Best Chinese food around compared to the south shore. Moved here a couple years ago and we've been having trouble finding a place that can compete with the south shore and this one is it! The only downside is it's a little pricier than I'd like.

Pretty tasty We stopped to grab food and enjoyed the quality and taste of food. We grabbed the beef fried rice and egg rolls, so pretty basic. The taste was good overall Will be back If you are looking for good dishes would recommend

I had to do a lot of searches on Yelp before finally choosing this establishment. Granted I was searching both sides of Lake Pontchartrain because all of the old places I used to know didn't come back after Katrina. I was looking for specific dish, namely Mandarin Chicken. You local folks may not realize this but Mandarin Chicken is exclusive to the New Orleans area. I have lived in a lot of states, including some with high Asian populations, and I have never been able to find this dish anywhere except here in Southern Louisiana. I found a photo of it on Northshore Empress's Yelp listing and identified it as what I was seeking. Both the outside and inside of the building looked new and upscale. Inside the dining room is furnished very nicely. I ordered the Mandarin Chicken and was glad I did. It was exactly as I remembered it from 30 years ago when I lived here for two plus decades. Exquisitely fried white meat chicken in a brown gravy served over a bed of lettuce with a crushed peanut topping. It was my first Chinese food meal back in the day and got me hooked on Chinese food forever. Today's meal fulfilled my memories and taste buds to the maximum. I almost couldn't stop eating the huge oversized portion. I'll probably eat my leftovers for dinner tonight. Thank You Northshore Empress for satisfying one of my life long cravings. The service today was superb. Timely server attention with humorous anecdotes made for a great lunch.
