This joint is situated just on the opposite foot of the famous Beijing restaurant of China Town. I must say this restaurant is highly underrated compared to the great food they serve with minimal price. This is my favourite joint to visit in China Town and have been here ample times. They have a separate family dinning space which is always decorated with balloons and dim lights. One can enjoy a good couple of hours with friends or family here without even going too hard on your wallet.
The place nice... We were a group of 7 people and they did a very good service... Food was good too... But they did not had a music system as a background music... The price was really pocket friendly... We expected a rate but the bill was really low as per our expectations (including drinks)... Really liked it... Would visit again...
Nice place... Healthy ambience... pocket friendly...
Nice place for family, friends... food taste also good... food quantity and quality also good...
This is an old restaurant situated in China town, Tangra. Price is reasonable and the quality of food is also good. You can visit the place with your friends.
Nice place away from the daily cacophony,back to nostalgic Dining !
Food is really good
Must visit for those who want calm ambience with pocket friendly tasty food!
Went in on the occasion of my mum's birthday today and I am really very impressed with this place.
Located just opposite Beijing, this is a very cozy and comfortable place with courteous staff and zero noise. And as for the food, I loved all of them!
We ordered a host of starters that included Mongolian chicken, chilli garlic pepper chicken, fried cruncy chicken, schezwan fish dry and some more. As for the main course we went with both noodles and rice along with Empire Chicken.
Each and every dish was well cooked and sesoned and quite light. The waiting time for food wasn't rushed which led us to enjoy our dinner nicely.
The ambience was also soothing which was an added plus.
Lastly, the prices are quite pocket friendly and nothing too over the top.
The perfect place for a quick grab. The food is good and goes easy on your pocket. The staffs are courteous and polite. Overall a nice experience.
Situated absolutely in the heart of China Town and the interior is good too.

Loved their Rice Noodles and Garlic Chicken !! It was really tasty. So guys hurry up and head to This amazing resturant to try Out their amazing dishes.
The restaurant is located right opposite to the famous restaurant in China Town, Beijing.
Golden Empire has a vast area allotted to the restaurant, yet the footfall in very low. We had walked in for lunch around 1 pm and all the while we dined there, the restaurant remained empty. The roomy interior seemed like a deserted joint.
Now, coming to the food, the quality, as well as the quantity, was good and we enjoyed our meals, but due to lack of customers, we were apprehensive about the food's freshness.
However, you want ample food, which is tasty yet reasonable, then this is the right place in China Town.

Me and my friend went to this place on saturday and it is a good place. We took chicken 65, one chicken tomato thick soup, beer and bacardi nib. Well the food quality is good and the service is ok as well but the place is empty and don't know why. Though one thing I noticed that if you pay by card then you have to go downstairs with your card for payment which is a hectic part.
This food joint is good. The quantity given in this restaurant is very good. Szechuan chicken is always on point.
Staffs are always active and helpful.
Ambiance is so so but this restaurant is always there for foodies who loves to got lightly on there wallet but enjoy a good meal.
Good food! Staffs are well trained and has the ability to suggest what you should go for (in case u have decided not to explore further).
Large seating arrangements and too many people around makes it little uncomfortable for smaller groups or it's just 2 of you.
Going back to the food - menu is packed with delicious options and they do serve all of them.. which means options don't just exist in menu but living in the kitchen too ! 🍜🥂🍽

Very old authentic restaurant with typical chinese interiors.!! Once inside you'll realise the restaurant is quite big with an extensive seating capacity.!! Food quality is one of the best I've ever tasted.!!

