Omg yes. Idk what their sauce is for their cucumber salad, but it is so good. Black bean and chili? Got the pork steamed dumplings as well. A bit too salty and I wish there was more filling, but still great l. Human chicken was also good, but the sauce had a bit too much starch in it. Customer service was superb. Ugh I'm still dreaming about the sauce in that cucumber salad! read more

Dumpling Empire is a GREAT pit stop while you're in the Omaha area! They have everything you could want from an Asian restaurant! The staff was great, they sat us in a corner so not to bother anyone with our little guest joining us @ 4 mo old, they were helpful, warm courteous, and prompt. The dumplings came out rather quickly, and plates came roughly around the same time. The food was hot, very good, and authentic. Our soup dumplings were some of the best I've had in a long while, the sesame balls were scrumptious and I recommend both! The crab rangoon was incredibly fresh, the shells were still crunchy the next day after sitting in the fridge. While not normally a fan of them, these were delish, definite recommendation. The interior was bustling! Different types from all walks here for scrumptious dumplings. It was pretty busy for a Saturday night, most tables were filled. Very clean place. Reasonably priced, warm staff, amazing soup dumplings, and good location! read more

Dumpling Empire - Multicolor soup dumplings!! - Dim Sum Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

I think I may have died and gone to heaven when I stopped in here. The crab soup healed me in a way I didn't think soup could heal me in! The meat was perfectly cooked, fell apart as soon as you touched it with the chopsticks, literal perfection! The dumplings were delicious, so warm and stuffed with amazing fresh ingredients. The crab rangoons are some of the best I've had in a while (I say this as a crab Rangoon enthusiast). They were crispy but not hard and full of real crab! The cucumbers were crispy and sweet, with a perfect snap! Our server was quick with our orders and answered any questions we had with enthusiasm! It's a laid back shop, nothing fancy, but WOW is it a great bite! read more

I was impressed by all the positive reviews, so I was really excited to try Dumpling Empire! It did not disappoint! They have a large menu and we decided to try a few different items. The service was great and prompt with getting orders and bringing items out. I have never had buns and the menu was comprehensive with a description of each item. We got the Takoyaki appetizer and holy moly it was hot. I recommend poking them with a chopstick to let out some of the steam before you bite into it. We got the tri colored soup buns and the chili oil wanton soup for main dishes. They were both really flavorful. I added some of the sauce provided on the table for the buns and it was even better! I also got to try a little of the pork belly bun and it was delicious with a soft bao bun. The overall vibe of the restaurant was very casual but warm. There were several items I was scouting on the menu and checking out on others' tables, so we will be back to try more! read more

I was running errands in the area and had heard about this place so I decided to check it out! I had been to the eye doc earlier in the day but the lack of near vision could not keep me from seeing the mouth watering menu and finding some interesting items! I started with the cucumber salad. The size and make up of this plate caught me completely off guard! I don't know what I was expecting but somehow I didn't expect sliced up cucumbers in chili sauce . Frankly, that was probably my favorite item of the day. It was so refreshing and not spicy in the least bit (to me anyway). Next was the chili oil pork noodles. Coming out of the kitchen, it lacked any sort of spice so I needed a lot more chili oil. It was good before and after my alteration. It was perfect for a cool day. The broth was perfect and light. The chili oil clung to the noodles perfectly. Service was quick and attentive. I was sat as soon as I walked in and my order was taken shortly after I indicated I was ready. I'll need to come with more than just me to fully take advantage of the menu offerings here next time! read more

Awesome spot on 72nd! Been here a few times and this is a great place for grabbing a warm meal. My favorite is the steamed pork dumplings, as well as the wonton soup. This last time I tried the crab leg soup which was a special, and it was also fantastic. One of my favorite appetizers is the cucumber salad...it is mixed in a spicy sauce that is incredible to use for dipping the dumplings or wonton in as well...I order this with every meal and it never disappoints. read more

Dumpling Empire - Crab leg soup - Dim Sum Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

A really good dining experience for our first time. Been open for a year or so, but just now getting around to trying things out. Went specifically for the dumplings, but the menu has a good variety of items to choose from. Plenty of rice and noodle dishes with different types of proteins to mix in. We selected a number of pork, shrimp and beef buns. All were decent. They also have a decent selection of appetizers. We went with the eggplant in the spicy sauce and it was delicious. Reasonable prices. Staff were friendly and informative. read more

First thing that I noticed is, the music is loud. We were greeted and seated immediately. I ordered the hot black tea and was kinda surprised that it was simply Lipton. The black tea was hot, but it didn't have much flavor at all. The wife's Hot green tea was much better. The Chicken Fried rice was delicious and there was plenty of it too. The Braised beef was served cold, I had never had it that way. The oil it was in was super good. I'm not sure that I am a fan of the cold beef dish. The dumplings were awesome and I highly recommend them. The service was lackluster and almost uncomfortable. There wasn't much of a drink selection. I will wait a bit to return. read more

