Empire Garden Restaurant is a longtime favorite spot for dim sum in the city. The huge restaurant has a theater-like ambiance with high ceilings. During lunchtime, they serve dim sum on push carts with a variety of delicious items like fried taro balls, shu mai, and shrimp dumplings. While some dishes like congee may be bland, the complimentary jasmine tea and optional chili oil add to the experience. The dim sum is described as mediocre by some, but others found the yellow cream buns to be delicious and the chicken and broccoli to be the best they've ever had. The service can be hit or miss, with some customers finding it hard to get the waiters' attention, while others noted the service was fast and accurate. Overall, Empire Garden Restaurant offers a unique dining experience with its grand room and decor, serving up authentic Chinese cuisine in Boston's Chinatown.
