    This is a solid Chinese food spot on Long Island. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I've brought my family here and we enjoyed quite a few dinners here.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I heard they also have dim sum but I haven't personally tried it. Service is decent but it's better if you speak Chinese, we've tried speaking English to some of the servers and they don't always understand what you're saying. I really enjoy the fried fish fillet with salt and pepper seasoning from here.

    We've been here multiple times and it's definitely our favorite dim sum on LI! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Today we arrived as they opened at 11am to celebrate Lunar New Year![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our daughter happened to be off from school and we thought it would be the perfect place to celebrate. They had the carts rolling along and we were able to grab most of our favorites that way but put in a separate order for some dishes as well. We had the roast pork turnovers, egg tarts, custard buns, shrimp stuffed eggplant, har gow, Xiao long bao, shumai, pork and chive dumplings, turnip cakes, shrimp rice noodles, and sticky rice in lotus leaf. Every dish was better than the last and also very fresh. Service is always very pleasant, the waitress even took the time to teach my daughter how to properly use chopsticks! Can't wait for our next meal here!

    First impression- [[HIGHLIGHT]]ambiance is your typical Chinese dimsum restaurant a little dark, reasonably clean but at least the fish in the tank is still swimming and alive![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] That's a plus + Food (review is just for dimsum) is mid, can't say they are super delicious but they aint the worst. I say stick with the spare ribs, shrimp rice rolls and shrimp dumplings and you'll be alright. The siumai and chicken feet were decent. Definitely stay away from the turnip cake cause was all dough all day no filling, the only positive from the turnip cake is at least it's crispy on the outside. Service was surprisingly good, maybe we went early and there weren't too many people. Got a tea refilled a few times and no slamming food on table, I take that as a W especially for a dimsum place woohoo!

    Chicken Lettuce Wrap (4) very good

    I've never been a huge fan of the Bethpage Orient, but my dear friend is and this location is mid way between her home in Bayville & mine in Westbury. There's not many exciting places to meet up, tonight we decided to try Orient Odyssey. I hadn't been here since the first weeks after they opened. It did not disappoint and I look forward to returning. Everything that we ordered was exceptionally fresh & well prepared. Service was excellent, the folks here are used to dealing with the locals who know what they want and we watched how interactive the staff was when taking orders.. they have large round tables with a lazy susan which is always great for large parties. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The decor is nothing special, the seating is oddly set up & spaced out, almost an afterthought around the comfy green pleather booths.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] A few large TV's up high on the walls with the Met game on. Very solid, old time Chinese restaurant with an extensive menu that included traditional dishes as well as favorites typical of Long Islanders. Though I did not notice a pupu platter ! Loved the string beans with chilis, Chinese broccoli steamed w some garlic, eggplant shrimp appetizer and chicken lettuce wraps. Jasmine tea upon request.

    It's sad to note that we've never noticed Orient Odyssey, a charming Chinese Hong Kong Style Restaurant, that we overlooked for years. Perusing the lunchtime menu, I was very happy to see Dim Sum options available in addition to the usual Chinese fare. My knowledge of Dim Sum kicked in so I asked my colleagues if they've ever tried Dim Sum and if they mind if I ordered a few items. I'm no Dim sum expert, but will say I gained some know how from my invitations to Flushing brunches by my Yelp friends...looking at you TC and Anna! These experiences allowed me to take the lead on ordering my Dim Sum choices. Our obligatory Lazy Susan circled our table with complimentary Hot Tea to start us off and then the non-stop flow of orders started trickling in. Two orders of each - Turnip Cakes, Crispy Fried Taro Puffs, Crispy Spring Rolls, Shu Mai, Leek Dumplings. Plus, staple lunch orders for the not so adventurous or so they thought...Chicken and Broccoli, Spiced up General Taos Chicken and another Spiced up Shredded Pork dish. Each lunch order, as is customary came with Egg Rolls and Fried Rice. For this party of five we way over-ordered. But over ordering allowed everyone to get a taste of everything which garnered a ton of mmm's and ahh's. Their initiation to Dim Sum was a huge success! Pat on the back for Pat. :) I respect and admire restaurants like this as the food did not disappoint, the service was friendly and considering all that was ordered our tab was extremely low. Orient Odyssey, you will never again be overlooked.

