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. We think you will too ! read more

Dumpling Empire - Dim Sum Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

Some of the best kung pao chicken I've ever had. May have to be patient with your time, but it's worth it. We've been back several times and it's so good every single time read more

Wow, the dumplings were so good! The service was outstanding and the food came out super fast and really hot! If you are a dumpling fan don't miss out on this place, you won't be disappointed! You can see the people making the food which is super cool and the vibe is really casual! Really liked it! read more

Food is amazing and authentic, my favor is Mongolian Beef with noodles. Dumplings are wonderful... staff is great and can help you choose and give you recommendations. Seating is never a problem but call for large parties.... Plenty of parking. Tips: Two locations, 72nd location is the only one that has aMongolian Beef. Food allergies, let the staff know, they will make sure make sure no cross contamination. read more

Very nice location about a mile south of I 80 on 72nd St. in Omaha. Dedicated parking, indoor and outdoor seating, as well as to go ordering. Pleasantly greeted and quickly seated with accommodations for an infant in a corner of the dining room. Our servers were very nice about several folks in our party late to the table and kept the food coming the entire Meal. There is no alcohol at this location, but an array of nonalcoholic options should quench your thirst. Prices are extremely economical. Dumplings were good as was several of the appetizer and rice dishes we ordered. having only been open for a month. They did a very good job and look forward to coming back and trying a few new dishes. read more

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

We saw this new place on Yelp while looking for a new place eat. The place is fairly new and plenty of space inside. We got greeted by friendly staff and got seated right away. They have a great selection of soups, wontons, dumplings and noodles. I highly recommend the tri-color steamed soup buns, as well as the steamed shumai appetizers. Not a fan of their Chicken Leg Soup Noodle, but the Chili Oil Noodle, Cucumber salad, as well as the Chili Oil with wonton were really good. We'll definitely be back to try the other items in their menu. read more

If you came here expecting franks, you'll be heavily disappointed. If you came here looking for dumplings, you found the right place. Only place I can think of in town that this spot is comparable to is Hip Bao, and Dumpling Empire beats them at every turn. Service is dim sum style so don't expect to get everything at once. I got a BBQ pork steamed bun, the triple delicacy fried dumplings, and the spicy pork noodles. Everything was delicious and came out piping hot. They also have traditional American style Chinese offerings i did not get a chance to try. Will definitely be back! read more

I cannot wait to go back to Dumping Empire to try more of their menu! Everything we ordered was so good. The sauce that is on the cucumber salad is just fantastic. I dipped all of my dumplings in it because it's just so good!! All of the dumplings were great -- we got steamed and also the fried buns. Both were delicious! I really want to try their noodle dishes in the future! We will be back! My only complaint is we weren't sure if we were supposed to order at the counter or wait for a server and same when it came to paying. Also weren't sure if we were supposed to seat ourselves or wait to be seated. read more

It is one of those simple restaurants that feels homey when you step in. It's been hard finding authentic Chinese food in the Omaha area, but this one took me by surprise the first time I went. I really liked the open concept they had and how you can see the dumpling-making stations! The dumplings were especially authentic - a very fitting name for the restaurant! I was slightly disappointed in their noodles, though. They had the traditional types of noodles, but the taste was just a little off. The service was very good - we had the kindest waiter and brought us food and water fast and was attentive throughout our dining experience. read more

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

We've been wanting to try Dumpling Empire, and so glad we did! Finally a go-to dumpling place in the Omaha metro area! Everything we had was bomb! Shrimp dumplings with their house sauce was my fave! Scallion Pancakes are probably our fave in the Omaha area. Chili oil noodle was also really good! The pork belly buns weren't my favorite, but still worth a try, especially if you like pork belly! The restaurant is very spacious and clean. Servers are friendly! Parking is ample, but on a busy day in this plaza could have to park in nearer to one of the other businesses in this area. We will def be back to try some of their other dishes! Can't wait! read more

Such a gem! The food is amazing. Don't sleep on the cucumber salad or the hand pulled noodles. The tri-delicacy dumplings are also fire. Service is warm and efficient. Love the patio in summer! read more

