Empire Ginger
Empire Ginger, located at 4913 294 Maple Ave in Smithtown, NY, has earned a reputation for being a top-notch dining spot in the area. Known especially for its impeccable dumplings, this restaurant is a must-visit for anyone in the Hauppauge and Smithtown regions, and it’s certainly worth the trip if you're from elsewhere. The flavors are consistently praised for being fresh and well-balanced, and Empire Ginger’s menu goes far beyond dumplings to include a variety of chef’s specialties and delicious soups that locals rave about. Whether you're in the mood for something hearty or light, you'll find plenty of options to satisfy your cravings.
One standout feature of Empire Ginger is its customer service, which consistently receives high marks. Many patrons note the restaurant’s attentive and friendly staff, such as Jen, who is well-loved for her care and consideration.

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.
katherine murray
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.
Glenn Reeder
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!
Barbara Slocki
Love they egg drop soup well seasoned don’t taste like hot water n eggs like most places love they food also
Felicia Rich
Great food which is very tasty. Very reasonable prices. Food comes out quick. Another great Chinese Restaurant in Smithtown, NY. Very close to home being in the Maple Commons shopping center.
Ryan Samuel
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.
Matthew Smalley
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!