Located in tangra's golden enclosure,or in other words The China Town area, is a Bar cum Restuarant serving both chinese and Indian delicacies hand in hand;
Nothing much about the decor, themed in chinese style, with lanterns at places, not heavily crowded for quite a hefty sitting enclosure, for tables are there for both small and large groups; Service is pretty decent, or to some extent thoroughly unprofessional; manager is co operative and friendly , food quality is upto the mark;
I,on my part went there during the durga puja with my friends; although a dry day , but the manager and security guard saved the day for us! We ordered for mixed fried rice 4plates and chili chicken and a pint of alcoholic beverage; the main problem occurred when suddenly the waiter served us another rice plate which led to a chaos ; they serviced the wrong table and then they are asking to pay for their ill management; utter displeasure on our part ; anyways the mixed rice was properly cooked so as the tender chicken pieces;
Improvements required in servicing and customer management !!!!
superbbbbb..... food ,
though spicy , but tooo tasty .
i just loved it
dim light , silent place , a perfect ambiance for a date
good food, good service.
hoping to visit soon
again :)
This place is really good and you can trust on them.
A food named "chicken 65 dry" was famous here.Over the years,the dish lost its charm here.I requested them to bring back that taste,but they failed.Still they used to satisfy me with all the other items they have.recently they have changed their menu.
A must try here is Tuban Chicken and Empire Prawn.The latter is not mentioned in the new menu but this is a trademark dish here.Special mention required for the pocket friendly Prawn Papads here.
Nice 2 floored A.C Dining space.Good service.
Opposite to Beijing at Tangra.Outer look wont satisfy you but this is a must try at China Town.
Am an experienced Public.Trust me.
This restaurant has true athentic Chinese food... Tried their Crispy Chicken, Fried Fish and Chilli Garlic Pepper Fish as starter.. It was delicious... For mains had Chicken Fried Rice and Empire Chicken.... Definitely try these when you visit.... Service and ambience is good... Definitely will visit again...
It's a nice and decent place if you are looking for cheap alcohol along with some lip smacking accompaniments. We ordered Chilli Chicken Dry, Chicken Wonton and Drums of Heaven and all of them were exceptionally good in taste.
Awesome food.. good service... the decoration isn't that good, the table cloth was torn.. despite all these, my taste bud was extremely satisfied. We ordered a chicken thai soup, tempura chicken, chilli garlic pepper fish, mixed haka noodles and fresh lime soda. All the dishes were stupendous.loved it. Would like to visit again.

You love this place because of it's unique decoration. Quality and quantity of food is also very good. It's a very cozy place for a outing and also very cheap. So if you have money crunch but still you want to eat something really good, then you can easily visit this place once.
Went here for a Sunday lunch, surprisingly it was empty. It is located bang opposite of Beijing and has separate portion for family part and bar. We were on a budget hence tried this restaurant. I found it very reasonable and good, the menu included everything all the nearby restaurants have. The taste was unexpectedly very good at this place. We started wit Hunan chicken(dry), crunchy chicken, then for mains schezwan fried rice and garlic fish.
Well the schezwan rice was one of its kind as I never had this anywhere before, neither did it taste like the usual one but whatever it was, tasted really good and was fulfilling two plates were plenty for three of us. All the starters and garlic fish tasted nice and exceeded our expectations from a place like that.
For seeing more customers and a good crowd they should renovate the place soon and revise their menu of food and beverage.
Visited the place yesterday.. ambience was good.. not like Beijing or big boss but the outlet was quite reasonable if compared to other eminent restaurant of Tangra.. i loved the food... specially the starters.. would recommend crispy chicken and Hunan dry chicken.. empire fish was also nice which they recommended as their special dish.. overall the experience was very good.
Went there with family, had a wonderful experience !! Must try out there signature dish "EMPIRE Chicken" !! Tossed in sauce ( their homemade combination )!! You will definitely order for another portion .. I bet !!!
Also must appreciate their Shanghai Chicken preparation !!
The place is a warm and cossy place.
The ambience is very good.
The quantity of the food is just awsome (just like other places in china town).
Situated just opposite Bejing.
The best thing about the place is one of the very few resturants in china town which serves mutton.
Most of the starters are 10-12 pieces and pepper fried chicken is a must try.
Go there. Order the dragon noodles/rice and empire chicken. Then eat and leave. One of a kind dishes those two. The rest are not upto the mark.
A great place to hang out wid ure loved ones...! Located JUST OPPOSITE to renowned BEIJING restaurant..! Umm.. Great decor.. Wid impressive lighting..! Food quality is quite nice.. N quantity is great as well... A perfect place to walk in to try some great Chinese delicacies at a low cost...
PERSONAL FAVORITE: Scheswan Chicken

Just opposite to Beijing Restaurant this place is small compared to the competitor just on the other side of the road. Simply lit with heavy Chinese Saucy aroma, this place serves good food. And cheap drinks!

