★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Robert · Dec 2025

This place is really rundown and kind of gross. The staff were super pushy and the meal I had was cold and really didn’t smell very fresh. I didn’t eat most of it and then on the way out after paying, a woman basically chased me down the staircase saying I didn’t pay. I had to run and get the young waiter and he stated that I paid she didn’t even apologize. She just walked away. The restaurant looks good in photographs, but in person it’s really rundown. The place smells kinda bad and the carpets really need to be replaced. I really wanted to love the place, but I’m sorry it was really sad and kinda depressing.

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Bobo Antares · Feb 2026

Another failed Chinese restaurant in Boston. Food was terrible. The seafood noodle only had 4 pieces of shrimp, few scallops and lots of fish cake and vegetable. Taste was under par. Not recommended at all. They are even confused with their own name. We saw both Empire and Emperor 🤣

★★★★☆ 4.0 Lo · Sep 2025

Good Cantonese food, some dishes can be improved like the fried rice and longevity noodles and the sweet sour pork chop. Very big restaurant. I’m assuming dim sum is more popular than dinner service.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Courtney Grant · Mar 2026

Went for lunch. Dim sum was excellent. Everything was very fresh, hot, and delicious. Only detractor was the carpeting, tables, and chairs were a bit run down and the entryway/stairwell had a bit of a smell. Otherwise we definitely plan on returning!

★★★★★ 5.0 Ousten Singh · Mar 2026

One of the only Dim Sum places that serve on carts everyday not just the weekends. We went on a Monday. Food delicious as always and the people are very nice. I recommend. It's also not too far from parking garage.
