Sesame seed chicken with veggies
Evan C.

This is the best Chinese food in Oyster Bay. This is the only spot I go when I am hungry for some Asian Cuisine. They give you a good amount of chicken and they put a nice sauce over the vegetables. I also like the Crab Ragoons they make. They fold them into little balls that are filled with crab and cream cheese. Out of all three Chinese places in Oyster Bay, Happy Garden should be your only stop. The only negative is that they are really small, I never stay to eat and I hate not staying to eat my Chinese food. Also they have a new type of delivery service, it's the "maybe service!" Maybe delivery today, maybe not today. When you call for delivery sometimes they tell you "no delivery" and sometimes they say "ok 20 minute!" It's luck of the draw. No matter what the food is always hot, the prices are fair, and they always make your food fast. What more can you ask for.

I still continue to have nothing but praise for Happy Garden. They will happily accommodate my request for simply steamed and no sauce.

My SO (significant other) recalls the owners of Eatery 19 from back in the day when they were…read moreestablished and operated a shop in Queens. Our family moved to Long Island, Suffolk County a few years ago and we truly miss authentic Asian food from Queens neighborhoods such as Bayside, Elmhurst and Flushing. We were thrilled when we landed on this hidden gem after moving to LI and found out this family moved their restaurant to Syosset, NY. If you are in the mood for Asian family-style meals, especially Taiwanese cuisine, we highly recommend Eatery 19 in Long Island.

***AUTHENTIC TAIWANESE STYLE CUISINE*** ***FRIENDLY…read moreWELCOMING SERVICE*** I DON'T UNDERSTAND IT You can't deny that New Yorkers love American style Chinese food. Look at any strip mall or shopping center, and it's almost guaranteed you'll find a Chinese take-out. Hell, if I had to guess, I'd say there are more than a thousand of these restaurants located in Nassau/Suffolk alone. Now Taiwanese food shares many similarities with authentic Chinese and American style Chinese. So if you're a fan of either of these, I'm sure you'll love what is being offered at a Taiwanese restaurant. So for me, it's hard to understand why there is only one Taiwanese restaurant offering a full size menu in all of Nassau and Suffolk counties combined. I mean, there's Mama Chan's, a restaurant / bar in Northport, that looks really interesting - but their 3/4 page menu of appetizers and entrees barely scratches an itch. And before Eatery 19 opened around five years ago, one would have to shlep all-the-way to Queens or Brooklyn from Long Island. Oy vey! GOOD GENES A full service authentic Taiwanese restaurant can't just magically materialize. And as it happens, the owners here are related to the family running Nan Bei Ho - one of the many popular Taiwanese restaurants in Bayside. But even with this lineage, Eatery 19 had a bit of a rough start, with a head chef that wasn't the most talented, and early reviews reflected this point. But not long after, a new chef took over the kitchen, and the cuisine has been maximally upgraded since. SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE I can't imagine someone not being able to find something they really enjoy on this fairly comprehensive menu, even if you're a Taiwanese food novice. There's a nice selection of Taiwanese street food appetizers such as popcorn chicken, oyster pancake, Taiwanese sausage, cold dishes, and a not-so-smelly fried stinky tofu. If spicy is your thing, there are great versions of shredded beef or pork with spicy green peppers, spicy diced chicken, shrimp or squid in spicy pepper sauce, and chef's special beef or fish filet in chili oil. And there are some pretty good kung pao dishes if that's your jammy. Interestingly enough, they don't serve fly heads (cang ying tou) here, but they have a fantastic spicy minced pork with dried tofu cubes dish as a consolation prize. On the non spicy front, there are a plethora of items, so I'll just mention some of the ones I've enjoyed. Starting off, I have to call it! Eatery 19 makes my all time favorite version of the famous Taiwanese three cup chicken. It's saucy and savory, with tender boneless chicken & lots of basil. Unquestionably, It's the best I've ever had - and I order this everywhere. In addition, a great seafood option is the perfectly fried & delicious salt and pepper fish filets. And I also need to mention that the chef here makes fantastic fried rice, with tons of wok hei and fresh ingredients - just give the egg and scallion fried rice a try and you'll see. In addition, the fried rice with Taiwanese sausage comes in a close second. Looking for even more tasty carbs? The Taiwanese stir fried rice noodles with their unique flavor is a solid choice. And if you're craving soup noodles, there's a solid braised beef noodle soup available daily. NOT JUST FOR DINNER Eatery 19 is a fantastic resource for grabbing a quick tasty lunch, with a large assortment of over rice dishes. and two Taiwanese railroad bentos with choice of pork chop or chicken leg, being served with braised pork rice, cabbage, pickled vegetables, marinated egg, and Taiwanese sausage. LUCKY TO HAVE THIS Look, Eatery 19 may not be a contender on the list of top Taiwanese restaurants in New York. And it' features a plain looking interior with half-way descent service. But taking all this into account, Long Islanders, are still quite lucky to experience this cuisine close to home. And to be honest, I feel privileged each time I visit this interesting authentic eatery.

Great food, great service, and nice atmosphere! Was in town for a business trip and stopped to eat…read moredinner here, will definitely eat here again when I'm back in town!

Service, as many have said, is nonexistent. The waiters seemed frazzled. We were told 20 minutes…read morefor a table, which is doable except there is no place to wait where you were not in the way of the waiters running back and forth. The wait was less than 20 minutes but then another few minutes before we were given menus. We went here because a friend told us they had good Peking duck. Well apparently they sold out the night before. Not quite sure how you sell out of Peking duck on a Friday but then have none for the rest of the weekend. Nonetheless we stayed but we really shouldn't have. This is definitely an Americanized Chinese place. The spare ribs barely had meat on the bone and the meat was tasteless. I did enjoy the wontons in my wonton egg drop soup and the beef skewers were tasty. They made the moo shoo pancakes for us which was nice. The scallion pancakes were all dough and maybe a sliver of scallion. I don't think I will return even if they guaranteed the Peking duck. I can't imagine it would be worth it. As an aside, besides the people who worked there, I think hubby and I were the only other Asians. If you're looking for Chinese food (other than the Peking duck), there are numerous other Chinese restaurants with tastier food and definitely better service.
