I can’t express enough how good this place is, it’s become quite a nice treat to look forward to as every single time the food is perfection and sooo tasty, the portion sizes are fantastic and the value for money is great! The staff are very friendly also! I should also mention we always phone and order and then pick it up in person, they let you know roughly what time to pick it up and it’s usually only in 15/2mins time and it’s always ready when we get there! Would 100%recommend

Lovely staff, always a nice welcome, great food ...... our fave Chinese takeaway by far. A good menu offered and the food is consistently nice. .... never greasy or padded out. my fave is beef with green peppers and blacken sauce, ... if you ask you may get a little extra hot green chilli pepper added which is delightful.

I never leave bad reviews but on this occasion I must. I just went into the New Empire to order food and looked at the menu to see what I could order. As required by Law, Natasha's Law, all allergens must be stated on the menu. They are not. There is a sign that lists foods people can be allergic to and says they are in some of the meals, If you have an allergy ask a member of staff for advice. Ok. So I ask " can you tell me which vegetable dishes have gluton in them" the answer was, "some do some dont" I asked for a pen so I could mark off what I could eat. She gave me a pen and just looked at me. A lady came in and she said " move away I have customer" Im errrr " what? " she again told me to move she had a customer. Well I am a customer! But I thought ok I dont want someones food going cold so I moved aside pen and menu in hand and waited. She served the lady and then just ignored me. She shuffled paper, picked things up put them down and refused to look at me leaving me standing infront of her feeling very uncomfortable. More customers came in and she happily served them. At which point I said " i'm sorry to of troubled you" and left. That is disgusting customer service by any standards.

By far the most fantastic Chinese take away in Cardiff. The vegetarian dishes are exquisite - I have the vegetarian sweet and sour chicken and feel like I’m eating the real thing - I don’t miss out in anything. The egg friend rice and soft noodles are also top class.

Got a takeaway from here & firstly noticed the excellent precautions put in place - yes you had to queue but they have a 5 health & hygiene rating which is reassuring. We didn't have to wait long considering we hadn't pre-ordered. Food was reasonably priced; lots of it; wide choice of menu and tasted lovely and fresh. Staff were working tirelessly to complete orders on time & judging by the constant stream of people turning up, it didn't seem to disappoint!

I ordered The following meals: Chicken foo young The foo young wasn’t evenly cooked. The eggs were still runny in the tray. Special Fried Rice 4 pieces of chicken and even less pork. Tasteless and bland. Despite me asking for no prawns they included prawns. One of my guests has a fish allergy. Around 10 peas included in the rice. Tasteless choice. Beef Chow Mein Only a dish of onions noodles and a few bean sprouts. No other vegetables at all included within this chow mein. There was only about 6 pieces of beef but the dish was very salty and dry. The worst chow mein I have ever tasted. I don’t know if this takeaway has changed hands but the meal was sub standard. On,y vegetables that were used were onions and frozen peas. If I could have given this place no stars I would have done so. I would give this place a wide berth.

What happened? Most recent reviews describe this as a great place to get a takeaway. Maybe the usual cook was laid up with something but our takeaway last night was a dreary miserable offering. Cantonese people have a word for the sort of food that you get in British takeaways, lup sup. It's food that's either been though up to satisfy British tastes or real dishes that have been modified for the same reason. I like it. I really love Szechuan Chinese food, it's hot and challenging, full of texture and mad flavours. Cantonese takeaway is plain but comforting because it's what we've grown up with. It can be done really well if the cook and owners actually care, but the New Empire failed in this regard. The best that I can say about this food was that it was hot. That's something guess. If it had been lukewarm it would have been a disgusting, greasy, tasteless brown mess. Horrible.

Great customer experience here today. The food was excellent the price was very reasonable and the service was warm and friendly. I called up, and explained I was vegan and asked probing questions about the ingredients... as you do... the lady I spoke with was extremely conscientious and I was suitably put at ease. I will definitely be coming back.

New Empire has been in this spot for as long as I can remember, I've recently moved back to Whitchurch and been here several times for takeaway and it's been good each time. Most recently we got the veggie meal for two, the veggie chicken balls and spring rolls really tasty! They're old school in that they're not on just eat (or even deliver) but they're a great local chinese, and they have a 5 star hygiene rating!

ordered crispy beef and egg fried rice, it was ready in 10 minutes, which means its not cooked freshly, definately not fresh, rice was a very dark brown possibly refried. Crispy beef was not fresh and rubbery, reheated from before I guess, had an eftertaste. The takeaways seem to be hit or miss and im going elsewhere now.

Wednesday evening I was the only one in the restaurent. Big mistake I made was ordering the Chinese food. I obviously paid but walked out after a few bites it was that bad. Spicy spring roll Chicken friend rice with tikka chicken Soggy luke warm sweet and sour chicken Genuinely think advertising as Chinese as well as the other specialities Indian etc is false advertising. Stick to what you are good at and leave Chinese food well alone.

Usually the go to chinese for my friends and I for the amazing vegan options, with the ability to have any dish with vegan meat alternatives. But very sadly the last couple of times we have gone to order Yang's have been closed with no explanation as to why on the website or on the restaurant door.
