    Vegetable Lo Mein , Beef Lo Mein , Chicken with Broccoli in one plate
    Walter T.

    This place is not toooo bad , the lunch special price is good for what items you can get ! I got my order through the app. Here for $4 I got 2 plates of chicken, rice , Lo mien , egg rolls and broccoli. Enough for 3-4 people or like 2-3 days of leftovers. Is not a great diner place to seat at ' it's like school cafeteria chairs . It has a lot of seating! I go if it's last minute in Da area

    Two standard combos, they were delectable

    The atmosphere, the affordability, and the options make this a no-brainer for a quick, great meal. As I write this, the tender spare ribs are just settling down in my stomach, happy thoughts flutter through my mind, and I'm already planning my next trip back.

    $5.75 standard 5 item steam plate @ Empire Express

    Was next door getting a face lift (read that as eyebrows threaded) and came out really hungry. NB I went in really hungry. This shop was right next door so I decided to give it a try. I ordered the $5.75 five combo steam plate. I chose rice, sesame chicken, some type of beef, an order of dumplings (2) and bakchoy. After my first bite I thought this stuff is really great! You know how it goes when you're famished and food hits your palate? After 3 or 4 mouthfuls reality set in. "It isn't really that good is it Freeyah" my brain asked my mouth. "Not really" mouth and even tummy responded. Aestherics aside (yeah you kinda SEE what you're in for) location wise it's convenient, right there on a main street where they're all usually located. The food is filling and It's cheap. 3 stars because you picked me up when I was down. The End.

    Vegetable dumplings were wack. The inside was the inside of an egg roll. WTF is that gross. Everything else was standard.

    Pleasantly surprised and infinitely less expensive than the old time park slope Chinese restaurants.

    Great delivery time. Unfortunately the General Tso chicken was too tough. Fabulously cooked rice though. Kudos for that.

    Very solid Chinese food spot. We picked up food to go and the restaurant looked very clean and…read morespacious though no one was eating in. The food was very fairly priced and the portions were huge. We got the pork soup dumplings, pork fried rice, szechuan chicken (which came with white rice), and pad see ew (which though not listed comes with pork, chicken, and shrimp). Everything was solid, but our favorite was the fried rice which had a ton of flavor. I liked the veggies that were in the chicken dish but there were just way too many of them compared to the chicken and I wasn't crazy about the sauce. The pad see ew wasn't made the traditional way I've had it with soy sauce and oyster sauce. It had some sort of orange sauce that tasted closer to a sweet and sour. It wasn't bad it was just not what I was hoping for. The soup dumplings were solid, no complaints there. And the fried rice was great, lots of flavor. Overall, I liked this place especially for the price but I'd probably order different things if I went back.

    I had a taste for Chinese food like good old school. Chinese food and I happen to look on one of…read morethe delivery apps and located this place. I found parking down the block and walked over to the restaurant. It seems like more of a delivery spot because there was no one inside sitting at any of the 5 tables. It's a fairly good size space, very simply decorated, mixed with a cool wall resembling a curio cabinet of treasures. I chose a spot in the middle and went to the restroom which was clean and simple. I noticed there were a lot of takeout orders, from delivery services to local folks picking up their regular dinner. I looked over the menu and decided on salt and pepper wings and an order of shrimp. Fried Rice came out first and it was delicious. I even tasted a hint of salted egg yolk mixed into the egg mixture friefried up with the rice that signature crispiness with the little saltiness.... fantastic. The salt and pepper wings were different than the ones i'm accustomed to though the flavor was amazing.It didn't have the fried garlic, peppers, chilis, and onions that i'm accustomed to being in the dish. They were still flavorful, juicy and crisp and I could tell they cooked them fresh.That was much appreciated. I ended up taking half of my food home because I was stuffed.Thank you Msm Ellen and the Crown Garden crew for a tasty solo dinner.
