“We reserved a large room at 9 Roses to host our wedding rehearsal lunch. The food was delicious and the waitstaff was attentive. We worked with the owner to come up with a set menu for each table. We loved the caramelized Louisiana catfish! We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend 9 Roses for a private event!“
“The ladies working are always great! The Bo Bo tray is definitely worth it; it's a lot more than you think. We also had the clay pot fish, combo fried rice, and wonton soup and everything was well seasoned and great portions. They're usually slow on the inside, but we saw a lot of takeout orders. People should really dine in to experience the great service too. One of the best Chinese/Vietnamese restaurants on the westbank!“
“Great out of the way home in the wall chineas food restaurant. I have seen several times and always wondered about this place. Today was the day, I walk in and it was like a ghost town with one employee in the back. I smelled some wonderful aromas and heard the clank of metal spatula and a wok on the background. This place might be a hidden gem. I looked menu and then decide on the Triple delight, shrimp chicken and beef with broccoli and white rice on the side. It was very fresh tasting, and just enough saltiness not over powering. I really enjoyed the sauce the chicken was tender as was the shrimp and beef. The broccoli had a good snap to it still so it wasn't over cooked. I got some soy sauce but that was the only part that wasn't great not sure why but it wasn't the soy sauce flavor I was used to very bland. I have my own bottle at home for leftovers. So thanks for a great lunch. Thanks to the China King“
“My first time here; as soon as I walked in, I was in love with the place. I see too many of these little “take out only” Chinese restaurants that are lit by fluorescent lighting ? and when I walked inside Empress of China, I knew I loved it. It was not bright inside, and Chinese mysic played softly in the background. So, immediately 10/10 for the atmosphere.The service was outstanding! The server got to me quickly, very attentive, friendly, git everything right. The tables were all clean, and had a young man who took care of that immediately after the customers left and cleaned the table thoroughly.I ordered the Mandarin Chicken. This is my “comfort food” at any Chinese restaurant. For those who don’t know this dish, it is boneless chicken (breast meat or thigh meat), breaded and deep fried… laid out onto a bed of lettuce, topped with brown sauce, and served with fried rice and your choice of egg roll, two veg spring rolls, crab rangoon, or chu chu (I think that’s mirliton but I’m not sure).There was A LOT OF FOOD. They do not skimp on portions. Everything was great, except for the brown sauce. This one had cumin in it (I think it was cumin, it could have been another spice) and it really kind of ruined the flavor for me. I like cumin, but not really with that sauce. My only gripe… everything else was delicious, and next time I go I’ll get something else. I’m definitely going back, even though it is way out of the way for me.I took lots of pictures, check them out. The place is just really nice on the inside… how a Chinese restaurant is supposed to be. Very relaxing. ?“
