East Empress

Excellent range of Chinese plus a small offering of Japanese dishes makes this an ideal dining experience.
The wine list and the very good and professional service have given me many enjoyable dinners at the East Empress.
We can’t wait to return.

Love the food!!!

Spoilt! That’s is the immense amount of choice we have for a good dinner in Melbourne. Well this is in the suburbs and is my local Chinese restaurant but everything that they do I love! I’m a big fan of their banquets, it’s a great way to get an impressive selection of food to fill you and satisfy your taste buds. I think that east empress stands out from other suburban Chinese restaurants, is the fact that it’s a spacious layout with quite a modern feel. You’re not just crammed into a little room that is cheap to run! There service has always been great when eating in and their prices are very reasonable for the serving sizes. They also do take out which is still kept to a great quality and is usual very quickly ready for pick up. I highly recommend it to everyone in the area.

One of the best Chinese restaurants in Glen Waverley, East Empress has long been one of my favourite places to grab takeaway from.
I rarely eat in the restaurant itself because the takeaway menu is a bit cheaper, but when I do, I am always impressed with the immaculately set out tables, the service of the waiting staff, and the presentation of the food when it arrives.
The prices are fairly high when you dine in, though. That isn’t to say that it isn’t worth it, because it really is. Most main dishes range from $ 20 to $ 35, but you’re getting real quality for that price. For me, it’s a bit of a treat, the same sort of thing that makes seeing a movie in Gold Class a special occasion.
As I said, takeaway is a bit cheaper. My wife and I usually grab a beef with cashews, fried rice and a few dim sims, and it works out to be a bit under $ 25. They’re pretty quick at getting the order ready, too. We usually drive up to the shop, phone the order in, and spend the next few minutes looking for a car park. By that time, it’s ready to pick up and go.
Totally recommend this place to anyone.
