Would 100% recommend to go there!!! The ambiance is amazing and the music it's great! I would go there every day if I could. I went there for my birthday and they made it so special.

It took a long time before I tried this restaurant. The menu is limited but very unique---why would…read morea Chinese restaurant serve French Fries or a fried chicken sandwich? Once I let that go and ordered one and experienced all its gloriousness, I was hooked! This is a chicken sandwich with an Asian spin. Chicken is moist and flavorful, as if it had been marinated before placing the delectable fried coating on. The homemade sauce served with it takes it over the top. And those pickles? They are one of a kind. You NEED to try this sandwich! If you are looking for traditional Chinese American takeout, this is not it. The cuisine at Mama Chan's is many steps above (not that I dont enjoy traditional takeout, i do!) The food at Mama Chan's is like being at a friend's family feast where their mom is a fabulous cook! The Taiwanese Beef Noodle Soup is like a warm hug on a chilly day, soooo tasty and satisfying. On a day when I was not feeling so well, this did the trick! Can I tell you that I dream about this soup?! It's THAT good. We also tried the Sesame Chicken (which is served as tenders---big juicy pieces!) with a great rice on the side, and the Steamed Pork Dumplings, which were exquisite. The dumplings are made by hand and are a little on the pricey side, but they are of good quality and you are definitely getting what you pay for. The dipping sauce that comes with them was great. Rounding out the dishes we have tried over a few visits are the Fried rice and Garlic Udon, both were very tasty amd enjoyable. On my next visit I want to try the Braised Pork Belly Bowl and the Sautéed Sting Beans. Although all my orders were takeout, I would like to comment that service was exceptional. The owner, Diana, greets you with a smile and is very personable. Food is prepared as promised, on time, and with care. They even provide utensils. And this is just one of the many reasons I am a returning customer. Did I forget to mention the Beef Noodle Soup?! You need this soup! Go try Mama Chan's!!! :)

We got drunken noodles with beef which had a perfect amount of spice and nice bouncy noodles. We also got chicken sweet basil style and lemongrass pork chops. The vegetables in the sweet basil style were awesome and the chicken was cooked perfectly. The pork chops were very flavorful and the bok choy underneath soaked up all the sauce. We also got a side of coconut sticky rice which was lightly sweet and well cooked. Would absolutely visit again and the owner was really nice. Note that there's a 3% credit card surcharge and the entrees do come with rice. Interior did look small for sit down but there are tables and chairs.

We came here as a group and really enjoyed our meal here. The service was fast (under 10 minutes…read morefor 4 separate meals) and also very friendly. I ordered the veggie burger and my partner ordered the Brie and ham sandwich with a side of broccoli cheddar soup. The veggie burger was perfect in terms of mix of veggies, flavor and freshness and both sandwiches came with a small side of tortilla chips and fresh salsa. We also ordered a side of French fries which were also fresh. Our least favorite thing was the broccoli cheddar soup, which was a little more watery than we would have liked. Others in our party ordered a cheeseburger and an "ah love" chicken sandwich and they liked their food. I ordered a fresh lemonade and it was homemade and tasted great. The food here is very fresh and reasonably priced and very enjoyable overall. We would definitely come back the next time we are here! Warning the parking lot is on the smaller side and there are only about 4-5 tables inside and 2-3 tables on the small outdoor patio.

