Dim Sum Alert

Portland will soon have a dim sum restaurant, according to the Press Herald's Maine a la Carte blog, as Empire Chinese Kitchen is planning to open Sept. 12 at 575 Congress Street. A "Dim Sum Master Chef" from San Fran will head the kitchen, according to a press release. Many moons ago, the space was a Chinese restaurant called The Empire. More recently, it was Empire Dine and Dance. [PPH]
