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

From the moment we walked in we were greeted with a hello and a happy smile. The ambiance is charming, and very tidy - however the star is the food. Prompt quick service with pipping hot dishes that all were fantastic. We will be back!!!! 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

My husband suggested this place after seeing a news clip. We decided to come during the week after work (around 5:30pm) and we came at the right time. We were greeted and seated right away. Shortly after our arrival, it was full and they had to open up outdoor tables. I ordered pork dumplings and my husband ordered tri-colored dumplings. The dumplings were fresh and delicious. read more

Yum! I was so excited to try this new Chinese Dumpling spot (Old Franks Pizzeria location on 72nd) and it was outstanding! Wait staff was excellent, the place was poppin the entire 2 hours 6pm-8pm we were there on Wednesday July 10th! It's very clean, updated interior, and ALL the food was on point! Food came out hot, quick, and so flavorful! Plenty of parking out front in the lot, in door & outdoor seating, and plenty of seating in general. Lots of options to choose from, we tried a little bit of everything! read more

Ok, so after having another friend suggest going here the day after, and another friend saying it was good, I tried it again. The pork stir fry noodles are very good. I got the soup dumplings this time and they were also very good. I tried the cucumber salad and enjoyed the couple bites I had. My partner loved the noodles in chili oil, but wasn't expecting them to be cold. She still really liked it. Friends got dishes they all enjoyed - I tried a crab Rangoon and it was great. I did see that not only are the noodles made in house, but the dumplings were being made in house, too. You can see into that part of the kitchen from the dining room, while the hot area of the kitchen is behind closed doors. Service was still good. I had to get the server's attention for a refill once but he wasn't ignoring us by any means. So after a second try, updating from 4 to 5 stars. I still think the cha siu bao are too expensive for what they are, but the noodles, soup dumplings, and crab Rangoon brought it up to a 5. read more

Our book club of 8 met here and we all agreed that it is a must return dinner! Our favorites were the eggplant and the Strange soup. It wasn't strange at all. Several layers of complex flavors like you'd get in a high end pho. i'm not sure how else to explain the broth. Definitely try it out. read more

Very busy at 3pm, but well worth the wait. After being sat we had to wait a little while for service but it gave us time to have all of our food picked out. We choose to try several different dishes, and are so glad we did. The food was great and loved everything we tired, but the cucumber salad was outta this world! Once we placed our food order, or dishes came out one after the other in a very timely manner which gave us time to enjoy every dish we order. We will definitely be back, and can't wait to try more! read more

Service is really good. Food is amazing! Try soup dumplings and beef buns! The veggie buns are excellent. The cucumber salad is SO GOOD!!

Dumpling empire delivers a much needed infusion of Asian flavors to Omaha. We went shortly after their grand opening and we were lucky to get a seat because not long after people were left waiting though I'm sure they did not regret it. We sampled as much of the menu we could fit and then some! The scallion pancakes were good the XLB were fun colors and perfectly soupy on the inside without breakage of the dumpling. The pan fried dumplings were good with the table sauces and both noodles were excellent. In fact the noodles beef noodles were even better the next day after the flavors marinated for longer. Will be back many more times read more

We were supposed to be eating Christmas dinner, but early in the morning on Christmas Day my wife came down with a sinus infection. So we packed up the Forester and drove from Minnesota back to Nebraska. 4 and 1/2 hours into the trip, she was feeling a little better...and hungry. So we stopped at Dumpling Empire. We were seated immediately, by a friendly waiter. We ordered the Kung Pao Chicken, the cucumber salad, and the pan fried dumplings. The ambience was festive with Christmas music playing in the background and about 15 other patrons eating steamed buns, dumplings, and rice dishes. Our nine month old was in a high chair playing with a Pepsi cup. The cucumbers came out within minutes of ordering and were a good mix of oil-and-vegetable flavor. Minutes later, the Kung Pao chicken came out. There was a slight spice to it but it was way more sweet than mouth-numbingly spicy. I lived on Kung Pao chicken for 3 Days in Chendu China, close to the birthplace of kung pao chicken. This was a far cry from that, far too few Sichuan peppercorns...but it was my wife's order and she ate 2/3 of it to my 1/3. The pan-fried dumplings were good but slightly greasy, I'd like to try the steamed tricolor dumplings and steamed buns next time. Overall it was a nice experience and I would return to try other items on their menu. PS During our visit we needed to change our 9 month old's diaper, the bathroom was clean and included changing stations that were a cut above rest stop options. read more

