Golden Empire in Liverpool

Below Average food. And they staffs don’t treat all the guests equally. They have priorities. You know what I mean!

20 of us came last night to celebrate my Dad’s 60th birthday and had the most amazing night! From the start, we were helped with how we wanted the night to run, given recommendations on food and we were so glad we listened to your advice of having a buffet style party! All the food was excellent, served hot and so much of it that we were still eating it at home way into the early hours! Service was exceptional and staff really went the full mile to ensure we had the best celebration as a family - thank you especially for the special surprises at the end! Thank you for everything, we can't wait to come back soon!

A fantastic restaurant!!! We booked here for a family of 21 to celebrate a 60th birthday. From the very start of planning, they were amazing and knew exactly what they were doing, so they could help us out on arranging it all. We went for the buffet style meal, and OMG, it was amazing. The food was delicious hot and plenty of it. The staff were attentive right the way through. Nothing was too much trouble. We won't mention the complimentary birthday shots 🤣🤣 Thank you so much for e everything it was delicious 😋

Visited with friends for a banquet. By far the best Chinese in Liverpool. Excellent efficient service from very friendly staff. The food was hot and delicious, had to give everything a try! Please don’t be offended if at ordering you’re asked to pay. The staff very politely explained to us that unfortunately they’d had issues with customers enjoying their food and leaving without paying….disgraceful behaviour imo. Well done to all at the Golden Empire we will be back soon!!

Staff were lovely. Food was amazing and loads of it. Lady who served us was really friendly and chatty. We were in Liverpool for the weekend and will be back next time.

We have been going to the golden empire for as long as I remember and the food is amazing every time. We have just used them for our party buffet for my little boys christening and everyone commented about how gorgeous the food was and was asking me where it was from! Julie in particular has been so helpful in helping me pick what food and to get it all organised! Cannot recommend the golden empire enough

So my order for last night was as follows, Bbq ribs - the ribs where that dried up they was crispy, tough & looked like they was cooked the day before (yellowed meat), for the sauce was certainly not like any bbq sauce I have ever had Char siu fu yung with chips - what an unpleasant mushed up joke, chips had been cooked that many times they was certainly crispy with no potatoe left in the poor things. The worst is here at last, Beef in blackbean sauce with egg fried rice - gelatined/curdled beef in a slimey sauce was definitely not freshest meat or nor blackbean sauce. All of this took just over 5 min to warm up for collection Put me off this place for life, food maybe 2, Freshness maybe a day old, Flavour 1 Texture 1 I like a Chinese but this was something completely different. £24 not worth the money & went in the bin.

Food was disgusting . They have rodents hidden in the secret stew and I think I have contaminated level 10 aids would not recommend ps the Chinese guy is very angry follow up on Issac I to licked his ear lobe and he decided it would be funny to use his Chinese king fu on me so me not taking any of it threw my infant baby at him taking him clean off of his feet he then poured the secret aids stew into my eyes and what I saw next scared me for life I saw 2 big black guys with their sacks out hitting the thug shake on the Chinese man 10/10 would recommend the experience

We have made this place a little new years eve tradition now this is our 3rd year in a row and never been disappointed at all. Its only a small restaurant but great food and relaxed atmosphere too make it a lovely little place to eat ...

Best Chinese in Liverpool hands down.

Food very tasty and was lovely and hot for a delivery

We have been going the golden empire for years as a family of 23.also home delivery. Never had a problem until now. Tonight 8/11/23. We ordered food for our T. I asked for no chilli yet my chickens were full of them. Also the food was only slightly warm. Most of it went in the bin. Wasted almost £20.

Visited the golden empire this evening for my nephew’s 16th birthday what a place to eat in or take away the food was fantastic service was amazing made to feel right at home so friendly and welcoming atmosphere and surroundings was clean beautifully decorated can’t do enough for you prices are fair for the amount food you get to best Chinese restaurant in Liverpool in my book thanks to Julie and all the staff at the golden empire for a great night really enjoyed spending the time their with the family would highly recommend the golden empire to anyone either sit in or take away.

Absolutely gorgeous and service is five 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

First visit to the Golden Empire, won't be the last, staff excellent. Service to a very high standard . Food 10/ 10, worth every penny. We will return next time we are in Liverpool , recommend this place to anyone looking for a restaurant that is value for money, and a big thank you to Lindsy who looked after us, thank you. David & Deborah , Leamington spa.

It's a fantastic restaurant. A great place 4 birthday. Weddings party's & the staff are brilliant very polite also very entertaining to all visitors

Had a lovely time here with family. The food was amazing and good variety, even the little fusspots was happy with their chicken nuggets. The restaurant had a lovely traditional chinese decor and staff were very welcoming.