It's ALL good. Looking for something new? Give it a try! You can watch them hand-stuff the dumplings and everything is served piping hot! read more

I really enjoyed the garlic tofu and scallion pancakes. Both were made perfectly and with the right amount of seasoning for a balance in flavor. We also tried the shrimp dumplings, which had a strong shrimp taste, and the vegetarian buns. Both were good, but I don't think I'd order them again. There's lots more to try on the menu! The dining room is large and open. Once we ordered the food it came out fast, but the service to get our order taken was very slow. read more

The Mongolian Chicken should be renamed Mongolian Onion. Nearly half an onion in the dish and it seemed like more onion than chicken. The green pepper was sparse and maybe one or two pieces of red pepper. I felt ripped off for $14.00. And there was horrible music playing. Last time here. read more

Dumpling Empire - See review. Way too much onion. Dish should be labelled Mongolian Onion. - Dim Sum Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

Fabulous. Best Xiao Long Bao I've had outside of Chinatown in Las Vegas, which is where I live. I was super impressed. Will definitely come back again when in Omaha. I do wish they would have had small dipping bowls and add chili oil and black vinegar along with soy sauce at the table. read more

We went here on a Wednesday night when it was fairly busy for a birthday dinner. Some drunk asshole started harassing the staff and acting very threatening. The staff handled it so well and maintained composure the whole time. Our meal was incredible, the pan fried pork buns were delicious and everything came out piping hot. Despite a drunk dude berating the staff our evening was wonderful and we will definitely be back. read more

I've been here a couple of times and have enjoyed the food here. The interior is very clean and spacious. I ordered some dumplings, a scallion pancake, and a beef noodle soup. Everything was delicious and served pretty fast. I'll be coming back here for sure! read more

Dumpling Empire - 6 Tri-Color Steamed Soup Buns Scallion Pancake Beef Soup Noodle - Dim Sum Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

A simple, open eating space to dine at. Standard interior for the Omaha area. Yummy dumplings and steamed buns. Our first time there, we ordered both the pork belly and beef buns (one each). They were outstanding. Although the pork belly one came out first and the beef one we ended up taking home bc it came after we finished the rest of the meal. Strange timing, for sure, but they credited our bill without us asking--a customer service trick to keep the complaint element low and expectation high, for next time. They were honest about the mistake and took the time to make it right for us. Very appreciated. We also got one order of fried pork dumplings which far exceeded our (very low) standard of made-at-home-from-the-freezer-section style, we are used to. This is def a place to try everything on the menu. We'll be back and soon! read more

Was I overly excited to come here (yes) and did I overly-order as a result (yes) but we're all the leftovers eaten (yes) and would I go back again (yes). Oh and did I forget to order some "staple" items (yes). read more

Great first experience. Food came out very fast after ordered. Food is portioned very well. Will definitely be back.

A really fun place for lunch, we came into a clean floor and welcoming location. Excellent dim sum menu full of dumplings and fresh ideas. We enjoyed our meal, had fun, and recommended this place. read more

Went to dumpling empire for lunch last weekend and basically ordered the whole menu with my friends. Everything we ordered was so good and hot. The service was on top of it and waiter was very friendly. read more

I'm surprised at how decent the braised beef noodles were. It was full of flavor and didn't hold back on the spice/chili oil. The noodles were filling enough that I didn't need more food. Wanted to give the tip that the place is not dog friendly despite yelp filter stating otherwise. Our dog is big, but didn't realize it would be an issue to sit outside. read more

Ambience - a nice, cozy vibe. Not too fancy, overall casual but well kept, clean and spacious Service- service was overall quick however our server did not know the menu well and overall was unable to provide helpful suggestions. We ordered some dumplings, wonton soup, and my partner ordered their meal however I was still deciding on my meal so we had them come back in a few minutes. I then ordered my meal approximately 5ish minutes later however when it came to delivering the food, all of the dumplings, soup and my partners meal came at the same time and my meal came much later when my partner was almost done. Typically you'd think both main entrees would come together despite ordering a few minutes later. Also not ideal to have everything we ordered come at once but overall not the biggest deal. Food- the food was underwhelming. The spicy chili wonton soup was good but not the most flavorful wonton soup I've ever had. The soup dumplings were also good but nothing mind blowing. We were disappointed in the entrees (Mongolian beef and king pao shrimp) which tasted very average at best. Overall this place is ok . Worth trying at least once. I would return to try a few more dumplings. read more

