There is a free parking lot in front as the restaurant shares the lot with other stores in a strip mall. I really liked how most of the menu has pictures of the items so you know what you're ordering. We both ordered from the Lunch Special (Mon-Fri 11:30AM-3PM: $15 for an appetizer, protein and main course). I ordered the Spring Rolls (2 pieces) and Pad See Ew with Shrimp (came with 4 pieces of shrimp). Everything was delicious, flavorful and freshly made. I also ordered the Thai Iced Tea which came in this cute ball shaped glass and was delicious. Our server was very nice and patient with us. The decor inside the restaurant was very cute and there was plenty of natural light coming in. There was limited seating inside as it's not very big but there was also some seating outside. My friend was also very happy with her food, especially her Tom Yum soup. I would definitely return to try other menu items!

Really love this hole-in-the-wall restaurant. They serve fresh and good eats. Seating is usually…read morelimited, but if you do get a spot it feels light and airy and like you're in a tropical oasis. They have lots of cocktails at affordable prices and a variety of dishes. All of their curries are fantastic and come with a small bowl of rice. My favorite appetizer is their "money bags." I recently tried their pineapple fried rice and it was perfect. Wish it had a few more pineapple chunks as my bestie and I shared the bowl. The servers are excellent especially if you have any allergies. I can't eat shellfish and they'll thoroughly check before placing your order. Their Thai iced tea is really tasty and comes in cute cups. They're easy to "down," so pace yourself in order to enjoy it with your meal. They have a small bar area that fills up fast when tables are occupied. And there is a bathroom tucked in the corner that feels like you're on a train when inside of it. It feels like it's rumbling because of the fan. Perfect for an escape on the beaten path! Happy eats!

Given the culinary brilliance here, if you order one of your favorites, it'll be done well, but you're better off trying something unique that might not be on the menu at your local Chinese, Indian or Thai spot. Chili tofu and basil ginger fish were two great showcases for the complex spices available here. (I'm a real American hero, I ate fourths since my parents preferred leftovers that didn't have the top spice levels). And if you're spice-adverse yet chili-curious, the honey chili potato is worth a shot. These are essentially fries. Our server, Ten, was amazing. He adeptly handled the multiple time frames of our orders and is ready to provide suggestions for those who didn't spend 40 minutes researching on Yelp. Part 2. I wish there was editing capability for older reviews. I'm a two-sentence guy - are there fish tacos, does it have strange hours of operation and will they sneer at me for wearing Kohls? - and my first Kunga Kitchen attempt was a bit extra. It even had a narrative arc. I'm someone who thinks movies can be better if the character doesn't change or learn anything, but I tried for three-act structure and can't possibly top that original review so it would be better if I could a couple of recent entrees to the first one.

Our family moved to Long Island, Suffolk County a few years ago and we truly miss authentic Asian food from Queens neighborhoods such as Bayside, Elmhurst and Flushing. We were thrilled when we landed on this hidden gem after moving to LI and found out this family moved their restaurant to Syosset, NY. If you are in the mood for Asian family-style meals, especially Taiwanese cuisine, we highly recommend Eatery 19 in Long Island.

***AUTHENTIC TAIWANESE STYLE CUISINE*** ***FRIENDLY…read moreWELCOMING SERVICE*** I DON'T UNDERSTAND IT You can't deny that New Yorkers love American style Chinese food. Look at any strip mall or shopping center, and it's almost guaranteed you'll find a Chinese take-out. Hell, if I had to guess, I'd say there are more than a thousand of these restaurants located in Nassau/Suffolk alone. Now Taiwanese food shares many similarities with authentic Chinese and American style Chinese. So if you're a fan of either of these, I'm sure you'll love what is being offered at a Taiwanese restaurant. So for me, it's hard to understand why there is only one Taiwanese restaurant offering a full size menu in all of Nassau and Suffolk counties combined. I mean, there's Mama Chan's, a restaurant / bar in Northport, that looks really interesting - but their 3/4 page menu of appetizers and entrees barely scratches an itch. And before Eatery 19 opened around five years ago, one would have to shlep all-the-way to Queens or Brooklyn from Long Island. Oy vey! GOOD GENES A full service authentic Taiwanese restaurant can't just magically materialize. And as it happens, the owners here are related to the family running Nan Bei Ho - one of the many popular Taiwanese restaurants in Bayside. But even with this lineage, Eatery 19 had a bit of a rough start, with a head chef that wasn't the most talented, and early reviews reflected this point. But not long after, a new chef took over the kitchen, and the cuisine has been maximally upgraded since. SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE I can't imagine someone not being able to find something they really enjoy on this fairly comprehensive menu, even if you're a Taiwanese food novice. There's a nice selection of Taiwanese street food appetizers such as popcorn chicken, oyster pancake, Taiwanese sausage, cold dishes, and a not-so-smelly fried stinky tofu. If spicy is your thing, there are great versions of shredded beef or pork with spicy green peppers, spicy diced chicken, shrimp or squid in spicy pepper sauce, and chef's special beef or fish filet in chili oil. And there are some pretty good kung pao dishes if that's your jammy. Interestingly enough, they don't serve fly heads (cang ying tou) here, but they have a fantastic spicy minced pork with dried tofu cubes dish as a consolation prize. On the non spicy front, there are a plethora of items, so I'll just mention some of the ones I've enjoyed. Starting off, I have to call it! Eatery 19 makes my all time favorite version of the famous Taiwanese three cup chicken. It's saucy and savory, with tender boneless chicken & lots of basil. Unquestionably, It's the best I've ever had - and I order this everywhere. In addition, a great seafood option is the perfectly fried & delicious salt and pepper fish filets. And I also need to mention that the chef here makes fantastic fried rice, with tons of wok hei and fresh ingredients - just give the egg and scallion fried rice a try and you'll see. In addition, the fried rice with Taiwanese sausage comes in a close second. Looking for even more tasty carbs? The Taiwanese stir fried rice noodles with their unique flavor is a solid choice. And if you're craving soup noodles, there's a solid braised beef noodle soup available daily. NOT JUST FOR DINNER Eatery 19 is a fantastic resource for grabbing a quick tasty lunch, with a large assortment of over rice dishes. and two Taiwanese railroad bentos with choice of pork chop or chicken leg, being served with braised pork rice, cabbage, pickled vegetables, marinated egg, and Taiwanese sausage. LUCKY TO HAVE THIS Look, Eatery 19 may not be a contender on the list of top Taiwanese restaurants in New York. And it' features a plain looking interior with half-way descent service. But taking all this into account, Long Islanders, are still quite lucky to experience this cuisine close to home. And to be honest, I feel privileged each time I visit this interesting authentic eatery.