This restaurant is located bang opposite Beijing Restaurant and is a five minute drive away from science city. The two storeyed restaurant has dark interiors , with a lot of Chinese lamps hanging from the ceiling. The service was not bad , though we were the only ones occupying the second floor , the rest of the tables being empty . The fried chicken drumsticks tasted good for starters . So did the fried schezuan chicken. The Chinese chopsuey we ordered had enough for three people to share. Its gravy had a white sauce base, unlike the American chopsuey which had e red sauce base . The Shanghai chicken tasted great ,with pieces of shredded chicken in a spicy red sauce base. The food here is average but the ambiance is cosy for dining out with friends and family.
This restaurant is one of the ill maintained of the lot. Has separate seating for stags and families. It's gloomy inside because of the dull lighting. The table cloths are worn out which gives it the dull look.
Else, the food was up to the mark especially the Hunan Chicken, Chilly Chicken, the Mixed Fried Rice.

We had 1 starter, 1 soup, 1 mixed fried rice, one chicken item as side dish. From top to end costed 730/- including tax. So it's really pocket friendly and good quality restaurant. Not well decorated. But food was really superb in taste. Loved it.
Food quality not so good.
Ambiance is pretty impressive.
It's ok to go with friends.
Its better not to go with family and children.
Beware of the billing it's just because u drink they can charge u double for the same food.
A good place for lunch/dinner..i have been here only once but i do like the place. I would like to visit again..ambience is good..food quality was awesome.
This is a very nice place to go with family...the starters, the soup, the main course r complementary to each other.. I always have sweetcorn soup as I love it's taste. I have visited this place many a times with family. The drums of heaven is also very tasty. I also has mushroom which was really very good..this place is all time favourite for me.

