I just recommended EMPIRE on the Facebook page of the senior community in which I live. Comments in response was that those who've gone before me, and on the strength of my Facebook post, have found without exception, that the food is great.
I used to go to the Peking Gourmet in Falls Church, VA during my years living in the Virginia suburbs of Washington, DC (1982-2004). Peking Gourmet was as good as it gets (WASHINGTONIAN MAGAZINE GAVE IT WASHINGTON'S BEST MANY YEARS) and famous people went there, including President George H.W. Bush. Well, EMPIRE ASIAN BISTRO IS EVERY BIT AS GOOD AS WASHINGTON'S BEST.
The portions were VERY GENEROUS and I'll have two more dinners from that which I brought home. While we were there, the phone kept ringing, and it must have been takeout and delivery clients, because there was a steady stream of people (we went at 6PM on a Sunday) coming in to get their takeout bags. I ordered Sweet & Sour Chicken and my wife ordered Chicken With Garlic Sauce. Both great.
PS: The restrooms were extremely clean. That's a very good sign!
