ve had around here so far. The shrimp was huge and perfectly cooked, and they threw in a pint of brown rice which was very good. The food was very clean tasting, not greasy at all. Overall, this was out of left field one of the best take out experiences I have has in this area. Score!
