Empire Wok on E Court St is my favorite restaurant to go to. Usually, I know people dont try to make friends with the waiters at Chinese restaurants, but after going there a few times, I began talking with them. The food is great, the atmosphere is pleasant, and I now know the names of most of the servers, and am dating one of them... =^.^= All of that aside, I have watched the staff in action, and they are quick, courteous, and the food is always fresh. Look one of the wait staff in the eyes and say, "thank you" and you will see him or her smile. ^_^

I go to this restaurant several times a month. Yes the place isnt new but neither are a lot of mom and pop restaurants but they have really good food and a big selection. If you want new updated and remodeled, go to a big buffet restaurant and spend $12.99 on the buffet meal. I love their green beans and will fill my plate with them first before i grab anything else. They put the signs up trying to deter people from wasting so much food which drives prices up. I just wish this place was closer to my home...Id eat there more often.

If you feel the service is less than great, it might be because people are constantly going to Empire Wok and not tipping. The wait staff clear the tables and bring drinks so we always leave a tip. The result? Consistent, stellar service. I have my lemonade at the table before I even sit down. As for the food: always delicious! The pepper steak is my favorite, but there is a good variety. If you go on Sunday, expect a huge crowd, but the food is fresher as a result.

Three-quarters of the buffet is cold, tasteless, and greasy. Almost everything has been sitting under a heat lamp all day. Half the time I come here, the silverware on the tables is dirty, and I have to ask for replacements. Many of the booths are old and tattered. Over a decade ago, this place was excellent, but it has really been going downhill ever since (and continues to do so). Dont waste your money here; go to Osaka Buffet or Habachi Buffet on the other side of town.

I used to love going to eat here but over the past few years this place has gone down hill. The front curtains and walls were caked with old food that appeared to be from some time ago. Plus the bathrooms were so disgusting I walked out trying not to touch anything. They changed most of the dishes to taste like greasy garlicky substances and the egg rolls are no longer good either. We wont be back ever again well not until they remodel anyway

There was a huge table of guests eating as we walked in, and they must have wiped out the buffet because everything in the buffet was empty. We visited at 6pm, a time when you would imagine the food would be well stocked. Instead, all the offerings were empty or old looking... I ate some of the baked Krab which was bland, some wontons which were bland as well, and decided I had enough. We ended up getting a pizza from walmart.

This buffet was disgusting. There was hardly any choice. What there was to choose from was either gross or overcooked. What I did eat made my stomach turn. I will never go back and would never recommend anyone to go there. It used to be really good, but I dont know what happened. Its overpriced for the tiny selection. If you want a Chinese Buffet, go to Hibachi Buffet on Linden and Lennon.

Apparently the population of Burton Michigan that has figured out how to review restaurants on Google Maps does not in fact know what an "amazing" Chinese Buffet is. Its good, Ill give it that, but Ive had amazing and this isnt it. If youre at Home Depot and are hungry I suggest you forgo the over priced hot dog stand at the exit and come here instead.

Are you kidding me? Go to Yelp for the real reviews of this trash heap. This place is awful and they intimidate you into eating all of your food with tacky signs on the wall. Its gross food and the restaurant itself is dirty. These google reviews cannot be accurate. No way. One of the worst places Ive ever eaten at. GROSS AND DIRTY.

This place should be shut down! To begin with, it is filthy. The womans restroom stall had plungers, mops and brooms in it. I thought I had taken a wrong turn. There were wads of paper towel balled up all over the floor. My gut told me to leave, but my daughter and grand daughter had already been seated.

We have been going for years but this past year the last three times we went there were a lot of empty food containers and what food was in the other ones looked like it was dried up and had been there for awhile. Sadly we will not be going back. We thought maybe things would get better but no so.

The food comes a great variety, however it usually tastes stale as if its been sitting out way past its expiration. The staff often speak in a foreign language which wouldnt be that bad if they didnt do it while looking at customers and laughing.

Ive been to Empire Wok many times. The food and prices are decent. My only real complaint is that I wish they would replenish the buffet on a few of their items in a more timely fashion instead of being empty for awhile.

Good portions on the takeout. Tasted great. Beat experience Ive had lately as Ive been struggling to find a decent all you can eat Chinese place for a while. Ill go back for the buffet after getting their takeout.

The Chinese people dont care if Im drunk when I come in to eat sushi as long as I dont throw up on the floor again. Dont eat the napkins when youre drunk or you will throw up. 5 stars best food in town.

I really love the food here, the pepper steak, sesame, and peking chicken are great! Service on the whole is great, the owners recognize us and most of the wait staff are quick and friendly.

This place is going downhill. The flatware appears dirty, the salt and pepper shakers are sticky and greasy, not cleaned. The food has lost some appeal for me. Hopefully it will improve!