First time visiting this restaurant and will definitely be back. The food was absolutely delicious.

I’ve been coming here with my partner and his family for about 20 years. It’s a family run business and they’re lovely. Recently they’ve had to ask customers to pay before they order their food as some people have been running out before the bill arrives which is heartbreaking. The food is always fantastic and there’s a good range to order from which is very reasonably priced.

The staff was fantastic made my dad 92nd birthday special the food was excellent deffo go back again

The nicest Chinese going, not to be knocked because of its location. Went with our toddler son on a Saturday night and the staff were amazing with him. The best crispy chilli chicken I’ve ever had. Thank you Golden Empire, see you soon!

I ordered food for delivery noodles with vegetables am vegan and am disappointed because was bits of ometto in my meal.curry sauce Good and aslo spring rolls but way too spicy I only ordered spring rolls but strange round things came in the same box.please in future don't add egg to a vegan dish thanks as I plan to vist restaurant.

Food is always delicious one of my favourite go to places for both eating in and taking out

Booked a table for 15 people family and friends on New Year’s Eve Had an amazing night food was delicious as always atmosphere was great Never felt rushed considering how busy it was Set meal was great value for money 4 people was in are company who have never been an one of them booked a big table for her birthday she was that impressed with the food 🍲 🥳 Thankyou to the staff too for running around after us

Very underrated restaurant. Exceptional food, lovely staff and a great atmosphere in the restaurant. Also if you get home delivery always arrives promptly. Try this place, guaranteed you will be back!

We had a family meal here, and despite how awkward we were, the staff were extremely kind and served some delicious food :))

Great portions nice tasty food great service cosy surroundings but you pay for your food first..because of some customers just leaving

Right where do i begin..food was amazing but the hospitality was appalling everything from the drinks starters mains etc was mashed up really tho i had to go to toilet to calm myself down… the manageress couldn’t care she said i was drunk n rightly so coz we waited 70 mins just for soup as soon as i took my first mouthful i got a card reader shoved in my face to pay upfront….do yerself a favour n avoid

Absolutely fabulous food as always. Our family favourite always come here for family occasions. Excellent service and amazing food and the staff always go above and beyond.

Mrs Lee and her daughter Julie always welcome you their their great restaurant. Food is out of this world, always look after us.

Went there yesterday haven't been there for years and I can honestly say everything was spot on from the service to the food highly recommend.

Food Quality, below average Ingredients - extremely salty Staff - very friendly and professional. Timing, ready in 15 minutes Visit again, No I think the positive reviews are posted either by the owner or restaurant staff.

Been here few times now food is lovely and staff and service is excellent

Lovely food plus friendly staff

Great food and very friendly service, enjoyed my birthday there

We visited last week it was amazing as ever. Loads of attention showered on my 4 year old and 3 months old granddaughters. They were busy but nothing was too much for them. Food amazing. Keep up the good work 😃

Absolute amazing place. The staff can't do enough for you from the second you walk in. The atmosphere is good nice chilled setting. The food is perfect, cooked perfect and nice and hot. Would highly recommend to anyone. You will go away feeling bloated. But you can take any food left home in a takeaway box.

Visited 29 may 2022 party of 8. Staff very friendly, food was very good. Enjoyed with plenty of smiles the sambuca shots for my birthday celebration.

Fantastic restaurant excellent food realy friendly staff and Fantastic atmosphere...

Ordered a takeaway on recommendation. Please do not order the chicken/sweetcorn soup. Offered to exchange but for what. Some semblence of chicken in the way of stock maybe the way forward. But Avoid at all cost. Tastless. The Fried stuff passable won't be returning. Far better takeaways round here.

The best Chinese in the city absolutely beautiful a must try

Fabulous food and fantastic service.

Best Chinese gaff in Liverpool food is fabulous I've eaten in here for years staff are amazing ❤️😘

Always so welcoming!! Family atmosphere is lovely. Will always keep going 😍

Some of the best Chinese food I've had. Love the platter. Banquets are great too. You get loads 😁

Beautiful Food. Been there many A Time Always Nice.

Initially intended to go to Phoenix Palace but it is closed on a Monday, by a sheer fluke we ended up in this sensation little restaurant, the staff were amazing & the food was exceptional, tasty, and extremely plentiful. Very child friendly, couldn't do enough for them, they have even converted our 5 & 6 year olds from McDonald's to Chinese cuisine. We will be back 100% amazing !