Dank dumps. Seriously this place is so good. I'm pretty obsessed with the popular Din Tai Fung and this is the closest you can get in Omaha. Highly recommend their scallion pancakes, chili oil sesame noodles, fried rice, and steamed shumai. You can't go wrong. The service has always been really quick and positive every time I've gone as well. read more

I love trying to find yummy Chinese food in new places I go. Saw this and it said fresh so I thought noodles would be fresh made. But I was disappointed they weren't handmade noodles. The soup wasn't a savory or flavorful as I was hoping. However, the beef cold dish appetizer was pretty good. The place was packed when I went. Seems like lots of locals love this place. Server was friendly too. Might have to go back and try the dumplings and baos to see how they taste. read more

Dumpling Empire is hands down one of my all-time favorite spots when I'm craving dumplings, buns, or honestly just a comforting, flavorful meal. I've ordered from here multiple times and also had the chance to dine in, and every experience has been consistently amazing. Let me start with the vegetarian buns -- they are incredible. These are not just "good for vegetarian" - they are hands-down delicious in their own right, regardless of your dietary preferences. The dough is pillowy, soft, and perfectly steamed with just the right bounce. Inside, the filling is generous, savory, and beautifully seasoned. You can tell the veggies are fresh and thoughtfully mixed -- there's no filler or blandness. It's flavorful, hearty, and perfectly balanced. I've tried a lot of buns in the area, and these are absolutely top-tier. They hold together well, don't fall apart or get soggy, and are amazing whether you eat them fresh or reheat later (yes, I've done both!). What keeps me coming back again and again is not just the buns, but how everything on their menu is solid. From the pan-fried dumplings to the noodle soups, every single dish I've tried has been consistently delicious. It's rare to find a place where you can close your eyes, point at something on the menu, and know it'll be good. That's what Dumpling Empire delivers. I've ordered delivery/takeout many times, and the quality has always held up. The packaging is secure and practical -- nothing arrives spilled or cold. But I recently decided to finally go in and dine at the restaurant, and I'm so glad I did. The place is clean, simple, and has a calm, pleasant vibe. There's no over-the-top decor -- just a neat, cozy space that makes you feel welcome. Whether you're grabbing a quick bite or settling in for a full meal, it's a comfortable place to eat. And then there's the staff. Super friendly, attentive, and genuinely warm. You don't feel rushed or like just another order number. They take their time, offer suggestions if you're new, and always greet you with a smile. Even when it's busy, they handle things gracefully and maintain a great energy. It's the kind of hospitality that makes you want to support a place long-term. Another thing I appreciate is how vegetarian-friendly the menu is. A lot of places throw in a token veggie dumpling and call it a day, but Dumpling Empire actually puts effort into making vegetarian options flavorful and satisfying. I've recommended it to both vegetarian and meat-eating friends, and everyone comes away impressed. Honestly, it's hard to choose a favorite dish, because everything is good. I usually start with the veggie buns (a must), then maybe get some pan-fried veggie dumplings or a bowl of noodle soup. The portion sizes are generous, prices are super fair, and you leave feeling full but not heavy. Whether you're ordering in or dining out, Dumpling Empire is a gem. It's rare to find a place that nails food, service, ambiance, and consistency -- and this place does it all with ease. I'm already looking forward to my next visit. read more

My girlfriends and I came here after hearing about it on Instagram, and it did not disappoint. We ordered several dishes so we could try a variety, and everything came out fresh, hot, and absolutely delicious. Since we ordered quite a bit, the staff did a great job pacing the food so it never felt overwhelming. The crab rangoons were light and incredibly tasty, and the tri-color dumplings were not only beautiful but also full of flavor. Also for the 6 dishes that we ordered that were slightly larger in portions and the price under $80.00 it was well worth it! We will definitely be coming back! read more

Food was incredible. The menu has some great options everyone will like. Very fast service and great atmosphere. Will be coming back!

