What a bad experience.A friend and I went there for lunch on a Saturday.We walked in at 2pm and we were the only people in the in the restaurant and sat ourselves. The waitress came over and we asked for a Diet Coke and a glass of water.It took 15 minutes to get our drinks and still we were the only people there.So,it took another 10 minutes to take our order.We ordered the lunch special and an appetizer.In the mean time we had to swat at flies because the table behind us had dirty plates with food on them. I ordered beef with broccoli and the portion would have been fine if I was 5 years old. The portion of beef and broccoli was equivalent to about a half of a small take out container.The beef was tough and gave me a workout chewing it.The rice portion was about the size of a small scoop of ice cream.To top it off as we getting ready to leave the appetizer came out despite us asking about it’s where abouts 20 minutes earlier.Yes,we were still the only people in there. Need less to say I won’t be back.Go to Temple on Broad Street, the best Chinese food...

I've ordered from this place before and always was pleased but I unfortunately decided to order the pineapple fried rice with chicken added. To be honest, and I counted, there were five small pieces of chicken and tons of over cooked rice with some peppers scattered here and there. Mostly yellow rice mushy and not at all like fried rice at all. The other issue is that if I order oriental I expect chopsticks, only one set for four entrees. The other entrees were ok, the budda's delight is a hit, the shrimp skewers also very tasty. Overall, I am very disappointed to have to write this review. I ordered from Oriental Empire before and was very pleased.

EDIT: The owner vicki called me immediately following me voicing my concerns. She offered me a credit to come back and try something different. Excellent...