The food deals are out of this world and really value for money. Really lovely people attending you too 😊

Cosy place but the staff seemed not to understand their own menu, we ordered the veg chow mein with crispy noodles, which was displayed as a choice on their menu, the meal was nice but we won't go back because we were charged £10.50 for 2 plates of plain crispy noodles that apparently we ordered as a side to the veg chow mein which had soft noodles. The manager then either lied to us or repeated a lie from their waitress that we specifically order extra noodles. Why would anyone order two plates of noodles and two sides of different plain noodles? We paid bc we were tired and cba arguing but should have just walked out, no wonder they have signs saying customers might have to pay up front.

Had another lovely family meal here again. Food is always excellent and plenty of it. Service is also very good

Order at 5:45pm and delivery came quite quickly after that. Delivery driver was lovely and delivery was included in the order price as had ordered so much. Minimum order for delivery is £8 and in that case delivery is £1. Much cheaper than uber eats and much quicker. I was happy with the food except the spring rolls had a thick pastry on them and I like the small, light, really crispy ones. Other than that it was great. Beef and black bean with chips Red chilli crispy chicken with boiled rice Crispy lamb with pancakes Spring rolls And got some free potato things not sure what they are And free prawn crackers

Cosy little restaurant with friendly staff and very good food my favourite chicken tom yam soup

Food was nice and it was hot. Would recommend

Lovely Scran in this place. Kin Do ribs and sauce is spot on. Hot and fresh food always

Used to eat here all the time, used to eat Inside and takeaway, it USED to be lovely but standards have dropped and some of the food I used to love has dropped in standard can't afford to waste money on food that I can't eat.

Quick, nice & delicious. What else do you need?

Amazing lovely generous staff, gorgeous food which is is so reasonably priced and the nicest delivery driver every single time. Couldn’t say a single bad word - thanks for everything! xxxxxxxxx

Very tasty food, I had a chicken satay and I even ate the vegetables (I don't usually eat vegetables, but the sauce was really nice). Staff were friendly and the salt and pepper chips were banging 👌 would defo come here again, thanks!

Ordered duck chicken sweetcorn soup,salt pepper chicken with fried rice. Spring rolls. Only the duck was eatable. Very very very poor indeed. No chicken in the soup which was very yellow. Burnt rice. Too much batter on chicken. Vile. Complete waste of £26.00. An a 4 pound tip.

Acabo de recibir una comida encantadoraLa comida estaba caliente y como siempre.Muy agradable. He recibido algunas comidas y aún no me ha decepcionado.Recomiendo encarecidamente el restaurante

Six of us had one of the best Chinese meals we have ever had first time visit for us definitely booking again thankyou all at the golden empire

Found this hair in my food only here for a weekend and put me right off Chinese food

Good value for money and nice food

Decor is brill. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Food was excellent and good value for money.

Very highly recommended great food great service

Great service, amazing food, take out or eat in. Service was great.

Visited here a couple of times and loved it. Decided to book for christmas day and so glad we did. Food was lovely. Every dish was tasty. Highly recommend char sui satay or salt and pepper sui mais Plenty of food and good value for money. Julie who served us is so friendly. Kids loved it so much we visited again yesterday in January. Think we will make it a regular thing.

Not very busy but food was so tasty and good portion sizes and staff really friendly would recommend to anyone

I like this the services is very good.

Fantastic friendly staff and a wonderful service! The food was delicious and very good value for money. Will be going back there soon!

Mi familia y yo fuimos una vez más a nuestro restaurante chino favorito el domingo 24 de noviembre para celebrar 3 cumpleaños. Como de costumbre, no nos decepcionó, la comida era excelente y abundante, el servicio excelente, el personal es muy servicial y amable, nada es demasiado para ellos. Se proporcionó una silla alta para el uso de nuestro nieto de 6 meses. Nos hicieron sentir muy bienvenidos y como era temprano el domingo por la noche casi teníamos el restaurante para nosotros solos. Volveremos pronto

Visited golden empire for the first time and the food was brilliant. Definitely my go to Chinese and also my go to takeaway restaurant 5*

The best Chinese food I've had in years. If you find yourself in this part of Liverpool check this place out. The food is amazing and the customer care is excellent!

We had an amazing meal very reasonably priced and excellent quality. The girls who served us made a fuss and treated everyone really well. Will definitely be back.

Love going the golden empire, great value for money have been going for years now, food is always nice, staff is amazing julie who always serves us looks after us everytime, drinks could be a bit better they always seem to be very flat, other than I will be going back

Seeing as my hotel do not provide food in the week, I decided to go for a wander and came across this gem of a place. Extensive menu but what was amazing as the 4 course dinner for £13. I settled for hot and sour soup (with crackers), salt and pepper chicken starter.and chicken curry with rice for main. (Couldn't manage dessert). Lovely food, well cooked, piping hot, great portions (photos below) and a really friendly service. I will definitely return before I return home.

