    Dim Sum Sampler
    Jihye B.

    I went to Cherry Amber a couple of times now. First was for a dinner service with a rather large group. I liked the spacious hall and the availability of the semi-private area, where we were seated. I was really impressed by the sushi platter for two, which we ordered as a table appetizer. The sashimi pieces were really fresh and of good quality fish. I had the shrimp Singapore noodles, which was heavy on the spice but salted delicately, almost bland but in a nice way. I do wish it was a little bit saucy or varied in flavor, though. The second time, I visited early on the weekend and tried the brunch prix fixe menu. I had the dim sum appetizer, which was presented beautifully. Unfortunately, the wrappers were pretty dry. I also had the wonton soup, which was also a little lackluster though the mild soup was nice. For my entree, I had the beef curry with brown rice. I did like that the fried tofu was in there. Unfortunately, the beef was prepared in what I think was an attempt to tenderize it. The tough parts were still there but the rest of the meat felt mushy and really flavorless, almost like wet cardboard. I do think some of the dishes, they did fine. However, the menu is too expansive and it's hard to figure out what the restaurant can do well. I know it's an Asian fusion diner concept, but I do hope they'll pare down the menu a bit and highlight the dishes they could do well instead of relying so much on pre-made items executed poorly.

    Chicken and String bean in garlic sauce (lunch)

    Great update to a familiar spot from my childhood. I stopped into Cherry Amber today with my mom for lunch, and it was really nice to see the transformation....what used to be the old diner is now a Chinese fusion restaurant with updated, modern decor. We started by sharing the pork gyoza appetizer. It came with 6 pieces, which was perfect for splitting, and they were flavorful. The lunch specials are a great deal. They include a choice of white or brown rice plus soup. We both picked wonton soup, which came with two wontons each. The broth was delicious and comforting. The wontons were also great. For my entrée I ordered the chicken and broccoli in soy ginger sauce. It was very, very good and came with a generous amount of chicken for a lunch portion. My mom had the chicken and string beans in garlic sauce. She enjoyed the flavor, but didn't love that her chicken was shredded while mine was sliced. This was more of a texture preference than a taste issue. Service was okay; friendly, but we did have to wait a bit for water refills. Overall, a solid lunch and a nice refresh of the space. I would definitely return, and I wish them lots of success!

    Boston Roll and Spicy Tuna Roll

    Not too long ago dropped by for some hot food and that left a positive impression even though there were some minor nit picks. Confirmed I would be back for sushi and picked Valentine's Day to try it out. Not surprised place was jam packed when I arrived. Online order promised 20 minutes, I showed up a couple of minutes after that to see a bag making its way out of the kitchen. To my pleasant surprise that bag was indeed my food! Timing was great. Sushi was well assembled, had good flavor. Would be back again. Only little thing was got the tom yum soup with shrimp. It literally had 1 shrimp. Big. But single shrimp little bit disappointing. Overall great experience. Might be my new go to sushi spot!

    This Asian fusion restaurant just opened and was a former diner. It is beautifully decorated and very spacious. The service was quick for a new restaurant and the staff was very friendly. They are also kid friendly, which is great. They had a booster seat for my daughter. I would recommend adding on a kids menu though. The food was pretty good. My daughter had General Tso's chicken, which she enjoyed. My husband; mother in law and myself all had sushi, which was fresh and pretty good for a fusion restaurant. The miso soup was great as well as the ginger salad. We would definitely come back! So happy it's so close to my house

    Second day after soft opening. Interior is beautiful, the bones of the building are the same as when it was the Plainview Diner, and I have very fond memories of that. There are plenty of velvety booths and comfy chairs. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Large menu, many vegetarian options . Portions were decent and food was excellent and nicely presented. Staff filled up water glasses regularly , which I always appreciate. Wish tofu was an option with pad Thai, and not just chicken and pork. Plenty of parking. They got rid of part of the kitchen and made a nice separate party room. Cherry Amber is a nice upscale addition to the neighborhood and I wish them much success.

    Tri-Color Sashimi
    Lon M.