DELICIOUS!! I love finding restaurants in strip malls that seem under the radar but are so worth it! We were seated right away. The ambiance is nothing crazy, but feels very clean and we liked the wall artwork. All the food was delicious! We ordered all vegetarian, except for the garlic chicken with noodles. Would order everything again - but also want to return to try other offerings. Definitely recommend! read more

I'm so excited for a delicious dumpling place that serves soup dumplings! This place was new, busy, clean, and so yummy! The scallion pancakes could have been crispier but still decent. We were able to sub the flat noodles in the sichuan noodles and wow they were great! Not very spicy but good flavor. The soup dumplings were prepared well and definitely a must try. The pan fried pork dumplings were also fluffy and flavorful. The strange taste dumpling soup was also delicious. It is similar to your average spicy wonton soup but not very spicy. It was packed with flavor though so would definitely order again. The waitress was very attentive and sweet. The cooks made a mistake, and she quickly corrected it. It was a very busy evening with a long line waiting for tables by the time we left so we gave them so slack. We definitely will be returning for the same dishes and to try some more! read more

Large location and when we got there (5pm on the weekend), it was packed which is great for a new business. I'd like to come back and try some more things, but nothing specifically wowed us. Nothing was bad, but there wasn't anything in particular I'd say "I need to get this again" to. read more

My visit started as just a recommendation from a coworker, but I could not have been more impressed! Walking in, the restaurant has a super comfortable atmosphere. Casual, cozy. The staff was incredibly kind and polite and knowledgeable about the menu. Speedy service too! We got shrimp tempura, a wonton soup, and two orders of pan fried dumplings. This soup made me grin like an idiot. I cannot begin to explain how delicious it was. The broth and wontons were perfect! The dumplings were also pretty dang incredible. I will definitely be stopping in again soon, especially for the price. All of our food plus two beers totaled out to be less than $60. Not bad for date night. Whoever is running this place, you're doing everything right!! read more

This is one of my new favorite spots on rotation for dinners out with our two toddlers. There is a lot of food here that my two year old and ten month old like to eat (noodles, veggies, soup dumplings and dim sum, scallion pancakes, etc). They are very accommodating with kids and have multiple high chairs with straps available in the restaurant which is always much appreciated by our family. I personally love the spicy cucumber appetizer and the eggplant too! The sauce that they come in is great for dipping the scallion pancakes and dumplings! It can get pretty busy especially for dinner on the weekends if you are coming right around 6 you might need to wait for a little while for a table. read more

First off I want to start by saying the food here is good! Service on the other hand is god awful! We ordered online and were told it would be a 20 minute wait. Showed up 20 minutes later and was told it will be out in a few minutes. After waiting 20 extra minutes inside I went to the counter and was trying to get the attention of any employee working. They all looked at me and kept walking away. Who does that?? If the food won't be ready in 20 minutes then don't tell the customer it will be ready in 20 minutes. This is the second time that has happened. I guess if you want food from here you need to wait inside for a seat and just eat at the restaurant. read more

It was after a long day where we crave for something heartwarming and we came across Dumpling Empire. The tri-color dumplings are great. The dumpling skin is very thin and the fillings are good. Make sure to ask for chili oil or black vinegar to eat along with that. Next, we had the steamed tri-color dumplings that are packed with filling, with thin skin. We also ordered the spicy noodle and kau pao chicken. The spicy noodle is not really spicy but it has tangy chili peanut oil. The kau pao chicken is okay. Overall, the place is comfortable and we're happy with the food and great service. Looking forward for new food addition to the menu! read more

Dumpling empire had a very welcoming and casual atmosphere, the service was great. Servers were attentive and the food came out quickly and everything was steaming hot. I definitely want to return to try out more of what they have to offer. We got the cucumber salad, which was refreshing and flavorful. The spring rolls were crispy and light. The tri-color soup dumplings were steamed to perfection. The sleeper hit though was the strange flavor soup with dumplings. It was incredible, savory ginger broth with a little spicy note. Definitely craveable and so comforting. read more
