    CUSTOMER SERVICE: After waiting 70 minutes from the time my order had been placed, I called to see what the ETA was out food... the woman who answered the phone was much less than polite, she was rude and abrasive. It's a clear day, and I live 10 minutes away. It ended up taking over 1.5 hours to get my food. [Please note that the delivery guy was courteous, and apologized for the slow service]. FOOD: generous portions of greasy, room temperature food. OVERALL OPINION: If it is more important to get quantity over quality, or you are living on a tight budget, you could easily make 2 to 3 meals out of an entrée. That being said, I could see why an elderly couple might enjoy this restaurant. If you're looking for quality food and quality customer service, this is probably not the ideal place for you

    They should rename this place to "The Empire Strikes Back". Cause it will and does.

    If I could give it a half star, I would. The food was cold. You could tell a lot of it had been sitting out. It wasn't very tasty. I paid the price of eating lunch here by being sick all night long. Avoid this place!

    I have been to Empire Buffet several times, and at first I would have given it a 3 or 4 star review. But every time I go back the place is more and more disappointing. I went there last night for dinner with some friends who really like Empire, and it was the worst experience I had had at any Chinese buffet. The place was the busiest that I had ever seen it, but the food was not fresh at all. Everything that I had tasted burnt from sitting in a pan all day, and with a lot of the dishes you could tell that they had dried out from being under the heat lamp and water was added to rehydrate them. They also don't have as many choices as a lot of the other better buffets in town, and I do not think that most of the food tastes good. The only things that I enjoyed were the sweet and sour chicken (which is impossible to mess up) and the honey chicken. The sweet and sour chicken was literally the only thing that did not taste burnt. The worst part is that the last 3 times I went to the buffet there were fruit flies crawling all over all of the desserts. I have never seen this at any other buffet, and it disgusted me.

    I have never actually been to the buffet. I am from out of town and ordered delivery from them. This was by far the worst chinese food that I have ever had. The egg rolls had nothing but cabbage in them and it had a very bitter taste. My children and I ordered Sweet & Sour Chicken (who can screw that up right). The chicken was very greasy. The fried rice is yellow ad, if you order pork fried rice, comes with huge strips of this slimy pork instead of the roast pork pieces that pork fried rice usually comes with. Needless to say we threw the food out and decided to go out to eat elsewhere. Steer clear of this place unless you like wasting your time and money.

    I liked it, not the best chinese buffet, but not the worst. They have some of my favorite items, and the staff is nice. Wish some of the dishes where traided out more offten, but if you ask nicely they will get you fresh food. The biscits (donuts) are great when hot and fresh, but terrible if they have been sitting around all day. Ask for fresh and you will be in love.

    This is the WORST experience that we have EVER had in a Chinese restaurant! We were so excited that they delivered. They food arrived about 1/2hr after promised. I ordered no mushrooms due to an allergy. My meall was packed full of them! I called & they said, "That's too bad." I said, "Yes, I can't eat this because I'm allergic to mushrooms." I was told, "Well, we'll pay whatever doctor bills you get from it." I told them I refused to eat it & needed the dinner I'd ordered. They told me, "We'll get you something next time." I told them that I needed to eat dinner, I paid for dinner & paid for delivery. I needed the food that evening. 2 hrs later my new dinner arrived, no appologies, no acknowledgement, NOTHING AT ALL! All that was said was, "You must give me the other food. I need show manager." I will NEVER eat there again & would highly recomend that you don't either!

    Typical Chinese - American buffet, but with the added sushi bar. I also felt that there were many more choices than most of the buffets in the area. All in all, good place to go if you are on the North (Alpine) side of town

    My wife and I have been there several times and I'm very indifferent on them. Compared to other buffets in the area they are nice but could do more. If you want a Chinese Buffet with some other options and are in the area this may be your best chose at least for the area.

    Oh Empire Buffet. You're mediocre and greasy, but you have a special place in my heart. My great aunt loves this place, and she and her friend go very regularly. I was their guest this week, and I choked back a little on the greasy nature of the Chinese food at the buffet, but was impressed by the layout and the exceptionally friendly service. Also, any buffet that ends with a free dish of ice cream and then a fortune cookie deserves some love. Also, the best part of the meal was the message on the wrapper that surrounded the chopsticks: "Welcome to Chinese Restaurant. please try your Nice Chinese Food With Chopsticks the traditional and typical of chinese glorious history. And cultural" BEST.WRAPPER.EVER. In all seriousness, however, Empire is a decent spot to grab a buffet lunch with a caring and dedicated staff. There is a wide selection of food available, although some of the meats are heavy and greasy and may leave you guilty eating more of the fruit and salad (like me).
