General Tso’s Chicken Dinner Combo Boneless Spare Ribs Dinner Combo

Located on the intersection of Madison Avenue and Veterans Plaza is a locally owned Chinese takeout spot.

Out of all the choices on the takeout menu, I decided to explore the two most popular plates.

General Tso’s Chicken Dinner Combo: The hot, spicy chicken is chewy on the inside while slightly crunchy on the outside; expect a mild kick.

I’m satisfied broccoli was included, but my only critique is that I would have preferred that the vegetable was mixed in with the tangy sauce.

Also included with this combo is pork fried rice and wonton soup. The three wontons and the broth were piping hot.

The noodles go hand in hand with the soup. It is a win win whether you choose to have them dry or soaked.

Boneless Spare Ribs Dinner Combo: The ribs are tender and chewy with a savory taste.

For this combo, I explored the white rice and egg roll. This appetizer was filled with cabbage and ground pork. I enjoyed it, but the size of the egg roll could have been slightly larger with a tad bit more pork.

Both combos can also be purchased as a lunch special if you arrive between 11:00 AM and 3:00 PM.

An adequate amount of seating is available if you decide to dine in.

Empire Szechaun is open six days per week; arrive any day except Tuesday.

I highly recommend this location if you are on the go and need a quick meal, especially the two popular menu items.

Decided to give them a try and this is the worst Chinese food I have ever had. I ordered vegetable lo Mein and shrimp fried rice. The most simple dishes. I open the lo Mein and immediately saw it was dry. So I dump it out of the box thinking maybe the juice is at the bottom but no nothing. It was so dry it was stuck to the box it comes in. The shrimp fried rice was so bland not even soy sauce helped. I called to see if they can do anything about it like give me my money back and he said a lot of customers call to complain about the the issue. That they make food ahead of time so yes I am eating a day old food. I told him yeah I can tell it’s a day old. He couldn’t do anything for me and was ok with a bad review. Beware...

There are a lot of Chinese restaurants in the area. I decided to give each of them a chance since I just moved to the area. The food was not the best. Got two orders of food, an order of boneless spare ribs with rice and an order of pork in garlic sauce with rice. The pork with garlic was fine but the spare ribs were not good. The meat tasted super off and gross… I don’t know if it was just that one time or if that’s what they serve regularly. My bf tasted it and he said the meat tasted like it was bad meat. Will not be buying from them again. Their prices were not bad but quality definitely took...
