I was excited to go to this place for a good breakfast. I guess it was too early. All their employee were either eating food or drinking in the kitchen as well as in the front of the cashier. The portion of the food was a joke. Good for kid only. read more

We ordered a sample of Shanghai style triple yellow chicken. It's an authentic Shanghai appetizer with naturally formed chicken jello. It is so yummy. Highly recommended. Other dishes are also authentic read more

Blue Wave - 有鸡冻的三黄鸡 - Shanghainese Near Me - Williston Park, New York

I came for lunch special and was looking for something different than the normal standard Chinese. I found parking out front, which could be a challenge at busier times. I was greeted and seated right away. I asked the waiter for suggestions because it was my first time there. He eagerly responded with two or three different choices. I went with the spicy hot pepper chicken over rice and I'm glad I did. There was a ton of flavor and a subtle heat that got the taste buds alive. The portion size may not be as big as other standard fare Chinese locations, but the taste and quality makes up for that. I just happen to have a big appetite. I would go back and recommend to others that are looking for a more authentic Chinese(Shanghainese) food experience. read more

Under new management. The food is good and good portion for the price. My normal lunch and dinner spot.

Came with my family today and just love this restaurant! Will definitely come again when we get a time! Highly recommend!! Here's a photo of my fav dish! (Ate half of it already haha) read more

This is a real Chinese cuisine restaurant in this area! The food is so delicious and the guys are so nice! I went there with my son and found they also have big tables for about 10people party. I'll still go with my family. read more

Saves me the hassle of going to flushing. Food is pretty good. Soup dumplings taste good, I find dumpling is too thick.

Food is ok, we had the take out. Bok choy has yellow leafs which is not fresh. Scallion pancake is good.

This spot has realllly good pork buns! I ordered noodles which was ok. But the buns was the best thing! I'll definitely be getting food from them again. read more

They no longer have free soup dumplings with a $20 purchase. We got them anyway and were not disappointed. The food overall was good but our server was a bit rude, ignoring my friends requests and arguing with the table next to us. Another server helped him with our table and he was very sweet so it may have just been a one time thing. Overall a good place to get soup dumplings without having to go to queens read more

Excellent. One of the few places that has real Szechuan pepper corns in their food. Everything authentic as if you were in China.

Really like this place, it's a better then takeout chinese..but not good as chef wang..

I have been this restaurant two times, I ordered xiaolong bao and beef noodle. I feel like their ciaolong bao is not hand made which little different from flushing that I had before. The noodle is okay. They also provide delivering during COVID-19. If you just need a meal they are a good choice but if you want real Chinese food taste this restaurant are not like that. read more

We discovered this place when we moved here about a year ago. Legit place close to home and don't have to travel to flushing. My son loves their string beans. So far everything that we get has been on point. read more

Wow! a hidden gem. We've lived here 20 years and amazingly, never tried it. Last week we wanted Chinese but were craving something "different" - well, we found it. Legitimate Sichuan and Shanghai food with out of this world DUMPLINGS! The decor is nothing to write home about, but the food was full of flavor, and the service was attentive. we were treated like we were regulars. Glad we found it - and try the dumplings! read more

When the fancy Roslyn places are too busy to take your order and charge exuberant amounts for normal Chinese food, I decided to try takeout from somewhere new and we chose blue wave randomly. Overall good comfort Chinese food. Everything tasted fresh and they even gave us free dumplings!!! The food was prepared quickly as well. Would definitely recommend and return! read more

We had a late lunch on a Friday afternoon, around 2:30pm. The restaurant was empty and we were the only customers for a while until another party of one arrived. The wait staff was all on their cell phones and not very attentive. The food was mediocre at best. The dough on the soup dumplings was thicker than other places we've been too and the garlic noodle dish was tasteless. The iced coffee was mostly milk and ice. We were very disappointed. read more

