Adding an additional review because they recently reopened after remodeling with game machines and pool tables as well as a split section for dining and playing games. You can also do karaoke in both sections. Excellent service! Great catching up with Kristy after coming back from my sabbatical. read more

Lunch at Empire Dimsum Kitchen and Bar1. Our first time there. We walked in and there were just a handful of diners which is always a little concerning. As it turned out the food and service were good. We ordered pork dimsum, Chinese brocoli and shrimp and noodle dimsum. It was all very good. The venue is clean and well laid out but it lacks character. With no vibe. read more

Disclosure: I went back in April but hadn't gotten around to posting this review. I wasn't a big fan of the set up in the restaurant, it just feels too open and with the table layout just isn't super aesthetically pleasing for me. It might be a sensory issue for me. They do thankfully have a few booths near their wall so I sat there. They served their combo soup dumplings in these little tins that made it hard to pick up and I really just didn't like the taste of them. I did enjoy their garlic spinach dumplings. read more

Visited while exploring OKC and was delighted by the delicious dim sum! The congee stood out with its rich, flavorful taste. A huge bonus is that they serve dim sum all day long--perfect for any craving at any time! read more

What I like: open concept (when you walk in, you see the whole restaurant) tons of tables for families (variety of small and big tops) food isn't oily or salty Friendly service Variety of dishes. They even have the salted steam buns! Very yummy. And it's better than just the regular egg custard buns The service button on every table!! SOO sooo convenient for fast service. What's needs to be improved: Service is not as attentive when filling up drinks. I feel like w such a big place, there needs to be someone constantly refilling water or having someone be on the floor. It's great that they have a buzzer on the table. We were able to get fast service bc of it! Needs a second cart to run around on the floor. The one cart wasn't doing much and was skipping over too many tables. I think that was my main complaint. I personally like a more traditional dim sum where the carts are constantly cycling through. We had a big table and the cart had skipped us multiple times after. Maybe they thought we were done ordering but we were actually waiting for it to come by. Even after we ask for it to stop by our table, we still got skipped. But all in all, it's still a new restaurant and I'm sure they're still working out the kinks! The service is still very friendly and fast. We didn't have to wait long and they accommodated us with 10 people read more

Surprisingly, I wasn't too crazy about the dim sum here. For example, the rice noodle rolls with beef, the meat was so fatty. And the steamed BBQ pork was so sweet. The shrimp dumpling was my favorite. But I felt like I consumed a lot of soy sauce from this visit. Another thing that made eating here unpleasant was that most of the food was so slippery or they got stuck to the the steamers. The food is delivered fast since half of the menu is on the cart while the other half you can order via Toasttab. I do appreciate that the dim sum is made in-house daily. The staff are friendly, and several came by to check on us multiple times. Their Vietnamese coffee is excellent, I would come back just for that. read more

Amazing service and amazing freshly made to order dim sum! They do offer cart service for steamed items only on Saturday and Sunday. Other days you can order from the QR code located on top of your table and order on your phone as a group or individual. No complaints highly recommend. I will say right now it is by far 1000x better than any other dim sum place here in the city. Just a side note: The person giving negative reviews that didn't even try this place and went to another dim sum location and gave this place two fake reviews under their main account and another one under a fake account is incorrect about payment. You pay AFTER you eat on the app. You have the OPTION to pay before, but any intelligent person can figure this out. read more

I will definitely return to Empire Dimsum. Everything was fantastic on the first visit, the delicious food, the good service, the speediness of the food - a wholesome dimsum experience. For those that read reviews about how this is not traditional dim sum, the bad service, or not getting their food, I certainly did not experience any of these problems. This is possibly because they have improved or addressed these problems. This restaurant serves traditional dim sum with a slight twist. I was a little confused at first but got it in the end. So all the STEAMED dishes are being served via CARTS like traditional dim sum (on the weekends). The catch is the FRIED dishes, BAKED goods, DESSERTS, DRINKS, NOODLES, and VEGETABLE dishes are ORDERED from the kitchen. You order these dishes online as this is the easiest option. You don't have to and could order through one of the servers. The benefit of having an online ordering system is you can order more items anytime or you could close out your tab without going up the counter. It's an excellent and efficient system, which I preferred. Honestly, I loved it. All my food were ordered and made fresh from the kitchen. All of these items were brought out individually by different servers. I love the fact that the servers worked as a team and you'll be served by all of them, not just by one. I was not able to try the steamed dishes served by carts such as pork ribs, steamed buns, chicken feet, and others, hence "I will definitely return." By the way, all my food came out very FAST. There wasn't really any wait. 4/19/24 - Came back and tried shiu mai with shrimp, spare ribs with black bean sauce, and preserved egg and pork congee. Food was again fantastic. Loved everything. Congee was a little bland though. This is go to dim sum in OKC. They forgot my chrysanthemum tea this time. P.S. This restaurant has the worst wifi. Using their wifi for 30 minutes, got interrupted 2 times and disconnected one time. read more

Friendly staff! This has become my favorite dim sum spot in OKC! Delicious and service is quick.

