I understand it is a holiday so I do cut them a little slack. We ordered NYE dinner at 8pm via the online option on their website. It gave us directions to pick up in 20 mins. We got there at 830 pm. The man behind the counter says 20 mins more, once again I understand its a holiday so we go back to the car. We go back at 850pm again he says 20 minutes. My wife was the short straw puller that had to deal with them as I would have probably been a little short with them. At 920 he brings up the food and my wife checks it to make sure everything is there, it isnt. We ordered the rib complete meal, he informs my wife they do not sell that after 5... it let us order it on their website, he didnt tell us that when we walked in and he checked the receipt, a $91.00 order and 90 minutes of wait time and he tells us our order is not complete?!?! Unacceptable! To be honest when we finally ate the food was really good but the customer service was so lacking that we would not be back.
I’ve done take out a couple of times and this is the best chicken and broccoli around. I’ve tried at least 8 different places around me trying to find the best and this is by far the leader.
Ive gone many many times to eat in, now we do takeout. The food is delicious, & its hard to find an eatin Chinese restaurant where the food makes you want to go back again. The service is great & the owner very friendly & accommodating.
The food was really tasty. The dining room is nice--but theres still no indoor dining because of the COVID safety protocols and the possibility that Nassau will reinstitute lockdowns with the cold and flu season approaching. As such, their take-out and delivery business can get really busy during dinner hours--especially on the weekends. (I called at 5:45PM on a Saturday to pick-up a simple order of fried rice and chow fun. I didnt leave the restaurant until 6:30PM..
Its a great Chinese food restaurant. Many variety of Chinese food to choose from, all is quality, and delicious. Clean,a little pricey. Has a parking lot. Highly recommended.
The one star is not for the food I would give that 4 stars. I went for the lunch menu on a Monday afternoon the place was pretty empty but the server we has was terrible he didnt even greet himself properly or even had a decent personality, after he took our order he didnt even ask if we wanted anything to drink like a soda or beer or water for that matter, he was the type of waiter that your afraid to ask him for anything extra like napkins.. When I received the bill he didnt even return my change assuming it was for his tip most servers ask if you need change.. I have to say Ive been to alot of restaurants in my time had real bad server to a point when I talked to the manger but this guy was terrible....
The best Chinese food in our area! Delicious food, prompt and friendly service. Our favorites are Wontons with Spicy Chili Sauce, Happy Family, Szechuan Chicken, Chicken Fried Rice and Sesame Chicken.
Ordered beef with asparagus and a spring roll . Spring roll was raw as were the asparagus in the meal . My bill was 19.00 with I believed should have been a large order it was a small. When I called to complain I was told that is the size, the brown sauce on the beef had no flavor tasted like it came out of a can . Never again
Ordered online. Pick up time 30mins. I got there was told not ready give 20 more minutes it was busy. Checked back told not ready another 20 minutes. Half hr later finally got food. I understand it was busy and a holiday but should not have accepted orders if they couldnt fulfill them in a timely manner. Did even offer anything as I sat there for.nearly an hour .
Went there a while back food was excellent, just ordered food tonight and its not good . I went to pick up food and when I walked in 2 workers where sleeping in the dining room at the tables, and looked at me closed there eyes and went back to sleep! Some man came in after asked if they had carbon monoxide poisoning lol and he woke them up! Food was poor quality for the money you can get this quality from any cheap take out place. Chicken over cooked very dry, also ordered pad Thai which had sweet and sour sauce on it, I eat this all the time it doesnt come like that. Total disappointment! I wont be back !
I recently ordered a pickup at empire garden. On dec 30. This was at 430 in the afternoon so it wasnt busy. The guy took my order and I told him no mushrooms in an of my dishes,I wanted the hand made little cup.he said fine an gave me a price .I was very disappointed he didnt give me any mustard at all. I dont care that they raised the prices 30 % .but dont yes me an not send any mustard. I will stop buying from there again.as good as the food is I dont care.there always rushing to get of the phone. Well they wont have to worry about me.i will not call again
I ordered the wantons with spicy chili sauce, I have no words... they were like nothing I’ve ever had, SO DELICIOUS!!! I’ve been going to Empire Garden for years and I’ve always had a reason to come back. Best Chinese food😍☺️🥢
I used to order from this place very often but the food was too greasy and tasted weird so I stop ordering .Today I order because is Christmas Eve and did not have time to make a meal. WELL, they send me the wrong thing and when I called they told me that I order the other thing and that they will give me a credit. I dont want a credit. I will never go back to that place. I want my money back and I want them to take their food away. They also did not give me a receipt so Im going to have to fight this at the restaurant tomorrow,on Christmas Day .Do not go there.
Best food my friends and I have had in a long time. Server offered a refill of crispy noodles. Thats a first for me. All around good experience. Recommend it to someone who still craves the Chinese Restaurant of old
Its my first time going there. It was recommend to me by a friend who told me its was very good. I bought the chicken and broccoli and its very good. Def. going back again soon. Also the service and ambiance was very appealing.
Waited over 70 minutes for the food to be delivered. Double what we were told. I eat chinese food at least 3x a week all over this country, as I am a long haul truck driver. Never ever thought Id have to write a negative review on a Chinese restaurant in NY. Fried dumplings were almost completely dough , scallion pancakes were like rubber , fried wontons were hard little brickets and my crab rangoon were cold inside. This was the last meal I am able to eat before 2 days of medical testing. Really put me in a bad mood. You guys should consider opening a Subway instead.
Great quality food, Very nicely decorated ,very clean and great service. Cant ask more than that from a restaurant. Definitely deserves you to try it.
I ordered the beef and broccoli from this place and the dish did not have enough sauce making it dry and greasy instead. The brown rice had an unusual odor too. Never going back there again!
MY FOOD WAS sooo GREASY!! Even my soup was greasy. My food was so greasy I had to wipe my lips after each bite!! Stale fortune cookies and plain general tso. Egg rolls were plain yuck!! The egg roll shell itself was very thin and slippery. i passed it over to someone that was hungry. My co workers and I ordered delivery and the driver stood there with his hand on hip(attitude) until he received his money then stormed out. Our experience overall was GREASY YUCKINESS!! The lady on the phone was nice tho.
Food was absolutely excellent this is the 3rd Chinese place i found in the area and this has got to be the best one yet the other 2 i found just dont compare to the great quality of meat this place uses i actually gave up on Chinese food until i found this placeEnough said
I enjoyed the take out meal we had. I had a vegetarian dish which was really tasty. Portion sizes were generous. Id go back.
Third time visiting, Usually have it delivered. Food is always up to standard. Speedy delivery. Pleasant staff. Nice decor at the location. Bar plus parking up front and on the side streets
A family favorite of ours. This is a great little spot with delicious foods. The dinner specials are great and my favorite is the triple flavors chicken. Definitely check it out.
Excellent food. Nice and fresh. The staff also professional and friendly. Cost is mid range but worth it.
Excellent food at a moderate price. Ive never been disappointed. Definitely a place to break for lunch!

2022-07-01I adore this place. The food is of exemplary quality with good portion sizes, and everything is always packaged well for takeout. The fellow that takes orders on the phone is quite polite as well! They have some of the best tasting Chicken Fried Rice and General Tsos chicken in the area, and Im a big fan of their Chicken and Broccoli.

2021-11-13Young ladies who greet you at door are just too presumptuous... if you do not know customers name dont make it up... oily food can lead to quick trip to toilet, even sometimes before you finish eating
