    Planview Roll, Rainbow Roll

    We went here because I wanted sushi and other ppl wanted hot Chinese food. This place has both. Service felt rushed, they kept asking for us to order when we were just looking at the menu. Also my sushi initially was bought out with cream cheese which was not what I asked for. They had to redo it. The sushi fish was not as fresh as a full Japanese place. The bamboo shoots with pork was not tender. The veggie bean sprouts were tough too. I really liked the braised eel in brown sauce. The other Chinese dishes were clam soup which was good and simple, the meatballs. Overall the bill was not the cheapest with tip came to about $200 for 3 people. I'm glad they seem to not use too much MSG. Anyways it's a good place to come if you want both sushi and authentic Chinese food. Nice ambiance, modern, clean.

    House Special Lo mein

    Ordered House Special LoMein to eat at home and was disappointed that theres hardly any vegetables. Taste was bland. And this is supposed to be house special. Not sure if ill buy again...

    We have been going there for many years. Lately the cleanliness is poor. we sat at a table by the windows. there were a lot of flies in the window sill and flying around the table. one flew into the soup and one flew into the glass of water. The standard of food has gone down. the green tea was just hot water. the new waitress was not friendly or efficient. last week my brother ordered chicken with garlic sauce and instead was served Curry chicken. over all a bad experience the last 2 times. will not be going there again.

    Golden Temple is open for takeout! Big portions enough for 2 meals for our family of 4! Food was delicious! Mala cpuld be spicier but good still! Braised Beef Noodle Soup $9 Mala lamb $17 Chicken with Eggplant $12 https://www.beyondmenu.com/20239/new-york/golden-temple-syosset-11791.aspx

    Scallion Pancakes & Steamed Shrimp Dumplings

    I gobbled up the boiled tofu and spinach soup before I even thought about taking a photo, but at least you can see the other two appetizers I had for lunch yesterday (scallion pancakes & steamed shrimp dumplings) (same dipping sauce for both). All three items really good. I've been here a few dozen times because it's near my office. Their "Bento" boxes are a good deal: salad with ginger dressing; Shumai (little fishy dumplings); California rolls; a veggie (usually broccoli); and the entree. My favorite is the shrimp & veggie tempura. They do both Chinese & Japanese. When they bring the check, a chocolate fortune cookie is an option. Large easy parking lot in front.

    Shrimp and lobsters sauce was good.

    A refereshing change from the former and very popular Kikkus. The interior is far more relaxed, and the food is a bit more traditional. I prefer this vibe. The sushi was fresh, the service was friendly, the wontons were light, the soup wasn't too salty, the shrimp and lobster sauce was really flavorful and shrimps were big and cooked perfectly. Nice place to stop in for any type of experience, quiet enough for a date, nice enough for a light business meeting, friendly enough for mom or family etc.

    Steamed dumplings

    I came in here most recently with my folks, armed with a restaurant.com gift card. Four stars for the dinner box value, 3 stars for everything else on the menu, and 1 star for our awful waitress who seemed to have been born without a voice and/or personality. Upon being seated, be prepared for an overwhelmingly long menu that'll give you good memories of your neighborhood Chinese take-out joint. Add in the Japanese section and you've got quite a lot of reading! At the first opportunity of communication, our waitress failed miserably, unable to answer grade-school caliber questions such as "is this spicy?" or "What type of sauce is this?" When I say FAIL, I don't mean she didn't know the answer, I mean she LITERALLY SAID NOTHING. Needless to say, this was a painfully awkward experience that shouldn't have been. I started with a specialty sushi roll and ordered the Mango Thai w/ beef. Mom and dad ordered the chicken w/ eggplant and Lamb w/ scallions, respectively. A selection of the dinner items are available on the "Dinner Box specials" menu, which includes either two dumplings or a spring roll, a soup, and a dessert for only an extra $3 over the a-la-carte entree. As mentioned before, that sweetens the deal for the already fair menu prices here at Golden Temple. For dessert, my father asked our waitress for the green tea ice cream, only to find out from another server (remember, our waitress doesn't talk) that only chocolate and vanilla are included. OK not a huge deal, but is green tea ice cream really that much more expensive or something that you can't just include that too?! Oh, and when we showed our waitress the restaurant.com coupon?! Fuggedaboutit! She looked like she was going to have a straight up heart attack right next to our table. She scurried off into the back kitchen with our coupon and was thankfully able to apply the $25 discount. Had it not been for our mute waitress, I'd say the experience was good overall. Considering the friendly hello's and goodbye's we got from the other staffers working, I don't think it's a stretch to expect a basic level of communication skill and knowledge of the menu from ALL of the servers here...just sayin'

    We ordered for delivery. Don't remember asking to add a roach in my order. I think the pics speaks for itself.

