I stopped by Empress Garden Chinese since I was in the area and was definitely craving Chinese food. I called and a kind lady answered the phone. I placed my phone order for pick up. I ordered the beef broccoli lunch special which comes with fried wontons and hot and sour soup. I also order a side of cream cheese fried wontons. I pick up my order and the bag is super heavy. The chow Mein and beef broccoli portions are huge for a a lunch special and the cream cheese wontons are huge and good portions as well. I can definitely make 2 or 3 meals out of this. You can dine in if you'd like there is a small dining area inside, it is very clean inside. I would rate my food 3.8 the beef broccoli was very saucy and they chow mein was very saucy was well. Other than that it was delicious. read more

The service was very fast and the customer service was great! The owner went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience. She was very kind. Everything we got was delicious and fresh. The bbq pork fried rice had great flavor. 10/10 The sweet and sour pork was crispy and had more meat than breading which is what I like. I would definitely order that again. The chow mein was also full of flavor and had nice big shrimp. The Szechuan eggplant & tofu was another favorite. The sauce is soo good. The honey walnut prawns were HUGE. Probably the largest prawns I've seen used in this dish. They were delicious. The princess chicken was really good the sauce has a little kick. This was my first time trying it and I would get it again. Once again, they have a perfect meat to breading ratio that I appreciate. Over all, my experience here was great and the food is delicious. I will be returning again. 5 stars read more

This restaurant has been going viral recently, which encouraged my cousin and I to check it out. First things first, when you first pull up, just know it is currently in a heavy traffic area. For some reason, there were so many people pulling in and out of 7-Eleven. It is sketchy, since there are people hanging out outside, so I actually was keeping an eye on my car tbh. But don't let that deter you because the restaurant inside transports you into a well-kept restaurant. When entering the restaurant, it seems there is only one person taking care of the front of house, which is a woman who is taking both phone orders & dine-in orders. She was very friendly! As for the food, We ordered several items to try and were pretty impressed because the meal was great quality & not greasy! Our top favorite was their honey walnut prawns, the prawns are a great size, they fry it in a nice light batter, then dress it with the honey walnut sauce. We REALLT liked that they fry it in a nice light batter and that the sauce wasn't too mayo-ey. Everything else we ordered was great & truly fried to perfection. No regrets on a single item we ordered. However, we do regret missing out on their salt & pepper chicken. So we'll have to come back! I hope this restaurant continues to bring in more customers! Seems like a gem in a rough area. read more

I really like this restaraunt. Stumbled across them through DoorDash. So I decided to check them out in person. Restaraunt is pretty clean. Customer service is great and food came out fast. Prices are very reasonable. Absolutely loved the fried rice and Szechuan Chicken. Vegetables were cooked perfect and those 2 dishes were very delicious. Beef Chow fun wasn't bad just was hoping for a little more flavor. Overall I think I found my new local regular Chinese Food spot. Highly recommend! read more

I just found my new favorite Chinese spot in the East Bay!! This is actually a hidden gem in Antioch that needs to not be so secret anymore because the food is some of the best! Not only are their dishes so flavorful and authentic, but the freshness of the ingredients especially the meats and vegetables are what truly make Empress stand out. My favorite dishes are the Singapore Rice Noodles, Honey Walnut Prawns, Orange Chicken & Sautéed Broccoli! I've definitely discovered my new favorite Singapore Rice Noodles and Orange Chicken. I also tried Hong Kong Style Crispy Noodles for the first time and was pleasantly surprised, the crispy noodles bee come a perfect once the noodles settle in the sauce. The ambience is also very authentic with large tables for larger groups or intimate tables for date night. I can't wait to go back and try other popular dishes that I've seen on social media like their Chicken Salad,Chili Oil Wontons read more

Wanted to see what the hype was all about, and I've been sleeping on Empress Garden! The owner Jenny was so sweet...The Hunan Chicken was crispy til the last bite! The sauce was so good with a hint of spice! The eggplant beef was so tasty and the beef was exceptionally tender! Again the sauce phenomenal! The chicken how mein was delicious! The noodles were thick and they don't fill it with veggie! It was just chicken and noodles, with some onions and cabbage, super tasty! We will definitely be back! read more

It was a breeze to order online, they even were running a promo spend $50 and get free chicken fries rice or chow mein. We opted for the chow mein since I ordered pork fried rice. I ended up getting the honey, Walnut prawns, sweet-and-sour pork, broccoli, beef, pork, fried rice, and chicken chow mein. Everything was really good except for the chicken chow mein. It just lacked overall flavor in the noodles to me were a bit big and soggy. Overall, since this is my first time, I think everything was very good and fresh I will be back. I spent a total of $75. read more

This was my first time here and I'll definitely be back. We started with potstickers which were homemade and stuffed with meat. Then we both had one of the lunch specials.

The chow mein is one of the best ones in this area. Hard to find very good ones out here. Eggplant was good and melted in your mouth which was perfect. Honey walnut prawns only ok as thicker coating and sauce than I'm used to and didn't like that as much( I like light crispy crunch with lighter mayo sauce- this was very thick mayo sauce). Hot and sour soup was very good. Mongolian beef ok- too many onions than beef. Sauce was ok. This restaurant is decently good comparable to SF and peninsula ones- authentic Chinese taste. I have a favorite one I already go to which I find the best, but on the days they are closed this place will do. Hard to really find a great Chinese restaurant in this area so this is a good authentic one out here. read more

Very good Placed an order to go for Won ton Soup. Flavor is great. I like that it wasn't over salted. The soup is very hot. You don't have to worry about it being too cold by the time you get it home. read more

A short & sweet review for my favorite Bay Area Chinese restaurant. Jenny, the owner, is the sweetest. She is so warm & welcoming. The place isn't super big, but it's big enough for you to bring the whole family. The parking lot is large as well. Every dish I've tried here has been nothing short of amazing. The food is served fast, made with high quality ingredients, and is always delicious. Love their lunch specials, but the dinner prices aren't that bad. My favorite dishes are: sweet & sour pork, combo kung pao, & garlic eggplant. You get a lot of food! Highly recommend! read more

We ordered via DoorDash and paid the additional "Long Distance Fee" to Brentwood. We ordered Veggie Chow Mein, BBQ Pork Fried Rice and Cashew Chicken. The order arrived well packaged and still hot! Empress Garden, you did not disappoint! My only criticism would be that the Cashew Chicken (my first time trying this dish) definitely could have used more cashews. Other than that, we will definitely order again! read more

Best Chinese food in East County! The new owners have really turned this place into a gem. I've eaten here twice and both times the food has been great (and I'm really picky) All of the freshness and flavors brought me back to good Chinese food you typically only experience in San Francisco. I highly recommend the soups (hot and sour/egg drop) as well as their combo fried rice, beef chow fun, and prawns with vegetables. Try their family dinner menu, it's a fantastic way to experience the food and service, and very affordable!! read more

Service was good. They were very friendly. A lot of to go orders. Food was tasty. I will visit again. read more
