We ordered to take out and that was quick and and all pleasant. The food itself was...lacking in flavor. We ordered the egg drop soup with wontons, fried chicken wings, chow fun with shrimp, pepper beef, and moo goo Gai pan chicken. The egg drop soup was too thick, didn't have flavor, and the wonton skins were so thick. The fried chicken wings were underseasoned, but fine after adding soy sauce or dipping in the sweet and sour sauce they give for their fried wonton pieces. The pepper beef had no flavor and the shrimp in the chow fun were the tiny shrimp and the dish was extremely oily and lacked flavor. They gave us the moo goo gai pan sauce on the side and we didn't realize it until after our meal, which explained why we got the blanded chicken dish. With the sauce it was fine, but there are plenty other Chinese places nearby that I would much rather go to. read more

So far so bad This is a neighborhood staple with a dining room that is consistently packed, but I can't understand why. The classic general tso chicken was soft and underwhelming. The chicken with black bean sauce lacked flavor and only had chicken and huge chunks of green pepper instead of mixed vegetables. And worst of all the mixed dumplings were bland and mushy. There must be some good things on the menu but I'm done trying to figure out what they are. read more

So fat so bad. Broccoli over cooked and the sauce all i tasted in it was sugar and starch. Shrimps kind of over cooked and on the salty side. The white rice that this dishes come with was under cooked. I had to cooked my own rice at home which defeats the purpose of a takeout. Will never order from this place again. read more

The food came out so bad, they got my order wrong. They were rushing the order and not being patient and explain. During the paying the waiter got very upset and was pushing for a bigger tip. Quote "that's it" horrible service and food. Don't come here. read more

I love the food here ! Authentic Cantonese! Go here all the time. A+++. I have found no better in Nassau County.

This has been our go-to spot for years. On Sunday, we ordered ribs and fried rice to go. The next day, my husband and I were extremely sick, likely from food poisoning, which lasted 24 hours. read more

So far, so good , the food was good my business partner and I came for lunch. I had the egg foo young combination and an order of spicy tuna rolls. My business partner had the combination 3 ribs and 3 fried chicken wings with pork fried rice. He said the food was fresh and tasty. My egg foo young was made perfect, not burnt out over cooked. This was a very refreshing take on Asian cuisine in the area of authentic Chinese food at its best. read more

First off with all my Chinese reviews I usually very picky with this type of food so my review might be more bias, but I'll try not too. First of all, as all Asian restaurants service is ok, some servers are very hard to understand while some are manageable. While the food is above decent in the area, if not the best in the area. Usually busy, obviously more busy on weekends then week days. While the ambiance of the place is amazing! They have a little fish tank for the kids, lots of decorations and LED lights for an amazing vibe! Overall 3.6/5. (Note: better to dine in then take out for a better experience!) read more

They were very accommodating. We arrived around 7pm without a reservation. They didn't have any tables atm but we were able to wait for 20 mins and be seated. Decor: carpeted floors and carpets on the wall. Very retro. Starter: complimentary tea and crisps with duck sauce. Appetizer: I ordered chicken dumplings. They weren't my favorite. Very dense Entree: chicken and shrimp sizzler with veggies and brown sauce. Requested to be spicy. Was very tasty. (Not pictured). Serving size was large enough for 2 My mom had the string beans and shrimp in black bean sauce. Absolutely delicious. Tables are distanced. Temperature taking upon entree. read more

Go for lunch twice a month. Food is good and so is the service. I love the chicken with cashews and the shrimp with black bean sauce.

Price is good pork fried rice is my favorite they out they egg in it. Very good local spot

My family and I ordered and picked up dinner tonight. Their food was unbelievable. We ordered just about everything (it seemed). There was nothing but empty trays. We had pan fried dumplings, wonton soup, roast pork fried rice, chicken and broccoli, chicken and black bean sauce, crab Rangoon, and orange beef. Like I said, there was nothing but empty trays...absolutely delicious though read more

WHAT Happened!!!! I used to rave about this place ! something has changed , new owners new cooks I dont know , but the Food is definitely different, NOT GOOD , and the nerve to be expensive!! Bland , not fresh , the wonton with sesame sauce was horrible, read more

Horrible experience, it has been going down hill for a while, after tonight's experience we will never go back! i swear the fried rice was reused, the boneless ribs were all grizzle, just seemed dirty, I think they are going under. read more

Wow is all I have to say! After walking up and down the strip adjacent to the theater we decided to give this spot a try. It was packed, and I see why. Our waitress Sherry was fantastic. Ambiance - superb, cozy and clean. Food- delicious. Everything tasted cook to order, and NO MSG USED at all. It says it on the menu. Drinks - alcoholic drinks were strong. My boyfriends old fashion had him "bent" haha :) Overall a perfect way to end the weekend and start off the week. If you're in the neighborhood, please check it out. Beware parking is a little weird, but we went on a Sunday so the meters were off!! read more

