Youssof MalJanuary 20, 2016Had the the Bass, Hamachi (yellowtail amberjack), and Mackerel, all decent compared to other places in Boston. Large variety of sharable dishes, can't go wrong with the Beef Short Rib Moo Shu.
Laila BeaJanuary 3, 2015Great atmosphere. Bartenders treat you well. Same DJ both Saturday and Friday but will make you think you think you are experiencing 2 different dj. I love this spot.
Leonardo SoaresMay 25, 2014🔱🔱Empire Is what it's name suggests Power and supremacy in all levels You're the monarch the ruler of the flavors&pleasures. Everything's an amazing experience. Gheny is wonderfull. She's 🔝🔝
Steve MAugust 8, 2014Can't go wrong here. I've done the sushi, lobster rangoons, and dumplings. All have been phenomenal.
Tj FieseOctober 4, 2014The only thing decent here is the Red Dragon sushi roll .. delish. The bartenders are easy on the eye's other than that, the place is a flop.
Benjamin DoyleFebruary 4, 2016You'll spend at least $60/person here, but it is worth it! Excellent literally everything- Lobster Rangoon and Tempura Rock Shrimp Roll are the best! For desert, nothing better than the Chocolate Tart. ;) Check that out!
Jeremy KrantzAugust 28, 2014Their scorpions bowls are big and come served in a hollowed out watermelon. Awesome!
Pauline ShafferJanuary 27, 2013Dear Empire-you were delicious but get real chopsticks! Also, any single serving fried rice dish could easily feed 4 people-be warned.
Sandra YoonAugust 6, 2014If you sit at the sushi bar, the sushi chefs might give you some free sushi like they did for me! :)- Industry Nights on Mondays. $25 all you can eat sushi. Amazing! Great food & really cool atmosphere
- Char CMay 21, 2013$25 AYCE sushi on Monday nights, featuring some pretty sweet special rolls like Rock Roll and Hamachi Tartare!
Jeff NagengastOctober 31, 2012If you like a bit of heat to your cocktail, One Night in Bangkok comes highly recommended! Bring on the Sriracha!
Jeff DruryJanuary 14, 2014Salt and pepper calamari is the star of the show. I'd consider getting it as an entree.
Amanda CAugust 27, 2013All you can eat sushi on Monday isn't the only deal - the $8 hot saki is a must!
E SuligaJune 2, 2013"Sorry chief. If you're wearing a tanktop and a man you won't get in. A woman with a tanktop is fine. "
Abi PanickerJanuary 12, 2015Drinks were good, food was ok, not a bad time, except for that our server never smiled or seemed like she was happy to help, which made it a little uncomfortable, until we had enough alcohol
Spencer SchoebenDecember 4, 2015places that feel like stereotypical clubs tend to be a little icky. at least in Boston
T BAugust 19, 2016Their sushi is terrible; very Americanized. I would say people go there for the club atmosphere and to be seen. Certainly not because they want to eat quality food. Clientele is rude. Too loud & dark.
- Be aware about the dress code, folks. No flip flops, sleeveless t-shirt and hats for the guys. Girls, avoid the athletic wear!
Jenne RaubNovember 18, 2012If you love watching old men flirt with prostitutes, you'll really love Empire.
- Kitchen open untill late, tonight! 1 am. Rangoons are the BEST! ;)
Marina Park Punch does the trick, not all colorful eithereither
Emily BAugust 24, 2014Bad service!! The waitress was rude and ignored our table. The place is really big but was completely empty the night I was there. Lots of old men with young girls. Drinks were good.
Gianna NebbiaOctober 9, 2016Apparently you have to wear dress shoes. No adidas for empire. 👎🏻 real disappointing when all you want is some sushi and a drank

"Improper Bostonian: duck bun, fried pork gyoza, singapore noodles, sushi, bok choy, grilled asparagus, tempura beans & rock shrimp, creme brulee, pineapple bread pudding & tempura bananas"
Michelle C. - 8.6
"Tons of awesome small plates. Tried a bunch, really liked the fried chicken, warm lobster bun, pork bun, crispy rice, avocado, and fried fish."
Rohit Gupta - 8.3
"Yes, it’s a little pricey, & the portions are small/tapas style. Salmon BLT, chicken fried rice, Lima calamari, pork wontons, & wagyu steak (i.e. skewers)= all amazing. Get the Maracuya&Mama Quilla!"
