| - This review is for their dim sum food and service specifically. We had a group dim sum outing with 8 adults and 3 kids over the weekend. Luckily, the wait wasn't long, and they had enough high chairs for the babies! Although it took a bit longer for the food we ordered to come out, the food here is definitely better quality than at other dim sum places in CLE. Here, there aren't dim sum ladies pushing carts around, so you order from the menu like you would normally at a restaurant. We enjoy dim sum here because the food tastes fresh, and we can avoid huge crowds or waiting for an hour for a table. The staff is incredibly nice and friendly here! The ladies aren't rude, which sometimes is associated with dim sum service ...or general Chinese restaurant service ;p. Trust me, it's not common to find such good staff service, so kudos to the Emperor's Palace staff!
We ordered everything from shrimp dumplings to banana leaf sticky rice, and even side a huge bowl of congee. They introduced their new dish to us, a turnip/taro pancake filled with bits of veggies and meats. I definitely never had this dish before, and I've grown up on dim sum. We loved it, and will definitely order it again on our next dim sum trip here. I also really loved their beef balls! If you've never had these during dim sum, just be aware that they are indeed cooked thoroughly even though it's pink when cut it in half. So good! In addition to the dim sum foods we also ordered their beef ho fun(fat rice noodles), and their Singapore chow mei fun(rice vermicelli) both of which were delicious! I'm so impressed with their continued efforts to brings us new dishes! Thank you for not being another stagnant, boring Chinese restarting in CLE!
