I usually appreciate it when food is truly authentic, but this was “too authentic” for me. I couldn’t really finish my meal as the flavors weren’t for me. However, if you want to experience real China in San Francisco, you must come here!

Terry Chan

Empero Taste in San Francisco is a great spot for tasty Chinese food, with plenty of dishes that hit the mark. Salt and Pepper Pork Chops, Honey Walnut Prawns, Lobster Noodle, Fried Calamari/Crabs, and French Style Pork Spareribs are all favorites, packed with flavor and cooked just right.
Overall, Empero Taste is a solid option for a delicious, satisfying meal, as long as you skip the flounder, it might not be the best pick if you’re looking for a consistently great meal.

This is a favorite location for seniors nearby especially if you like inexpensive price and large portions according to my auntie’s. It is basically comfort food. If you order family style, it comes with their house soup. We ordered, string beef with beef,salt and pepper pork chop, sweet sauce fried chicken (Omg. Delicious), tofu with beef and clay pot dish with eggplant. Everything was good but my favorite was the sweet sauce fried chicken. Would I come back? Definitely. It also got mom’s stamp of approval..
