SO MANY GOOD SANDWICHES TO CHOOSE FROM!…read more I honestly had such a hard time picking a sandwich but I ended up getting The Ant and The Grasshopper. I got it delivered and it arrived perfectly. Absolutely delicious! 10/10. On top of that, I decided to also get their house salad. OMG who knew that romaine, cranberries, walnut, coconut flakes, crispy shallots and their house dressing would bring me so much joy. I wish I could have their house salad everyday. Next time, I'm getting My Father's Dragon- prosciutto, ham, brie, pate, fig spread, on ciabatta bread, served hot or cold. But FIG JAM?? Are you kidding me?? I love it in a savory sandwich so I could only imagine how delicious it must be.

Kra Pao chicken was delicious too. Grilled rice ball was meh, too salty. Desserts were ok, nothing too crazy. Pro tip: there's a public parking spot a block away, made parking much easier vs trying to find a street parking.

Must try dish are the crab ragoons if that is a staple dish you get at every Chinese takeout spot. Every dish was packed with explosive flavor, made you say "wow" after every bite and was sad once finished. Even tried sake for the first time and will be having it again. I live in Portland and will be coming back more frequently but also will be getting takeout too!

The ambience was peaceful and welcoming, we felt like we were at rest. The food hit the spot but seemed to lack some flavor. The veggies were well done, but I usually like the broth of my soup to be more flavor-packed. We were big fans of the cocktail presentations. Overall, good experience.... Would recommend.

I got the Homeboy drink that was smooth and also has crushed captain crunch on the lime, which was interesting. It was nice but the drink wasn't anything that special in my opinion. Place is a vibe though! My only gripe with this place is that the singular bathroom smells like vomit. I even left the place and someone asked me about the bathroom, which is apparently known as the vomit-smelling bathroom. So beware about that if you need to go.

Upon our arrival , we were seated immediately and welcomed by our friendly server, Conner. Our family always welcomes the opportunity to try a new dim sum restaurant. Our order included the Lobster Rangoons, Eggplant, Bacon Fried Rice, Kung Pao Chicken, Soup Dumplings, Steamed Pork Dumplings and Shrimp Har Gow. All items were incredible. Empire Chinese Kitchen delivers in all areas with exceptional service, quality food and a nice casual atmosphere.

Last night best night and we ended our trip with dinner at Empire Chinese Kitchen and I'm so glad…read morewe did. We came in on Saturday night knowing we would have to wait so we went to the bar. They had a special cocktail that night and it was so good I wish I could remember what it was called but you have to try whatever their specialty drink of the night is. Since we had a large party we ordered a lot because everything sounds so good so we did a bunch of Dim Sum and a few mans as well. We went with: Empire Eggrolls Lobster Rangoons Char Siu Baos Spicy Pork Belly Buns Pork Potsticks Shanghai Soup Dumplings Shu Mai Curry Udon Kung Pao Chicken Honestly everything was great but the stand outs for me were the Lobster Rangoons, Char Siu Baos, Pork Potsticks, Curry Udon, and the Kung Pao Chicken. First of Lobster Rangoons I mean how do you not. Portland Maine being Lobster Paradise this just makes sense and is a must try staple here. Just takes your normal Chinese Crab Rangoon to the next level. The Char Siu Baos where the best BBQ Pork Bun I have ever had. I know these can be hit or miss sometimes but Empire it doing it right truly the best I have had. The Pork Potsticks were also great. A top 3 dumpling I have had. I honestly wasn't expecting much but these were amazing. The Curry Udon was kind of a funny story. I said we should try this and my friends like me know it was vegan but for once that didn't bother me. This was great and so full of flavor. Plus you can't go wrong with Udon. Kung Pao Chicken is always my go to and this one takes the cake. The Chicken is lighty battered and so full of flavor. One of the best I have ever had. Honestly you can't go wrong with anything we had at Empire Chinese and I would 100% go back and do it all again. I'll end this review the way we started dinner. Lobsta Goooooonnnnsss!

Great place for an amazing vegetarian meal. We went for a Miso Soup, Thai Ginger Noodles and a Thai…read moreBasil Fried Rice. Miso soup was delicious and hearty - just what you need on a cold day outside. Both, noodles and fried rice were great. Btw their spice levels are catered to North American taste buds, so if you're an Asian just tell them highest spice levels and you'll probably still feel like moderate. Having said that, great flavours. The staff was nice and friendly. I used the restroom and they were clean and well maintained. Definitely recommended.

It is a tragedy that I was only planning to visit Portland for less than a day, so I didn't have the opportunity to dine in at the Green Elephant. However I would contemplate driving up from Boston just to have their Singapore noodles again. It was so flavorful, and the noodles were cooked to the perfect texture. The level 2 spice in the online ordering menu was not spicy at all, but the food still had a good amount of sauce and flavor. The dish was definitely heavy on the noodles and probably only had 4-5 bite-sized pieces of tofu for protein, but the noodles certainly were my favorite part. And for only about $15-20 per main dish, this is one of the more accessible/affordable restaurants for vegan options in Portland!