Today I ordered 2 orders of chicken wings. I picked it up and paid around $11. I go home and open the bag. It was palm size portion of wings. I went back and they started to give me attitude that it's 8 pieces. The waiter then arrogantly starts to count the wings in front of me. He was also astonished that the wings were so small and the count was wrong. There were only 6 little baby wings. It was not even a full grown chicken wing. They were all minuscule and bony. I complained and they were nice to refund me the money. The sad part is that I left hungry. I will never ever come back there again. read more

I went here with my girlfriend after she got out of work and ordered the Soup Dumplings, Wide Noodles with Shrimp, Pork, Chicken, & Steak, & Scallion Pancakes. The food was pretty good. The place is small and great for take out. I wouldn't say the food was "out of this world" but definitely worth going to. I would definitely come back in the future and try different stuff. read more

It is nice to have some good chinese food around the neighborhood. The manager is super nice that he gave my daughter a glass of soy milk for free. read more

First experience was OK... over-priced for the amount of food served. Second experience confirmed there are better options our there.... way over-priced for the amount of food served, the food taste seemed to took a turn for worst as well.... won't be returning.... too bad. read more

The Blue Wave is a pretty authentic Chinese restaurant. The fresh chili beef was beyond delicious but slightly too spicy for me. Their lamb special had a unique taste that I haven't tasted before. The soup dumplings are pretty good but the spoon is too small to hold the soup. I may start bringing my own spoon because I hate wasting the soup. They need to change the size and depth of the spoon ASAP. read more

Finally good Chinese Restaurant in Long Island! Good Shanghai cuisine! A little more expensive than Flushing but close by my house. read more

Visited on a weekend night, the restaurant was crowded, but we were seated quickly. The food came out quickly and was very fresh! The menu showed a good deal of authentic Chinese- Shanghainese and Sichuan dishes. There also were some American-Chinese dishes, as well. The highlights of the meal were the soup dumplings, pan-fried dumplings, and Shanghainese meatball with salted egg yolk. The fried bean gluten sounded intimidating, but was a delicious appetizer (but not for those with gluten intolerance) that was savory and a bit sweet. There were more things we wanted to try like the scallion pancakes and rice cake dishes, but we were too full. We'll have to come back another time! It's great to see a clean and well run restaurant with delicious food in the local Long Island area! It's much more convenient for people living in Nassau county than to drive to queens or Manhattan for authentic food! read more

Just moved to Long Island. Tried to find some place has traditional Chinese not only take outs so here we are. like the food is really delicious and the service is good too. Will be back. read more

Pan fried pork buns wer absolutely delicious. Cooked perfectly and the sauce was real nice. I can't wait to go back for a full dinner. Went back again and it was even better. The sesame chicken is perfect and the pork buns - wow. read more

We have been following the openings of new authentic type Chinese restaurants that have been opening: Spicy Home Tasty in Commack, F.A.N. in Deer Park, and today we drove out from Northport to Blue Wave in Williston Park. All 3 are planets above anything we have had on L.I. If I had to list them in order, I think Blue Wave, would take top prize. We had the Soup Dumplings, Wontons in spicy sauce, Shredded Pork with Dried Bean Curd and Celery, Shredded Beef with Fresh (green) Chiles. EVERY one amazing delicious. Very nice staff, and restaurant. Worth a ride out if you are not nearby. read more

It's nice, homey Chinese food that comes out really quickly! And it's really cheap! I would come again in the future. Also, if you buy over $20 of food there, you get addition of soup dumplings for free :) read more

Went here on a whim. So glad we did, service was fantastic, very attentive and accommodating. Had pork soup dumplings and they were outstanding! Spicy Diced Chicken was spicy and flavorful. The staff couldn't be nicer, and food was great. Would recommend putting this place on your list. read more

Good pork soup dumplings!! The pan-fried pork buns were comparable to Chinatown in LA: Delicious! I am always looking for soup dumplings without the drive to Flushing and I would recommend Blue Wave. The dumplings were very soupy and the wrapper was thin. Prefer the pork to the crab/pork soup dumplings. We also ordered jellyfish with turnip but you had to dig around to find the jellyfish. Avoid the crispy duck: not crispy and not a good value for the price. I will keep going back to partake of the very fresh soup dumplings and sample other dishes. There is a good variety to choose from. This place is a bit more pricey than the typical Chinese restaurant. read more

