I am SO happy I decided to try this place. I'm already obsessed! I stopped in for a solo lunch during a busy work week, and even though it was packed, they seated me right away at the last available table (clearly a popular lunch spot!). My server was amazing. Super helpful in explaining the menu and attentive without being overbearing. The inside was also really cute and clean, which made the experience even better. I started with the cucumber salad, which was incredibly refreshing with the perfect touch of spice and flavor. For my entrée, I ordered the pan-fried pork dumplings, and WOW, absolutely delicious. They were cooked to perfection, tasted super fresh, and you could tell they were made to order. The portion sizes were very filling for one person, and everything exceeded my expectations. I truly enjoyed my experience and will definitely be coming back regularly! read more

We ordered way too many items our first visit but they all looked so good! Nothing was a miss but the buns were my favorite, but I'dskip the pork belly bun next time. My husband's favorite were the soup dumplings. We will definitely be back to continue to try all of the yummy dumplings. read more

I don't know HOW I slept on Dumpling Empire for so long. We finally went (to the newer West Omaha location) and we could not have been more impressed. It's in a newer build strip mall next to Stokin' Goat, La Mesa, and Square Donut. But the interior feels like they've been there for years. Very homey, and bustling with diners. They have a handful of tables, but most people were taking their orders to go, it seemed like. We ate inside and had the most wonderful server named Juan. Juan was so friendly and gave us awesome recommendations, since it was our first time. He was jokey and super friendly. There were two specials on the daily menu when we went, that both looked good so we grabbed those, and they were both super tasty! The first was the crab leg noodle soup, and this was to DIE for! So crabby, with little crab leg filets in the delicious broth. It had a little heat to it, but nothing too crazy - just for extra flavor. And the second special was the Chicken Dumplings which we got pan fried. They had such tender dumpling dough filled with chicken, peas, carrots, and corn so it almost tasted like chicken noodle soup. So good! Since it was our first time there, we may have over ordered. Those two specials would have been enough (we split both items). But before we knew it, we had ordered two MORE dumplings. I chose the pan fried beef bun, and the beef was VERY flavorful. They were almost a little meatball in each bun which was so yum. And the tri-color soup dumplings were our last item, and we LOVED them, even though we were so full at the point. We read how you eat soup dumplings traditionally (bite off top point, slurp out the soup, eat rest of dumpling), but we also tried to just eat a whole one in one bite and it was fun too, exploding the soup in your mouth. Since we way over ordered, we definitely took some to-go containers, and Juan even put our soda into to-go cups for us to take. AND when I accidentally left that cup of soda on the table, he ran after me outside to make sure I didn't forget it. Now that is service! We will definitely be back to Dumpling Empire again (either this West Omaha kocation or the midtown spot). You should go too - you will NOT be disappointed. read more

Wow! First time trying Dumpling Empire and I think I've become a future regular. Service was fast and helpful, while the wait time for food was less than 15 minutes for several items. First of all, the fried buns were fantastic! Crispy outside with a warm inside filling. Then we shared a combo fried rice and a combo noodle. These noodles were some of the best I've had! Not too salty and such a great flavor. Definitely recommend them! Next time we'll have to dine in, but this take out experience was one to remember! read more

Unbelievably delicious food, great service, cannot wait to sit on the patio when the weather allows! We chowed down on the veggie fried rice, pork soup dumplings, beef fried dumplings, crab rangoons and edamame. Everything was terrific! Cooked to perfection. Will be back!! read more

I really wanted to love this place but at least for delivery it was just okay. I think a lot of the soup dumplings soup came out in transit so they were not as soupy as I would have liked. I also tried the braised beef bun and the scallion beef pancake roll and I just found overall everything was lacking a lot of flavor or basic seasoning like salt. I had to add some seasoning myself to eat it. Food also came luke warm. Overall, if you're going to try this place I'd say this is a dine in only spot and don't try to get it delivered like I did. I'm sure in person everything hot at your table would be a much better experience. read more

