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.

We ordered the spring rolls, pork bun, and crab Rangoon for appetizers. The peanut sauce for the spring rolls was too sweet and the pork bun had paper stuck to the bottom of it that made the bottom rip off, so it was difficult to eat. The crab ragoons were OK but nothing memorable for our entrées. We also got a rice bowl and a noodle bowl. Both dishes were heavily underseasoned. Everything was bland and lacking and all flavor the noodles and the rice tasted like they were cooked in unfiltered water. Even the tapwater was gross tasting like it came from the city sewer. We tried the tarot milk, tea, Boba as well, and even that was a disappointment. It was thick and sickeningly sweet the Boba was undercooked and hard in the center. We were the only people in the restaurant which should've been our first clue the man behind the counter was very sweet and very helpful. I felt very bad for him that this was our experience. It's a cute restaurant and I'm sad to leave such a poor review. But the food tasted frozen.
