Empire Wok

Excellent value and tasty food

They suck food is to much + adding a lot of tax on there food

I ordered Beef with Brocolli and when it arrived, it apparently lacked any sauce and was quite unappealing. Another time I ordered General Tsao's Chicken and it was soggy with the "sauce" floating around like water at the bottom. It makes me really sad to write this review, since I recalled them previously having had really good take out food a few years ago, but I no longer see any evidence of that former greatness.

I just had chicken and pork fried rice and let me tell you it was the most disguising thing,I every have eated in my life and I have had almost eat out of all of the Chinese restaurant's in the Rockaways. I wanted to try this,I read the review and they were good so I order and my son picked it up.and when I open it the chicken was burn and dry, the rice was the nasty I ever,ever,ever!!! tasted oh my god,I just throw the rest away. and I will never trust a review again I think they have family members write them or they pay people to write them because that was the most gross chicken and fried rice I had. In my 38years if you like their food then god bless you because that is nasty.

This is a great place for an easy dinner when you don't feel like cooking. The price is right, it's fast, food is great, and theyre always nice!! The locals know the boss by name, including myself!

They make the best spring roll sauce I've ever had. Much better than any fine dining cuisine trying to interpret Chinese food to make it fancy. Their duck sauce is homemade and when paired with the spring rolls, it is top notch. I've also love the fried chicken wings which are amazing and marinated deliciously. The hot & sour soup is very tasty as well. Other things I also will recommend are the shrimp with lobster sauce, I like mine with extra garlic and extra white pepper. The shrimp with lobster sauce comes with little bits of pork meat I believe and it adds to the delicacy of the dish.

Also if you want to make your own spring roll, try the moo shu with your favortie type of protein. it is SOOOO GOOOD. i always crave for more!! The lomein is also really tasty here.

Sometimes I crave a dumpling type food and order the dimsum dish, SO GOOD. it's made of pork I believe and its a delicious little side dish to have along with dinner.

This take out restaurant has an abundancy of seating so dine in if you wish. The owner is super nice (David) and he's there pretty much 100% of the time! During the colder months he offers complimentary tea to keep you warm! He is so thoughtful and is as good as it gets!! And also, theres a few spots available for parking in the back of the restaurant (enter on the side) in case the metered parking spots are full.

I highly recommend trying this place in Rockaway as the others are just no match. I don't even want to patronize another restaurant because this one does it all perfect. I've never had a problem with the place.

To sum it up, here are the dishes I personally enjoy:
-Shrimp with lobster sauce (extra garlice/white pepper)
-Chicken Wings
-Spring Roll w/ homemade duck sauce
-Hot & Sour soup
-Lo meins
-Moo Shu with choice of protein
