Planview Roll, Rainbow Roll
Elena Y.

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
Aba H.

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.
Tracy K.

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
Ryan F.

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.

The were only 2 other people in the restaurant. The hostess brought us to a booth. Very comfortable. Waiter appeared a few minutes later and presented us with a tablet to order our meals. It was easy and it was great to see what the dishes looked like. We ordered mango lava milk and the holden chrysanthemum tea pot. Lava milk was nice and not too sweet and the chrysanthemum tea was a good choice to compliment the meal. We ordered the steamed pork soup dumplings. Cooked to perfection. We also ordered the half Peking duck and spicy black fish. The Peking duck was served with pancakes to wrap the duck as well as cucumber, pineapple and hoisin sauce. Duck tasted delicious not greasy at all. It was my favorite part of the meal. Spicy black fish was good as well and not too spicy. This is a high end Chinese fusion restaurant. Prices are high but you are paying for the presentation and experience. Footnote: This restaurant is listed as a Resy restaurant. AmEx Platinum Card will give you a $100 credit every 3 months that you dined at Resy restaurants. For some reason they way the waiter rang up the bill on the tablet it came up as take out ?!? Crazy! AmEx still gave us the credit after we called it un.

It was about 10 degrees outside we had to wear our jackets inside for dinner. Besides that downfall, the food here is so so so good. This is my second time coming back and I absolutely love everything, from the wontons to the fried rice and the kung pao chicken. I always look foward to eating my leftovers from this place!! Hopefully they fix the heat issue so I can return this winter.

The food was flavorful, the prices reasonable, and the noodles were the best part- because it was hand-pulled. They were so good, our family would often order several orders of extra noodles. In the past few months, the noodles were very noticeably NOT hand-pulled- resembling packaged noodles. Which is a problem - because the menu still has it labeled as hand pulled. The broth in the spicy noodles were neither spicy or flavorful, which is a shame because I really liked this place. After scathing reviews, the service seems to be a little better, but the entire reason we would visit is because of the hand pulled noodles- which aren't any more

We're already familiar with this restaurant because it's the sister restaurant to our favorite, Orient Garden in New Hyde Park. My husband ordered the Country Chicken and thoroughly enjoyed it. The portion was very generous--I forgot to take a photo until he was halfway through his meal, and he still had leftovers to bring home. I ordered the 2 1/2-pound Vancouver crab over rice noodles. It was absolutely delicious. The crab was perfectly seasoned with garlic and scallions, and the rice noodles soaked up all of the wonderful flavors. I was completely satisfied with my meal, and the portion was equally generous. What really made the experience special was the hospitality. Owner Tom leads an excellent team, and every staff member we encountered was professional, attentive, and genuinely pleasant. Our servers, Hai Wen and Summer, checked on us regularly to make sure we had everything we needed. We'll definitely be back!
