Empero Taste

"This place is fantastic! The portions are large for a reasonable price, the noodles and mapo tofu are delicious, and the service is great."

"Best Cantonese food in San Francisco. You absolutely cannot go wrong with this place! The service is quick, the food comes out fast, and it’s very budget friendly. The restaurant is very oriented towards large groups, and on busy nights they will swap the tables from 4-seaters to 8+ large round tables. The food is always fantastic and delicious and the portion sizes are very large, so be prepared to take leftovers home. When I come with small groups, we always get free soup and orange for dessert! This place is the best :)"

"Cantonese restaurant that is especially suitable for large groups. The dining room is very loud due to the relatively low ceiling and lots of hard services. Service is friendly and efficient. The food quality is outstanding with the dishes coming out immediately after preparation. Standout dishes are the clams with black bean sauce that has very large clams and the lobster over noodles where the lobster sauce on the noodles is delicious. Some of the set menus have too many deep fried dishes for my taste."

"We were invited for lunch and was pleased with most if not all of the dishes. (Date of visit : January 19th 2023). Ambience was okay, decent decor, seating was a bit cozy with other guests next to ours. Overal environment is 8/10. Food quality 9/10 Food quantity 9/10 Repeatable 8/10 or 9/10 if within 20 mins drive Service 8/10 Location 9/10"

"Indoor dining is back (since June 15, 2021) at Empero Taste. I remember the crazy crowd for take out on Mother's Day back in May. The kitchen was backed up for two hours. Needless to say, I'm excited they are opened for indoor dining again. It has been too long since I ate here in person. Be sure to have your vaccine card as they do check. I really like their food here. The wait times are longer now because 1/2 of their orders are to-go orders and the waitresses are split helping them and guests eating here. The salt and pepper crab is the same as I remembered. It was deep fried with that salty pepper taste with a sprinkle of green onions and peppers. The crispy tomato beef HK noodles were gigantic. I swear you get more food in person than in the to-go containers. Great job the staff Empero Taste. I missed you guys."
