I'm not gonna lie, I was excited to try it and waited patiently in line to buy some. No one complained about the wait, as the staff efficiently took everyone's order. I was mesmerized, watching the scratch made lil buns sizzle, brown and cook. My only downfall in this whole experience was that I didn't eat them immediately. I should've found a seat stat, and enjoyed them hot. Instead, I dragged them back to eat shortly after. Indeed the worst mistake ever. If I'd have eaten them right away, I would have experienced the juicy explosion in my mouth all while enjoying the crisp bottom of said lil bun. Sad....i will have to have a do over here again!

This is a super popular supermarket in Chinatown! My parents took me here often on weekends and…read morealways bought some food before going home. Although I do not come to Chinatown often anymore but when we do, I come with my daughter! This place is split into two parts. One part is like a regular supermarket with limited items like marinated meat and seafood and some pantry stables like noodles. The marinated meats, you buy by pound and you can cook them at home during the week. This is very convenient and takes the prep work out of the way! My personal favorite is the marinated sole. All I have to do is cook rice, steam the fish with ginger, then add scallion oil - weekday dinner is done, just like that! My husband loves the marinated meats, they are delicious and perfect for meal preps. The second part of the place is what Deluxe is famous for - the food market, it is a combination of hot Chinese dishes over rice, stir-fry noodles, bakery, roasted meats, cold marinated meats, and sushi. Now, I must admit that the food items here taste decent and very affordable but do not expect it to be the best. It does the job and feeds the family, especially in this economy! We like the Fried Salt and Pepper Pork Chops and it seems like it is one of the most popular items here as I see them refill it every time I come here. This is a must visit if you're ever in Chinatown! This place is always busy and super crowded, the best time to come is during morning hours before lunch!

Every time I visit NYC I'd stop by here for chat siu and the crispy roast pork since my mom told me…read moreabout this place almost a decade ago and each time it was awesome - a lb of each to go (sometimes an order of duck or chicken as well) with a hot pot of rice at home and some blanched veggies to balance everything out. I wish I've yelped about those great experiences because on this last visit it was unfortunately terrible. If I could give it 0 stars I would but that's not an option kinda terrible. The last time I visited was more than a year 1/2 ago and it seems they've changed their service on the cut meats. Seems like they only have precut chunks which then gets cut down into smaller pieces (?!!). And there were only two cooked chickens hanging (?!!) Well, I wasn't sure and while I was waiting in line for my usual cuts of meat I noticed the meat cutting/chopping lady (we'll call her the chopper) pouring a ladle of sauce on the customer's char siu (?!!). While the guy in front of me ordered his cuts I asked the chopper if I can ask her a question to which she glanced at me and then looked away. No biggie, I'll ask when it's *my turn*. And when it was I asked her in Cantonese: "excuse me, when were the meats grilled? Is it today (this morning) or are they yesterday's cuts from the fridge and I should re-heat?" She gave me a look and replied "if they're not made today when would they've been made?" me: (confused look) I don't know? her: turns her head left to look at the wall "what time is it now? If we didn't roast it this morning what time would we have done so?" me: i don't know which is why i'm asking you? her: OBVIOUSLY it was made today me: you know what i'm not buying anymore. I asked a question and I don't like your attitude (tone). As i walked to the entrance she continued her belittling muttering so i got angry and turned around to state loudly i asked her a simple question but she was rude and condescending to which I can't give me business support to!!

However when I grilled them smelled so wired l can't explain it didn't smell tasty at all. Then my first bite was Oh Noooo! I really wanted scream from the top of my lungs but I didn't I couldn't in front of my wife.. It was no juicy, no flavored, no beef, it's like l was chewing a mousepad even though it was cooked medium. I am not a meat expert but I can tell this is NOT A PRIME RIBEYE. Are we ripped off?

It is rare to feel so welcomed somewhere that you have never been to. I left feeling as if John and I had been friends for years. I had come in specifically for the hot dogs and bacon. It was the end of the day and not much was left in the case. Which should have been disappointing but instead I found it exciting. A butcher that sells out of everything, shows me everything is fresh. If this place was in Brooklyn the lines would be down the street. I have waited on lines and paid much more for food that was subpar. Empire is authentic and everything I imagine old NY was like. In the end I left with hot dogs, bacon and a few brats. I couldn't wait to get home to cook it all. If you like a hot dog with a snap, you have to try these. They were the best hot dogs I have ever had. I don't think I can ever eat a packaged hot dog again. These dogs were complex but simply delicious. They were perfect. Store bought dogs are so salty. These were not. The brats were just as epic. Bacon will be cooked in the am. I can't wait to come back and try more!

The family that operates this joint is very friendly and is always happy to make your dining experience wonderful! They don't pressure you on the most expensive meat, but ask more about what youre craving, when you're going to eat it, and how your going to eat it because customer satisfaction seems key here. Sometimes they give you some scallions!