Golden empire is located just opposite to the Beijing restaurant. Parking is limited - no dedicated parking place so if its already full you might have to look for other options. A complete non smoking area, most of the stuffs are chinese. We tried crispy shredded chicken, peanut masala and To-bao fish. The chicken was very spicy and taste was nice, excellent use of barbeque sauce added the value inside it. But the fish was impeccable - the taste is somehow similar to the garlic fish that most of us are used to with, however some special touch made this dish more delicious. The prices of the items are fair enough and unlike other china town places, they dont have the segregation of half and full plates. Price of the drinks are within budget, they serve bottles at tables as well. Staffs are very well behaved and always just a call away.
I visited the place with my friends for dinner. We spent a lovely time there. The foods were really yummy and spicy. The service was good but the last order was served really late.
Overall the experience was good and price was also in the budget.
How can I forgot to review it... it was the place where we usually used to go during the puja times long years back...
The ambience was pretty cool there in comparison with other options available in the area...
Service was very good... so as the staffs are...
Our main issue of visiting the place was to have drink till losing our memories... and our favorite side was the prawn chips and dry chilli chicken...
But we had there mixed rice, mixed noodle, garlic chicken and Hong Kong chicken also... and all are very good both in quality and quantity...
Pocket pinch was quite reasonable...
had been there twice,for the very first time as we ventured there we had to spare 10mins for someone to treat us.the 1st floor's more decorated as compare to the ground one.foods're served in plates without cleaning it for that time though they served good quality Chinese with sufficient quantity.we got more hospitality next time.
We had hard drinks along with some beers and some tasty starters. In starter we had Mongolian Chicken and Chili Garlic Pepper Chicken. Both were really tasty. U cant smoke inside but you have a space to smoke outside the dining room. Now coming to price range i will mark it as average. Food quality is good. Service is also good. U have a parking option too. Interior ambiance was OK. All total Its a good restaurant that comes under your budget. Sourish Banerjee
'Golden Empire' is located at Matheswartala Road near Tangra,China Town.It is just situated opposite of Beijing Restaurant.Ambience is medium,Few seating arrangements are here.I'd visited here with my friends from few days ago.Atfirst we ordered here Chilli Garlic Pepper Chicken,Chicken Drumstick with Hong Kong Style & Crispy Chicken as a starters.Chilli Garlic Pepper Chicken is very tasty,It is little crunchy,cooked with Fried onion & fried green chilli.Chicken Drumstick with Hong Kong Style is also tasty,It is fully marinated with sauce,so it is very spicy & little sour. Crispy Chicken is not so tasty,it is very sweet.In the main course we ordered Chicken Hakka Noodles,Mixed Fried Rice & Hunan Chicken.Chicken Hakka Noodles is delicious,Mixed Fried Rice & Hunan Chicken is also tasty.Food quantity is very good.Food service is little late.Price is also reasonable.
Chinatown is definitely the destination for authentic Chinese cuisine. :) Paired up with booze and smoke, love to spend time here with friends. One of our favorite places here is Golden Empire. Love the Cantonese Chow and the chili mushroom. Also love the authentic Chinese type environment.
Customer-friendly. Check. Food quality. Check. Location. Check. Ambiance. Check. Affordable. Check. This is a perfect combination for a restaurant. Agreed that the location is a bit problem but restaurants like these can only be found in tangra. A bit of improvement in food will make it myy favourite.
Good quantity of food and cheap liquor is the main attraction. Large spacious family room. Bachelors room is also ample. An additional small room for office or private parties.
No of staff is not adequate if its a full house and you have to wait long for food orders to arrive at your table. Ambience is a bit dull.
Great place, nice ambience, the food is also well & good & a plate chilli garlic chicken with a mug of chilled beer is exactly what you need to increase your appetite.
I will give this an OK rating. Starters were nice and the main course just apt. We do have better tasting Chinese food in Kolkata nowadays. The upkeep needs to be improved as it has to compete against the mighty Beijing restaurant bang opposite to it.
Situated just opposite more famous Beijing Restaurant, Golden Empire is a good bar cum Chinese family restaurant..... The ambience is very good and the restaurant has enough space and comfortable seating arrangements.... Food quality is good too.....
This place i visited with my friends only for the sole purpose of having booze, to our surprise the food served was good enough. The booze comes really cheap at this place as compared to the other competitors in the locality. We ordered for Dragon Rice and mixed fried rice along with szechuan chicken, empire chicken and sweet and sour. Though i preferred the szechuan and all the chicken dishes comes with 12 pieces. The attendants are not at all interested about the customers they are busy with their own work, for four people it cost us about 950 bucks along with the booze. It's quite feasible.
I must say its a place that can be visited once or twice only for the good food and the drinks, with less cash in the pocket these place is worth a visit.

