What User doesn't like about Empress of China:
The dumplings here are good - not the best in Chinatown by a long shot, but excellent value. Plates of steamed vegetarian, pork or prawn dumplings never disappoint, and having them alongside Chinese broccoli with garlic sauce makes for a good cheap meal. This is a great venue to have a few drinks before you head out - their BYO policy is pretty loose. Not the friendliest service, the best decor or the roomiest tables... View all feedback. What User likes about Empress of China:
We came here for a quick dinner with family. The food came quickly, and when one dish didn't arrive, it came out straight away when we asked. The fried vegetable dumplings were delicious, and the Chinese broccoli with oyster sauce was very nice too. Prices are good, especially for the dumplings. Five of us with 5 or 6 dishes to share cost $95. You can bring your own alcohol for a corkage charge (I think $2.50/each).... View all feedback.
