Empress by Boon offers a delightful tasting menu with a range of complementary flavors across its five courses. The food is described as delicious, although some may find it a little rich. The wine pairing option is enjoyed, and the duck is a highlight, with crisp skin and tender meat. The staff is knowledgeable and accommodating, and the views of Coit Tower are exceptional on clear days, making for an overall exceptional dining experience.
The restaurant has received mixed reviews recently. Some customers found the food to be a pleasant surprise, with highlights like the crispy fried egg roll and the fresh, handmade shrimp dumplings. However, other customers felt that the food was a bit too rich and fancy for their liking, with some dishes, such as the fried noodles and the snow crab, not meeting their expectations. The service was also noted as being a bit slow at times, and there were some issues with the heating in the restaurant.
Despite these mixed reviews, the restaurant is still praised for its stunning decor and beautiful views, making it a great choice for special occasions and important dates.
