Kwong Ming is an classic 70's kind of Chinese restaurant. With classic rock music playing in the background, Kwang ming delivers delicious dishes and huge portions. It is one of the only restaurants left that still have large egg rolls. Every dish we had was delicious. Our waiter was very friendly and accommodating. There is a reason that this restaurant has been around this long. read more

I had been going to Kwong Ming for years and then life got in the way and we hadn't gone in a while. This was our go to place for sit down and take out. It was always over-priced but you got what you paid for; Delicious, outstanding food! Sadly, that isn't the case anymore. These days they are hit or miss. Some dishes are still good but a lot of dishes are just not good anymore. They are a lot of money for hit or miss meals...no thanks. The service is Kwong Ming...lol...some waiters are amazing and some rush you and stare you down so you will leave. The ambiance is still old school Chinese restaurants. read more

2/27/26. Party of 8. Some people really like this place but I think it's overhyped. Portions were on the larger side but their prices are a bit high. The dumplings/wontons had a very thick skin, the soup was warm at best and the garlic sauce was not spicy in the least. Service was just alright but relatively slow. How can a Chinese restaurant no longer have pistachio ice cream?? Settled for chocolate but it had freezer burn. read more

Kwong Ming Restaurant - 2/27/26 receipt - Chinese Near Me - Wantagh, New York

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. read more

Seeing that this restaurant has been around so long I really have to say that the food is just ok. We arrived around 3:30 pm for an early dinner and maybe there was 4 other tables. Food came out pretty fast and was just warm almost like they reheated it. We all had chicken dishes and the chicken was very tough. Service was ok even though the waiter messed up my friends order. He took the order back in the kitchen and it came out pretty fast with the right order, again just warm and the rice was cold.. Bathroom was in a need for a good cleaning and the mirrors in the dinning room need to be cleaned. They really need to work on the food. read more

Came in with a party of six for a birthday. Two of the sweet and sour chicken dishes were inedible. Heavily breaded and tough and one turned out to be pork. Chicken egg foo young was disgusting. Hardly any egg, heavily breaded and drenched in oil. Not edible. Others enjoyed their meals. I'll stick to local takeout which is highly superior. read more

Consistently delicious. always ready on time and HOT for take out. husband is partially disabled so we eat take out now but we have never had a problem with the quality of the food or the service read more

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. read more

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. $$$ read more

Kwong Ming Restaurant - Wonton soup, broth is dark but excellent - Chinese Near Me - Wantagh, New York

Very disappointed. Hot and sour soup is amazing but not at that price and size. The shrimp dumplings were frozen! And not all shrimp. The dim sum was a large ball. Not tasty. Crispy duck was good but very fatty. Nothing else on the plate! The rest was fair. Way overpriced and not that good to return. Service was good and the place looks a bit outdated. Not returning. I look for another place in the area read more

Came back from Florida for a visit. Havent been to Kwong in 3 years or so. WOW.... what happened ? Bring you wallet, but not your appetite. SAD was a favorite for many years. read more

Worst food that i have had in the past 40 years in any restaurant. BBq ribs were so over done...and dark brown. Huge eggroll... had enough grease to i could have used on an oil change for my car.. just downright bad. Egg foo young (had not seen that on a restaurant inyears) again very greasy... just a bad experience read more

Amazing , delicious food. Why is it so expensive ???? Twice as much as anywhere else.

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. read more

I have lived nearby this restaurant for the better part of two decades, and I have never tried it before. Let me tell you, I wasn't missing anything. The food is average Chinese cuisine; so where they get the idea to charge prices as if they were Billy Hong's off second Ave. in the 50s in Manhattan, or David K's or Mr. Chow, I won't soon understand. The service is strangely bad. The people who brought me here, suggested that these waiters have been working here for decades; well that's obvious. I am rarely critical of restaurants, but this just seemed obvious. Our waiter suggested a lobster dish, when asked for his opinion; what he brought us was two orders, in pie plates, of a whole Lotta scallions and something resembling Chinese food that was just chewy and doused in a sauce that was supposed to be ginger. I didn't check to see how much these two lobster dishes set us back, but I'm sure they were among the most expensive things on their menu, which, as I said is highly pricey for this fare. Oh well, live and learn. I hope I don't return; can't imagine why I would. read more

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

Hot and cold . I've gone to Kwong Ming for 50 years. On and off. I always loved their egg rolls. The entrees are either excellent or horrible. No middle ground there . Good luck if you try read more

Did takeout. Good as ever but my grandma ordered chicken chow mein and it came in a brown sauce and she wasn't happy with that. On the other hand she ate most of it. read more

The food, service and ambiance!! 30+ years ago, it was one of the best on Long Island. It is sooooo sad that it is very expensive and yet the quality of food is terrible!! read more

