I ordered curried chicken with brown rice for delivery. It arrived covered in onions that tasted moldy, and with white rice instead. No napkins, no copy of my bill to know if I had been charged for brown rice. When I called to complain about the onions, the guy on the phone was hostile and argumentative, as though I had done something wrong. If you want old vegetables, this is your place!

We ordered takeout. After an hour and a half waiting and two calls promised it was on it's way, it arrived. Egg roll..cold and congealed. Shrimp teryaki a mushy pasty ball of something. All inedible.

Yuck
I really hate to be a complainer, but I ordered the sesame chicken and it was literally too gross to eat. It was 70% dough and 30% mushy dark meat covered in overly sweet sauce. Maybe this was just a bad exception to the norm; however, there won't be a second chance to find out.

Lunch Special Delivery
My new go-to delivery place. I've been searching for a long time and haven't been happy with any of the places I've tried in the neighborhood. It was a huge relief to find Grand Sichuan. Lunch Special is about $6 with 2 choices from soups (hot & sour- my fave, egg drop, wonton. Other to choose is vegi fried, white or Brown. I like pork and I fave is L15, Double Cooked Pork. I think pork is lightly boiled and then, sir fried with leeks. The sweetness from leeks and fatty pork texture work beautifully with hot peppers. Since this is heavy side of dish, I choose Brown rice. Hustle-free delivery guys are nice.

Poor Asian experience in the city
Don't know why this place stays open. The food was subpar. The service was too. Staff was unhappy and rude. Don't waste your time here!

don't bother with the takeout
over the years empire was a place you could order out cheap chinese. never was it good, but the kids didn't know the difference and thought it was different. unfortunately these jokers now raise their prices (up 40-60%) and lower their quality -- significantly, and finally to a point so unacceptably subpar that i thought that anyone thinking of eating at this joint should know.
