Empero Taste: Savor Authentic Chinese Noodles and Seafood in San Francisco

It is a popular place for families or groups, so I recommend making reservations. They have a huge selection of delicious Chinese dishes. It gets really loud during busy times.

Fantastic food and value. You get a soup and rice is included if it’s before 5 pm. Will be back for more. Lobster noodles, oysters, fried calamari, and this clam dish were all cooked to perfection.

Always my go to place for my parents birthday, relatives get together and friends coming to the town. Very authentic Cantonese food and love the noise level from different tables as this indicates the real Canton culture.

I usually appreciate it when food is truly authentic, but this was "too authentic" for me. I couldn't really finish my meal as the flavors weren't for me. However, if you want to experience real China in San Francisco, you must come here!

The food was good and the proportion sizes are hugeee!! Great place for family style dinners. We had a group of 11 and it was perfect. A lot of food for really good price.

If you’re seeking a Chinese restaurant with both flavor and generous portions, Empero Taste is a must-visit. Most dishes I’ve tried were packed with balanced seasoning that reminded me of Hong Kong. The House Special Pan Fried Noodles, Pepper Pork Spareribs, and Salted Fish and Chicken Fried Rice are my favorites. Portions are huge—you’ll get your money’s worth and likely leave with a takeout box. The staff were polite but seemed slightly overwhelmed, so we had to wait longer than expected for refills and the check. Nothing terrible, just not as smooth as the food deserved. The only real downside? The BATHROOMS! While functional, they were not clean— foul smell, and the floors were dirty. Both the restroom and washing area would greatly benefit from more regular and thorough cleaning, or maybe a renovation? Overall, Empero Taste serves up outstanding food and generous portions that make it worth the visit. With a little attention to restroom upkeep, it could easily become a five-star experience. ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4/5)

This is a favorite location for seniors nearby especially if you like inexpensive price and large portions according to my auntie’s. It is basically comfort food. If you order family style, it comes with their house soup. We ordered, string beef with beef,salt and pepper pork chop, sweet sauce fried chicken (Omg. Delicious), tofu with beef and clay pot dish with eggplant. Everything was good but my favorite was the sweet sauce fried chicken. Would I come back? Definitely. It also got mom’s stamp of approval..

Empero Taste in San Francisco is a great spot for tasty Chinese food, with plenty of dishes that hit the mark. Salt and Pepper Pork Chops, Honey Walnut Prawns, Lobster Noodle, Fried Calamari/Crabs, and French Style Pork Spareribs are all favorites, packed with flavor and cooked just right. Overall, Empero Taste is a solid option for a delicious, satisfying meal, as long as you skip the flounder, it might not be the best pick if you’re looking for a consistently great meal.
