Weekend dim sum is a memorable experience at Chinatown’s famous Empress Pavilion, located in the bustling Bamboo Plaza. The décor may not be atmospheric – it’s defined by bright lighting, beige walls and old purple carpet – but the food more than makes up for it.

I used to go here about once a month... But the service has degraded and so has the quality of the food. I'm utterly dissapointed with Empress.