Fuimos aquí no estábamos seguros porque solo había una mesa en uso. Pero pensamos darle una oportunidad. Fue horrible. Mi esposo no pidió cebolla, tuvo que escoger las cebollas para que se las dijeran después de que era col. De Verdad. Repollo gracioso que sabía a cebolla porque lo probé. Se suponía que se trataba de carne de res chow mein que se parecía más a los súper fideos sin gustos en absoluto. Mi comida también era horrible. Pedí pollo agridulce, el pollo estaba duro. Y la salsa era básica nada especial. Dejé la mayor parte de eso. La mejor parte fueron las 2 botellas de cerveza corona. 25 desperdicio de dinero. Mi consejo es evitar que esté vacío porque es una basura.

visited tonight with my family, the food & service was both perfect! honestly was the best chinese food i’ve had in a very long time! will be back soon!

This restaurant been here for over 30 years and the new owner took over for 5 years. The service is beyond standard Julie are absolutely amazing couldn’t thank her more! She will go out her way to please everyone and she make sure other staffs do the same! Would definitely recommend the 16£ menu with 5 course include soup starter, duck, main course and dessert !! We would definitely come back and will bring more friends here next time !! Once again thank you golden empire !

This restaurant was extremely disappointing. We eat all around the city and wouldn't go back here.

Evitar este lugar a toda costa. La comida era muy vil. Estuve enfermo todo el día después de comer aquí. El sum sumo se había cocinado. Alguien había limpiado todo el suelo del baño. El plato principal era simplemente horrible. Vuelva aquí, hágase un favorito, vaya, el personal del Sr. Chilis es mucho mejor que una comida más allá de una

Visitamos el restaurante por primera vez ayer con familiares y amigos. Habíamos escuchado mucho acerca de lo hermosa que era la comida y el servicio, pero nunca tuvimos el tiempo para hacerlo. Estábamos celebrando un cumpleaños número 18 allí, ya que nuestros amigos conocen al propietario.

Love this place defo favourite chinese

Excellent food. Lovely friendly staff. Would highly recommend.

We had my husband's 50th last night at the restaurant,lovely little restaurant food was so nice & the staff are so helpful especially julie such a lovely lady she couldnt do enough for us thank you for a lovely night.

Had our double 50th here this evening with family lovely food absolutely amazing staff especially Julie looked after us very well and a lovely gift of a bottle of prossecco thank you for a lovely night looking forward to coming back

Unfortunately this restaurant is happy to take bookings but has not enough staff to cope at all. Just 2 young staff to cope with a full restaurant and do take away orders! We had to wait about 30 mins just to be asked if we wanted a drink. the main meal very very late and it was warm not hot food. No one came back to check if we were happy during our meal and we was Very disappointed as we were looking forward to going after reading all the good reviews. We would not go to this restaurant again.

Este restaurante me lo había recomendado un colega. A la tía le encanta la comida china y resulta que nunca había estado allí. Gran lugar, excelente servicio. Camarera era increíble y realmente nos cuidó. Comida maravillosa ya un precio razonable. Definitivamente vale la pena una visita. Volveremos. Y nuevamente, gracias al personal por hacer tanto alboroto a la tía.

Lovely little restaurant can't do enough for you

Gorgeous food, quick & friendly service

Amazing food and top notch service, extremely friendly staff. Food and drink can be expensive but definately worth it.

Great food and friendly staff, we had a lovely night xx 👌👍😋

Absolutely love it here, the food is fantastic but we always go back because of the staff, Julie is just amazing and of course everyone else, make so much fuss while working so busily! Great value for money! They will go above and beyond x x x

Can't really give this mess a star. This has to be the worst food, worst service best way to ruin a family gathering, several of us ill afterwards, chicken cold on inside, just avoid it, seriously should be closed.

Great food at reasonable prices plus takeaway too

Acabamos de tener nuestra comida de Navidad en el imperio dorado y fue excepcional. Éramos 20 que teníamos el especial de Navidad de 5 platos, así que habríamos entendido si el servicio fuera un poco lento, pero Julie fue increíble. ! Toda nuestra comida salió rápidamente y muy caliente cada plato estaba delicioso y con una excelente relación calidad-precio. Recomendaríamos totalmente el restaurante debido al servicio cordial y excelente comida, sopa caliente y amarga muy sabrosa y frituras. Gracias Julie y el resto del personal volveremos.

Excellent friendly staff food superb

Lovely food, nice staff, reasonably priced. Excellent

Great food at resonal prices, friendly staff,
