Empress of China

After dealing with this seasonal cold, I needed some hot and sour soup to heal my body. Did some quick research and empress of China came up with the most consistent ratings. I haven't had hot & sour soup in the New Orleans area, so I was hesitant. Upon entering, the establishment was clean and showed that it has frequent and consistent supporters. Staff was welcoming and patient.. Ordering was easy and quick. Timeliness was on point as well. Based on my previous reviews - I will reiterate, I am a snob when it comes to Asian cuisine. The hot & sour soup was more egg drop to me but packed major flavor! It was also packed with fresh ingredients.. The shrimp was great. Battered perfectly, with a significant portion size. Additional feedback, I would have preferred to have veggie fried rice

We tried Empress of China for a quick lunch, but the service was extremely slow. It took 45 minutes just to get drinks, and the whole meal stretched over nearly three hours. The food itself was fresh and pretty good—the hot and sour soup stood out—but the delays overshadowed the experience. They clearly need more staff, as the “Now Hiring” sign suggests. Once they speed up service, it could be a great spot!

Great place to eat. The portions are very large. 2-3 people can share. They are very attentive.

Went to this place today, and the egg roll was spoiled.The boneless chicken had broccoli at the bottom of the plate I ate from them plenty of times and it was not like this. Lots of juice from the, broccoli so some of the boneless chicken was soggy they said they would give me another egg roll ,but I don’t want it after I taste a spoiled egg roll No Sir! I’m never eating from them again. Make sure you save all your receipts from here because the prices do change.

I ordered egg rolls to go and the worse thing fried food can be is cold. Once the egg rolls are cold they get soggy and wet. What doesn’t make sense is they stopped giving the cup of hot mustard to complement the dish and make you pay .55 for sauce that originally came with it. They want you to pay but will dump tons of pack sauce that 1 order of egg rolls does not accommodate. My order was $8.15 for egg rolls and an additional $. 55 for mustard. Although you shouldn’t have to ask, make sure to ask them to cook your egg rolls to order.
