Happy Wok

My family have been regulars at this restaurant for years…read more We dine in the location as well as order for take out. The food is always good. We have never had anything we didn't like. Our favorites are the won ton soup, vegetable Lo mein (best we have ever had) General Tso's chicken, beef with scallions, and the pepper steak. We are always met with with a warm welcome and smile. Good food, good service, reasonable prices - what more could you ask for?

My search will continue: still can never find a restaurant that makes real egg foo Yung gravy. I…read morethought for sure enjoying food from an old favorite and a real restaurant (not a takeout joint) might yield me some classic gravy. But Hunan Dynasty is still clearly lacking. Check out my photo; what you will see is clearly some kind of brown scallion sauce, thin; not thick traditional gravy. No point in ordering these delicious pancakes if they aren't coming with the right sauce to blanket them. Fried rice was good and the fried wontons are passable but not excellent. I'll probably be back but not anytime soon.

We used…read morethe same Merrick location for years but the food went downhill, same owners, she just doesn't care anymore. So glad we decided to give this East Meadow local place a try. We were all impressed. We got the boneless spare ribs to start. They were delicious, meaty, fresh and not dried out at all. Taste was absolutely yummy! We got the General Tso chicken and were pleased that it wasn't just breading. It was crispy, tasty and chicken (not all breading) Again, this dish is delicious. We got the Hot and Spicy Beef - it could have had more beef but it was delicious. Lastly, we got the Beef LoMein - this had very little beef and the noodles were overcooked but it tasted very good. Overall, looks like this place may become our go to! The food was good, we were greeted with a smile and we are definitely satisfied.

This was my first time getting take-out from Golden Wok and I chose this place based off Yelp…read morereviews. The place itself looks clean, but I have mixed feelings about the food. The shrimp lo mien was very tasty and a good portion size. The fried chicken wings were decent too. BUT, I also ordered General Tso chicken and it was disgusting! It was fried entirely too hard, in old oil, and was covered in a red sauce- red red like food coloring- see pic. General Tso usually comes with broccoli- this order came with **TWO** small broccoli florets with lots of carrots, celery and green peppers--- YUK! I also ordered egg rolls and was given all pork! I guess if you don't specify no meat- they automatically give pork. Finding good Chinese takeout nowadays is a hard task but this place is definitely NOT it.

This is my first time trying Kesar Foods. Immediately upon entering you are greeted and welcomed…read moreinto the restaurant. I ordered a chicken burger and steamed chicken momos. This review is solely on the chicken burger as I'm saving the momos for dinner. The chicken burger was absolutely delicious. Way better than a grilled chicken or fried chicken sandwich from a fast food place. This burger was actual ground chicken seasoned with veggies. You can literally see the seasoning and veggies in the burger. You get seasoned curly fries with the burger as well. While I waited for my food to be prepared, an employee was making coconut ladoo which is like a grated coconut and sugar truffle of sorts. He gave me one to try while waiting, which I thought was very nice of him. All in all, I would for sure go back to try various menu items, including the drinks. Atmosphere, its a regular take-out/casual sit down place.

Tucked inside an unassuming shopping strip just a block from Nassau University Medical Center,…read moreKesar Foods is a hidden jewel that transcends expectations with its generous hospitality, garden-like décor, and a menu that dances across the subcontinent and beyond. This South Asian kitchen artfully blends regional Indian specialties, including those from China and even Nepal, from tandoori sizzlers to street food classics and rich breads, offering a culinary journey few places in Nassau County attempt with such finesse. The food is all created fresh and on location. The showstopper at lunch was the Tandoori Jumbo Shrimp--enormous, flame-grilled prawns with a whisper of char and a radiant glow of saffron and masala. Juicy, fresh, and masterfully spiced, each bite was an explosion of flavors. On the side, the Mixed Vegetable Pakora arrived as a festival of color and crunch. Generously portioned (enough for four), these fritters were golden, airy, and studded with spinach, onion, and root vegetables. Paired with tangy tamarind and zesty mint chutneys, the contrast of warmth and spice was irresistible. The Paneer Paratha--both the house-style and traditional--is a must. Each portion unfolds layers of flavor, the crisp edges giving way to soft pockets of mildly spiced cheese. The Mango Lassi is perfection: chilled, velvety, and sweetened just right, it may be one of the best renditions I have tried. The dining room feels like a serene indoor garden--canopies of flowers and vines cascade from the ceiling, with golden chairs and glass-topped tables beneath. A display case beckons with treats and house-made desserts, while framed wall art pays homage to India's culinary diversity. Kesar Foods dares to represent India's full culinary spectrum. Warm service, vibrant ambiance, and extraordinarily fresh dishes make it a rare and welcome addition to East Meadow's food landscape. The owner Naveen takes great pride in his food. Nothing mass produced, only the freshest ingredients and cooked with love. Highly recommended--especially for hungry medical professionals in need of a nearby, nourishing escape.

I order with shrimp fried rice but use white rice. only place I go to for orange chicken. (Delivery via app used to be much easier but I think you might be able to call and order like that. The app they use is too expensive now.) Ordering can be a bit annoying bc they have the high school/college white girls in the front taking orders and they can be very hormonal via the phone. They might not like when you order with details or might not know what you're talking about so they'll just say sorry we can't do that. Sometimes they try to rush you off the phone. I'm sure the white people in the front help the other white people feel more comfortable ordering, especially the older crowd. But Asian family in the back cooking it up is killing it! You can tell they have experience.

Last time I ate here was well over 4 years ago so I figured it was time to give them another shot!…read moreGuess what? The food was good! I got shrimp with eggplant in garlic sauce, Szechuan wontons, wonton soup, fried rice, brown rice and pineapple chicken. Shrimp with eggplant had a very slight kick of heat and the shrimp were a nice size. Sauce was a little on the greasy side, but was flavorful. Wonton soup broth was lighter in color and salt than most places, but their wontons are tasty. Pineapple chicken was a nice light dish and reminded me of Thai food. Fried rice was not greasy at all and filled with veggies and meat everyone loved it. We almost thought the Szechuan wontons was a soup because it came in a large container filled with sauce along with small shrimp. It was basically just wontons in a brown sauce, they weren't bad, but wouldn't order again. If you're local Ho Hing is a good spot for some fast Chinese food.

This is the best Chinese in the area by a long shot…read more I've been here twice in the last 2 weeks. Let me start by telling you that one of my favorite things that I cook at home is my sesame chicken. It's so good that I get disappointed by other restaurants versions. But, I recently decided to try Jin Jin's version, since I've been so satisfied by their other options, and I was not disappointed at all, rather, I was very happy. Their sesame chicken is on point. Crispy but still soaked in the most amazing tangy yet sweet sauce. It's sesame chicken euphoria. As for their dumplings, I mean, come on. They rival some of the best dumplings I've had in Chinatown. Thin dough with a huge portion of amazing pork. They're soft and juicy and I can eat a million of them and be happy forever. Their prices are very reasonable and the woman who takes the orders is the sweetest. She always says such nice things to my fiancé and me. I'm happy to give her family business and spread the word!

They are always dropping off menus in the mailbox and the price was good sooo I went there. The place was plain and a family seemed to be working there. I saw a grandmother and baby. The portions were large and fresh and tasty. I looked at other dishes people were eating and all looked good. The place was busy for a weekday lunch time. I almost feel like the food is very authentic and could be in your neighborhood. Sick of the weather. Cold down south too. Freeze warning in Florida.
