This place is a LOOK. If you told me with a straight face that the interior has been upgraded at any point since the Nixon administration, I flat out wouldn't believe you. And I'm willing to admit a huge chunk of my rating is based on the sheer kitsch value I've never seen this many aquariums in one establishment that wasn't a pet store. Truly wild. Also? You will not have any type of cell phone service while dining here, which seems fitting given that you chose to eat in a literal time warp. I wouldn't expect technology to work in that situation either. I stopped here for a sit down lunch yesterday afternoon, having gotten take out a few times in the last 10 months or so. There are a TON of...
I have recently experienced some irregular hours at this restaurant, as they have been closed when they should be open. I have been a patron here for 30 years, since they were located on Route 59. The Chinese food here is the best in the area, without question. They also have a full bar that is always busy with local regulars, making it a great spot for a low-key drink after work. The bartender, Tom, is always friendly and will make you smile. They also offer live lottery games for those interested. Whether dining in or getting takeout, the food is consistently great every time.
First time in town and we were not disappointed with our choice for dinner! Ocean Empire was very hospitable and a friendly environment. They brought out chips with sauce and hot tea as soon as we sat down. My daughter and I decided to share an order of fried rice, boneless ribs and French fries and I'm glad we did because the amount of food we had was more than enough for both of us! It was all delicious! At the end they brought out fortune cookies and cut pineapple with our bill which was a pleasant surprise! Loved it, would definitely recommend!
I was excited to find an old Chinese place. The restaurant was clearly understated when I came here and it wasn't more obvious. The waiter was in a hurry, took my order as soon as I sat down, and kept random parts of my order falling before I even brought water. The food was good, but I would have preferred to wait 5-10 minutes so that the waiter could bring his head together to fix everything, refill water and white rice with my general Tsao's chicken without remembering it. Food was good to leave 4 stars, but the service could be improved.