Finally! Real Chinese food near home. I don't have to go Flushing in traffic. We have a supermarket on Jericho Turnpike, a restaurant on Hillside and a bubble tea place in Great Neck. read more

This is the worst business. You get charged for delivery. They CANNOT EVEN BE ON TIME. At this point I have waited over 45 minutes of the given time. This is ridiculous!!!!! Food is not that good either! read more

I don't fully understand how Blue Wave gets such good reviews. Their Shanghainese food is mediocre at best. You don't have to travel all the way to Flushing to have great tasting Shanghainese cuisine. Head to Bayside. Hop on the LIE heading westbound and take exit 29. Make a right on Bell Blvd. Pick up some great food at Nan Bei Ho or You Garden. Nan Bei Ho is technically a Taiwanese restaurant but they do serve Shanghainese food. The You Garden at Bayside is a Shanghainese restaurant and taste as good, if not better than their Flushing location. When Blue Wave first opened, I was ecstatic. Price was also decent. Food was ok. But as days, months, years went by, food quality started dropping exponentially. Such disappointment. Prices went up. We still ordered take out because it's quick to get to. What finally made us stop going was the fish and other items. The Fried salt and pepper fish! Soggy? Check. Flavorless? Check. Oh wait, that's not how it's supposed to taste. Or is it? What do I know. They're the Shanghainese restaurant. We spent pretty generously on one of their "specials". It consists of multiple dishes, soup, rice, and that fish. Seemed fishy? Nah! We hoped it would at least taste decent. But I'm sad now. Sad because we had to throw most of it away. I hate wasting food. We stopped going there and it has mostly improved my sorrows. But every time I see fried salt and pepper fish, my eyes starts getting watery. I need to stop rubbing my eyes after I handle pepper. read more

Food:4/5 Service: 4/5 Delivery is super fast, always hot. Really enjoy the chicken, spicy beef, and wontons. I would say the pork buns are a miss though- oddly soggy. The soup dumplings though are a hit! And rare in this neck of the woods. read more

Very clean and attentive service. Food was simply ok. Soupy dumplings were bland and the skin was too thick. Overall food was fair.

Glad to finally have authentic Chinese food in this neighborhood. Food is tasty, prices are decent and they are running a special right now where you get free soup dumplings with a $20 purchase. Service is also better than typical Chinese restaurants. Decor is strange but I go there for the food. read more

I was so excited to try it honestly. Everything was gross or cold and also was delivered one wrong dish. Ordered the beef soup, noodles were cold af like they were not cooked, ordered beef sichuan for my lady and instead received a dish that had fish which my lady is allergic to and on top of that super spicy which she can't tolerate, luckily she tried a tofu and then realized there was fish she could have gotten a really bad allergic reaction smh. Also ordered the sauteed string beans and they tasted old or had a weird taste. Honestly I would try it again because I do love the pork buns if I get a refund for the disgusting/wrong items that I received( spent like $90) Only thing that was good was the white rice. lol I Still have the receipt and I think I still have the gross dish in my fridge that smells but my lady might of thrown it away. read more

First time that I know I need to pay extra service fee for credit card. The bank charge them and now they are trying to get reimbursement from customers. Even it's only teeny weeny amount, BUT make me very unpleasant. Food is just average, I prefer to drive 20 mins to flushing instead. Phew~~~ read more

Best soup dumplings ever!! The staff was incredibly sweet, I would definitely go here again!

OMG! Highly Recommended. I am working in a nail salon like 10 mins away from Bluewave, I order few times already and never gets disappointed, everything is tasty, yummy, and delicious. Today I tried the braised beef noodle soup, oh my god it's exactly what I want, I have been looking for it for a long time and tried so many different restaurants, I am so happy. I will keep going all the time. read more
