The best way to describe Kwong Ming is to use a baseball analogy. Kwong Ming is like a veteran ball player who is basically a pinch hitter now. Put him in, he might hit a walk off homer, maybe a clutch base hit or strike out on 3 pitches. For sentimental reasons, he's still on the team. And you're his fan for life. That's how I feel about Kwong Ming.

Wonton soup, broth is dark but excellent

Kwong Ming, the dine in Chinese restaurant of my childhood. In the late 1960's & 70's, we really did not venture out to eat much. And if we did, it was in close proximity to home without getting on the Meadowbrook or Southern State. That extravagance was saved for a birthday or other family celebration. In those days, there were few nearby sit down places, despite the obligatory take out in each of the Long Island strip malls no matter how big or small. In those days, I would have not have known of places like Fortune Wheel, The Orchid in GC or The Orient in Bethpage even if they were around because they were out of our dining radius. I never ate at Gam Wah in Carle Place which wasn't even that far. We lived in East Meadow, south of Front Street, where we had China Light across from where the relocated MAB liquor landed on Merrick Ave. While the North & far South shore folks had the dining dynasties of Homers with the likes of Empire Szechuan Gourmet & Mo'er of Homers (where Lee & I had our first date March 1991) Somewhere like Sun Ming in West Hills, was simply a world away. When I was really young, I thought that the little statue men in the Kwong Ming lobby looked like my grandfather, who was bald & wore a similar silk robe. Go figure. Yet, those figures remain today in their little glass boxes that divide the waiting lobby. On this visit, one that was pure detective work to see how the much adored egg rolls were, there was no wait on a Sunday eve after Thanksgiving at about 6pm. Besides being only 1/4 filled, not much seems to have changed. Red table clothes, older men waiting on tables in jackets. No music, but boisterous voices of one comedian like server. We marveled at the prices of the combo plates, 20-26 dollars, but included a lot. Chicken & Broccoli, meh. Fried rice, not the worst, some large chunks of dry pork, small cup of wonton soup is dark and has some bok choy leaves, is good. Egg roll, is actually huge, we can see lots of minced pork, filled w cabbage, but also has grease that drips when squeezed. Szechuan string beans, not bad, not memorable at almost 21 dollars. Dessert is ice cream..I try to be funny and ask for pistachio or cherry vanilla, the choices of my youth, but i receive a "vanilla, choc or green tea" answer. With a bit of snazzin up, some music with a hip play list, it might just be a bit more inviting. But not somewhere that we would return to given so many choices now. But we were glad to have walked down memory lane for about an hour. No drinks, no apps, bill was 57 w tax, tip makes it 67..thats for 2 full combo dinners. $$$

Welcome to Kwong Ming

My wife and I both wanted Chinese food but wanted to try something more special then our takeout place so we made a field trip to Kwong Ming. Extremely easy to get to from Mineola and easy to park in their lot. Overall, a very simple trip. We've been here before and were brought right over to our seats. Our waiter immediately brought over [the best] noodles with hot tea, the way it used to be. Stepping into Kwong Ming is like the restaurants of old. There were many people here, all seem to be enjoying themselves. There is just a calm ambiance about this place. Food here is brought in massive quantities, that's why you see everyone walking out with brown bags. There is always a "take-home involved here." Helene and I both had combination platters, Shrimp in Lobster Sauce and Boneless Ribs. All around.. perfect. We both loved our soups, Wonton and Egg Drop Wonton mixed. Hot and TASTY! The boneless ribs were big slices of tasty pork and the Shrimps were cooked perfectly in a rich-tasty sauce. THe fried rice in delicious and the egg rolls are 'history making.' Wow they are big and delicious. This even ended off with a nice dish of chocolate ice-cream., a great dining experience. KUDOs to the team at Kwong Ming Restaurant.

Homemade Fried noodles that come with soup.

I used to go here as a kid. It's far but I was craving some of their amazing wonton soup. This is the best!!!! Hit the spot. I feel like the Chinese food you judge others by is the local place near you that is budget friendly and it changes your taste buds Kwong Ming is not that. There is so much flavor in their food. Also, You will not find a homemade egg roll on Long Island anymore. Or the any of the stuff they make from scratch. homemade fried noodles, their duck sauce is not from a vat of sauce and you can taste it. The beef and broccoli has an amazing unique flavor even my teen said that it "hit" different it was tender and tasty. A must try at least once.

We have been customers for over 35 years. Lately the prices have soared and the food is getting worse. Not a good combination..

The food is generally good. Would be better if consistent. The prices recently were outrageous. $25 for beef and noodles? Nope.

The food was so greasy. I did not enjoy it. I heard only good things, so I was surprised and disappointed.

Used to be great. Now it's awful; food, service, cleanliness (or lack thereof). They should hang it up.

I've noticed their menu prices are twice that of any other Chinese restaurant, is it worth it ? I'm very confused by their price how they stay in business?

Their portions are huge. We always take home a meal for the following day. Also... their food is just that good!

Do you need reservations on a Thursday night, or can you just show up?

Should be able to just show up.

Our group ate here on a Friday night. Usually this place is a treat (there are some nights where I…read morewould do horrible things for their table noodles), but this experience was not the best... the food itself was delicious. Noodles on point, shrimp wonton soup excellent, and the shrimp with broccoli entree was pretty good too (albeit a little heavier than I anticipated). Our dissatisfaction came from the service. INCREDIBLY slow given the restaurant wasn't packed. It took an unacceptable amount of time from when we sat down to when our waiter even arrived, and even longer to get the complimentary noodles and tea. Even when we finally placed our order, it took over 30 minutes for a couple of appetizers and 4 entrees, one of which they got wrong... and what was probably most irritating is that the staff spent more time and attention cleaning a table that just finished eating, rather than attending to diners still in the restaurant. And it was after 8pm when they close at 9, it wasn't like another party was coming in for that table. I love this place man, but ya gotta be better.

It's in a strip mall off Jerusalem and Wantagh Avenues with ample parking, a few blocks south of…read morethe Southern State Pkwy. When entering, on the right side there are lots of tables and booths surrounded by window cases full of pretty teapots. A clay warrior statue in the front and back stand guard. On the left side is a partially open kitchen and the takeout register. The extensive menu covers various basic Chinese and Japanese selections. We shared the shrimp and spinach wonton soup to start. The broth was wonton, the spinach wasn't as soft as expected due to its inclusion of the stems, and the shrimp was a negligible part of the dumpling it was wrapped in. My son enjoyed their chicken and broccoli as well as their steamed vegetable dumplings. My wife and I enjoyed their 6 steamed crystal shrimp dumplings appetizer. So far, so good, but the big disappointment came with the boneless ribs appetizer. The sauce was good, but the pork was barely edible because it tasted as if it had been pre-cooked, left to harden and dry, before being re-heated and served ... not fresh and way too chewy. I ordered it because another Yelper had recommended them, so maybe that dish isn't consistently what it should be? I had also been to Jani's about ten days earlier and it was much better. Me and the cousin I was with split the Lake Tung Ting Shrimp and Moo Shu Beef, so I can recommend both of those. On weekends, a reservation is a good idea.
