I REALLY enjoyed myself. The restaurant was clean, the food was awesome and the service was prompt. I must say I was hesitant to dine in (as a black man who OFTEN receives unsatisfactory service when I dine at a suburban restaurant in Michigan), however, I was pleasantly surprised and would highly recommended this place.
Empire Dynasty offers a solid experience for fans of Chinese cuisine. Their egg foo young is a standout, perfectly fluffy and rich in flavor. The sesame chicken is also commendable, with a crisp exterior and savory-sweet sauce that hits all the right notes. For those preferring a vegetarian option, the ginger veggie dishes are both fresh and flavorful, showcasing a thoughtful balance of ingredients and seasoning. Additionally, their carry-out service is efficient and reliable, making it a great choice for enjoying quality Chinese food at home. Overall, Empire Dynasty delivers consistently good dishes and is a dependable option for both dine-in and take-out! Five stars all day
Very authentic! The same taste as when I visited China. The owner of the restaurant is also super welcoming and friendly!
The food at empire dynasty is always fantastic. Probably the best Chinese food in Michigan that resembles Shandong. Great service as well. Highly recommended!
THIS PLACE IS AMAZING!!! Was in Michigan for a little and came here based on a friend's recommendation. Authentic Chinese food! The service was OUTSTANDING!There are new product recommendations here every day.Her recommendations were perfect. Will be returning next time for sure!
Updating to a 5/5. 1) Dine in is truly a different experience than takeout/ delivery. The presentation of the dishes and quality is just better. For example, for the chicken dish it was in a hot pot which was nice. 2) Truly a "chinese" feel inside. Spinning tables. Majority Chinese customers. Rolling carts. Employees bringing out massive amounts of food for themselves at closing time (lol, this is very typical of Chinese restaurants). Very accommodating for large group of friends. 3) Came with group and ordered: Steamed Pork Belly/梅菜扣肉 Mouth-watering chicken (Kou Shui Ji, 口水鸡) La Zi Ji (Sichuan Mala Chicken, 辣子鸡) Suan Cai Yu (酸菜鱼, Sichuan Fish with Pickled Mustard Greens) that chicken dish in the picture (ye men ji? unsure name) Sichuan Eggplant Stir Fry (Yú Xiāng Eggplant, 鱼香茄子) All were authentic. All arrived relatively quickly. All were not too greasy/oily. All were not too salty All had good flavor. I stand by that if you want authentic Szechuan, this is a top contender in Michigan. If you are willing to pay $15-20ish per dish, you won't regret it. and dine in.
I went with my two coworkers (Native Chinese) and the Food was AMAZING! They were so impressed as well- everything was fresh and very tasty. The garlic green beans are a must!!! Perfectly made and so flavorful! Not pictured is the beef with scallions dish- which was also delicious! They also have a wide variety in their menu, per my coworkers it includes most of the different regions of Chinese cuisine. Apart from their traditional menu they have a more Americanized one too, which is perfect and still just as authentic and delicious. 100% recommend this place- we will be coming back in this trip. Service was great too- very happy with this place overall
Food: Authentic Chinese food. 疙瘩汤 Sandong seafood soup tastes very traditional and huge in portion. Ordered it as a non spicy option for my kid and he loved it. Good variety inside including shrimp and egg. The chicken appetizer 口水鸡 is mediocre. Good taste and good portion size, chicken is a mixture of some tender some dry. Whole fish 豆瓣全鱼 tastes amazing, just kinda small consider that it's ~$30. Was told it's an alive fish to begin with though, so maybe the price is justified? Spicier than I expected, but great flavor and savory for sure. Kidney 火爆腰花 is pretty good. Nice flavoring and definitely has a kick to it. Also has a good variety of veges. Price: moderate to high. Total is $80+ before tip (that's 1 appetizer, 1 soup, 2 entrees, rice is $1 per bowl) Ambiance: Nice, clean, very busy Service: Hit or miss. Everyone there are super friendly, especially the owner! They are just incredibly busy sometimes, we never got our water before food, for example Overall excellent food and traditional Shandong style. You don't see many Shandong style restaurant in the Midwest.
This is one of the best Chinese food I ever had. It was so unique and flavorful and I feel like I have never had something like it. We had tried aged duck egg eggplant dish which was amazing. It had cilantro and went really well with the dish. It also came in a really interesting plate and had to smash it together to allow all the ingredients to come together. Also we got the fried fish with sweet and sour sauce which was also amazing. It was really chewy and also really tender. The service was amazing and the owner of the restaurant was really caring and nice.
