My family has been coming to this establishment for three decades, since its original location in…read moreSuffern. The ownership has changed but chef Michael has remained a constant in the kitchen. The menu and aesthetics are old school Cantonese, with neon lights and fish aquariums reminiscent of Chinese/HK banquet restaurants of yore. It always makes me a little sad to see the large grey fish that comes to you when beckoned and follows you with its intelligent eyes being confined to his little tank ...but I digress. Most of the menu consists of your typical Chinese-American takeout fare (of better than average quality), but the best and most interesting items on the menu - and what we mostly order - are found in the "Chef's Specialities" section in the back. We always have a feast here: spring roll, seafood winter melon soup, classic banquet dishes like PEKING DUCK (a must!! It's properly served thinly sliced for you to wrap in crepe with hoisin sauce and fixings), GRAND MARNIER SHRIMP, WHOLE CRISPY FISH, FISH w/ GINGER & SCALLION, CRISPY SHRIMP WITH WALNUTS, PEPPERY PRAWN or CALAMARI (comes w/ shrimp chips!), three musketeers (crispy shrimp, scallops and chicken in a garlic sauce, ringed with four crab rangoons), and BEEF CHOW FUN, are some of our favorite dishes in our regular rotation. There are a good amount of vegan/vegetarian options here as well so we often bring our vegetarian friends here. The unassuming and underrated GOLDEN SESAME BEAN CURD with its delicate crispy skin and tender soft tofu center is da bomb and one of my fave items (recommend dining in for this to ensure optimal hot fresh crispiness). We also love the sautéed string beans and eggplant. Chinese food is meant to be shared/served family style so it's very suitable to come with a large party and try a bit of everything. There's a private room and a couple of big round tables in back. Service is hit or miss, though everyone's quite pleasant, but frankly you don't come to a Chinese restaurant for its service, and a stony faced waiter in tuxedo vest is almost par for the course. A small bar is situated near the entrance and always seems to be seated with patrons.

This place is a LOOK. If you told me with a straight face that the interior has been upgraded at…read moreany point since the Nixon administration, I flat out wouldn't believe you. And I'm willing to admit a huge chunk of my rating is based on the sheer kitsch value - I've never seen this many aquariums in one establishment that wasn't a pet store. Truly wild. Also? You will not have any type of cell phone service while dining here, which seems fitting given that you chose to eat in a literal time warp. I wouldn't expect technology to work in that situation either. I stopped here for a sit-down lunch yesterday afternoon, having gotten take-out a few times in the last 10 months or so. There are a TON of Chinese options in this area but this is definitely the best in terms of overall quality. Admittedly, most if not all of their competition is generic take-out establishments, but the price point is right on par with them and you're getting better flavors with food that looks and tastes like it's actually being made to order, more or less. I don't know what the target audience is for Ocean Empire, but based on the baffled gapes of the barflies at the bar by the entrance (yes, this place has a bar that you'll be stunned to learn has an aquarium next to it) and the senior citizens dotting the restaurant interior, it's not me. That said, I was shown to a table promptly and had solid service throughout. I ordered my tried and true, the Sweet and Sour Chicken entree ($13), though I had the option of the lunch special which was a few dollars less. I figured since I made the trek and was hanging out with a giant fish less than a foot from my head (see attached picture), I might as well go all the way with the experience. And I loved that the waiter DID redirect me to the lunch menu, just to make sure I wanted the more expensive option. A lot of places would quietly note the order and not offer a cheaper alternative. Good for them. The chicken was very good. I don't know that it's particularly hard to master this dish behind the scenes, but bare minimum I think you want to ensure that it's not overly deep fried where you're eating literal bites of fried skin. This was perfectly done and a generous portion (when is Chinese food not a generous portion?). The only quibble I had was with the sauce. It's more orange than red, which is interesting and I'm not sure what the significance is if any, but I thought it was on the watery side and difficult to apply to my accompanying rice, which was a LITTLE too al dente for me. But just a little. The menu (hilariously they just gave me the paper takeout menu to look at; totally fine and somehow seemed on brand) looks pretty legit beyond the standard takeout options so this is a very rare instance where I would actually come back and order something else. And like most Chinese food, it didn't take long for the food to arrive, so this is a very reasonable lunch hour-type destination if that's your jam. And a fun perk if you're in the market? There's a random party room in the back you can apparently reserve. Because of course there is.

I ordered Sunday dinner for the family, and since I had never tried it before, I decided to order in person. It's located on the end of the strip mall with lots of parking. I placed my order for boneless spare ribs combination with pork fried rice, a large order of sesame chicken with white rice, General Tso's chicken combination with chicken fried rice, and a large order of tostones. The total came to $46, and the wait was about 15 minutes. When my food was ready, I was asked what sauces I wanted. I said, "Give me all of them," and they delivered. The bag was so hot I could feel the warmth on the ride home. Once served, it was a feast! The star of the show was the rice fried and white. My mother enjoyed the white rice and her sesame chicken, while Jo savored her boneless spare ribs and rice--perfectly cooked and not overly sauced. I asked for extra spice in my General Tso's chicken, and they nailed it. The chicken was well-done, and the extra chili sauce I requested was clearly visible in the dish. I was sold. The egg roll was delicious on its own, and even better as the last bite with a dab of duck sauce. We all commented on how good the rice was--the veggies tasted fresh, and nothing lacked flavor. The tostones were lightly salted, which is rare, and this alone elevated the meal to another level. It was takeout so good that I can't wait for the leftovers--and yes, there were definitely leftovers. This is a 5/5 star takeout experience you need to try. I've posted a clear picture for March 2025 so you can see for yourself.
