Empire Buffet - Stanhope

This place was VERY dirty. Dirty spoons, dirty soy sauce bottle, crusted over mustard, salt and pepper shakers dirty, no labels describing the food, sweet and sour soup tasted like it was there for HOURS, barely food in the pans and what was there was either cold or old. I brought this to the attention of the gentleman who was servicing the dining room and we STILL were charged full price. Ohhhh wait the soda was EXCEPTIONAL!! I thwarted a couple from coming in and suffering the same experience we had. PLEASE READ THE REVIEWS!!!!

I went in 2016 and then again in 2023. Nice family business and good food +prices).

This place has a small buffet selection, the egg rolls are frozen and not fresh and you taste the freezer burn truly disgusting. Alot of the food is bland with no flavor, and the sauces are watered down. While aervice here was good I wish I can say the same for the food.

If you like old, rancid meat and stale noodles or rice that don 't taste like noodles or rice, this is the spot for you. There is hardly any food, quite very awkward and uncomfortable atmosphere and everything feels unsafe to eat. Without any exaggeration, this is hands down the worst restaurant experience I 've ever had in my life. Be sure to try the lemonade, a delicious blend of what tastes like cough syrup and sugar water. Do not eat here.

Dirty establishment, with dried out bad quality food, socially awkward servers. It used to be one of my favorite places to eat, went SEVERLY down hill.
