    Supposedly white meat chicken with a plethora of vegetables

    Trust me if I could give 0 stars I definitely would!!!! I was really looking forward to ordering Chinese food today ! I usually always order from Infinity buffet in Norwich but didn't feel like driving there so I decided to try Empire wok in Groton ( first bad move ! My daughter swears by them soooo I'm off to see the wizard! Go there and see that they are still in Covid lockdown (really?) I should have turned and ran! Anyway really wanted some white meat chicken breast with extra bean sprouts she assured me that there would be extra bean sprouts and oodles of broccoli carrots celery ok then that is a wrap! I also ordered a small bbq ribs well then, I paid and went home very excited I might add ! Got in and of course I had to taste it I have been on this planet for 68 years and never have I ever had rice disapate in my mouth and I bit into the egg roll and it collapsed seriously! Ok try the chicken laden with bean sprouts and the taste is absolutely flat not even soy sauce helped by now I'm thinking the freaking supper I need to make ok so I took a picture here goes long story short don't go

    Best Chinese food in Groton. I have been eating here for 10 years and I am never disappointed. They are fast and most of the time their delivery time is faster then other places around here/

    Best place to get Chinese food in Groton. We love the House special fried rice, General Tso, and Spicy beef.

    Came here before visiting the New London Ledge Lighthouse for a quick bite to eat…read more We shared the create a plate and got the fried shrimp, clam strips and calamari. Everything came out hot and fresh! We also got a lobster roll. It was hot and FILLED with lobster. Just wish we had some more hot butter on the side! We also got some ice cream too at the ice cream window. I got the Nutella Sugar Waffle. The waffle was fluffy and warm with bit of crunchy sugar within the dough. All topped on 3 scoops of vanilla ice cream with the choice of strawberries or banana, I got strawberry ! I was so full I couldn't finish it all! Everything was very good. The prices are decent and the portions are big

    This place is great. Beautiful setting looking over the water and boats. I got a fish taco and…read moreshrimp taco. The seafood is high quality and fresh. The taco itself was meh but the seafood is the star. I even came back the next day and I got the fried calamari and fries. The pickle ketchup was awesome for the fries. The tartar sauce was a little lacking but I mixed in some hot sauce which really helped. The cocktail sauce had way too much horseradish. The lines are LONG at peak lunch hours and it's in the open sun. Service is kinda slow with only one register so the line does not move quickly. I will be back for the lobster roll and to try all the other great seafood.

    By far our favorite sit down meal from our trip to CT! Our server was so sweet and accommodating…read more(very much appreciated her patience and understanding with our toddler) and the food was unbelievably fresh on all fronts. The steamers and raw oysters were so delicious - definitely recommend getting these to start. The freshness can't be beat! The views by the window were gorgeous and we ordered a bottle of sauvignon blanc with dinner and watched the sun go down - was pleasantly surprised the mark up on the bottle wasn't higher. My linguine and clams were so yummy - generous with the clams which I was happy to see. My husband enjoyed his steamed lobster - not cheap, but quality and they crack it for you for an extra $5. Skipped dessert because we were so full but their espresso was nice and strong. Would love to come back and sit outside next time!

The waitress took about 20 mins to get to our table right before happy hour ended, even though it was not busy at all. The oysters were big and tasted really good! The main dish came out in another 25 mins and it was good, but not as good as I last remembered. Overall the happy hour oysters are a great deal. The mains dishes were a little more overpriced for what you get. Staff and service was unfortunately very slow. Not disappointed with the experience, but expected a little bit more from this place.

We ordered the spinach strawberry salad, fried calamari and coconut curry mussels. We were fine with everything coming out together and it did! We had to dig into the calamari first and it was amazing! The breaded is incredibly light and crispy at the same time. A very tender batter. Fresh calamari and sweet and hot peppers was delightful with a hint of heat. House made tomato sauce for dipping was tangy and sweet. The mussels were steaming hot for a while too. The coconut and curry were light, the mussels perfectly cooked and cleaned. Yes, it matters! We ended up taking the salad back to our room and it was tasty as well. Large slices of fresh strawberries, sliced roasted almonds, feta cheese and a dressing that wasn't too heavy, tangy or tart. It was perfect. Our servers looked after us and were very kind too. They told us not to rush even though it was close to closing time. If only we lived closer because we would be here regularly. The food is top notch!!
