At Empero Taste, one comes for the food (quality and quantity). It is best to come dine as a group to enjoy a more varied selection of dishes. There is a special set menu that can be customized to suit party size and add-on’s. One can see families with multi-generations enjoying dinners at a table-family style. Among notable dishes, Live fish is a specialty that can be enjoyed 3 ways. The pork chops are a hit (the portion is huge).

Crispy Fried Chicken is consistently excellent! Salt & Pepper Pork Ribs are very good as well.