The one star is because I have to and also because it's open late. I ordered through door dash. They're open late, had pho and I was treating myself after a long week. You cannot convince me this isn't from someone's house. My RARE steak was fully cooked. (And over cooked), the noodles were so oil (and it was so little of them). The slice of onion is so thick. I was grateful for the sides of chili oil and fried garlic. I put my bowl together (because I paid for it). And realized the taste is bland. All you can taste is the star anise added to it and cloves. The broth is TOO oily. What's going on with the oil?? I LOVE pho. Eat it often. This is offensive. These are screenshots from my review on door dash. The oil on my hands comes from the noodles. This can't even be salvaged. The price does not match the quality or quantity. This is unacceptable. My tongue is numb and not from the chili oil. If you can't make it, TAKE IT OFF THE MENU. I feel like I was just robbed from my hard earned money and door dash gave me back $8. I paid that in tips. I wouldn't recommend this place to my enemy. Shame. I can't comment on the atmosphere because I wouldn't dare step in there now. My previous pho place was closed and it's further from my new address and I've been looking for a new place. Absolutely not. I'll be reviewing on yelp as well and FB if you're there. read more

I'm not sure what was going on today but they kept messing up our order. We did ordered a lot but there wasn't that many people there for how often they tried to give us something we didn't order. I enjoyed the food but it'll be hard going back because of all the mistakes. read more

Empire dim sum is a new a modern looking restaurant that I find very aesthetically pleasing. The vibes were great with fun music and excellent staff. The food overall was okay. Nothing wowed me out of the 5 dishes I ordered. I believe empire will serve as a serviceable palette cleanser to the mainstay Dimsum locations across Oklahoma read more

Big open space and staff was very friendly. There are also call buttons on the tables for quicker service. We went around 10:30am and there was one cart going around for steamed items but didn't see the fried things going around as much The tripe was delicious, well seasoned and has a nice crunchy texture. The shumai was also a hit. Egg foo young was one of the best my bf's ever had! It was so fresh and tasty. Only complaint I have with what we ordered was the shrimp in the steamed dumpling wasn't as plump and have that bite that I like. It was seasoned well but the texture was different Overall, a great reliable place for dim sum. We will come try other items out for sure read more

Another dim sum place here in OKC!! And they're pretty high tech by ordering from a QR code at the table. Service was quick and good came out quick too! We ordered a whole bunch of dishes and they came out hot! The food runner spoke little English but was very sweet and attentive on refilling our drinks. Everything was good, my only complaint is that the food was mild in flavor/bland. This would probably place second place on my list! read more

Been here quite a few times already. But this last time we came for Saturday dimsum brunch and everything has changed. New staff, still training. The chef/cooks must have changed too. The tripe was cold, asked them to nuke. The shumai was lukewarm. We finished eating and still haven't gotten our shrimp noodle roll yet. Apparently they gave it to a different table. What a mess. I hope they don't become another OKC restaurant starting out strong and then becomes mediocre. We're gonna hold off patronizing till they get things figured out. read more

Finally a dim sum place that is actually flavorful and yummy.. this is my second time here within 3 weeks and I actually love it... the food is really good and the service is awesome.. it could be slow on service on Sundays because they're busier than usual .. this is the place I'll go from now on when I want dim sum in Okc. read more

Nice little hole in the wall dim sum place. We wanted to do dim sum on a Sunday but the usual places were crazy busy. This place has a la carte ordering, so don't expect people going around with items. Still how we the food was great and comparable to the other popular spots. This is a good choice if you want to get away from the rush and still have good dim sum. read more

Highly recommend for dim sum lovers. Quality is better than any dim sum Restuarant in Okc in my opinion. However, the selection was not as extensive but the quality is noticeable. Service was great with a QR code to order special items and a table bell to ring your server. The dumpling wrapper is thinner and seafood taste fresher than the other dim sum spots in okc (which me and my wife prefer). The chicken feet, although a little on the sweeter side, had a very tasty five spice taste. Chinese broccoli was flavorful, note that just the dark leafy parts of the vegetable is served. Don't expect the to see the crunchy stems in traditional dim sum places. I will definitely be coming back! Wish I could share more photos but I was too busy eating! read more

