"No matching records found" remains after table population

The "No matching records found" row remains on my table, even though data has been loaded.

The table is defined as follows:

<table  datatable dt-options="gvc.dtOptions" class="table table-striped">
<thead>
<tr>
    <th data-priority="1">Alert Time</th>
    <th data-priority="2">Description</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr ng-repeat="alert in gvc.recentAlerts">
    <td>{{alert.alert_time}}</td>
    <td>{{alert.sent_text}}</td>
</tr>
</tbody>

And the dtOptions as follows in the controller:

    self.dtOptions = DTOptionsBuilder.newOptions()
  .withDOM('t')
  .withOption('scrollY', '200px')
  .withOption('scrollCollapse', true)
  .withOption('paging', false)
  .withOption('bSort', false)
  .withOption('responsive', true);

Any ideas as to why it is remaining?

If you are you using Angular2 or higher, Component level SCSS or CSS (Not global level ),

::ng-deep table.dataTable td.dataTables_empty {
            display: none;
        }
