I was very impressed with how quickly food was delivered, however house special rice was extremely dry, rice too hard, beef broccoli was just a little bit of beef, broccoli was very fresh, shrimp rolls great, crispy, hot

They often forget either the sauce or chopsticks, but the food and service are so great we still L❤️VE them.

Mom loved the garlic shrimp with veggies especially the snow peas. Chicken wasn't spicy but still good. I added sriracha sauce to get the spice level I wanted. Hot and sour soup tasty. I have ordered from them several times and will do again.

I ordered 2 orders of Chinese pancakes. I got 1 order of Chinese pancakes and 1 order of crab Rangoon. I don’t eat crab so it went in the trash. It took over 1 hour for my food to come so it was cold.

There was a hair in the shrimp fried rice, they didn't give me the sprite, and the "steak" in the steak and peppers I couldn't even chew.

Some of the best Chinese-American food I've had in a decade. Egg roll and Cold noodles with peanut sauce were especially tasty.

Everything was delicious except the Crab Rangoon. Just disappointing. I have eaten them at several other Chinese Restaurants and they were delicious.

The chicken dish was bland with very little flavor and very few pieces of chicken. It was mostly carrots, watercress, and bamboo shoots. I would not order it again or recommend it. If I ever order from Golden Empress again, I wouldn't order it. The appetizers were good.

I've been enjoying the vegetarian food at Golden Empress Garden since the early 1990's and have never had a problem. I've had food delivered for the last 8 years since I moved to S. Philly and again no problems. Keep going!

Soooo good. Everything extremely high quality for the price. You can tell both the egg roll and dumpling were made on site.

Great restaurant! Always love golden empress. Food always is delicious. I'm an idiot too and once gave them my old address and they were so nice about it! Will never do that again, because they are the best and I felt awful.

Have had food from this location before. They don't disappoint. They offer vegetarian selections so we appreciate that. The order arrived exactly on time and it was hot. One of the entree's was not that great but ala it was satisfying.

The service was great! Quick and easy. The food was basic; good. Not the best I’ve had but a solid place I’ll order from again.