    This place is super convenient for satisfying a craving for dim sum on Long Island! It's definitely not the same as going to Flushing, Queens but still makes for a tasty brunch on the weekends. The service is pretty good and they're pretty efficient given how busy it can get sometimes. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I will say that sometimes the chairs and windows are a little dirty which ruins the experience a little[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] but overall it's an easy place to go to and is right next to Whole Foods, Marshall's, and some salon and bagel places.

    My son with dim sum!

    Since moving to Long Island from queens it has been hard to find authentic dim sum or dim sum in general. My friend told me about this spot, she lives around the area. I live about 20 mins further out and did not know about this place. There is plenty of parking which is a big plus! Upon walking in, the ambience was welcoming. The hostess greeted my son and I and seated us immediately. The restaurant was clean, tables were clean, menu was neat and clean, and the vibe of the restaurant was nice, crisp, modern, and clean. They have a nice selection of wines behind the counter on display and available to purchase. The ladies were walking around with carts and there were other servers checking in on us asking if we needed anything else. My son and i got our usual faves : 1. Shiu mai 2. Shrimp noodle 3. Turnip cake 4. Beef stew with turnip 5. A side of rice It was sooooo delish!! We didn't finish it all! We were able to take it home and have it for dinner. Which by the way, tasted just as good!! We definitely are going to start coming here for dim sum!

    Do you serve dim sum brown beef tripe stew (niu Za) on weekdays too?

    When do you serve dim sum?

    On the weekend

    Can I BYOB to this restaurant and is there a corkage fee?

    They now have a liquor license so call first and ask.

    This place is really fantastic-great menu was super tasty soup dumplings and the sushi was amazing…read moreas well. We got the orange flavor chicken and it was cooked to perfection. The prices are very reasonable for the food you get, everything came out quickly and tasty. The menu was so big, my friends and I will need to go back to try some of the other dishes. I loved how we ordered on an IPAD-it was great to see all the dishes we were ordering before we got the food. This was my first time that I went to a restaurant where all the ordering was done on an IPAD, I loved this way of looking at the menu and ordering! I do not eat red meat and there were plenty of chicken and vegetarian options to choose. I cannot wait to return to try more of the sushi as well as the soup dumplings again-so tasty! This is a GREAT place to go to before seeing a show at the Westbury Music Fair (it is only about 5-10 minutes away and the service is very quick-they almost rush you out)!

    We went as a part of seven on a weekday night and had to wait a few minutes before being seated…read morewhich was ok. We made reservations for 7:30 and were seated by 7:35. All good there. The hibachi table we sat at was impossibly close to the wall on the left as you walk in. In order to get into a seat you had to remove a chair to get into and seat yourself sideways onto the seat and then the next person would have to do the same. There were at best two servers for the room of six hibachi tables. Drink orders came after 20 minutes and then the children's drinks were forgotten. What was delivered was good, though. Hot sake and a sakatini paired with a beer. We felt bad because there was only one hibachi chef working and he had a full house. He did well and tried to provide good service even though he had to work non- stop. A good but not great show while we were being served. Not taking anything away from him because he really was swamped. Food was good and delivered either hot or cold and nothing to complain or rave about. One of the most "on par" meals I've had in a while. Prices were standard Long Island prices if not a few dollars per item elevated in comparison to other hibachi restaurants. Overall, fair for a decent meal.

Yes "how long" has it been since I've been going to Bagel Boss 37 feet away and Staples just beyond but never ventured into " Leung How". Love the owner Susan and her energy. Great welcome and loved her handling and prepping all the take out orders and the phone ones as well. I ordered the Egg Drop soup which was light and tasty and the fried tofu in garlic sauce with veggies n extra sauce. The veggies - fresh and so good; quality too as in really good mushrooms and excellent broccoli. The noodles were crisp. This sauce was better than any I have had in Bethpage or Albertson. It is always cool to hear what everyone else gets. I heard Egg Foo Young; spicy chicken and pork friend rice. Hey got to explore and expand my taste buds beyond my groundhog monotone boring same thing again self. This is a simple, unassuming no frills place which just churns out awesome food. Once again, Susan took the time and really took care of me. I am hooked. Can't wait to come back. 5 Stars!!!!!

Over18.00and I was asked if I wanted white rice or brown . I said brown. Seems I was charged 1.00 more for this. I asked for and got a container of of sauce on the side.