    Finally went to Cherry Amber tonight. We wanted to give them a few months to sort out their opening issues. My wife had the Tri-color sashimi and I ate the Mu-Shu beef. The sashimi was fresh, presented well and delicious. I was very impressed with the taste of my Mu-Shu beef. Came out hot and tasteful. I would order this again. Their salad was cold and the dressing was delicious. Service was excellent tonight. We will be going back soon.

    Shrimp Tempura Roll salmon Salmon w.Avocado Roll
    Ash M.

    We did take out from cherry amber last night and I was unimpressed. I can't speak to service or inside of the restaurant but the food was just okay. The fish doesn't taste fresh. My salmon avocado roll tasted like the salmon was a day or two old if you know what I mean. The pacific roll didn't have a lot of flavor and neither did their shrimp tempura. The sesame chicken was like any other Asian restaurant, nothing special. Probably won't be returning

    Cherry Amber is a new Asian Fusion restaurant that is situated where the plainview Diner existed. It is a very happening restaurant that requires reservations if you want to make sure you get seated in a timely manner. There was not a spot in the parking lot to be had. Having reservations we were seated promptly. They have an extensive menu of Chinese, hibachi and sushi. We chose Chinese this time getting the sesame chicken and honey walnut shrimp and chicken. Both dishes were very tasty and the portions were generous. We had the hot and sour sour soup which was good and the wonton soup which was ok. All and all the restaurant was nice and the food good. The staff was very nice as well. I think Cherry Amber had found a new home in Plainview.

    Walking in felt nostalgic--like the diner I grew up going to, but refreshed with sleek, modern décor and a vibrant vibe. We came on their first Friday, and it was packed. Even with the crowd, we were seated right away, though I do have to note our table and some around us weren't being cleared quickly, so empty dishes piled up while new food kept coming out. Overall, the food was good. Most dishes were really enjoyable, but the sushi missed the mark and felt more like something from an all-you-can-eat spot--poorly rolled and not great quality. The apps were solid, though the crispy rice and scallion pancakes came out a bit cold. The entrées, on the other hand, were full of flavor and definitely the highlight. It's a brand-new place and has the potential to become a local favorite. I liked it, didn't love it, but I'll give them time to settle in and would come back to try it again. For now, I wouldn't rush through the door, but it's worth keeping an eye on as they find their footing.

Huge menu offering good 'ole American food, and serving huge portions !! We learned that getting here early on a Saturday night (between 5 - 5:30p) means nothing cuz it's packed, and we learned they DO take reservations. Good to know. This place is popular... and for good reason. My husband ordered the BBQ baby back ribs and loved them. He said he was impressed with how good they were. I ordered a Chicken Caesar wrap, which was loaded with chunks of well-seasoned grilled chicken and some lettuce sitting on top of fresh pita bread rolled up. As my side, I got a Greek salad, which I then incorporated into my grilled chicken wrap. I loved putting it all together, but if you think I was able to finish that, you'd be wrong. I brought it home and enjoyed it the next day for lunch, although parts of it were admittedly soggy. I just ate around the soggy parts cuz it was too good to waste. We only visit L.I. (family lives here) once or twice a year, but now that we know about this place, I'm sure it will become part of our rotation. We loved what we had, so we want to try more !

We ordered: - Spring Salad (5/5) this tasted so good with the fresh mango, the snap peas, and the carrot ginger dressing. - Faroe Islands Salmon (5/5) I only tasted the rice, and not the salmon itself, but the rice was so good, and I just kept on stealing more from the plate. - Roasted-Half Chicken (4/5) This was my own entrée, and I loved how the chicken was crispy, and I also really liked the garlic mashed potatoes, but the only thing that I did not think worked well with the dish was the swiss chard. I think it would've tasted better with spinach. - Strawberry Cheesecake (4/5) this was surprisingly very light for a cheesecake, we ended up finishing all of it, and the whipped cream was really good. The strawberries were not my favorite, I kind of wish that they were just fresh slices of strawberries, but to each their own. All in all, this was a super solid meal, there's plenty of parking, and the restaurant is quite spacious, and the single bathrooms are also pretty large.

It was a little on the bland side. We also had a couple of cocktails that I thought were really good - the Lavender Haze and the Turn the Beat Around. I recommend both. We ended the night with the Apple Crips dessert, which we both enjoyed.
