The Empress Seafood Restaurant

Ah I always crave a good Cantonese Style dinner and this meal was delicious! We ordered all our favorite go to dishes: Ginger Scallion Crab, Green Beans with Pork, Roast Duck, Cantonese Style Chow Mein, Shrimp with Lobster Sauce, and Potstickers! I enjoyed the Green Beans dish. I was so excited to see chung choy in it, which added to the flavor profile. The combination Chow Mein was perfectly crispy with plentiful amounts of tender meat and veggies. Ginger Scallion Crab and Shrimp with Lobster sauce was what we expected and executed well. Some of the end pieces of duck were a bit salty but overall was very good. I’d love to try the Peking Duck next time with the buns and the crispy roast pork. I felt the cost of the food was very reasonable with the amount of food given. I love the fact that you can order dim sum at any time. But makes it hard to choose what to order because everything sounds good. The servers were so nice and had very fun personalities, always with a smile on their faces. They made our meal really enjoyable and did a fairly good job keeping our water cups filled. The restaurant was spacious and appeared tidy. We went there on a Saturday night and there were people setting up for likely a wedding event. I’m sure Empress is a place where many Asians have their reception meals and events. The neighborhood is a bit sketchy and was happy to see that they had their own parking lot. We were only visiting, but we’ll definitely be back to try more items in the future and would recommend others to give it a try!

Such a great dim sum option, complete with fresh grilled dumplings and traditional cart service. There is no long wait like at Star Kitchen and the food is always fresh & delicious.

Great dim sum in Denver! Service and staff are wonderful, quality of food is fantastic. Don’t let the parking lot being full fool you, they are massive inside with tons of tables!

This is honestly the best dim sum in Denver. I have been to four others and they just can’t seem to beat this restaurant! Everything here is amazing! From the food to the dining experience, this place is it! The price is also very reasonable! The chili oil here is to die for!!!! So good with everything!!!! I highly recommend the chili oil!!!

Wow! Delightful! We’ve been there now for dinner and lunch; definitely go for lunch if you want fresh carts going around. The chicken feet are nice and soft and delicious, but for dinner they’ve gotten a bit dry on the tops of them, maybe from sitting in a fridge or under a heat lamp. Service? Great! Attentive, fast, informative. Salt and pepper pork chop was cut into smaller pieces than were used to eating, but that was still excellent—crispy, savory, melts in your mouth! Chinese broccoli is a MUST. We adore their fried “football” pork glutinous balls. AMAZING. Shrimp and eggplant dim sum also excellent. I’d recommend maybe leaning away from fried taro cake, as it’s very salty. Go! Please go! So yummy.
