When you first sit down, they bring out complimentary dumplings with a trio of sauces. We got the salt and pepper squid which were nice thick pieces of squid. The shrimp toast was pretty tasty. Nice crisp and stuffing. The steamed sticky rice in a lotus leaf was HUGE. That in itself could be a meal and the meats inside were a good hearty size not all chopped up. The shrimp toast and the squid come on top of greens which I didn't really like as they wilt with the heat of the items. The service was great! Our server was friendly, welcoming, and quick. The bathroom was quite pretty with the detailing on the doors and the dragon water sprout.

I remember when this place used to be called Christine's Empress of China. I believe Christine was…read morethe owner back then, and now it's simply Empress of China. The name may have shortened, but the experience is still just as memorable. From the outside, you're not really sure what you're about to walk into. You get a hint of the Asian aesthetic, but you don't realize how immersive it's going to feel. Then you open the door. Right at the entrance is a koi fish pond with a small bridge over it. No, you can't walk across the bridge, but the koi are real, and you walk right by them on your way to the dining room. It immediately sets the tone. The dining room itself feels like you've stepped straight into China. The decor, the lighting, the details, everything transports you. It matches the cuisine and elevates the entire dining experience. The waitresses are incredibly sweet, respectful, patient, and kind. They answered all of my questions about the menu without hesitation and made sure we felt comfortable. The service feels authentic and attentive without being rushed. I ordered the boneless chicken with vegetables, fried rice, and egg rolls. The homemade egg rolls are always my favorite. You can absolutely tell they're hand rolled and not pulled from a freezer. The boneless chicken is made with hand cut chicken breast, and the batter is soft and flaky. It almost melts in your mouth. Everything tastes fresh and thoughtfully prepared. The portion sizes are generous. It's definitely a eat now, eat later, and maybe even share with a friend kind of place. If you've only ever ordered takeout from here, you are missing half the experience. Sit down inside and take it all in. It's one thing to eat Chinese food. It's another thing to feel like you've been transported while doing it. This place leaves an impression.

In terms off atmosphere, this restaurant is by the heart of the French quarter and filled with a cozy interior. The servers were quick and gave helpful recommendations. We ordered the xiaolongbao and the chicken eggplant. Both were pretty tasty. The chicken and eggplant were tender, sweet and flavorful. Overall, I preferred the xialongbao since you could tell they were freshly made and steamy hot. The xiaolongbao are always favorites of mine. The food hit the spot for a Chinese food craving, but the prices were a bit high in my mind for food. Still hits the spot though!

I recently had dinner there. The employees were super friendly and seated us right away. I ordered the crab rangoons, general tso chicken, and shrimp fried rice. The crab rangoons do not lack filling! While the flavor is fine, I do wish the filling was a tad sweeter. The general tso chicken was as expected. I prefer mine a bit spicier but that didn't detract from overall flavor. The shrimp fried rice was a little bland. It definitely required soy sauce! The interior is quintessential OG Chinese restaurant. A bit rustic and dim. Beautiful and spacious.

The waiter came and took our order and the food came out quickly. There's a lunch special between 1-4pm, so we opted to try the beef cubes, fried chicken, fish, and kung pao chicken. It also comes with a gigantic egg roll filled with meat and veggies, a bowl of egg drop soup, and fried rice. It's a huge dish for a lunch special plate. Everything was delicious, but the kung pao dish and egg rolls didn't taste as authentic. We enjoyed our meal here and would come back and try different dishes next time.

It took a while for our servers to find us and when our orders were put in it took over an hour to deliver two dishes. We had to remind them and ask them multiple times when our meal would come. We were met with the response that the large event would take priority over our meals. This wasn't my fav response because it just seemed that if you have an event going on, there would be other staff to take care of their food. The wait time was really disappointing. The black pepper tofu was quite good and the lemongrass tofu was decent but would prob not get it again.
