Empire Corner

Delivery guy is a jerk, but the food is good.

They deliver with speed! I don't think we've ever had to wait the max wait time for delivery. We've found that the food that isn't deep fried lacks flavor though... so stick with your General Tso and your sweet and sour and keep away from your shredded beef.

UGH, nasty, nasty, nasty! I've been ordering from this place for years and usually get the sliced chicken with garlic sauce. True, there have been times when I wondered what kind of chicken they use,but it's usually tasty and spciy with brocolli, green peppers, water chestnuts etc. This time it had nothing but a ton of brocolli which would have been okay, had the 'chicken' not been highly suspect. It was slimey, had fiber/fat/muscle and was frankly disguting. What are they using for chicken? Reconsituted meat? Rabbit? OMG, I won't be ordering from them again until this mystery is solved. What a let down.

General Tso's Chicken has very small pieces and tastes very bland. Lots of rice, not a lot of chicken. Fast delivery, and egg roll was good, though.

Food is good but twice now they messed up my order. I think I've had it with them and will try another restaurant next time.

Exceptionally fast, consistent, accurate. The food is good for what it is -- cheap Chinese. What more can you ask for? Update: This place has had an incredible number of health violations... so I don't order from here any more.

This is one of the better options in the area. They have a really good brown sauce in a lot of items and the House Special Fried Rice is very good. Some unique items are Shanghai Sauteed noodles that you can't find elsewhere. Cheap, good and tasty, and incredibly fast delivery

Beef was not good. Not sure whether it was the way it was cooked or just the quality of the meat. Pretty difficult to chew... Delivery was quick.

Quickly becoming my favorite take out chinese place. Food tastes great and is reasonably priced. Not too greasy and always delivered fast.

Solid, if greasy Chinese food. Delivery is prompt and accurate but the food quality leaves a bit to be desired. Good bang for your buck, if you're looking for late night greasy Chinese. Would order again but I prefer a few other local places.

Ordered General Tso's Chicken Combo. Chicken was good quality. Sauce and overall taste was average/good for the price.

North of 96th St - this has been the best we've found thus far. It is nothing amazing, but the chicken is actual chicken (vs. mystery meat), the sauces don't seem like they're industrial grade molasses and they offer two different portion sizes. Delivery is pretty quick too.

Walnut chicken didn't have the right sauce... or any sauce, really. The breading was a little soggy. The steamed broccoli had a weird, cloth-like taste. And my delivery didn't come with any silverware (no chopsticks even). The white rice was acceptable and kind of the high point. I feel a little nauseous right now, but hopefully that dissipates.