I used to love Batata and still kind of do love their food but I will never come back…read more On 5/26, I ordered the Zen burger after coming back from the hospital and giving birth to my son a few days earlier. Looking for a burger, I picked the Zen burger which was not listed as having walnuts. I even called the restaurant to confirm this burger was nut free. When I bit into this burger, within 30 seconds, I realized something was wrong when my lips started swelling up and my throat started to close in. My husband called the restaurant back and again asked if the zen burger had walnuts. I was assured that it did not. When I said, please go ask the kitchen, the person on the phone did and confirmed, "oh, it does have a little bit of walnuts in it". I don't think that the people working here understood the severity of this and they offered a refund of the meal that we threw away. Wow, how generous! I spoke to the manager and she just said sorry and that the owner would contact us. We wound up having to go to the hospital over this, after just leaving with our newborn. What a day. It's been a week and my husband has stopped by the talk to the owner but she hasn't been there and has not called, emailed, or done anything since. I don't care if she is busy, it honestly doesn't matter, this is important and I needed some reassurance that this would never happen again to anyone since someone else could have died from this but that never happened. I guess she is just too busy to care. Unfortunately, this is a local business that I used to love but I will never come back and would advise anyone with a food allergy to go somewhere else. The next day they did update the menu and the zen burger now does say "contains walnuts" but it's not reassuring that this will never happen again.

We had the pleasure of meeting the owner, Matt, who is very hands-on and involved in the restaurant, which is great to see.

Highly recommend Riley's--we'll definitely be back!

Used to be my favorite restaurant and now it is a complete disappointment. New owners attempted to…read morekeep portions of the old menu but instead serve dishes that not only fail to fulfill their menu's description but instead offer a cheaper knock-off. The "Autumn Harvest Salad" that I was served was simply huge chunks of iceberg lettuce and not the "mixed greens" in the description. The "poached pears" were two thin slices of a regular pear. We were regulars and now I doubt we will ever revisit. New owner and chef shouldn't have kept the Riley's name (which is what garnered them their loyal following) if they were just going to cheapen the menu. I personally thought that the chicken / sausage gumbo was a delicious standout. Unfortunately it is no longer on the menu.

Since my review of a disappointing first experience at Birdie Bar, I have returned quite a few…read moretimes (largely because there aren't many options in area and the ease of parking), and have found some dishes to be excellent. This includes the olive oil cake, bbq pulled pork nachos, crispy Brussel sprouts, smash burger (although not consistent in size), and chicken picante. The restaurant is relatively new (just reached third year anniversary), so perhaps the kitchen needed more time to prepare dishes more consistently. For the most part the food now matches the social media hype. TIP: Others have recently noted slow service, incorrect orders. I have been visiting at the start of dinner service, and have not encountered this, so some of these issues may potentially be avoided by arriving before inexperienced service staff are overwhelmed. Most people will be seated on second floor which requires walking up a staircase. If special accommodation is needed I suggest informing restaurant in advance. There is some seating downstairs, but depending of time and day this area (bar) can get uncomfortably loud.

My youngest daughter and her husband joined us to celebrate their wedding anniversary and her pregnancy. Walter, our waiter, always makes us felt at home. All the wait service at the restaurant are great and very friendly. We ordered our drinks and some appetizers to share. We had crispy fried calamari, Thai elephant wings and most excellent nachos. We had fried calamari which was hot and delicious. Everything was so good! We were enjoying our conversation and our culinary experience. We are never rushed. We ordered our meals. I ordered crusty salmon with string beans and peppers in a sauce. It melted in my mouth and was cooked to perfection. My wife had the coconut shrimp with the ginger mayo sauce. My daughter had the Awesome Avocado salad with onions, organic baby greens,string beans, cherry tornado and corn. We were very satisfied with all the meals. We decided that we should bring home the chocolate mouse desserts. They were perfect for our lunch the following day. We travelled to the Purple Elephant in Northport because we are never disappointed in the food, the wait service and the atmosphere. If you are near or in Northport, NY, we strongly recommend this restaurant. You will not be disappointed! Enjoy your family and friends with a great meal. Say hello to Walter for us.

A colleague got a lunch box thing that had fresh salad with a pretty good carrot ginger dressing and interesting sushi. I got a bunch of sushi pieces that were fresh and appeared to actually be the fish that I asked for (a study done by college kids some years back showed that sushi restaurants very frequently advertised a fish as one thing, but they actually [secretly] served something that cost the restaurant less). They admitted that they had no Sable fish and I took their recommendation on a different type of fish, and it was interesting. One thing stuck out in particular... the alcoholic bevs here are pretty damned good. I would definitely come back.
