Our company had a private room for 20, with a limited menu, served family style. All the food they served was very delicious, the only exception was the papaya salad. On my spicy scale it was probably a 7 out of 10, which for me is too spicy for a salad. The chicken was juicy and flavorful with chrisp new potatoes. We also had the sesame beef, which a lot of people loved. The little mini desserts were very good. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.
This place deserves a one star for the amazing ambience - beautiful carpets and white linen tables. Theoretically, this would be the place to take people to wow them. Unfortunately, I had a wow experience for the wrong reasons. This place is a downgrade of food quality from Panda Express. The hot and sour soup was highly oily and tasted like dishwasher soap. The soup was gloopy and unappetizing. The black pepper chow fun was also highly oily and lacked any vegetables, tofu, or flavor. Unfortunately, this was one of few vegetarian entree options. At $10 for that small bowl and ~$25 for the chow fun, and super slow service even for an early dinner at 5, I expect a lot more.
I recommend you stop looking for somewhere to eat and head straight over to Empire. I could stop the review there, but there's a bit more to divulge. We were able to book a reservation the night before as a "just in case" measure, I think we would've been okay just popping in though. Inside the restaurant was absolutely fantastic. Partly because I was hungry, partly because I really enjoyed the atmosphere, and probably mostly because it was freaking cold outside!lol The entire experience was....pleasant. I say that in the most melodramatic possible way. Thinking about the experience it was almost like I'd eaten there 1000 times, even though it was my first. It was far above ordinary, but with extreme relaxation and comfortable pleasantness. Enough, you want to know about the food, I get it. Well, do I really need to go past the 5 Star rating above? Okay, you've twisted my arm. The food was everything you would expect from such an establishment. Preparation was super timely, presentatio
