Empire Garden Restaurant 690 Washington Street, Boston, MA 02111

"Cool old place with delicious food. They need to clean the linens and replace the rugs. It hasn't been updated since the 70's?! Nice staff . Reasonable prices too!"

"Old school dim sum place with carts of familiar dim sum rounding the former grand theatre space. They have special dishes not making the rounds like clams and black bean sauce, beef brisket and daikon stew and other classics on a small buffet to the side you can go to and get heaping bowlfuls of your favorites. Service is friendly and helpful. This is where Chinese families get together for dim sum. Recommend."

"This place is incredible. Close to the orange line Chinatown stop. Go for dim sum in the mornings on the weekend. The ladies who work there will show you to your table and pour your some hot tea and they will bring carts by with lots of different delicious plates. Dumplings and buns galore, beautiful atmosphere. We will be back for sure."

"A new experience for me. They come around with carts loaded with food, and you choose what you like. I was there late, at 14:00 , I am sure that is why it was empty. Except for a few Asian customers. Which I always think is good. It is a beautiful restaurant, used to be the theater. The food was excellent and the staff was very helpful. They have a full bar. Also, take note of the parking that is available in 1 of the pictures, please verify with the website first."

"Lovely experience. I went here for dim sum on a Sunday with family. We were looking for a traditional style dim sum with carts after Hei La Moon moved, and we were not disappointed. The food was immediate delicious and hot. The turnip cakes are my absolute favorite. They automatically bring tea to the table, and will refill upon request. There were a few tables open, but Sunday morning is the busiest time of the week. The space itself is gorgeous and colorful, it's worth going just to experience. We did not see a cart for tapioca coconut milk soup, so we asked for that. The staff speak enough English to explain what meat is in things, but it is difficult with dietary restrictions. This is not a good place to go as a vegetarian."
