Empire House Chinese

THIS IS THE WORST CHINESE FOOD I HAVE EVER HAD
I hate doing this because I know this is somebody’s business, but I honestly have never had Chinese food this bad ever. We ordered across the board: Beef Lo mien, Chicken and Broccoli, General Tso’s Chicken, egg rolls, dumplings, etc. — I’m sorry, all of it was inedible. It’s a shame, they’re not too far from me and I was hoping it was good, because I come home late sometimes and can’t cook. Old broccoli, horrible chicken flavor, dumplings tasted like they came out of a bag and the beef lo mien was so bad, I gave it to the dogs.
I don’t think these people should make food for public consumption.

just ate my takeaway from this place, well…
I have ordered extra hot dish, came out even not mild. seems they try to get away with american taste — major NO for me.
the hot and sour soup was neither hot or sour. again, tasteless mix of ingredients.
will not order again. need some spices/​taste in my food.

I have a love and hate relationship with this place. I love the food it’s really fantastic hence the three stars but if it wasn’t for their slow delivery it would be all 5. This used to be our go to place but about a year ago either their ownership changed or something change but their delivery is horrible. Don’t get me wrong they’re always apologetic and they always nice on the phone it’s just that when you’re hungry, and you want dinner, you want something in a relatively decent amount of time.

The person answering the phone has a bad additude .then when they get your order completely wrong they refuse to change it .for their prices the food is no different from any other place. nothing special… if you order
good luck

Most Chinese restaurant’s menu are uniform style, just the chef who made the differences. Ordered a General T Chicken and a steam chicken broccoli with sauce on the side. Food taste decent overall. The delivery guy was polite enough to earned an extra star. Will order again.

My wife and I just had the worst Chinese food of our lives. The shrimp in my shrimp with lobster sauce had not been de-​veined, and the «lobster sauce» itself had what looked like pieces of leftover beef in it. My spring rolls tasted like rancid cooking oil. My wife’s sesame «beef» looked like they took very fatty leftover boneless ribs and breaded them. The food was borderline in-​edible and certainly left the both of us questioning all the positive reviews here.

Ordered bbq wings they gave me buffalo wings
I called back the place, which they gave hella attitude after I said my order was wrong
They sent the right order, ASKED FOR THE FOOD BACK… When i opened the box I checked it thoroughly and found a piece of hair in my chicken

Love their food. They have very good ribs and the best veg moo shu I have ever had.
We order from there at least 5 times a month and we are always very happy.

This is by far the best Chinese food delivery in this area of Brooklyn. I have had almost everything on their menu and I have no complaints. They make really great fried rice and ribs. I especially love the shrimp in garlic sauce as well. Highly recommend ordering from here! Their delivery is also super fast and the delivery guy is amazingly nice and funny!

We’ve ordered here several times and thought it was quick, adequate food. When we ordered from seemless tonight, the order time was 45 min. to one hour. After about an hour and 20 minutes, we called the restaurant to see where the order was. My wife talked to Cindy (what name she would give us – whoever worked at 8:30pm on 12/​16/​2014. She said the food had been delivered. We told her that the food certainly isn’t here.
This went back and forth for quite awhile. My wife told her that every time we have a delivery from their restaurant, we sign a paper (the seemless printout). Did she have it. She said yes, her boyfriend delivered the food and she was looking at the signed printout.
My wife said woah. we didn’t sign anything, we didn’t get food. We want to see this paper.
She then fessed up and said that she didn’t have a paper.
We said fine. Have your boyfriend at least describe our hallway in the building, what does our door look like, what large thing is next to our door – anything about our building. They were stumped.
She called back and said that its a new driver. Do we want to redeliver?
I said, We’ve already ordered somewhere else – but the bigger issue, are you now admitting that you really didn’t deliver? She just kept saying that its not the usual driver.
I’m hoping we can get our money back and I’d like for the owner to call, the phone # will be on the Seemless order #99 554 7393C.

I eat here all the time. No complaints. As long as I’m living in the neighborhood this is my spot.

Been ordering here for a really long time now. Never really bothered with the delivery since I either eat in or do pickup. I have to say the inside is clean and the workers are very very nice. Food here is really spot on.

I order and pickup from these guys quite frequently. So far they haven’t disappointed me yet. Food is always good and has a consistent flavor. Both delivery and pickup is very quick. Its also conveniently located where you can just park and run in to grab your food without having to search for parking or risking getting a ticket.
As far as the inside, its your typical Chinese takeout spot. Counter with the kitchen in back and a few tables out front which no one ever uses for eating.
It is very inexpensive also for the food and quality that you are getting here.
Will definitely return here.

Came across this Chinese fast food by accident on grub hub because I couldn’t find my usual Chinese spot menu on my fridge. Whatever’s didn’t think I can go wrong with any Chinese fast food so I gave this one a shot and yup 5 stars, cheap and good. Same deals and lunch specials are great, food is good for it’s price. I don’t know why people are rating this place 1 – 2 stars… it’s $ 5 for a filling meal!

I don’t know why this place has a three star. Food is really good and the prices are very reasonable. Would definitely order here again!

Ordered today to try a new place on seamless. Wontons were ok but more hard than crispy. Chicken dumplings seamed that they were more like empanadas. No idea what wrapper they used but did not seem to be rice based. Also ordered roast pork egg foo young. Maybe it is just me but the gravy sauce seemed too dark where as I am use to a more creamy lighter gravy. All and all, was not very impressed and will prob not order again

I ate thr few tymz… by mistake lol… I ordered sesame chicken… hot n sour soup… n Chinese mixed vegetable with white rice… none of them wr tasty… thry wr medicore (hardly)…next time I ordered beef with pepper stake n white rice, blsk musroom n vegetable with rice… the delivery wad awfully long… n dey forgot to put any napkin, spoon… n the food was horrible… terrible.yakki.smelly…ewwwwwewwww@!!@!..
Never gonna order frm thr… :l

I’ve only ever gotten delivery via GrubHub but the delivery comes VERY fast, the food is hot, and considering the neighborhood, decent vegetarian food with lots of tofu options.

We ordered delivery from them today for lunch and everything was perfect! I wish I still lived in the neighborhood and could order from them every week again! The prices are also unbeatable.
Dear Empire House, please deliver to Manhattan…
Thanks,
Lauren

A winning business model: good food + cheap prices + accept cc’s + fast delivery = success.
