EMPIRE BILLIARD • KITCHEN • LOUNGE

This is the best Dim Sum place I’ve ever had. The food is so delicious, there are so many options to choose from and you can choose many different things at once. The shrimp dumplings and jasmine tea was delicious. The service is great too, they’re so friendly. We actually took time to talk with them after our meal. Highly recommend.

If you want dim sum, this is your place. We came on a Wednesday evening around 6pm. We were greeted instantly and sat at a table. There’s a QR code at the table that allows you to place an order yourself. I have a small human so I like that they offer other choices like friend rice and noodles (everything that my little human loves). Their dim sum is great! Every thing we ordered was delicious. The place is clean and every one we came in contact with was friendly. We will be back!

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 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.

Empire DIM SUM. I had dinner here tonight. This was my second visit and it was just as good as the first time. The pork fried rice is so dang good! They cut the pork into small cubes and combined with the seasoning, it's just really tasty! The turnip cake is also a fave. I ordered it again tonight. That's what the second pic is. It's strips of turnips with little pieces of the bbq pork and other yumminess cut into rectangles and pan fried. So good! Pic 3 is custard buns with pic 6 showing the inside. It's sweet and eggy goodness. Pic 4 is the pork shumai that I ordered last time. We ordered the Crab Paste Soup Dumplings tonight and we liked them better! We also ordered the "pan fried meat and vegetable buns." A large, sweet bao bun with a large ball of seasoned pork inside, steamed. The juice inside is really tasty but I personally wasn't a fan of the texture of the meat. That's my issue though. No reflection on the restaurant. The service is excellent though be advised that each item comes out separately or maybe two at a time but for the most part, it takes time for your entire order to arrive so be careful and don't scarf down all of the first couple of items or you'll be too full for the rest...lol! Also be advised that pretty much everything comes 3 or more pieces to an order so be careful not to order too much food! It's easy to do because they have such a nice variety. For those who aren't familiar with this type of food, the staff are very helpful and can explain everything and answer questions, but I advise people to be adventurous, ask for the physical menu as opposed to scanning the QR code at the table because it has pictures of most of the items, and pick like 3 or 4 things that look good and jump in! Bon appetit and if you see me out and about, please stop and say hi! I'm always down to meet new friends!

late night snack hit the spot. will definitely be back for more! pho tai & beef ball fried chicken wing in buffalo sauce

The dim sum is soooo good it will make you love your asian mother so much that you will take her here and order everything. Support these people they bring families together like a good soup dumpling. The chicken feet is delicious it is beloved by the nice folks of the south okc represent. Also I like the snails it will make you think of vietnam and make you want to deport yourself just to experience the nice cool air and delicious food. It's that good 10/10 would do it again. Also the owner is cool he likes key lime pie.

On a quest to discover Oklahoma’s after-hour spots, I stumbled upon this place on Google Maps. My wife and I arrived around 11:30 p.m. on Thursday, August 29, 2024. The place was empty, and 2013 hip-hop filled the space. We were immediately seated by a young woman named Wanda (if I remember correctly), who was helpful throughout the service, describing the dishes and how each dish was served. We ordered the steamed Shanghai dumplings, pan-fried turnip cake, chicken fried rice, vegetable flat noodles, and deep-fried bean curd skin roll with shrimp. Steamed Shanghai Dumplings: These were soup dumplings. They seemed to be previously frozen, which is okay with me, but they were served inside an aluminum foil holder, making it difficult to get out without tearing the dumpling and spilling the soup. Rating: 2.3/5 Pan-Fried Turnip Cake: Delicious. It was crispy on the outside and flavorful on the inside. Rating: 5/5 Chicken Fried Rice: I’ve yet to find a Chinese spot with good fried rice in OKC. Empire did not disappoint. The rice was fluffy and fried, not just doused in soy sauce for color. The portion size was good; we had enough to take home. I’m taking a point off because I like bean sprouts and eggs in my fried rice. Rating: 4/5 Vegetable Flat Noodles: Yum! That’s all I have for this one. Rating: 5/5 Deep-Fried Bean Curd Skin Roll with Shrimp: I didn’t know what to expect here, but it did not disappoint. The roll was fresh, crispy on the outside, and full of hearty shrimp on the inside. Rating: 4/5 Overall we will return because it's open late and the dishes are fresh and plentiful. A final note: all ordering is done digitally on the TOAST platform. We ordered food and paid electronically, so make sure your phone is charged.

It’s nicely redone. Everything looked pretty new. We waited awhile before we went, so we didn’t have any of the same troubles as the people who went when it first opened. Such as , food still cold or raw inside. We didn’t have any issues. I thought everything was pretty good. Some things lacked in flavor and the chicken feet weren’t soft enough. As far as service, they were quick and were helpful. The ordered food came out timely. The cart runner skipped our table twice, so we left after that. Will be back to try other stuff and hopefully by then; they’ve worked out the kinks.
