My picture that I attatched should serve as a proof that I'm Asian.. my eyebags are bigger than my eyes. LOL. Anyway, I had Chinese food yesterday from a mall. Although the taste was alright, their sweet & sour chicken is all breading, I had to toss that out. My bf's mom took me to Chinese Food Express for lunch today & not only was the service very friendly, their food is really very good! We got almond chicken & sweet&sour chicken. Those were so good I had to come back to get to go food for tonight's dinner! The sweet & sour chicken has REAL chunks of chicken & the breading is very crispy, it's even better than the ones they serve in Chinatown or San Gabriel area in SoCal!!!

As someone who leans vegetarian, my choices are fairly limited, but what they do well has been consistently solid. The fried rice has always been good, and the portions are generous enough to make for plenty of leftovers. Their bowls are also tasty, filling, and reheat well -- another plus. They have a good selection of Boba and I've tried a few. Delicious and hits the spot in the summer. This is a takeout/drive-thru only with no option to dine-in. Recommend ordering ahead and picking up if you don't like waiting in the drive-thru. Glad they came back after being shutdown for a while last summer. Overall, a reliable spot that's earned its place in my regular rotation.

Flavor was missing on everything. The frozen dessert contained zero dairy. There was one beef dish and I used the term beef loosely. Not even the Coca-Cola was good. I had very low expectations going in, I really didn't think it could get worse than it was. Our server was nice, but never refilled our drinks or checked on us once. We arrived at 11:30 on a Sunday, several of the entrees were empty and when I asked when they would be replenished, the server told me she wasn't sure if they would... Very odd considering they don't close until 8 PM and the lunch rush had barely started. When I went to pay the ticket, the cashier asked me how everything was. I said not great and she said OK. Your total is $42. $42 for two adults and two sodas.., barely worth two dollars. I did leave a $5 tip but only because I felt bad for the "server."

Some Vietnamese (pho), along with Korean options and familiar Chinese dishes like lo mein. Service is good owner and staff take time to visit with patrons. Vegetarian options are somewhat limited. While there are no dedicated tofu-based dishes, some items can be made vegetarian. The Lo Mein and Fried Rice we tried were both good, albeit lacking in spice. There is a small store is attached to the restaurant. They have a modest selection of candy and other essentials to choose from. Anyway, based on the food, will we return? Probably if they added some tofu dishes. Otherwise, we will try some of the other Asian places in Hays...

I'm also from California visiting and thought I would only have the option of Subway and Pizza Hut but this Chinese food was So So So good and it's tough to find quality Chinese food back home. I know of 3 very good Chinese places within Los Angeles and Orange County so I was pleasantly surprised with Yummy Yummy in Lyons, KS.

The restaurant, on the main floor of what used to be the Ly-Kan Hotel, is closed Mondays. Regular menu business hours are: Lunch, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.; Dinner, 3 p.m. to 9 p.m (10 p.m. on Friday).; and Buffet hours are from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday. What the restaurant lacks in decor and atmosphere, it more than makes up for with scrumptious food and excellent service. The buffet features a very wide variety of dishes ... enough that even a picky eater like me can find plenty to eat! The lunch special menu lists 33 choices, including 14 hot and spicy dishes that can be modified to your taste. These selections (various pork, chicken, beef, and shrimp dishes, plus two or three vegetable dishes) come with the daily soup, egg roll, and fried rice or steamed rice. Lunch special prices (all prices as of 7/23/2010) range from $5.50 to $5.99. The menu is incredible! Sixteen appetizers, ranging from chicken sticks, to golden fried to-fu, to sliced jelly fish cold plate, and everything in between! (I love the sugar biscuits, and the crab angels.) There are nine kinds of soup! The egg drop soup (excellent!) and the hot and sour soup come in a cup (small) for $1.25, or a bowl (large) for $4.50. Be warned, the large order served five or six members of my family the other night. Other soups range from deluxe vegetable soup at $4.99 to seafood to-fu soup at $5.99. I'm not sure about the size of these servings, so ask your server. Also on offer are a huge variety of pork, poultry, beef, seafood, vegetable, egg fu young, fried rice/chow mein/lo mein, and mu shu dishes. There are 12 happy hour dinner combination specials that cost $7 or $8. These are served from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday. Twenty-four chef's specials, served with fried or steamed rice, range from Szechwan Triple to Happy Family at $8.99, to Sizzling Peking Pork Chop Hot Platter at $9.99, to West Lake Duck at $10.99, to Seafood in Birds Nest at $11.99, to Whole Fried Fish Cantonese Style at $15.99, and Snow Crab Leg Combination Plate at $19.99. And 17 more choices in between! Family dinners are available for $9.50 per person or $12.50 per person (a minimum of two people). For those who aren't crazy about Chinese food, there are side orders that include: French fries, onion rings, hashbrowns, plain fried rice or steamed rice ($1.25 each); vegetable salad, or two eggs ($1.50); chicken nuggets, cheese sticks, bacon strips, or plain noodles (each $2.75). Everything my family of eight ordered the other night was excellent, and portions were large enough to share without leaving anyone hungry. Just a note: If you order the Chinese hot tea, it is made with loose tea unless you request the powdered teabag, so there will be little floaty bits in your cup. (You get a whole teapot full of tea.) Service was flawless. Special requests were honored with a smile. The main reason I didn't give Empire China the fifth star, is that the dishes served often didn't look anything like the photo on the menu. For example, I ordered the lemon chicken, which was pictured as two sliced, plain, cooked chicken breasts (unbreaded, unbattered), garnished with broccoli and about half a lemon, with lemon sauce on the side., What I got was a lot of small to medium-sized, battered, fried chicken pieces, swimming in lemon sauce, garnished with four pieces of broccoli and a couple slices of lemon. Very tasty, but not at all what I was expecting, and I spent a lot of time peeling the fried coating off the chicken to avoid the extra calories, etc. If you're in the central part of Kansas and get a craving for Chinese, head for Lyons, and Empire China. You'll be glad you did!

However, some friends of the former owners moved from New York and bought the place. I think the food is even better. The buffet has been expanded, both in size and in selection. The food was all very tasty, but with more variety. They've added some sushi as well, a nice little extra in my opinion. AND, they are now open on Mondays. The price for the lunch buffet remains very reasonable. I think you'll like the new Empire China.
