Empire Szechuan - New York

The staff was friendly and helpful in answering my questions about the menu. I have visited this restaurant multiple times and have tried a variety of dishes. The portion sizes are a bit small, but the food is made with fresh ingredients and has good flavor. Overall, it is a typical Chinese American restaurant that will fill you up.

This is the worst Szechuan food I have ever tried. My order was incorrect and my chicken and broccoli dish had very little chicken in it. I asked for it in white sauce but instead received brown sauce. I do not recommend ordering the chicken teriyaki. Consider yourself warned!

I go to get take-out. They seem to be dealing with inflation by keeping the prices the same, but making the portions slightly smaller, so what once would be two meals' worth is now about 1 1/2 meals (or one very large meal). Still very good food. Onlyother change I've noticed (and they mention this on the menu) is that the cold sesame noodles, which used to have all the heatin the peppers chopped and placed on top, now also use a spicy sauce. Still very good, and not extremely spicy, but somethingto know before ordering.

Small, local place. Mostly take out. Decor is absent but staff is pleasant. I've had better, I've had worse. Great if in need of quick meal. If making movie, play or opera it fills the bill of eating fast. Overall, would not go out of my way.

The worse food possible. Ordered General Tso's Chicken and was all excited to enjoy a good meal to my surprise I was sold garbage. The Chicken was barely existent. They coated the tiny piece of chicken with some white starch like rice then dipped itand fried it. Besides being bone dry it was all filler, surprise meat. I don't usually give bad reviews but how can the mostcommon dish be so awful!!!!
