Empire III Hours: Plan a Harlem Chinese Meal
Check Empire III hours, compare Harlem meal options and save a reminder before visiting this small Chinese restaurant.
When do Empire III hours fit your Harlem meal?
For Harlem Chinese food, check Empire III hours against your day: the restaurant at 1902 Adam Clayton Powell Jr Blvd opens at 11 AM Monday through Saturday and at noon on Sunday. Its listed closing time is 11 PM Sunday through Thursday, extending to midnight on Friday and Saturday. That makes the key planning distinction a later weekend close, but a later Sunday start. These are the weekly hours in the venue listing, not a guarantee about holiday changes or the last order accepted.
The restaurant serves familiar Chinese appetizers and entrees, with a General Tso combo specifically mentioned in its description. There are only a few tables, so an opening window alone does not establish that a seat will be available. If sitting down matters, call (212) 280-8880 before setting out and ask about the setup for your party.
Use Empire III hours to narrow your meal window, then check the practical details below: the price band is only a dollar symbol, the recorded rating is 3.6 out of 5, and reservation information is not supplied. With Empire III hours checked, the next decision is whether the menu direction and small dining space fit your plans.

How do Empire III hours change at the weekend?
Empire III hours separate three useful planning windows rather than one identical daily schedule. Monday through Thursday runs from 11 AM to 11 PM. Friday and Saturday retain the 11 AM opening but extend the listed close to midnight. Sunday begins at noon and ends at 11 PM. If you are comparing late-night Chinese dining options, that Friday and Saturday extension is the relevant detail; it does not turn the restaurant into an overnight venue.
Midnight is the end of the Friday or Saturday service day, at the transition into the following calendar day. A plan to arrive after midnight would therefore fall outside the stated window. Similarly, an 11 AM Sunday visit would be earlier than the published weekly opening. Choose the correct day before choosing your arrival time, especially when a weekend outing crosses midnight.
The source supplies no separate kitchen cutoff, special holiday schedule or live confirmation of service. For a meal close to closing, ask the restaurant whether it can accommodate your intended arrival rather than treating the closing time as an order deadline. Save a reminder to recheck Empire III hours when your plans firm up, and leave the last-order question for direct confirmation.


What can you order beyond a General Tso's combo?
The source describes a broad selection of familiar Chinese appetizers and entrees, but identifies only the General Tso combo by name. That gives you a concrete starting point without pretending this page is a complete menu. Visitors mentioned that combo favorably in the venue description; the listing does not provide its current ingredients, included sides, portion size or item price. Ask about those details before deciding that the word combo answers every ordering question.
For budget planning, the single-dollar price signal is a category, not a promise that a particular meal will cost a particular amount. Check the actual order total rather than converting a dollar symbol into a price. Neither a detailed price list nor delivery fees appear in the supplied asset, so there is no reliable total to calculate here.
Once Empire III hours fit your schedule, compare the kind of meal you want with the evidence available: familiar appetizers and entrees, one specifically named combo, and a casual restaurant setting. If you need exact ingredients or a dietary accommodation, confirm directly instead of inferring them from a photograph. The two food-related Pages below offer additional Chinese-dining subjects to investigate, not a claim that their menus or prices match this restaurant.
How can Empire III hours guide a small-table visit?
A workable arrival time is only one part of choosing this restaurant. The source describes a straightforward dining setup with a small number of tables, and its review notes repeat the limited-seating point. That supports a practical check before a sit-down meal, but not a prediction about queues, busy periods or how long a group will wait. There is no seating capacity or reservation policy in the asset.
Confirm the seating arrangement before committing to a group plan. Give the restaurant your intended arrival window and party size when you call, then ask whether the space fits what you have in mind. This is a suggested planning step, not an assertion that telephone reservations are accepted. Empire III hours tell you the listed service window; they do not reserve a place within it.
The stored review score is 3.6 out of 5 from 183 ratings. Treat that as one decision input alongside the venue description, rather than a guarantee of a particular experience. Delivery appears in the restaurant's classification, but the asset does not name a provider or give delivery-specific hours. Verify any delivery arrangement separately, and use the related Pages for alternatives if the small dining setup does not suit your occasion.
What should diners ask before visiting?
What are Empire III hours on Sunday?
The weekly listing gives Sunday as noon to 11 PM, one hour later to open than Monday through Saturday. Recheck Empire III hours for your intended visit if a holiday or another exception could affect that regular schedule.
How late does Empire III stay open on Friday and Saturday?
Both days are listed from 11 AM until midnight. For late-night Chinese dining, distinguish that closing time from an unlisted kitchen or ordering cutoff. Call before planning an arrival near the end of the service window.

What is the General Tso's combo at Empire III?
It is the specifically named combo highlighted by visitors in the restaurant description. The supplied information does not establish its current contents, sides, portion or price, so use the name as an ordering question rather than a complete menu specification.

The description emphasizes a small setup with limited tables, not a large dining room. No exact capacity is stated. If seating is central to your plans, ask about your party's needs before assuming an open restaurant can accommodate everyone.
How much does a meal at Empire III cost?
