Great food and services! Been there couples time recently with friends and coworkers. It's a great place and convenient location to dine out whether for business or casual meals. The dishes are delicious and look elegant.. yet price is fair & reasonable! Definitely a place I will go more often now on....good alternative than going to Flushing!

Had the first meal when back in Long Island, NY, and it was quite an experience! The Cantonese waiter was exceptionally warm and polite, contributing to a comfortable and elegant dining atmosphere. However, the dishes tended to be on the sweeter side, but overall, it was a decent experience. Convenient parking was definitely a plus! Will be back!

Great experience. The food is so fresh. The service is fantastic! You can get sushi, too. Highly recommend! Get the sesame chicken!

The restaurant has changed its owner recently with some new dishes on the menu. Checked it out today with a group of friends and had a great experience! Authentic flavors, generous portions, and warm, attentive service. Especially the sesame ball which we all loved so much! Easily one of the best Chinese restaurants in town. Can’t wait to come back!

If you have ever fantasized about Flushing-style dining without the bumper-to-bumper parking wars, this place is your mash-up dream, and now with sushi and dim sum in the mix, it's basically a pan-Asian buffet for decision fatigue. Sure, I could drive into the heart of Queens for the real Flushing pilgrimage, but sometimes I just want quality Shanghai soup dumplings, honey walnut shrimp, or a bowl of wonton soup without an existential parking debate. And honestly? They actually deliver: from soup dumplings and shrimp dumplings to classics like sesame chicken and Roast Pork Lo Mein, it hits way above your typical suburban take-out, without thinning your wallet. This year, under the new management, they have even added sushi rolls (yes, California Rolls slide in alongside the dim sum), so the whole family can be content. It's like your craving said "I want everything," and someone actually listened. Bottom line: When I do want Flushing, I'll schlep there. But for the 9 out of 10 times that I want great dumplings, crispy orange beef, and even a sushi fix, without circling like it's a derby, this spot scratches that itch perfectly... smartly tucked into Syosset.

We were so well fed with lunch special, wonton soup is absolutely delicious! Dim sum too! The egg yolk bun serves as a great dessert. We both appreciate our main dishes without excessive corn starch and salt. Will definitely go back and try some meat dishes and sushi! Nice comfy dining seats too

Empire Szechuan was my absolute favorite Chinese food place for the longest time. I was very sad when it closed down. I had moved further away and never noticed the same location had reopened under this new name. I have to say, they must have the same chefs or something because the food is still the best around and they still have Peking Duck! Everything I've had from there has been top notch, yes it may be a little pricier than other places but you absolutely get what you paid for. The atmosphere is also really nice, they did a great job with decorating and upkeep. Servers have always been attentive and super nice. Really nothing to complain about except I wish I could eat there everyday XD 10/10!