It was my first time visiting this place and we were all excited to try a Chinese dim sum place. Overall, it was good. We ordered the steamed and pan fried pork dumplings, chili oil flat noodles, pork buns, kung pao chicken, and eggplant salad. We all really liked the flat noodles and kung pao chicken. The pork buns had a slightly different taste than what I was used to. The bun part was soft, but had a slightly fermented taste. Service was quick and the place was nice to take your family. Noise level was low and the place got filled pretty quickly during lunch hours. read more

Service was great, food came out fresh and quickly. Loved everything we ordered. I got the pork soup noodles (not spicy), my brother got the Szechuan soy noodles, my parents both got dumplings, and we also got soup dumplings and the eggplant salad. Obsessed with whatever sauce was in the eggplant salad, I added it to my noodles and soup dumplings too. Everything was delicious. I would come back again. (coming from an Asian who is picky about Asian food). This was authentic and I like that they have hand pulled noodles and make their dumplings from scratch! I want to try their chili oil wide noodles and beef noodle soup next time. Ambiance is laid back and comfortable! My family is in town just visiting Omaha, and we will be coming back to this restaurant for sure. read more

This place is small and you barely know it's there from the outside. But people are usually waiting around. We went in with another couple and the smell got to us. We were seated and ordered dumplings of course, Rangoon's, cucumber salad, and a few other things. I will get the cucumber salad every time I go because it was so flavorful and tasty. Nothing was disappointing. Everything was delicious and so fresh. They bring things out as they're done cooking, which is nice because everyone gets hot food. We dug right in so some of the food in the pictures is half eaten, but that shows how great it was. Now I know why this place is so popular and will have to come back to try other Things on the menu. read more

My new absolute favorite!!!! So many vegetables in the noodles and the spring rolls were packed with flavor. The crab ragoons were very creamy and nicely filled. But the service is by far the stand out for this place. My son wanted the king pao chicken but doesn't do any type of spice.and the server said no problem. And it was absolutely amazing! Even as leftovers cuz you're going to need a box! The spring rolls and crab ragoons warm up perfectly in the air fryer! read more

The restaurant was about half full when we showed up around 8pm on a Sunday, and we were seated right away. The workers were friendly and helpful when we ordered. This was my first time and I wanted to try a little variety. I had chili oil wonton soup, Tri Color Soup Buns, Takoyaki, and a Braised Pork Belly Bun. Everything was hot, fresh, and tasty. The standout was the wonton soup, it was very flavorful with pork wontons and bok choy. Vibe was cozy and warm with attentive service. We will be back to try more from Dumpling Empire! read more

This dumpling empire is much better than the west o location. More inviting and doesn't feel like a sweatshop like the other.

Tried this place last night and it did not disappoint! The staff was attentive and seated us quickly even though it was packed. The food was delicious. The edamame was as expected and the cucumber salad was so good! We tried some dumplings which were juicy and flavorful and we also got an entree. The noodles were fresh and perfectly seasoned. I would 100% recommend trying this place out! I will definitely be back! read more

The service was pretty quick, but the food was yum! Especially the cucumber salad and the XLB! Overall, I love this place and food - although i think their red chili could be a bit spicier or some of the dishes could be spicier if it has the name 'spicy' included on the item name. Would love to try more items on the menu! The inside was also lively! read more

Impecable! We stopped here to have some lunch and wanted to come back as soon as we left. The owner was one of the friendliest people I have ever met. He truly made our experience outstanding. He guided us through the menu and explained the cooking process for the many foods. He constantly checked up on us and truly ensured we had everything we needed. The food itself was absolutely delicious. In total, my family and I ordered around 15 dishes and EVERY SINGLE ONE was incredible. The flavor was so well developed and you could look into the kitchen to watch as the skilled cooks shaped each dumpling by hand. Truly mouth watering. If I'm ever back in the area, I will be sure to return :) read more

Dumpling Empire - 10 Chili Oil Wontons - Dim Sum Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

Dumpling Empire is the place for dumplings (obviously). There are many different dumplings to choose from. We tried the soup dumplings and the fried pork buns. Both were very flavorful. I also enjoyed the chili oil wonton soup. I do wish they gave you little dishes for soy sauce, but maybe they gave them they were just really busy. The star of the show for me was the cucumber salad. Garlicky, crunchy, full of flavor this was outstanding. Come early; there was a line to the door all night. read more

Amazing service...we were warmly greeted upon entering and promptly seated. My wife ordered the kung pao shrimp while I ordered the dan dan noodles. We also ordered the shrimp shumai, pan fried pork dumplings, and the tri colored soup dumplings.

