What delicious food! The service was quick and options were authentic and delicious. We loved their hot and sour soup and the pan fried soup dumplings. We got sesame balls for dessert on the house. We even left with more food than originally ordered and some extra good fortune!

Plastic drape door and eight tables of holy goodness these dumplings are delicious. This is a great place with clean food. I had tendon and noodles and it tasted like mom’s pork from 1977!

We happened upon the Empire while on a trip to SF. We love to dive the streets looking for places off the beaten path. This place was great, a little hole in the wall with wonderful food. Nothing elaborate but fresh dumplings, fresh cooked vegetables and hot tea. We dined in the first night and got a to go order the second. Very satisfying, tasty meals. I would take friends here to enjoy the experience. I’m not Asian so there was bit of a language barrier but to me that’s what makes the experience even better, not really knowing what’s going to show up on the plate.

Very simple little place tucked into a little side street off of Grand Ave. Decided to check it out after seeing good reviews—we got pan fried soup dumplings, beef pancake, garlic string beans and chicken chow mein. Owner surprised us with fried sesame balls filled with either a bean paste or black sesame seed paste—absolutely delicious. My favorite dish was the beef pancake—the Chinese black vinegar on the table was an amazing addition to its flavor! Everything was delicious and my leftovers were happily devoured at work the next day. Other reviews refer to this place as a hidden gem and they are absolutely correct. Will be ordering from here and dining in again soon.
