It was between this or star kitchen. Been to star and wanted to try this place. Friendly service, food is decent but maybe because we went there later than dim sum rush so some
Of the dim sum l were kind of old. Lobster noodle was just okay, it’s still lobster but the seasoning and flavor didn’t highlight the dish.

The best dim sum experience I've ever had. The food was wonderful, especially the steam bbq pork buns, but the staff really made the experience. I have visited other dim sum restaurants and I can say the Empress staff is wonderful, attentive and always takes the time to explain the dish. The pricing is also great! We spent $60 for 2 people and we added duck and the house soup! It was great and I can't wait to return.

The Empress has been a reliable Cantonese restaurant for a few decades now, even through ownership changes. The large banquet room creates a nice bustling atmosphere, especially on the weekends when dim sum is served on cart. To be honest the dim sum is just ok, but for many Denver Chinese, it’s nostalgic for big family meals. Def prefer going for dinner and ordering dishes like seafood chow mein, crispy pork, and walnut shrimp.

This is one of my favorite dimsum place, although there are not many dimsum restaurants in the state. This restaurant has been operated for years. They have plenty of customer based. The service is fast and friendly. They show you what they’ve got to offered and wont hassle you. The steam items are excellent and reasonable price. Definitely rate this top over any other places in CO.

For a further refined review: 3.5/5. So as an explanation - I tried a variety of their chicken + rice meals (sesame and orange) as well as their dim sum menu.
Chicken and rice meals are awesome. I compare this stuff to Panda as it is the gold standard 3/5 quality Americanized Chinese food. Empress’ options for orange chicken and sesame chicken are step above and I’ll definitely be coming back for these!
The Dim sum is definitely not great in my opinion though (2.5/5). It is very cheap which is great, but overall not super flavorful and of high quality imo. I got 3 different plates and none of them I would consider good, just passable personally. It does at least come out very hot though. I don’t know the name of it, but I wish they carried that thick soy sauce-esque sauce that other dim sum restaurants have, it’s definitely my favorite.
I would come here for the chicken and rice meals - super great and can’t wait to come back!
