Since moving to caithness in 2001 we as a family have been die hard fans and customers of another local chinese takeaway but they were closed and we decided to opt for an alternative. The empire was chosen as an alternative but honestly think this will now become our first choice place to go! Firstly it was busy...to me that was a good sign! Our previous haunt was never busy and this was reassuring as first timers that were wary on what we were all going to get. Our only disappointment was there was no thai red curry however simply because we did not know the menu choice in advance- we found other suited menu choices and delighted with what we got! Everything was cooked beautifully, the food tasted fresh, full of flavour and was competitively priced. Will definitely return!
Food was good. Ordered Satay Chicken, Beef Mongo and Egg Fried Rice. For an Aussie ordering Chinese in North Scotland didn't expect much. Food had some spice to it which was good after the weeks of UK food. Service was quick, food came fast.
Cash only, but entirely worth it. Best and most beautiful orange chicken I have ever eaten, and the golden rolls changed my life.
Teach your cashier to read back what the customer ordered, on walk ins. It's common curiosity.
Two Americans, eating Chinese in northern Scotland. Very different, but good. Love the rice puffs. Father came out to give us plates.
One special egg foo young....no gravy. Was missing soy sauce, hot mustard sauce, or S/S sauce.
Two hot n sour soups.
One fried rice (but we paid for two)!!
Brilliant Chinese Take away . The fried rice with pork and dry spare ribs are some of the best I have eaten. It's a clean and very nice looking place inside . The service was quick and friendly. Will definitely visit again when in the area .
Only Chinese I ever use in Thurso as I received brilliant service the first time I went in there and have continued to do so ever since, so see no reason to change. (we order from here at least once a week) Staff are always friendly and polite, my order is always on time, and piping hot; I have to take it 7 miles home and still burn my fingers plating it up. You would have a hard time trying to find better and no doubt very easily find worse.
First time I've been in yrs the food was excellent 👏
Hot and sour soup. Special curry and fried rice. Still piping hot when I arrived on foot at premier inn.
Soup really tasty. Curry good too. Served quickly but was a Monday night
Amazing travelled from wick, to order my food very friendly staff, and the food is amazing reminds me of my local in Manchester :) fair prices too I'd recommend empire to folk thank you for your service
Really enjoyable Chinese, tasted great and didn't wait long at all.
Ribs were a tad dry but everything else was great.
I would go back again.
Finally got around to trying Empire. I had low expectations due to their mixed reviews. I was pleasantly surprised. Our food was ready right on time and it was very good!
Very nice food, used this place a few times now and never anything wrong. Personal taste that the prawn toast is a little over done for me but hubby loves it so does everyone else in the family lol I will certainly order from them for the foreseeable future 😁
