The place is a takeout place that has a dinning area.... The ambiance is comfortable and the space is clean. Once you order your food from the menu they are very flexible to accommodate the changes you might like in your order . Once done.. not much of a wait. The food is delicious with a healthy portion which I like. I've tried different dishes on the menu and all did not disappoint. My favorite dish is the chicken Pad tai... with extra sauce to make it wet... they know exactly what I'm saying... lol. Even when I get home from this establishment my food is still hot. Overall this is my go to place to order from when I'm in the mood for Asian food . read more

Empire East NY - Quick lunch - Asian Fusion Near Me - Staten Island, New York

Here's another empire east location that never fails me! Born in Manhattan Chinatown, Breed in Brooklyn Chinatown, I'm always looking for Chinese food (like authentic Chinese food). I seem to have a fifth sense when I want to locate one. So then, I decided to give this place a try. In reality my coworkers recommended this place, they call it "sister". Walked in, oh boy looks like an American Chinese. I wonder if this place would fail me, was my 1st instinct. Then I looked over the menu, and saw it's more like fusion asian: cantonese, schichuan, Thai, Vietnamese. So I decided to go for the spicy shredded beef noodle soup. I wanted to see how authentic they were so I decided to go for hor fun noodles. To my surprise, they had it. My first sip into the noodles I was surprised and covered in joy. Perhaps it's the overloaded msg, hot oil, delicious broth, or it may be my craving for authentic Chinese on the island. Either way, it was good. Since then I've been going to Empire East (there are a few on the island) for Cantonese food. I've tried their eggplant chicken over rice, wonton noodle soup, Thai chicken wrap, Dan Dan noodles, etc. they never disappoint and it satisfies my craving when I'm on the island. read more

The food is so fresh. Love the ramen soups and bbq ribs on the bone with veggie fried rice. Wonton soup is the best. Pricy but well worth it! read more

Visiting my family in Staten Island from Las Vegas. They suggested Chinese food tonight and they have been coming to this restaurant. So happy with the choices they got. Hot and sour soup, beef with eggplant and the drunken chicken noodles! Everything was tasty and delicious!! If I ever return visiting them again, this would be the gonto place for sure!! Sorry no pics because we were too hungy to take photos!! read more

There's not a lot of Thai food restaurants near where I live, so I wanted to try out this place when I found out they have a Pan-Asian cuisine. COVID note: I would recommend to call in for pick up before heading there. The entrance to the restaurant served as the cash register and no one can go in to the restaurant. I simply gave my number associated with the order since it was already prepared. It was a quick and efficient transaction with limited contact. Appetizer: Thai Spring Rolls was a nice starter. It was very juicy and did not require the use of the sauce that accompanied the dish. Main: Pad Thai with chicken was the dish I was looking forward to eat. I've tried Pad Thai dishes in varies places and was curious to gauge how they fared. Overall, it was very good, a bit dry however with a squeeze of the lime it made it better. There was a generous amount of chopped peanuts and chicken. There was a generous amount of noodles and I was able to save a half for the next day. The dishes here were very good and definitely would come back for more pad Thai. read more

Okay I've only done takeout of their seafood soup with udon noodles, but it is the best and I can't bring myself to try anything else. So anyway, it comes with shrimp and scallops and crap meat and veggies and tons of noodles and crunchy things and lots of broth. It's $13 but it's so filling it could be 2 meals. Or one the way I do it. I put off reviewing for a while since I literally always get drawn into one item and I get it to go, but I've done it many times, so I think my enthusiasm shows that it is worth a good review. read more

Empire East NY - Seafood noodle soup - Asian Fusion Near Me - Staten Island, New York

Awesome soup! When my wife and I lived in Staten Island, this was our go to soup place. So many variations! Big crunchy noodles for the soup. Looking for soup? You can't go wrong. read more

