Meh. Overcooked chicken, bland, yet salty. Undercooked pork wontons. They were doughy and greasy, not crisp and crunchy.
Would not recommend

Ordered delivery which is super handy. Huge menu and tons of options. The sesame Chicken was over cooked which made it not enjoyable. The Crab Ragoons were just cream cheese. Average price but you can see why. I would try somewhere else.

Thought I'd give it a try, since we haven't had a Chinese Buffet in Fort Collins for some time now. Not a great selection, and it felt run-down. Food was okay, but not great, and the selection was pretty limited.

We used to get take-out from Empire Palace and the food was edible. Based on previous experience, we thought it would be safe to order from there a couple of days ago. This recent order consisted of several different entrees and appetizers, all of which were bad. The lo-mein was oily and bland, the egg rolls were oily, cold, and soggy, the pad thai was pretty much lo-mein (same sauce, similar noodles, none of the usual additions), the vietnamese bowl was cold with several inedible meat roll sections included, and the dumplings were bland and pasty. Aside from the awful food, the restaurant itself was dirty and grimy. Stay away!

This is my favorite Asian restaurant in Fort Collins. The extensive menu can seem daunting at first, but I am glad they have it since everything has been fantastic, try it all! The vegetable lo mein is well worth the upgrade as a side instead of rice.
The physical space used to be pretty funky with a few tables to eat in at the restaurant. The renovations now present a market with a plethora of both exotic and not too exotic Asian wares including food, small appliances and beauty products. There is still a table to wait at in case your order isn’t ready(only happed once and I was early) and you don’t feel like ogling the noodles and dumplings you probably want to bring home for the future!

We love buffets and the only Chinese one we know of is in Loveland so we were happy to stumble upon this. Went for the lunch buffet on a Saturday. Food was good. Not a giant selection but decent enough. The desserts were terrible. Hard as a rock stale, all of them. This place is nothing great but we would come back.

Good Chinese food is hard to find in Fort Collins/Loveland area these days. Too oily and too sweet to please American palate is the norm. So when we decided to try this new place for lunch, we were skeptical. First surprise was the long menu with many old names that I have not seen in a while plus some exotic Chinese plates I won't dare to try ! We cautiously ordered Hunan Chicken and Mangolian beef, both of which turned out very good. This place is may not be known considering it was almost empty, or take out is more common considering calls they were getting. But this place is worth trying because we were impressed with our first visit, and will come here again to try something new. And yes about the waitress - I believe they have a language and American culture problem. She was abrupt and was avoiding conversation making a wrong impression. No other complaint about service. She was prompt. So be patient !

It took an hour for them to deliver my food. It was cold, soggy, and the taste made me gag- I ate hospital food for a year and a half and this was worse.
The service was disappointing. I called after waiting 30 minutes. She said the driver was on the way. I called again 45 minutes later. She said he was very far away and I'm pretty sure she didn't even bother to apologize. He finally showed up after 55 minutes, gave me the food, said "thanks" without even looking at me, and then walked away.
I'm calling them in the morning to get my $16 back, and at the very least the tip. They deserve an extra penny at best.
I'm blown away that this is business is driving itself nose down into the ground. This is Colorado. People here enjoy their weed and I know they have munchies. I hope they get new management because no soul should have to taste such filth.

I was curious why this place was rated so low, so I opened it up to check the reviews, and am glad I did! Looks like most people thought their food was good but were rating poorly because of slow delivery service. I solved that by ordering take out and was very happy with the experience. They quoted me 25 minutes but the food was ready in about 15-17 minutes. The BBQ Pork Buns were really good, and I normally am not a big fan of them. I also ordered the Honey Walnut Shrimp, which was very tasty and very filling and the shrimp were a really good size. The Sesame Chicken was really good, too, both fresh and reheated. The sauce was really tasty! For $25, I got two entrees, one including shrimp, and the pork buns. The prices were very reasonable!
The boy waiting on me was really sweet and very friendly. I would definitely eat here again and hope more people give them a try!

This place is horrible, completely messed up my order because the guy seemed like he had something so much better to do then to take my order. Paid 30 dollars for them to give me not a single thing right. Then the owner who can not speak English at all tried to blame me for the order being wrong, I tried to explain how who ever took the order barley gave me the time of day. They must have been related because they both had the same piss poor customer is always wrong attitude. It took me 30 minutes of arguing for them to agree to give me the food they were supposed to give me in the first place. Then no bye, thank you, sorry. She just hangs up. I have to call back to see how long it will be and she got the order wrong again then tells me "Another hour" HANG UP!!!!! Now I sit here 1 hour later still dreaming of noodles and have still not gotten anything.
IN SUMMERY-
I would rather have a panda crap in my mouth then ever think of ordering from them again.

Haven't been to the restaurant. Ordered takeout/delivery. Was told an hour, showed up in about 40 minutes. Was lukewarm, but it was only about 20 degrees outside. Small portions. Nothing special. Won't be ordering from them again.

Fresh vegetables make their dishes taste so good. I like the Basil with vegetables and chicken. Chicken soup is another favorite. Give it a try. It is reasonable. The restaurant is not pretty but the food makes up for it. Try takeout.

Fast. Fresh. Hot. Everything they advertise is true. We had Boneless Ribs, Steamed and Fried Rice, and Chicken Chow Mein. I usually don't like springs rolls but theirs were large and delicious. I'm glad I tries them and everything else we ordered. Next time I will visit so I can experience the atmosphere of the restaurant.
