I agree with prior posters, if you have a hankering for good, we'll-executed Chinese American food, this is your place. Ordered: pan fried dumplings (a definite cut above most local Chinese takeout, must be either a higher quality wrapper or great execution or both), the winning dish of roast pork with green beans (superb flavoring with tender green beans and perfectly roasted pork - nicely flavored and not overly sweet and cloying sauce), Szechuan chicken (good slicing with tender broccoli and nicely wok fried chicken), pork fried rice (fine). Look, I'm usually one of those people that prefer authentic regional Chinese cuisine and, yes, that was baby corn in the Szechuan chicken, but this was truly excellent. Worth a five star review.

Great food, great price. Some of the best American Chinese food, not authentic but still delicious. If you are trying to decide between expensive "authentic" Chinese restaurant that will most likely turn out to be meh and this absolutely great Americanized Chinese spot, there's not comparison. Empire Express every time.

Good Chinese food take out or eat in with a small daily buffet where you can select from. The staff is friendly and helpful. Rice or lo mein and one buffet item is currently $3.50. I would give it five stars but the broken floor tiles need to be replaced and the lavatory updated.

Pretty staple Chinese delivery food. Significantly cheaper than some of the surrounding Chinese places. The delivery took the exact amount of time stated on seamless (45 min), the food was hot and fresh tasting. They also really listened to my special requests (all white meat chicken in the General Tso's chicken, light on the oil in the Mei Fun). The only annoying thing was that they called me twice and said that the delivery guy was outside, but he wasn't... So they must have had the...

Great meal, great price, generous portions: I left full and happy. Honestly, when I first walked in, I wasn't sure. A bare-bones establishment with simple, indoor, booth-style seating. However, for a very reasonable price, I was able to get a large serving of either lo mein or rice with four, yes four, choices. There was so much meat with mine I couldn't finish it all. But it was all delicious and I'll definitely return when I'm in...