This place and its sister location is AMAZING! As far as Americanized Chinese takeout it's as good as it's going to get on Staten Island but let's not forget that this isn't your traditional Chinese restaurant you'd expect to find in Chinatown. Let me explain how this place works for all those interested. The portions in this place seem to be a bit larger than other take outs so the prices will be a bit higher but the quality and the taste are unmatched. That's what many reviewers on here seem to complain about. It isn't the taste they cry and moan about but it's the prices they pay for a family style portion that gets them. Go to the hood if you want cheap food. End of rant. Onto the food. The quality could easily be seen in this place. The vegetables are vibrant and always seem fresh along with everything else. They have menu items here you simply won't find anywhere else. Expect to find Chinese, Thai, and Japanese here. Most importantly the place is SPOTLESS! You could literally eat of the floor. I'd recommend this place! read more

The shrimp wonton noodle soup and chicken/shrimp dumplings are delicious. Your food is ready quickly and staff is willing to add whatever you need to your order. read more

Pros: Shrimp dumplings - the best! All dumplings and wontons - good for a dumpling fix. Spring rolls - yummy Egg rolls - yummy Chicken Pad Thai - very yummy. Pineapple chicken - delicious Noodle soups - yummy and filling. It can be a two meals. Sweet and sour soup - just right. Cons: Overpriced! But it's so damn good! It's a treat when we order food from this place. Regular wonton soup - not a fan. read more

The Lo Mein is one of the best dishes I've ever had in Staten Island. The price is a bit higher than other places but decent for the portion they give. As for fried chickens, they give the whole piece rather than just drumstick or chicken wing. read more

Best Chinese food ever been ordering here for 12 years no other place could top empire east

My first time ordering from here and the experience was great. I phoned in my order, and on the call the person taking my order confirmed the location I was picking up at. Seems there are 2 locations. About 2 minutes later I get another call from the restaurant to confirm the address. Thoroughness at its best. My order: Lrg BBQ Ribs Pt Sauteed Broccoli Qt Fried Rice w/egg Qt Pork LoMein Vegetable Spring Rolls (6) Pt Shredded Beef in Black Bean Sauce w/Brown Rice Food was fresh, tasty and filling. But this takes the trophy o the priciest fast food chinese spot I've ever been to at $70. Gosh darn it I wish they had a location in NJ. Staten Island sure does have some tasty food spots. read more

If you want good Chinese food/Thai food, I highly recommend this place, it is at a higher price, use the coupon, better than nothing, thai not authentic, but does taste pretty good always make me order the Thai dishes. Here the grade on each dish I ordered Green curry beef: C think they change the chef, it's pretty bad Yuki udon: B, very flavored, a bit oily Pad thai: A, just perfect for me every time. Seafood shrimp wonton with roast pork: A+ Awesome read more

I used to like this place. I usually order beef with broccoli or string beans. The quality was always consistent. But recent order the beef was too tenderized it was too soft almost mushy. If beef continues to be like this sadly I won't order it again at $19. read more

Some of the best Chinese food on Staten Island! Always quick and a staple in my family's restaurant go-to's!

This is the only Chinese take out we order from and we've been doing so since they opened. I've never had a bad meal, and will say everything is always delicious with huge portions. Enough for more than one meal. The staff is always friendly and helpful too. read more

Good food all around, good service and very clean .. it's very tranquil quiet, and the food is delicious...

I come here all the time so I'm not a one time wonder who is eating your food for the first time. I don't mind eating your food as long as everything comes out on time and it's hot that is a requirement of mine Unfortunately somebody needs to tell the coordinator who takes the orders that panfried dumplings take 20 minutes so if you have an order of chicken and broccoli please wait to make it because that takes five minutes or so and then the chicken and broccoli gets cold while I have hot pan fried dumplings so the coordination of a whole meal being served hot needs to be worked on Other than that I do enjoy going there but hopefully this was just a one time fluke. read more

Overpriced.... Chicken and pineapple dish was tasty but the chicken was kinda beat out and tough. Later that evening not feeling well....day 2 still nauseous. I wouldn't go Back unless it was for just rice / veggies. Wonton soup not to desirable. Sorry to put this business on the map and bad review it. Please share your experience. Maybe I will give it a second chance. read more