I've been going Kwong Ming for 25 years and while prices have gone up I still love the food. being Very busy i get the lunch specials and you definitely get a great lunch for a competitive price. I'll take a hot lunch from Kwong Ming over a $15 hero from a deli any day. The owner is always polite and respectful and the food is very good read more

After reading all the positive reviews, I was excited to try the won ton soup and egg rolls among other offerings. One night, my wife wasn't hungry, so soup and egg roll it was! The egg roll was everything it was cracked up to be! Tasty, and without a doubt... the largest egg roll I've ever seen. The soup? It was OK, but honestly, I've had better. The broth had a strange flavor, and the wontons were quite dense. Speaking of dense, the pork dumplings were way too thick with dough... to the point they felt undercooked. read more

They have homemade egg rolls, but you can't call ahead and ask for them to have special ingredients or eliminate some things you might be allergic to the other food is pretty average again service is uneven it's typical busy cold ambience of any Chinese restaurant. It's been in the same location for forever. You really can't go wrong, but there's so many places to get Chinese food on the island other than the eggrolls not much is not notable. read more

Oh My! What a gem this place is! Growing up our family would frequent a local Chinese restaurant and celebrated many a New Years Eve there as well. Time has passed and that way of service and food are a thing of the past, or so I thought! Visiting my sister and family I was missing certain foods and they recommended a walk down memory lane with a visit to this establishment. Decor is authentic Chinese plus the linen table cloth and condiments. Menus given and crispy noodles with dipping sauces arrived. This is something you don't see anymore and I was pleasantly surprised. We ordered off the family style menu where we chose two items from one column and two from another. Hot green tea arrived then our first course of Wanton soup with extra green onion and sliced pork! Next up egg rolls all around. These are the real deal egg rolls thick and crispy, wish every place could master these. Then came our main courses. Four large platters with both white and brown rice. So amazing! We had left overs there was so much food. Then came dessert of ice cream and fruit. Just like the restaurants of days gone by did. This was a memorable experience and highly recommend. I look forward to returning on my next trip to LI. read more

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

Love love love the pan fried wontons, I could eat it every single day. I am very impressed with the authenticity of the food, one of the few places in Long Island that serve authentic Chinese food. My boyfriend is obsessed with the egg rolls and the shrimp toast as well as the pu pu platter. The beef chow fun was delicious! The sesame chicken was really good too, love when it's real white chicken and you can taste it. The waiter and the staff are extremely nice and even entertaining. Definitely my go to Chinese food spot. read more

Best Chinese food in New York. I wish I could get nearly half as good in FL Sadly to far for delivery.

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

My husband and my best friends husband both grew up in Wantagh and they had such fond memories of Kwong Ming so we all decided to go. Didn't know what to expect from all these mixed reviews but it was excellent! Food was fantastic and so much of it. Didn't love the egg rolls, which they are known for but the beef, chicken and spare rib tips we ordered were all top quality and so tasty. We loved it and can't wait to get back. The restaurant may be old school, but we grade it an "A". read more

Oh Kwong Ming...I've heard many things. Finally made in! Very old-school Chinese for sure! "Column A, Column B" as well as other classic and American-ized Chinese dishes. My mom and I decided to order of the columns. With this meal choice we each got soup, choice of appetizer and dessert. For soup, I chose wonton and my mom chose egg drop wonton. For appetizers we both chose egg rolls. Soup and egg roll was excellent. Wontons had huge pieces of pork and the egg roll was tasty and not greasy. We also ordered shrimp dumplings as an appetizer. It came with 8 dumplings and was also fantastic in flavors. For our entrees, we chose shrimp in lobster sauce from column a, and boneless spareribs from column b. Very delish!!! The shrimp with lobster sauce came with 8 jumbo shrimp! Very generous portion. We also ordered pork fried rice, which was also yummy. Nothing at all was salty, which is very surprising when it comes to Chinese food. Very generous portions all around...we have enough leftovers for another 2 meals. Service was good, and we weren't rushed at all. Happy I finally made it here! read more

I have not been here in years, but the restaurant we usually order from was closed. I ordered an egg roll, fried wontons and steamed chicken and broccoli. The bill came out to $53 which I think is very high. The other restaurant I order from would have been half the price and as good or better taste. read more

Love this place. Been going to 40 years. Has changed hands a few times but currently is excellent. Great drinks and classic food. A dying breed. A Chinese restaurant you can sit down in and enjoy a real meal. Love the classic drinks. A zombie, wonton soup and an egg roll to start thank you. read more

After missing out on a friends Chinese night out and wife raving about Kwong Ming I had to take my family ASAP. We ordered all the favorites and they were all delicious. If some one mentions kwong Ming they usually mention the famous egg rolls. Well now I know why so huge delious and right up there with the best tasting egg rolls I had. We ordered a lot and we all agreed they serve some yummy Chinese food. Unfortunately we didn't care for the shrimp & lobster sauce. The shrimp texture was off and manager came right over and asked if we wanted it replaced or taken off bill. Glad we finally tried Kwong Ming and will be back for sure. read more

