I was hoping not to have to make this review but after yesterday I feel I should so the owner or manager can over see and change. The first time my takeout order was messed up they forgot the brown rice completely from my dish. No napkins, forks or spoons. Then the second time yesterday no napkins forks or spoons for a 54$ order. That to me seems intentional or petty not accidentally. Never ordering here again. Prices are TRIPPLE the amount anyway we deserve utensils!

Delivery was so fast and nice but sadly food was oily and salty. Price is not match to food quality.

Visiting East coast, I wanted authentic Chinese cooking like I remembered growing up there. I wasn't disappointed.

It's become quite difficult to find a sit down Chinese restaurant in Queens, so we had to venture into New Hyde Park & we're glad we found this place! We were pleasantly surprised by the large menu that included several vegetarian options. The portions were large and included carrots in the shape of a flower. They have a lunch menu until 3PM.

Place was near empty. Food is actually quite good here. Recommend the beef szechuan and mixed veggies with potato, Chinese style

Empire Garden – A Hidden Gem That Feels Like Home
Let me start off by saying this: I’ve had Chinese food in over 20 states across the country, and Empire Garden continues to stand out as my absolute favorite. It’s not just the food—it’s the entire experience that keeps me coming back, time and time again.
Let’s talk lunch. Empire Garden offers fantastic lunch specials that are hard to beat. You get a hearty, satisfying meal that comes with your choice of soup or an egg roll—perfect for a quick break in the day that doesn’t compromise on quality or flavor.
Every dish I’ve ever had here has been nothing short of exceptional. The flavors are bold, rich, and perfectly balanced. You can truly taste the freshness in every bite. From classic favorites to house specialties, every plate is prepared with high-quality ingredients and real attention to detail. This isn’t your average takeout—it’s Chinese cuisine elevated.
What really sets Empire Garden apart, though, is the atmosphere. It’s one of the few Chinese restaurants with a truly lovely dine-in area. The seating is cozy and inviting, making it an ideal spot for a casual dinner with family or friends. Whether you’re dining in or taking out, it feels like a place where you’re genuinely welcomed.
And speaking of being welcomed—the service here is out of this world. The young gentleman behind the counter and every staff member treats you like family. It’s rare these days to find a place where the hospitality feels so genuine. Every visit reminds me how lucky we are to have a business like this in our community. Their warmth, kindness, and consistently incredible food make every visit something to look forward to.
Thank you, Empire Garden, for all that you do. You’ve earned a lifelong customer in me.

Came for lunch special. Fried rice with boneless spareribs. The fried rice tasted like plain brown rice. Really bad.
Excellent food and service.
