Budget-Friendly Choices at Empire House

Navigating the large menu at Empire House can be done economically by focusing on the traditional rice and noodle dishes or opting for the “Set Dinner” combinations. Choosing a substantial base like a chow mein or fried rice allows for a filling meal at a lower price point compared to ordering multiple separate meat and seafood entrees.

Option TypeWhat to ExpectSmart Choice Example
Value mealsBalanced meals at lower costSet Dinner for one
Light mealsSmaller portionsChicken Corn Soup
Saver dealsBasic combinationsEgg Fried Rice
Everyday picksPractical and affordableChicken Chow Mein
  • Choosing a Chicken Chow Mein instead of a premium seafood dish helps control total cost while still providing a complete, satisfying meal.
  • Simple meal deals, particularly the set dinners, are often the most practical for everyday users looking to sample multiple flavors for a fixed price.
  • Standard rice-based meals are usually the easiest choice for quick ordering and offer the most consistent value across the menu.

What to Order at Empire House Based on Your Needs

With hundreds of items available, the menu is designed to cater to diverse tastes, from those seeking mild, comforting flavors to fans of bold, spicy dishes.

  • For solo meals: A Special Fried Rice provides a balanced portion of various meats and vegetables in a single, filling dish.
  • For chicken lovers: Options like Chicken with Cashew Nuts are commonly chosen for a lighter experience with added crunch and texture.
  • For beef lovers: Hearty dishes such as Crispy Shredded Chilli Beef are preferred for a more filling meal with a distinct sweet and spicy kick.
  • For budget-conscious users: Smaller items like Spring Rolls or choosing vegetable-led mains help manage spending.
  • For quick takeaway: Noodle-based dishes or Sweet and Sour Pork Balls are easier to carry and maintain their quality during transport.
  • If you prefer a spicier or stronger flavor, options in the Kung Po or Szechuan categories may be more suitable.
  • If you are looking for a lighter option, the Mixed Vegetable dishes or clear soups are often easier to manage.

What to Know Before Ordering from Empire House

The menu is organized by protein and cooking style, so understanding the terminology can help you find exactly what you are looking for.

  • Portion sizes are generally generous, especially in the rice and noodle sections, and are often suitable for sharing.

  • Add-ons such as Prawn Crackers or extra portions of sauce can increase the total cost quickly but are a traditional part of the experience.
  • Some items such as the House Special Curry may be more filling than expected as they typically contain a mix of chicken, beef, and king prawns.
  • Availability of specific seasonal specials or seafood may vary slightly based on local market sourcing.
