Empire Express Chinese Restaurant

In a neighborhood often noted for high prices, this unpretentious counter-service spot stands out for its straightforward value. Regulars lean on the all-day combination platters and budget drink options. While the menu sticks to classic Americanized Chinese fare, dishes like the pan-fried dumplings and the roast pork with green beans are praised for solid execution and balanced, not-too-sweet sauces. Delivery is run through Beyond Menu.
