When we went to pick it up it was SO BUSY but they were so amazing and kind taking the time to answer all of our questions. First, let me say THANK YOU SO much for being so understanding, patient, and kind to make sure the food would be safe for us to eat. The food was delicious and the staff couldn't be any nicer or kinder to me over the phone and during my pick-up order. We had : chicken and broccoli Beef fried rice Mu shu chicken Also, to note they had a few tables to eat in - if you choose to eat there. Thank you again for taking the time to look out for us- and we will definitely be back again soon to try other things with our family. Enjoy!

We moved away from this area years ago, but we were here visiting family and decided to try it…read moreagain, because we remembered liking it. Almost everything was terrible. Chicken and broccoli had rotten white pieces of broccoli and the chicken was mostly bad pieces. The sauce had the consistency of wet cat food, and smelled like it. It didn't taste good either. The beef and broccoli wasn't good. The beef was sliced ultra-thin and looked like it was on its last leg. The sauce was lame. The kung pao chicken had a decent sauce - not great, but decent. And nice veggies. But the chicken seemed like it was all the left-over chopped up dark-meat scraps and grizzle. Basically inedible. Sesame chicken wasn't that bad tasting but dark meat chicken. And poor quality meat. The sweet and sour chicken was ok but it's probably hard to mess up fried chicken with dipping sauce. The crab rangoons were good also. But I wouldn't frequent a restaurant if the only redeeming thing they make is an appetizer. Also, their online ordering system is awful. There are no descriptions for the dishes and you can't pay for your food online. You have to pay when you get there. It's a little bizarre and confusing. I wish they at least had a description for each dish and maybe even a picture on the online menu. Or they should post a picture of the actual store menu on their website. People may have no idea what moo goo gai pan is (I don't!). Pretty disappointing. But we aren't local so we won't be back no matter what.

I recently ordered from Eastern Empire Chinese & Thai Restaurant, and I couldn't be more impressed!…read moreI ordered the Chicken Lo Mein, which came with Roast Pork Fried Rice and an Egg Roll. I opted for delivery, and it arrived incredibly fast. Not only was it fast, but it was also so hot that we actually had to let it cool off before eating--something I rarely experience with delivery orders! The Chicken Lo Mein was packed with tender chicken, perfectly cooked noodles, and fresh veggies, all coated in a delicious savory sauce. The Roast Pork Fried Rice was flavorful, and the Egg Roll was crispy and satisfying. The portion sizes were generous, making it an excellent value. If you're craving tasty Chinese and Thai cuisine with lightning-fast delivery, Eastern Empire is the place to go. I can't speak for the ambiance except I went to pick up a few times. It was clean and counter staff was friendly. Highly recommended!

Your average "Americanized" Chinese restaurant, really…read more The food here is exactly that - average, if not slightly below. Avoid most of the fried dishes, they don't do a very good job draining the food before boxing it, resulting in extremely greasy lunches - which says a lot, considering Chinese food is often quite greasy to begin with. The fried rice is pretty decent here, and the prices are hard to beat at around 5.35 for a lunch special (at the time of this writing). The hot and sour soup, one of my favorite soups, would actually be OK as well, if not for - you guessed it - pools of grease on top of it. Honestly, this place would be a solid 3 stars if not for the damn grease, since the food itself tastes as good as any of the other 5 million generic Chinese restaurants in the area. Aside from the mediocre food, the restaurant itself is really quirky. There's only 1-2 tables to sit at, with the rest of the front end being taken up by boxes of random junk for sale. It's like walking into a dollar store that serves food - anything from scarves, hats, batteries, bras, sunglasses, and other totally random knick-knacks can be found for sale in the front. It's... really odd. All that being said, I find myself eating here more often than I'd like, if only because it's down the street from where I work. If not for how close it was, I'd probably not bother coming back.

I was very impressed with the All you can eat option at Mizu 36…read more The restaurant is spotless and there is plenty of parking. First, I love this option when they allow you to order what you want rather than choosing from premade sushi that every diner breathes on. The sushi was excellent, very fresh and prepared nicely although they are heavy handed on the rice and the avocados weren't quite ripe. The spicy tuna and spicy salmon were made well with crunch as ordered. I was especially impressed with their prepared food,the gyoza, shumai, lo mein, teriyaki steak, and fried rice were all top of the line Asian restaurant quality. If ordering the teriyaki I would recommend the sauce on the side as it overpowered the beef. Service was fine, it was a slow rainy night and the food came out quickly. The restaurant is decorated nicely and is BYOB. One star off....soft drinks and ice cream not included...for $37 I think they should include it. The suggested tip calculation is based on food and tax which is not right either.... I tip 20 percent regardless but you shouldn't suggest that I tip on tax. I will go back as the food was terrific.

I ordered ayce and they left out some of my orders couple of times so I had to keep on reminding them about them. You can just tell that they were poorly trained.

I was paying more attention to the oceanfront scenery than train schedules or restaurant logistics…read more So I enjoyed the shore but was distraught that The Windmill was too far away...and then I learned of another Windmill that might be closer but I'd probably miss my train. (Upon Googling it actually was closed at 9 but the particulars are less important than the general sense of chaos.) Joy House and Dunkin Donuts were my only options if I didn't want to get home at 2:30AM. Even though Joy House wasn't my dream destination, I'm glad I checked it out. How seriously do they take the ribs? They hand out plastic gloves. There was a sauce aplenty but the preparation maintained the fibrous integrity of the meat. The respectably spicy sauce on the kung po shrimp was an effective cure for my cold, at least momentarily, although I would have liked to swap out some of the peanuts for more vegetables.
