Reviews
We went here for dinner on Christmas Eve and everything was fantastic. I had the crispy fried tofu and it was one of the best tofu dishes I've ever had. The tofu almost melts in your mouth after you bite into it. We also had tea and rice and broccoli. Service was very good. The restaurant is casual and the prices are good. Recommend!
Federal Blvd is home to a host of great, local Asian restaurants, especially dim sum. If you're in the mood for dim sum, check out Empress! The service is quick, food is fresh, and prices are reasonable. Some of my favorites include: pork shumai, steamed bbq buns, any of the shrimp dumplings, shrimp rolled noodle, turnip cakes, and sticky rice. Some dumplings they'll even fry up right in front of you! Dim sum and a show? There's nothing better.
First time coming here and I was impressed with how big this restaurant is. There's no shortage of seatings and great for big groups. Overall, the food was pretty good and the service was excellent!
Came in to this location twice on a one week vacation to the area. The food was so good and fresh! The service was great and the location was great with their own parking lot. I felt like I would be happy to come back. I did feel terrible as half my daughter's rice ended up under her chair but the team was so kind and helped clean.
4.5 stars! We travel over 25 min for dim sum at Empress. We've only gotten dishes from the dim sum carts, so this review is specifically about that. Dishes I won't list all the dishes we got because the beauty of dim sum is the extremely wide variety of things you can eat in one sitting. All the standard dim sum fare is great - shumai, bbq pork buns, har gow, radish cake, etc. I have to give a specific shoutout to their stir fried rice noodle rolls - wow they make it so delicious, cooked perfectly, and not too salty. Service Almost all of our interactions were very pleasant. Carts started rolling by within minutes of sitting down and they were great at offering recommendations to get us started. This is super helpful for folks not familiar with the offerings. I have to knock down to 4.5 because the service can be a bit persistent at times. We need to repeat ourselves that we don't want a dish, sometimes more than 2 times before they move on. Space The restaurant has so much space. Despite dining at lunch on a weekend, there was lots of space not just for seating (we had no wait), but for the carts to move around without interfering with our space.
