The food has gone down hill so bad since years ago! Crossing this place off my list!

We ordered takeout here due to the stellar reviews and left our dinner disappointed…read more We ordered a batch of food including: papaya salad, curry puffs, basil fried rice, pad see ew, massaman curry and mango sticky rice. The stars of the show were the curry puffs (light and spiced, almost like a samosa), the pad see ew (chewy, almost buttery and very savory) and the massaman curry with duck (how could you go wrong). Everything else in our order fell flat. The papaya salad was peanutty but bland. The fried rice, forgettable. But the mango sticky rice had almost a smoked meat taste(?) to it which left us truly baffled. Overall, if this is your go to, more power to you. But I personally believe there are better thai options out there on the island!

This is one of my favorite spots on Long Island! The food is consistently amazing. Some of my…read moremust-order dishes are the Walnut Shrimp, Tofu Dry Pot, Dan Dan Noodles, Salt & Pepper Shrimp, and of course the Chili Oil Wontons. If you're visiting for the first time, those are the dishes to try. The restaurant has plenty of seating, and service is always quick and efficient. The only downside is that they don't serve hard liquor, but they do offer beer, sake, and tea. Their homemade chili oil is absolutely on point and adds the perfect kick to just about everything. What keeps us coming back isn't just the food it's also the outstanding service. Our waitress, "Cherry", has become one of the reasons we love dining here. "Cherry" always goes above and beyond to make everyone feel welcome and taken care of. Another huge plus is the ample parking, so there's never any stress about finding a spot. Great food, excellent service, and a welcoming atmosphere make this a place we'll continue to visit again and again.

No flavor at all, I had to add too much soy sauce - not great. There were no chinese veggies, no bokchoy, no watercrests, no mushrooms. It was broccoli, carrots, celery, and baby corn (2 pieces!) First of all $17 for a dinner dish that doesn't come with fried rice or soup or eggroll? Sorry I never really put negative reviews but I feel like the hype of this place out weighs its value.

Inside, they have booths on the edges.

Im done with this place!! I moved here about 3 years ago and only found 1 excellent place off of 347, but its to far from my home so i go to this stupid joint. I see everybody giving good reviews for this place.Guess what you don't know what good food is!!!! every time I order sweet and sour chicken it taste like its been cooked 10 times..its so chewy, I'm surprise i can actually break it down to digest. There boneless spare ribs are the most bland dried out piece i ever tasted.my kids complain all the time about how the food is, but i keep coming back because its the only place near me..im gonna have to travel for a better joint. For the price they charge they should really give some fresh meat not stuff that's been sitting around and then recooking it..and that's exactly what there doing. They need better cooking skills. read more

This place is a dump, look around before ordering. They have no regards for cleanliness, bathroom is disgusting, the red paint on the walls says everything about the owner not caring. He painted over everything and the food was on the floor there was a film of grease on many surfaces. Food was boring and my wife hated her teriyaki chicken. My chicken and eggplant was depleted of chicken. It was mostly eggplant with 4-5 pieces of mystery meat. Could have been cat for all I know. I don't know why people go there. Perhaps because it's the only Chinese restaurant on Main Street. Jade Garden used to be good, will drive th me extra distance next time or go to the place in Kings Park near the train station . Don't eat here!!!!' read more

I also wasn't feeling like sitting down to eat in a restaurant. This place ended up being a fantastic find. I ordered the beef with garlic sauce, since it was one of the items listed as being spicy for beef. As soon as I ordered, I left to pick up the order and when I arrived, it was already ready. They even offered to give me a plate for my food, which is very rare, and very helpful because I was bringing it back to my hotel room. The food was pretty good, however, not very spicy, but I probably should've said extra spicy or asked for some hot sauce. The portions of meat were very generous, which was another surprise. The prices were very reasonable considering what has happened in the last 2 years. I would definitely come back here in the future. The only downside was that there was no way to directly order from them on the internet, so I had to call.

We got chicken egg foo young, pad Thai, steamed tofu and broccoli, wonton soup and general tso. My biggest complaint would be the steamed tofu and broccoli came with the sauce IN it... every time I've ever ordered on the diet menu/steamed dishes, it always comes on the side. The sauce was alright, not the worst but this might have been Michael Phelps tofu bc it was swimming in the sauce. So much!! The chicken egg foo young was a bit greasy and bland. Gravy had no flavor at all. General Tso was over fried, sauce was okay, fried rice is quite possibly the worst I have ever had, no redeeming quality about it whatsoever, tasted almost like freezer burn which was odd. The wonton soup is basically water with doughy balls of wontons- tough,chewy and very little flavor. While edible, it was pretty mediocre. Pad Thai noodles tasted like they just boiled the noodles and added veggies. No flavor to be found. So unfortunate. Was really hoping that this would be the one that would end our search for good Chinese in this area. Guess we'll have to keep trying! Skip this one!
