The Empress Seafood Restaurant

Wanted to try something new with my family and we came here. Its beautiful inside and they were very quick to get you seated. They had a lot of options to choose from. Food was very good and left me satisfied and full for the rest of the day. Definitely will be coming back!

AMAZING FOOD AND STAFF!!! Our party arrived at 9:30am and were the first guests to arrive for the new year. The place really gets hopping around 11am. We were immediately tended to and surrounded by staff offering a variety of dim sum options from their carts. The staff is very attentive and treat you like family not just a customer. I can’t say enough about the variety of dim sum options. Everything we ordered from the siu mai to the roast duck was delicious. Will 100% return!!

I was craving beef chow fun—I ordered the beef and vege chow fun from Empress on DoorDash What arrived was quite clearly a soup and doesn’t match the pictures at all (pictured). Confused, I called and was told all the “chow fun” dishes on the menu (there are several) are like this— they’re actually soups with rice noodles. If you want actual chow fun you have to order the “beef flat rice noodles”. Super confused and disappointed. I asked them to check and change the photos on doordash. posting so others are aware. Other dim sum items were fine- a bit soggy but pretty much expected for delivered steamed food.

This is an amazing, no frills, restuarant serving authentic dim sum at extremely affordable prices. Most options are around $5 per serving, which is great if you're going by yourself or with a group. I regret not being able to go during push cart service time. That would have completed the experience. I ordered steam BBQ pork bun, pork shumai, shrimp and chive dim sum, and shrimp steamed rice roll. My favorite of the 4 I got - was the pork shumai. It was perfectly seasoned and had a nice bounce to it. If you want to elevate your experience- add some of the chili oil to your dim sum.

The Empress is great! I love the food — it’s always consistent, delicious, and the spacing between tables is perfect, especially with the food carts moving around. However, the service can be a bit hit or miss. The hostess, in particular, can be frustrating when they’re busy. I understand they have a lot going on, but there have been times we’ve left feeling like we didn’t want to come back because of the way we were treated. Because of this, I’m giving it 4 stars — the food truly deserves 5, but the service brings the experience down a bit. That said, I’ll still come back and would recommend it to others. Just go for the great food and don’t expect superstar service every time.