The restaurant is medium sized, lots of booths, and was decorated for Valentine's Day. They take reservations and were pretty busy. Service was good, although a little slow at the beginning. I tried the following dishes: Cauliflower Manchurian (3/5): This dish was pretty good, but not amazing. I did enjoy it. Garlic Chili Noodles (3.5/5): Pretty good noodles, not very spicy but good flavor and consistency. Hakka Chili Chicken (4/5): I liked this chicken, but my dining partner did not. The chicken was boneless dark meat, which I really like. You can get it with no, light, or full gravy. We did full and had it with rice. I did enjoy this dish. Overall, I had a pretty good experience at HAKA. No dishes were real standouts, but they were all decent. It is not a bad option for Indo-Chinese in the area.

The menu has both indian and chinese dishes. It's not fusion just two different cuisines being sold. We ordered a roll that came with shrimp tempura, mango and salmon. It was very good, a warm grill that felt like a sandwich. The side galore noodles we ordered were dry and not very flavourful. We ordered shrimp with then and they came with fried/tempura shrimp, which we found odd. There was also egg on the dish but it did nothing for the noodles. We ordered the noodles regular so they should have had some sauce but there was none. The chicken dishes were both really good. The chicken wasn't overly fried or breaded. It tasted fresh and had a good bite to it. I like the spicy garlic chicken a bit more because of the spice. The haka chicken was more of a sweet and salty flavor. Both were tasty. If I'm in the area I'll come back here.

Same great service from the one & only server who does the job of three ppl- forgive me for not even knowing his name after all these years. This has become my go-to spot for the best Vietnamese spring rolls, summer rolls & bánh xèo. I absolutely love their perfectly fried vegetable spring rolls with peanut sauce, their pork & shrimp summer rolls taste fresh and their bánh xèo, which I request it to be made extra crispy- so freakin' good. Just found out in 2026 that it's actually not made with eggs, it's rice flour batter, oops. I also like their grilled angus beef satay with vermicelli noodles- very tasty. Not really a fan of their phở though my other half always get the xl size phở bò. Their classic bánh mì is not bad- I ask for extra pate & bread to be more toasted but it still has too many veggies, too little meat.

Also got the chicken banh mi which was very crispy and flavorful. Just a heads up, on the menu, they called it "vietnamese bread". In case you can't find it. Portions are huge, prices are fair (under $15 for a large that I can never finish), and the service is lightning fast and super friendly.

The service was excellent, the food delectable and the portions worthy of heavy Long Island eaters. We left with plenty of left overs to nosh on, well into the next day or two. Our winners were the Manchurian cauliflower, chicken tikka masala, chicken biryani, mixed grill platter and the lamb chops. Honestly everything was delicious, freshly prepared and really well seasoned. We did get a seafood soup that was a touch too salty, and a Kulfi dessert that was a little on the super sweet side. We have definitely had better naan's, that is probably the only item I would refrain from ordering here or at least ordering only the garlic naan as that was pretty good. They were also generous enough to comp the soup that was not to my mother's taste and offered us comps on all desserts which was so nice of them to do. Overall a definite 5/5 and we might just comeback here for all our Diwali meals henceforth. The restaurant area is very small, however there is outside seating during warmer months. This place is primarily a catering hall, so the focus/space is clearly on that aspect of the business.