Been here 3 times in the last 2 weeks. Absolutely love this place. The food is so good. I always get kung pao chicken. Amazing portions. The cost is great, especially since I'm able to take over half home. My daughter loves the pan fried pork dumplings. She never takes them home, always finishes. Our server Ben was fantastic. On top of everything. Have told so many people about it. You won't regret going. read more

The food was amazing ! My favorite was the tri color steam soup buns! It left a taste in my mouth that I can never forgot the place was clean! The service was excellent, the owner/manager saw my kids dropped some food and was very kind to come say I didn't have to pick it up while I was cleaning. it is very hard to find family friendly places that have delicious food so definitely a plus that he was very kind to us even with kids :) read more

This little dumpling place is the only place to go if u are wanting dumplings! The restaurant is well taken care of and very clean. We tried several dishes, all of which were good. But what I will b going back for are the soup dumplings and eggplant. We originally wanted the cucumbers but their shipment did not come in so they were out. Our server talked us into the eggplant which was seasoned the same way. It was excellent. And my daughter who does not eat many veggies, ate a lot of this. As we were sitting there a man came in just to order the cucumbers so I'm going to assume they are awesome like the eggplant. The soup dumplings are a must; tender and delicious filled with a yummy meat and broth. So many more items on the menu I want to try so we will be going back! read more

Second time ever getting dumpling empire, very good food. We got pork dumplings, soup, chicken fried rice, and crabrangoon. They did fry the crabrangoon a little too long to where they were pretty much all empty, but the first time I got them they were not like this. Very good overall! Will be going again. read more

Carry Out Order: have eaten in the Resturant before and it was delicious, clean with a friendly staff. Tonight we did carry out. Food was ready when we got there. Packaged great and still yummy after a 20 minute drive home. We all ordered different items and didn't find a flaw. The chicken fried rice is by far my favorite in town. The dumplings just melt and are the reason this is the dumpling empire. read more

Authentic dumplings stuffed and folded by hand, visible as you walk through the front door. Cold sesame noodles cool and creamy and even better when I ate the leftovers. The combo fried rice was a large and tasty portion. Crab Rangoons are large and slightly sweet. And the spring rolls were cooked and perfect! Will definitely be making this a frequent eatery. Service was quick an and food came out promptly after ordering. We sat outside and they brought out everything for us. So glad to find this place! read more

Homemade noodles are great! Value for money is very good and servers are really sweet

Fantastic food and service little higher in cost but totally worth it atmosphere is very good

This is a new eatery that offers fresh dumplings and buns while you wait. Service was fine from beginning to end. The food process was a bit slow, and the spicy noodle soup with beef was just above par in my opinion. The leak pancakes were decent, and the steamed dumplings were pretty good. Overall, I would give this only 4 stars even though my previous Yelpers gave it a 5 five star rating. read more

All the food was a 10/10, would like to emphasize that the cucumber salad might've been the best thing I've ever had in my life. Literally had to take home the sauce. The dishes came out fast, service was great, and everything was affordable. Def coming back highly recommend read more

My husband and I are here on the Fourth of July when we were in Omaha from out of town and they were one of the few restaurants open on the holiday. The tri color soup buns were some of the best pork soup dumplings we've ever had and we really enjoyed ourselves. The spring rolls were also excellent. read more