So I've lived in the city a long time and used to go get dim sum at grand house 20 plus years ago when they were the only place that offered dim sum. A few other places have open and closed over the years but all are about the same as grand house just okay at best. Now we have a real fresh dim sum place to eat at. Everything I tried was freshly made and not hard or sat for hours before it came to my table. I asked if they will offer soup dumplings later and they said yes. I will be back and glad that I don't have to dive to Tulsa for Mr. Kim dim sum when I crave small plate food. read more

Terrible experience here. We walked in unsure if they were open. There was about 5 people standing up front and didn't say a word or greet us. We were seated and told to scan the code for food. The food was mediocre. There is no cart like a typical dim sum place. The crispy shrimp tasted bland and the outside wasn't even cooked. Tasted like raw noodles. Everything was very oily. We didn't even get refills on our water's. Was disappointed in this place. We had high hopes since there were so many good reviews. read more

Empire Dimsum was delicious. I was impressed by the freshness of all their dishes. I didn't take pictures of everything because my table ate the items so quickly. We went on a Saturday when they push the carts. All the employees were friendly and worked hard to accommodate our needs. I liked how bright and clean the new space was. I heard they will expand their menu when the time comes. I am excited to try more dishes! read more

The Dim Sum here is pretty good, even though we did not come at the optimal time - late Saturday. There was no cart service (only daytime weekends). There were not many customers in the restaurant, which I'm sure helped us get extra attention. There was always someone coming by asking if we needed help. You scan the table QR code and order via website or app. It's a pretty cool system and worked well. Each person in your party can order individually if they want and view what others have ordered. They have a call button at the table for help too. They have quite a large selection of Dim Sum as well as other dishes and Hotpot. We ordered nine Dim Sum, which was more than the two of us could consume. The steamed dishes appeared to be made way in advance (like that morning), but still good; Served hot, but not overcooked. I was pleasantly surprised at the quality. I'm from Southern California and while the Dim Sum is not as good as some of the better restaurants there, in my opinion it's still quite good. In many ways, I'd rather come here. The price, service and convenience is superior. Typically, you don't get anything resembling good service at a Dim Sum place back home. It's always a hassle with long waits and crowds inside and out. Parking is always a pain. Add to that, it's way more expensive and portions smaller. As an example, one of my favorite dishes is the stuffed bell pepper; the portion was literally four times the size the last time I got it at a good place in Irvine. That's if it's even available. Many times, it's not. And it was good too. The Bean Curd likewise was probably twice or thrice as large here. It was probably as good as the last time I had it back home. Overall, I was really impressed with Empire. My son thought it was good too. I don't know; maybe we just came at a good time. I want to come back and try some of the many other dishes. Not just Dim Sum, but stir fry as well. All things considered, this is a great place. read more

Really good! Large variety to choose from and all the food we picked were delicious.

It's so nice to have another dim sum restaurant in Oklahoma City. I love that. They are also open weekday mornings for breakfast. I had two different kinds of dumpling and a sticky bun. Also had the sautéed bok choy, which was excellent with a light sweet soy sauce. read more

Great food and friendly service. They serve dim sum well into the evening which is a new thing for the city.

The food was just OK - menu doesn't list ingredients of each menu item so it's difficult to know what to order. They should consider providing a proper menu. read more

The food is okay. I like shrimp eggroll but I don't like sauce. I order sweet soy sauce for dipping but it is not sweet. I like a qr code to order than Dimsum cart that the worker can't write or sign what name of dumplings or food.

We tried it today and truly had the worst experience we've had in the Asian district. I think it's important for people to know this is not Dim Sum. No one is moving through the dining room with food. You plus three-order and pre-pay for all food on your own phone app. We did that. 30min later we had no food. No one had come by with water refills or any help. I went to the counter and was ignored until I worked to get the server's attention. Everyone seemed confused and said we hadn't ordered. Then when my husband showed the charge they said they couldn't explain why the kitchen didn't receive it. No one apologized or accepted responsibility. There is no way to requesty a refund on their app, so all we have is a promise that we will be reimbursed. That is essentially theft. All of this while our toddler was hungry. It's not a good business model and I hope we aren't stuck with this bad customer service long. read more