I found this place on Find Me Gluten and was so excited to try it. The staff were so kind and very well informed about my allergies. The entire menu can be customized to be gluten-free. They told me they have seperate, dedicated fryers for items like tempura and that the only items that I couldn't have were the tamago, eel, imitation crab and the dumplings. We got an order of the shrimp and vegetable tempura and the Rock shrimp (which was suggested to us by the staff). Both were absolutely delicious. They gave me my own gluten-free dipping sauce for the tempura as well as gluten-free soy sauce. We split the sushi for 2 and they made sure the tamago my husband ordered for himself wasn't touching my pieces. I had the lox roll with that and we ordered a Las Vegas roll to split, which was customized to remove the imitation crab and swapped for shrimp instead. Everything was fresh and absolutely delicious, especially the salmon. I was so happy to enjoy a wonderful meal like this again. They gave us some sashimi on the house and some fresh honeydew for dessert. The place was beautifully decorated and very clean. To top it all off there were no extra charges for making anything gluten-free! I will gladly come back here again.

The restaurant itself is stunning, beautiful design, good music, and an upscale bar that transports you far from the reality of being in a strip mall on Jericho Turnpike. The ambiance feels high end and thoughtfully curated. However, a few details reminded us we were still in a strip mall. Small but important things that could easily make or break this place. The bartender, who essentially represents the restaurant and sets the tone , the "sensei" of the establishment, so to speak. He was friendly and kind, but his expertise in cocktails and culinary knowledge was lacking. After our first cocktail, I made it clear that I dislike sweet drinks or wines. He then recommended a Riesling which is known for being a sweet, semi-dessert wine -- which made me question his understanding of the menu. He seemed young and inexperienced, though well-intentioned. The food was a mixed experience. The raw bar appetizers were excellent, and both the lobster udon pasta and spaghetti were delicious! Unfortunately, the lamb chops were a complete miss. We ordered them medium rare, as they arrived so..they were looking and tasting boiled, with no sear, no crust, and a chewy texture. Halfway through my second glass of wine, the bartender refilled it without asking. I assumed it might be on the house,tipping me off. As it wasn't a full glass of wine. When the bill came, I saw I had been charged for a full glass. He never asked if I wanted another; he simply refilled it and added it to the check. That's an amateur. We also received a complimentary glass of champagne (which we noticed was being served to all omakase guests), though the bartender presented it as though it were a personal gesture from him. His words were "these last two rounds were on me". Meanwhile, it was just a 2 glasses of champagne.. my husband and I ordered 3 drinks each, one of which I was poured and did not ask for. Until the service matches the sophistication of the space, this restaurant will struggle to keep diners coming back.

As soon as we walked in, we were warmly greeted by Melinda, one of our favorite waitresses, and were seated right away. May, who was also working tonight, promptly came over to take our order. She politely asked if we needed menus, but I declined since we already knew exactly what we wanted. We've had this same exchange with May quite a few times during our recent visits. We ordered our usual: the Sushi for Two, which comes with two specialty rolls and 18 pieces of sushi. Tonight we chose the Dozo Dozo and the Futomaki Special rolls. The meal also comes with either soup or salad, and tonight we both chose the soup. That's how much we love this dish. We had just returned from a two-week trip to South Florida this past Saturday, and the very next day--Sunday--we came here and ordered the exact same meal. And here we are again tonight doing the same. This restaurant consistently serves some of the freshest, premium-quality fish around. Tonight's 18 pieces included bluefin tuna, O-toro, king salmon, scallops, sea bass, red snapper, fluke, yellowtail, and Spanish mackerel. Every piece was tender and incredibly fresh. Yes, the price reflects the quality--but you absolutely get what you pay for. In my experience, there are not many sushi restaurants on Long Island that consistently serve fish of this caliber. We left once again completely satisfied, which is exactly why this place remains one of our weekly go-to spots.
