Hot and sour soup was hearty and spicy and had a subtle umami I could not put my finger on, but tasted great. Egg foo young pancakes were not as "burnt stringy" as I like them, but were firm and had a great taste with the brown gravy. Moo shoo chicken had a good amount of chicken, pancakes were tasty and had a very delicious, light sauce. Vegetable fried rice was good, It was the yellow, saffron type rice and had a good taste. Overall, the amount of food was substantial. Double bagged. Very good value for the money. Since China Moon in Red Bank closed we have been searching for a good Chinese take out. Well, we found it!

It was only $12 total for the lunch special and it came with a fried egg eggroll that had pork and cabbage. I wish there were no pork in there, but it is what it is. I loved the fresh vegetables that they put in there and they made it really fast in under 10 minutes, and the only thing I wished was at the sauce was not including that gelatin and it was too strong with not a pure soy sauce taste, but kind of like a preserved taste. Otherwise, they would get five stars if the sauce was more my style, which would be pure healthy without any starches added and more just soy sauce and garlic and onion. Either way it's a great service for the community. It's right next to the Doubletree hotel, which is about 1 mile away and four minute drive. I can't complain otherwise.

Hands down best lo mien and egg rolls I've had. Definitely a hidden gem. Keep up the good work!…read moreAnd if you know me, you'd know I'm a Chinese food snob. This place passed the taste test with flying colors

The server was extremely friendly, truly a standout, warm, attentive, and just wonderful throughout our visit. There was a slightly awkward moment at the entrance: a sign told us to wait to be seated, but no one was there to greet us. Instead, a man behind the bar called out from across the room to ask how many were in our party, then simply told us to "sit anywhere." It wasn't a big deal, but it felt a little off-putting and impersonal. As for the food: The wonton soup had good flavor but was just warm which was disappointing on a freezing cold day when a hot bowl of soup would have hit the spot. The pork bun and dumplings were delicious. The tea was also very good, and the overall service was prompt and efficient. It's a solid place with a friendly atmosphere and tasty dishes. Despite the small oddities, I'd say it's definitely worth a visit if you're in the area.

Very very good food, hasn't changed since they opened, one of the most consistent places I've been too. Run by the same family, extremely nice people, I've never had a problem with them in all the years I've gone there and if there is a problem it is always fixed quickly. They are also very fast at normal capacity. Their menu is very generic but they are willing to make anything you ask of them, I've always had custom dishes made up with no problems read more

We moved away from this area years ago, but we were here visiting family and decided to try it…read moreagain, because we remembered liking it. Almost everything was terrible. Chicken and broccoli had rotten white pieces of broccoli and the chicken was mostly bad pieces. The sauce had the consistency of wet cat food, and smelled like it. It didn't taste good either. The beef and broccoli wasn't good. The beef was sliced ultra-thin and looked like it was on its last leg. The sauce was lame. The kung pao chicken had a decent sauce - not great, but decent. And nice veggies. But the chicken seemed like it was all the left-over chopped up dark-meat scraps and grizzle. Basically inedible. Sesame chicken wasn't that bad tasting but dark meat chicken. And poor quality meat. The sweet and sour chicken was ok but it's probably hard to mess up fried chicken with dipping sauce. The crab rangoons were good also. But I wouldn't frequent a restaurant if the only redeeming thing they make is an appetizer. Also, their online ordering system is awful. There are no descriptions for the dishes and you can't pay for your food online. You have to pay when you get there. It's a little bizarre and confusing. I wish they at least had a description for each dish and maybe even a picture on the online menu. Or they should post a picture of the actual store menu on their website. People may have no idea what moo goo gai pan is (I don't!). Pretty disappointing. But we aren't local so we won't be back no matter what.

I opted for delivery, and it arrived incredibly fast. Not only was it fast, but it was also so hot that we actually had to let it cool off before eating--something I rarely experience with delivery orders! The Chicken Lo Mein was packed with tender chicken, perfectly cooked noodles, and fresh veggies, all coated in a delicious savory sauce. The Roast Pork Fried Rice was flavorful, and the Egg Roll was crispy and satisfying. The portion sizes were generous, making it an excellent value. If you're craving tasty Chinese and Thai cuisine with lightning-fast delivery, Eastern Empire is the place to go. I can't speak for the ambiance except I went to pick up a few times. It was clean and counter staff was friendly. Highly recommended!

Joy House and Dunkin Donuts were my only options if I didn't want to get home at 2:30AM. Even though Joy House wasn't my dream destination, I'm glad I checked it out. How seriously do they take the ribs? They hand out plastic gloves. There was a sauce aplenty but the preparation maintained the fibrous integrity of the meat. The respectably spicy sauce on the kung po shrimp was an effective cure for my cold, at least momentarily, although I would have liked to swap out some of the peanuts for more vegetables.
