My Fav Vegetarian Chinese Restaurant In The U.S.
5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

12/22/2005 Posted by faisca

I love this place! The service is top-notch excellent, and the food is amazing. I highly recommend this place to any vegetarian. I especially enjoy the way the water is served ice cold (you'll see). Sam is awesome and he even remembered me after a year away! The place is small, so large groups should plan to dine around peak hours. However, the small setting is intimate and the service is extremely pleasant. They have an extensive vegetarian menu, and the sweet & sour "lobster" is to die for. Golden Empress Garden is affordable, delicious, and nutritious. Three thumbs up!

Pros: Vegetarian, Delicious, Excellent Service

Insider Tips

Know Before You Go

Unless you have a fondness for unsweet Jell-O, avoid the veggie seafood made of this glutinous plant. (It may be fat-free, but it's also taste-free.)