When my husband suggested this restaurant, I'll admit I didn't get too excited until he said noodles. We decided to try the spot on a gloomy Saturday around their opening time. The restaurant quickly filled up, but service was quick and food came out as ordered. The highlight of the meal for me were the cucumbers which featured a sauce that I will definitely be craving until I return. We also tried the tri-color dumplings, the strange taste soup, and the chili oil sesame noodles. The strange taste soup definitely had some interesting flavors, but was liked by both of us overall. I loved the chili oil sesame noodles, but I do wish there was a little more chili oil. These noodles come out cool and it works! Entree prices average about $10 a piece, making this a good lunch or dinner spot. read more

Wow, authentic northern Chinese cuisine in a strip mall in Omaha! As a Chinese who grew up in Asia, this is the real thing. My wife and I stumbled on this humble little restaurant while driving across the Northern Plains and I couldn't believe what I was tasting. It's not just a matter of knowing how to cook, but also to get the correct ingredients to cook with. The beef shank (beef salad) came first and blew me away. It comes with a wonderful chili sauce. Chinese chili sauce is not meant to be fiery. It has a nice kick, but mostly important, it is oh so flavorful. The cucumber salad comes with a slightly sweeter base, same sauce but with a sprinkling of sugar. The chili oil noodle also has a chili base, but with a few drops of vinegar for a different nuance. Oh yes, the noodle is hand pulled. Finding this gem has complicated my itinerary. We'll have to organize our return trip to include dinner in Omaha. read more

I knew this was going to be good but WOW! Blown away by the menu, the flavor but holy cow, the service! Even my 11 year old noticed how great everything was from the second we walked in, how we were taken care of and just how tasty the food was!!! read more

Everything was delicious! Only giving 4 stars because I do wish they had a vegetarian option for dumplings. They had the vegetable Bao Buns, which were okay, but if you're coming here for the dumplings, there is no vegetarian option. Hopefully someday! read more

I ABSOLUTELY recommend this place ! read more

I'd like to start this with stating that I'm 40 years old and have traveled all over the place and this place might be one of the best places I've ever eaten. We started off our meal with the cucumber salad, which was soaked in a bath of chili crunch and soy and was to die for. We also got the tri colored soup dumplings. They were incredible, busting with soup and pork inside. It was the first time ever ever had a dumpling with soup in it so it was a bit of a surprise. Lastly, I had the combination stir fry noodle that was out of this world with perfect cooked meat and homemade noodles. My wife had the chicken fried rice and it might have been some of the best we've ever had. Please check this place out if you're in the area you won't be disappointed!!! read more

From California and trying to find good dim sum in Omaha. Heard about this place on social media. We ordered combo stir fry noodles which was good. I noticed a difference in the noodles and confirmed they were freshly made in house. The Shumai were fresh but different than what I've had in California. Still loved them. We also enjoyed the egg roles and sesame balls. We will definitely be coming back to try more menu items. read more

The food was very yummy and definitely exceeded my expectations. The pan fried dumplings were super juicy and the dumpling lace was crispy but not burnt. The soup buns were filled with actual soup! The flavors of the dumplings/buns were light but not bland. The beef roll's scallion pancake shell was crispy and flakey. The beef might look a little dry, but it's actually really soft and tender! I was excited for this dish since I've only seen it on tik tok! Lastly, the eggplant salad was refreshing! It might look spicy bc of the chili oil, but it was pretty mild! Our server was super attentive and kind and our food came out very fast! I like the open kitchen concept bc you get to see the chefs make the dumplings. Pricing was very reasonable for how good the food is, and a lot cheaper than what you'll find in the bigger cities. read more

I didn't know about this place until my friend raved about it to me! I had the soup dumplings and the pad Thai, and was pleasantly impressed taste wise. There was a pretty moderate wait time for getting in, so heads up on that. I'm unsure if they accept reservations or not! It was a nice set up inside too, you can watch them make the dumplings in an open kitchen. read more
