With Leandro and three others.
Empress of China is in Chinatown near the corner of Lt Bourke and Exhibition sts. Like most places it is a two storey Chinese restaurant.
We came at 8pm and were served quickly. We had one boiled vegetarian dumplings ($4 for 8 pieces), red bean pancake ($4.50), fried vegetarian dumplings ($8 for 15 pieces) and prawn wontons in soup (I think it was $9). We also had beef dumplings (I think it was $8.50).
The floors were really sticky and the bathrooms weren't so clean. They are up on the second floor and behind a door.
Attention of the wait staff was hard to get, but once we got it it was alright. The guy didn't know much about how big the pancake was.
But at least we didn't have to wait long for the food and we sipped on complimentary tea. The dumplings when they came were rather small but moreish and it was perfect without the sauce.
The red bean pancake was my favourite. That and the vegetarian dumplings. As for the prawn wontons I could not taste the meat in this. So I was very happy as a pescatarian. It was supposed to have pork in there but oh well.
Rating:
14/20- loved the dumplings, but some training is needed for the service. Oh and some basic hygiene too.