So here I am I decided to make Nebraska my home. So I decided I'm hungry and needed something to soothe my soul. Walked into dumpling empire. Immediately greeted from one of the hosts here. Very nice and punctual. The place is bright and modern ample seating. Ordered a starry (like sprite) the ice taste a little chlorine. I ordered the strange wonton soup fried shumai steamed shumai and eggplant salad. The host are quick to fill your drinks. The strange wonton soup is slightly spicy so wontons and yummy. The eggplant salad so good tangy and fresh. I'm definitely take one back home. The fried and steamed pork shumai. Tasty and juicy. Definitely check this place out read more

When you walk in you can see the dumpling being made right in front of you, super cool! Started with a cucumber salad and it was in such a savory perfect spicy sauce, definitely worth ordering. We did have to wait a while to get our food ordered but it was okay since it seemed like there was about 2 people serving a whole restaurant. We got chili oil noodles with pork and was so delicious. At the end of eating, my tongue had a wide array of flavors. read more

My husband and I met up with family here for dinner on a recent Saturday night. There was a short wait, but they turned tables around very quickly, so it wasn't bad at all! The space is large with plenty of seating available. We were never really given a drinks menu or told what our drink options were, but it seemed they had a variety of soft drinks and maybe a few beers on tap available. My husband and I got hot tea, which wasn't anything special but was hot and soothing. I was disappointed to see almost no vegetarian dumpling options, but there are several vegetarian dishes available otherwise. I ended up getting pan friend vegetable buns and the chili oil noodles to share with my husband. The noodles were my favorite - they were flavored well and were nice and chewy. I highly recommend them! Unfortunately I think our waiter forgot to ring in the buns, because we had gotten the rest of the food for the table and 10 minutes later we had to flag him down for the buns and even after that, it was another 10-15 minutes before we got them. We were basically almost done eating at that point. The buns had a nice fried skirt and good texture of the dumpling itself. The filling, however, was a little bland. We asked for some chili oil for the table and pour a bit of that into the buns amped up the taste quite a bit. We also got sesame balls for the table, which were nice but a little sparse in the filling. Overall a good meal and I would come back, but just missed the mark for a couple things both food and service related. Looking forward to trying some other options on the menu though. read more

This is my new go to comfort food, this winter I've ADORED the strange taste wantons as a winter warm up, the broth is just the right amount of spice and the wantons are so good! I've eaten it all both times I've ordered! For noodles I absolutely recommend the cold sesame noodles, a great flavor profile and plenty to share or eat later. As far as buns go the pan fried are my favorite! The service is quick, there's always been a place to be seated and it's easy to have a conversation with your party. Reasonably priced and love watching the dumplings, buns and more being crafted in the open kitchen. This is a must try in my opinion! read more

Dumpling factory I wanted to like you 5 stars but I will let u know why. First of all, the food was good. I don't want to say great but I was hapoy to have some Chinese food since we were having a lot of burgers and sandwiches. The soup dumplings was delicious. The shrimp hat gau was was good too! We also got some vegetable pot stickers which were tasty. The spicy tofu was ok, the sauce was great but something about what they put in it didn't go together. The soda was strangely watered down and tasted like chlorine. I was disappointed with that. The service was spotty, asked a few questions but instead of saying I don't know what u are asking he just answered in the wrong way. The restaurant was empty but he didn't come to ask if we were aok. Overall I would try here again, it was a comfortable setting, lots of parking, the food was good, and there was a to go option too. When I return to Omaha , I will be there again. read more

Wow!! Way more than we expected! We looked up the menu online prior to coming in, we saw they had "strange taste won ton soup" and that settled it for me... we needed to try this place. This is a sit down and get a menu kinda place with a very upbeat lively feel to it. The wait staff was really patient and helpful, and the patrons are plenty and all looked happy. Then there is the food!!! Beyond delicious. She had the garlic chicken and vegetable buns, I, the Mongolian chicken and of course the strange taste won ton soup. Wow! If you are looking for a great tasting and filing meal, and you happen to be on 72nd st. This is your place to try. We will make this a part of our restaurant rotation.

This is a small, nicely spaced room with a couple of booths, tables, chairs and some banquette seats. The variety of seating options means most patrons will be comfortable. We hadn't eaten here before so I decided to try something different: steamed vegetable buns. They were served in the steamer basket. The bun part was fluffy and tender and the vegetables were a mix of mushrooms, tofu, vermicelli, cabbage, ginger, and scallions. It tasted ok for me, especially after I added some teriyaki sauce. Bookguy had a garlic chicken noodle dish that also had rice. It looked like chicken, scallion, red and green peppers in a sauce. It was a very generous portion and he liked it. We also had crab rangoon that he said didn't taste like crab, which was fine with me because it was creamy inside and crunchy outside. The waiter said a cheese wonton was the same as a crab rangoon. With so many good Asian restaurants, and us not being dumpling fans per se, we probably won't be back. read more