Located strategically at the heart of Chinatown opposite one of the famous restaurants of the locality still this restaurant doesn't gets required attention among food lovers.
In starters we ordered Chilli Bagda Prawn and Chilli Garlic Pepper Chicken. Prawn dish had 8 pieces for a full portion while the chicken dish had 10 pieces. Both of them were mind blowing but lack of half plate concept and quantity in a full portion is a concern compared to other restaurants here.
In main course we selected Dragon Rice, Szechuan Chicken Fried Rice, Empire Fish and Hong Kong Chicken. Both the rice dishes were unique to itself. Dragon Rice had gravy topping while Szechuan Chicken Fried Rice had topping of crispy saucy shredded chicken. Empire Fish had fillets of fresh bhetki in a mild sauce bursting with flavours while Hong Kong Chicken was on spicy and tangy side. Must try them all and won't be disappointed.
From critic angle the reason of being not so popular is because of its lazy staff who prefers to sit at a corner and chit chat even if new guests enter, eagerness to serve water on table, price on higher side but ambiance and service is inconsistent. Way to family section at first floor is not so clean either. If paying by card then have to come down to pay though they have wireless card machine. Total cost was INR 1712 inclusive all. Will still give it a go from taste stand point and few dishes stand apart.
Went to golden empire yesterday for lunch with my friends... Ambiance was good... But service was not good at all... All the staffs were busy in their own gossip.... Food was really very tasty... Quantity was also very good...
We ordered beer.. Breezer and bbq chicken first...
Then for main course we had mixed fried rice.. Chicken empire and Thai fish... And for dessert chocolate ice-cream..
I found Thai fish very tasty... Nice place to go with friends...
it was my momz bday...and i celebrated it very well...meals were awesome....and over all a cost effective place.....but there should be the menu of pork.....we had empire which was da best and awesome....dan v had hong kong chicken chickn hakka,fried rice and prawn....i loved da soup....but da baby corn was nt dat tasty.....but it will be a visit again.....
On a budget? This restaurant will surely look after your wallet. But compared to price food is really grand. No compromise on this end.
Have a few drinks with your dishes, and try the Chow mine; and this place will be on your "Visit Again" List.
Tangra is always known for it great, inexpensive chinese food and this place is no exception. It has the vintage, typical Chinese restaurant vibe. Staff is friendly and pocket pinch is super affordable. Great place to eat at. Special mention for veg Tom yum clear soup, so flavourful. The roads inside Tangra are clumsy, sometimes dirty but restaurant is absolutely clean

Located just opposite to Beijing in China Town if you're little low on budget and can't afford Beijing's high prices for the time being then you can consider Golden Empire. But point is, should you?
Just like most of the places in China Town they also have a huge dining upstairs and the ambiance is quite simple but feels good. This big place had only 2 staffs but surprisingly they were very quick.
Their alcohol menu is quite long but 90% weren't present. Thank God I got my favourite pint Bira White. Prices are bit high for alcohol.
We took their suggestion and ordered their speciality dishes...
Red Pepper Fish @ Rs.290 (4/5)
Fried Prawn Chips @ Rs.170 (3/5)
Drumstick in Hong Kong Style @ 260 (5/5)
Chilli Garlic Pepper Shrimps @ Rs.320 (3/5)
Chicken Hakka Chowmin @ Rs.170 (3/5)
Fish to prawn to chicken starter items were good but quantity for prawn and shrimps were quite low as per China Town restaurant standard. Drumstick in Hong Kong Style and Red Pepper Fish are must try. In mains just took plain Hakka Noodles that tasted okay.
Overall nice experience but they don't offer luxury as some big brands in China Town like Beijing or Big Boss. Per person cost including alcohol is around Rs.800.
We visited Golden Empire, after a friend suggested us. We were pretty surprised by the quality/quantity to price ratio. Amazing. We ordered Chicken Wonton, Golden Fried Prawn, Empire Chicken, Cantonese Mixed Noodles, Mixed Rice. All for 1500. The taste of each and every item were truly amazing! Recommended
Good place for budget friendly Chinese foods. Food taste is good. Cost is ok. Clean and hygien is good. Nice Ambiance. Good location. Must try Hongkong style drumstick. Soft and hard both drinks available and also bottle available in table. Standard cost.

Good place, food is tasty.
Really a nice place... Foods are too tasty nd staffs are too polite
Awesome food with budget price. Good place for family and friend.
Very nice and beautiful.. But I want home Delevry if available please inform me
I visit once in every month. My favorite dish - Toban Fish.
Very Reasonable rates... Taste of food items are pretty good... Alcohol rates are also reasonable... They need to improve the interiors and F&B service team... The service team is good, just needs to improve their hospitality skills. I went their twice with friends and had a great time. Good food at a reasonable price above all they are generous on the quantity.
The accent theme will give a Chinese place vibe, they specialise in Chinese food and have a lot of variety in Chinese food. Affordable and nice.