I have no idea if the owner ever taste their own food. It is worst than poor. We ordered delivery for 3 items and all of them taste bad and cost us more than $40. How could you open a restaurant with this low quality of food taste, I rather make myself a instant noodle than this if I know the food is taste bad. We not trying to waste food and we do appreciate food. But this is not acceptable for $40+ of food and you will expect something taste better. It destroyed our appetite completely. If you ever open a restaurant, please give some respect for the food and make them tasty before serving your customer. Making bad tasty food is waste of food and not respecting your customer. read more

$9.00 FOR WONTON SOUP! (Ok $8.60) Food is ok to very good. But their prices are out of control. Who charges $8.60 for wonton soup? No one! Maybe mid town manhattan where they pay $400/sf for rent. Ordered 1 combo and a wonton soup nearly $30.00. I did not check. Called in an order, picked it up and holy cow. I get they became popular with two locations on SI. We created this by just paying whatever prices they charge. So why not keep increasing prices until we/I move elsewhere. Which I have. Look around, plenty of Chinese establishments that also provide quality food at the more reasonable and consistent prices for Staten Island. Wonton soup did it for me here. read more

My favorite dish at the moment is egg noodle soup with shrimp dumplings! Consistent delivery and taste. I doctor mine up with hoisin sauce and spicy oil. This may be pretty expensive, but I am willing to pay for the quality. This is an excellent restaurant. I eat here at least once a week. read more

East is a special treat. The menu is vast, with emphasis on Chinese, Japanese and Thai specialties. They now even serve authentic dim sum specialties, usually only found in Brooklyn and NYC. The service is very attentive. I have eaten here many times, and usually get either a selection of rolls, or sizzling steak. I also like the pork shumai. It's plump, juicy and full of flavor. All of the dim sum selections are really well made. I look forward to my next visit. read more

Best Chinese on the island! Crazy overpriced but really so good. Anything chicken from here actually tastes like chicken and their fried wontons? To die for. Literally so amazing. The food tastes like it's cooked in clean oil opposed most Chinese that tastes like old grease. I'll never order from any other place again. Def recommend! read more

These people don't really care about their customers..I used to always go here for dine-in with friends/family. Unfortunately dine-in still isn't open...for what reason?? I guess they'd rather use the space for storage..very unprofessional read more

Disgusting Thai food!!! I can't believe how gross our order was. The boneless spare ribs were rock solid and the drunken noodles were inedible. It looks as though they used an entire bottle of red pepper flakes all over them. Will never order again not to mention extremely expensive for disgusting food!!!! read more

Chinese food doesn't mean just egg rolls and deep frieds and steamed rice with veggies. I suggest you just skip out on those fake chinese food and go to China to eat the real thing!!! My cousin really likes this place... She ordered here about five times and thought the stuff here was good and reasonable to me I thought it was mediocre...it's just Americanized Chinese food... I didn't actually purchased anything here but I ate some of her takeout one time and thought it was really greasy and the sauce was kinda overwhelming... And Not in a good way... This place is like a fast food restaurant... The place is nice and clean... You had a few seating areas... you wait while they finish cooking and pick up your food in a tray ...find a seat....then enjoy.....this place Just opened only a few years ago so the place looked like a mini clean diner... Other then the place looking nice and clean ...the food doesn't stand out as much as the restaurant itself...huge parking lot! read more

Decor - 5 Service - 5 Presentation - 5 Taste - 5 Coming from queens and living so close to so many good Chinese Restaurants, this place caught me off guard. For Staten Island, their price may be a bit more, but it is worth it. Quality over quantity. Dishes I recommend: Spicy Sichuan Shrimp Wantons!!! Basil Beef w/rice read more

Good quality Chinese food at premium price! I enjoy eating food from here because its much cleaner & better packaged. You'll know the difference if you ever at Chinese food anywhere else. But of course it will cost you for those high demands that we all consider sometimes to be free. Keep it up guys! read more

Ordered a few things from there yesterday. Ever since this place has new owners it's not what it was. I ordered chicken with broccoli, and General Tso's chicken, and the chicken is just plain fatty, they can do better, the chunks of General Tso's chicken were nervy. It would cost them nothing to order the good quality chicken and do it right. read more
