My wife and I love exploring dim sum restaurants throughout the Bay Area and Asia. Din Tai Fung, Yank Sing, and Koi Palace have long been among our favorites. But we discovered Empress M quite by accident, and it has quickly earned a place alongside these outstanding establishments.
The quality of the dim sum rivals that of these renowned establishments. An added bonus for us is that we’ve consistently enjoyed their dishes without experiencing the sensitivity we associate...read full review

Empress M is a popular Chinese restaurant known for its delectable menu offerings and attentive staff. The dumplings, sesame balls, and egg tarts are particularly noteworthy, while the Peking duck is served with a crispy skin. The restaurant offers a traditional dining experience with great value, though the dim sum may not have lived up to expectations for some. Recently, the restaurant hosted a special lunch for a birthday celebration, with four large round tables filled with delicious noodles, meat dishes, vegan options, soups, and homemade desserts that disappeared quickly. The staff was very kind and thoughtful, providing cultural birthday hats and a beautiful calligraphy scroll as gifts. Many visitors find Empress M to be the most authentic Cantonese dining experience in America, with a traditional Chinese-style ambience that makes guests feel like they are in Guangzhou. The food is so good that it feels like a quick trip to China. The service is warm and attentive, and the manager often takes time to explain dishes and suggest wine pairings. Despite some customers feeling rushed before closing time, the restaurant is highly recommended for enjoying a meal with family or friends. The atmosphere is often described as lavish and beautiful, making it a perfect spot for a memorable dining experience.
