The food is always fresh and delicious. I wish i found them sooner!! They have an extensive menu of some unique items, always consistent and excellent. I am super picky about Chinese, easily in the top 3 best on long Island. I love the 4 seasons with spinach but , all seafood, dim sum is just sooo good! Enjoy this local gem.

Been coming here for years. Best Chinese in area. Not sure why people are judging the restaurant on appearance since most take out places aren’t always up to date. Awesome flavors and always fresh. The sesame chicken is juicy white chicken and great taste. Not chewy like most places.

Empire Ginger, is known for having the best dumplings on The Island, and they definitely do, but don't sleep on the rest of their menu, incredible soups, chef specialties dishes, etc. if you're in the Hauppauge Smithtown area, great, if not, they're worth the trip.

We order from Empire Ginger at least once week! All the food is great! We usually have it delivered and they’re always prompt and courteous! Jen usually takes our order and she is always so sweet! She always goes out of her way to make sure that my son gets his fortune cookies and is very concerned that my other son has a shellfish allergy. I don’t have to tell her each week about his shellfish allergy because she knows and she remembers. You must try this place! Empire Ginger, the food is delicious and you’ll be pleasantly surprised! Bon appétit!

I love this place with all my heart. Used to come here all the time when family lived nearby. The people who own the place are incredibly hard working and generous and the food tastes of it. Do not pass it up even if you had plans to go somewhere else.

I love Empire Ginger. It is a family runned business and the family is so nice. They make the BEST Chinese food in Smithtown. I love their dumplings. You can get chicken, pork or shrimp and they are always steamed to perfection. For the past 3 years I have been in a battle against cancer and Empire Ginger has been such a help. Not only with money, but when I am not feeling good their food is like medicine to me. It warms me up. Empire Ginger is the best Chinese restaurant on Long Island!