I've heard a lot about this place, so I had to try it. We shared several dishes, and overall it was very good. The hot and sour soup was hearty, with plenty of mushrooms and tofu, though I wish it had a bit more bite. The cucumber salad was a nice change - large cucumbers cut on an angle with a ginger, garlic, scallion sauce and what I think were chili peppers. Different and really enjoyable, with just enough heat. The spring rolls were boring--mostly thinly shredded cabbage with very little flavor. My favorite dish by far was the roast pork buns. So good. The sauce inside had a BBQ flavor that I loved. My least favorite was the tri-color steamed soup bun. I know these are popular, but the texture just didn't work for me. The pork filling was pale and overly soggy, and the bun itself was too soggy as well. The staff was friendly and the food came out fast. It was very steamy inside, so definitely wear layers. I'd go back for the roast pork buns, and I'd love to try their eggplant salad next time. read more

I've been 2x got the chili oil wonton soup(favorite) and crab noodle soup. My group also had hot and sour soup and soup dumplings! Prices are favorite and food is good and comforting read more

I've been so excited for this location to open. There is a dumpling place in Portland Oregon I love and its so nice we have a great spot in Omaha! We tried a bit of everything - crab rangoon, wontons, buns, dumpling and fried rice. I would pass on the fried rice, it was not the best, but we were so happy with everything else! They were busy on a Sunday night, they were pretty much full inside and had a few groups on the outdoor patio as well. I will absolutely come back, takeout would be a phenomenal option as well. read more

First experience eating at Dumpling Empire, and I'm very satisfied! The cucumber salad was great, the steamed beef buns with the chili oil are delicious, the egg drop soup is classic and comforting, and my husband enjoyed the spicy noodles with chicken(even though I didn't). Service was okay. We sat inside which is fairly small but not overly cramped. They also have a nice patio area! Will definitely be back to try a few more things! read more

I was absolutely blown away by this place!! I have been waiting for it to open and I'm so glad it's close to home!

The portion sizes are big so definitely ask the staff what they recommend so you can share across the table! read more

I had cucumber salad - I loved it. Pork steam buns - needed more broth in them but soft and delicious. And fried dumplings - wonderful. Brought leftovers home. Just terrific!!!! Quick friendly service. read more

This place is amazing. The cucumber salad, steamed pork dumplings, and chili oil wonton soup are my favorites.

Incredible food wowwww everything was delicious. I loved the braised beef noodle soup!!! My family and I got a bunch of dumplings to sample and all were delish:) the soup dumplings were a little hard to get out without losing the soup due to the container. Just be cautious as they are fragile. Regardless 10/10 for us all! read more

I have been looking for the Yaki Soba that I used to eat in Okinawa, Japan 40 years ago.... Dumpling Empire nailed it in their Beef Noodle dish. I believe the oil is the secret. So incredibly delicious. Regardless of your order, it's all good. Love, love this humble, little place. read more

Food is always very hot and fresh. Try this place, you will love it. We do! read more

Dumpling Empire - Chinese Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

The food is sweet, bland and not spicy. Not authentic food. Their chilli oil is joke, no heat at all. Much rather suggest china garden or blue fly for real heat. read more

The waiter informed us of the menu and the food was delicious! I would recommend ordering their dumplings.

Delicious beef noodle soup and Siu Mai dim sum - steamed hot and juicy. Fried rice yummy too.

We went there for the 2nd time (1st time was great) and literally they sat us down and did NOT come and serve us at all. We went there for a NYE dinner and ended up having to leave because no one even came to the table to ask us what we wanted to drink let alone order food. After about 15 minutes we went to leave and someone said "bye thank you" & we had to say thank you for what you guys didn't even serve us. We frequent restaurants often and that was by far the worst experience and on a holiday at that. We went to Chic fil a and some could learn from them when it comes to service! We will never go back here again!! read more

Cucumber salad was delicious. Soup dumplings tasted no different than I can buy frozen from Trader Joe's. Dumplings were a bad combination of gamy and chewy. read more
