Staying in a hotel 3 blocks away, so ordered take out dim sum... I walked over & it was ready at the appointed time - absolutely fantastic food!!! Best char siu bao (bbq buns) and shu mai (pork & shrimp dumplings) ever!!! If I lived here, I'd eat there all the time😋
I am not someone who particularly likes Chinese food. But this place.... AMAZING AND FRESH!
The hot and sour soup, bao, and so much more is just wow!
Prices are fair especially for the freshness and friendly staff. Plus the logo for the restaurant is absolutely adorable.
Best authentic Chinese in town. They do take out but I recommend you eat in, there is a excellent vibe and too notch drinks. They strive to use local ingredients and have real Chinese chefs to make sure the cuisine it the best!
Don't listen to those bad reviews below....there are no rodents in the food or kitchen!
Empire probably has the best Chinese food in the US I’ve ever had. I’ve tried many different restaurants in Portland and I still have a hard time finding one that compares to Empire. I highly recommend the Shanghai Soup Dumplings, Kung Pao Chicken, Lobster Rangoons, Ginger Fried Rice, Bacon Fried Rice, Beef and Broad Noodles. You truly cannot go wrong with this place. Takeout only post-pandemic. Totally worth the visit!!!
Always great takeout in Portland. I wish it would open for in person dining, but until then I’ll keep enjoying the orange beef with bok choy from home!
Empire is undoubtedly one of the best restaurants in Portland. This is one of the few places I've ever been where every single item on the menu is fantastic! Unique items and delicious Chinese fusion dishes. Expect a long wait with no option to make a reservation, so unless you're going on a weekday in the winter you'll have to tough it out but it is well worth it.