Worst place ever, they used to be very good. The food used to be delicious now it's salty, greasy, hard and dry! The wonton soup was the best now the broth tastes like dish soap! The waiters are very old grumpy PREJUDICE PEOPLE! I told the owner he actually already knew this new employees were like this.The owner smelled like he soaked himself in a BATH OF URINE! He also used to be very professional about his business. I let him know I won't be returning and the workers have the nerve to be PREJUDICE!! I'll spend my money elsewhere! It's not worth my time and money with hard dry over cooked greasy salty food! read more

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

I have been there several times and loved the food and the services. The owner is a very nice person. This time it seemed they were short of help, so everything took a bit longer than usual which was fine, But the waiters were absolutely rude. My sister asked for more mustard and the waiter said what we had was enough. Anything we asked for was ignored or an attitude was given. The food this time was mediocre at best. The boneless ribs were very fatty, and our meals came out cold. The bathrooms were filthy and disgusting! My family and I decided that we will not be returning. We don't need to eat a place where the waiters have as much personality as a glass of water! and where the food is no longer as good. And clean! read more

A classic Chinese restaurant. Good food and good service. I recommend trying to get seated in the main room which is much prettier. Overall always good experiences. read more

Tonight enjoyed Kwong Ming immensely. I haven't been here in years, only because I don't live in the area. So glad we decided to return. This long standing landmark restaurant is inexpensive and full service. Service was excellent and food was delicious. At first sitting we were set up with noodles, duck sauce and hot tea. My chicken chow mein combination meal arrived hot and yummy. This chow mein was surprisingly in a brown sauce. I was told that this is how they make it in China and is rarely found on Long Island, I loved it. Came with hot soup of choice, I had wonton, my favorite. Plus ice cream dessert of choice. We will be back very soon. Don't hesitate to pay them a visit. read more

I took my mother here because I knew she would love this place. It was like stepping back in time. The staff is excellent and the food is yummy. The Wonton egg drop soup was delicious. The egg roll would be perfect if they had a bit more pork. The shrimp and lobster sauce is good. The roast pork egg foo yong was really good. The spare ribs are awesome. This is not Gourmet food. It is solid Chinese American old fashioned Chinese restaurant food at its best. It's just a feel good kind of place and I'm happy that it's around read more

When I lived on Long Island, I patronized a couple of Chinese takeout joints, but when it came to dining in, there were two that I frequented. One was Palace of Wong, which is sadly gone. The other was Kwong Ming, and I remember it being very good. I re-visited New York this weekend from Florida and my son wanted Chinese so I thought of Kwong Ming. Well, it was even BETTER than I remembered. On a Saturday night and as crowded as it was, we were seated immediately; this restaurant is huge. We were promptly served the usual beginner items: noodles, duck sauce, mustard, water and tea. My son never tried Chinese tea before, but he did here, and he liked it. The service was phenomenal. The wonton soup was out of this world and just as I remember having it as a kid, with the bok choy, spinach and pork pieces. My local Florida restaurants don't have those ingredients in their soup. Next was the egg roll. WOW!!!!!!! The biggest, FATTEST, tastiest egg roll I have had in a looooong time. I would swear that this one egg roll would equal 2 or 3 in any other restaurant or takeout. It's almost a meal in itself. Then, the combination platters came which I thought would be minimal portions. WRONG!!! I ordered Chicken Chow Mein with Pork Fried Rice and the plate was LOADED!!!!! I already knew looking at it that most of it was going in a doggie bag as I was already full from the soup and the half egg roll. Our waiter was so efficient and delightful; he packaged my leftovers so quickly. I couldn't even finish my pineapple chunks for dessert, and he packaged those as well. I ate them on the plane the next morning as "breakfast" before we took off for Florida. My chow mein also came on the plane with me and I did eat it later that day for lunch and it was delicious!!! It was the best chow mein I have had since I'm a kid. He even gifted us each 2 almond cookies, which are typically an extra charge. Being that this restaurant is classically decorated, has absolutely delicious food and wonderful service, I felt compelled to write this review. IF ANYONE WANTS AMAZING OLD-WORLD STYLE CHINESE FOOD, this is the place. Their menu includes Family Dinners for 2, 3 and up. We never see that in Florida. YOU MUST GO HERE. It's on Jerusalem Avenue in Wantagh, NY. I'll definitely eat there again the next time I visit New York. BRAVO KWONG MING!!!!! read more

Great food and service. The old style Chinese ambiance reminded of she. I went to Chinese Restaurants when I was a kid.