I've walked past this place a bunch of time and always told my self I would give it a try. I finally went in for dinner and I was pleasantly surprised. The decor was a it outdated but the food made up for it. I had the shrimp and chicken low mein and my fiancé had the general tsos chicken and shrimp. The general tsos tasted more like sweet and sour but it was still delicious. The low mein was absolutely delicious and I would definitely recommend. We also shared a scorpion bowl and it was gooooood! I'd say give this place a try you won't be sorry. read more

I loved this place. It took me back to old school Chinese sit down restaurants. I went with my family; we loved it. The staff was very accommodating and friendly. The food was awesome: ribs were to die for, shrimp with bok choy, and house fried rice. Sweet chinese tea! Whew! I was all giddy with nostalgia! I seriously cannot wait to return. Side note: they are close to the movie theater which is a convenience. read more

Quality & taste of food has changed significantly Sesame Beef & Orange Beef was bland & came in huge pieces of tough & inedible meat. I was a loyal customer before & never will order again nor visit read more

A classic dine in Chinese restaurant. The atmosphere is clean and pleasant. A large dish of their fresh fried noodles with duck sauce and hot mustard is always a treat. The option to make an entree a whole meal is nice including appetizer, soup, and dessert. Two of us had half Peking duck which is wrapped in a flour pancake with cucumber, green onion and hoisin sauce with extra crispy drumsticks. Another companion enjoyed boneless ribs and the fourth has shrimp with honey roasted walnuts. A thoroughly enjoyable meal with great service. read more

Ordered take out. Food took longer than usual to arrive. Lukewarm when it got here. Missing brown sauce for the MooShu. Ordered 2 dinners and both were supposed to come with rice. Only 1 tiny container of rice came. They need someone who cares to check the outgoing orders. It didn't pay to call and wait as the food already wasn't hot. Not the first time this happened. P.s. only I fortune cookie for 2 dinners!!! read more

We bought take out from here in the late 90's until maybe early 2002. We were used to more authentic Asian cuisine, and simply lost interest. Trying not to be a snob. It reminded me if the respectable yet inauthentic old school Chinese restaurants. Fast forward post Pandemic many Yelp colleagues posted great reviews, so I decided to give them another try. Shrimp Egg Foo Young, Beef n Broccoli, Chicken w Snow Peas n Straw Mushrooms, and Boston and California Roll and Spicy Tuna. The rolls were good earning this place 4 Stars. The Chicken dish was the best if the lot. Plenty of delicate clear garlic straw mushroom sauce and velvety chicken. Delicious! The usual sauce enjoyed in Americanized Egg Foo Young and Beef w Broccoli was less salty, less greasy and very sparse. Hmm, I'm torn. It's definitely heathier, but I needed more sauce, more taste. Appreciate the lack of grease. Live to eat another day. The staff are courteous, the place is immaculate, and there's parking in the front. Get the rolls (maybe not the plain Boston Roll w cucumber and sparce imitation crab) and the Chicken dishes, stay away from traditionally heavy rich dishes. Higher post Covid prices but still reasonable. read more

Great traditional Chinese restaurant in Lynbrook to go with extended family and large parties. We ordered many plates for the table and everything came out quickly and fresh, but most of all delicious. Our waiter was so nice and friendly and funny. She took our large order and got everything right on the first try. Will definitely go back. read more

Food is excellent, services is good & fast. Have been here several times & will be back.

So Far so Good use to be our favorite Chinese restaurant. But the last 3 take out orders were not as good as they use to be! I don't know if they sold,changed owners or have a new cook but it's not the same as it use to be. We use to call our orders in and spoke to Paula. We ordered from her for so long she knew we were calling by the phone number. Everything we ordered was delicious. Apparently she is no longer there & when we asked about her they told us she retired. I don't know if this is true but ever since she's been gone the food is nowhere near as good as it used to be! I know everyone has an off day but after the last 3 orders something just isn't right. The sauces are different & the quality just isn't the same. Looks like I'll be looking for a new Chinese restaurant to try. read more

The worst food ever they change the chef. Another food is horrible. It was the worst beef of broccoli combo I ever had from there. They lost a good customer read more

I will not return here because of poor service, and unappreciated tip. 1. Forgot some of my food (I waited patiently but had to get up and ask for my missing rice). 2. want water refilled? Not! 3. I leave a tip based on the total, not on the taxes amount- and they complain about it? 7 people can pay what they want, not a forced 20% service charge. Bill only gives 18/ 20/25% options. They even followed me outside to complain! Bye bye Not Good So Far.... And the food was just so-so. read more

Having returned to So Far So Good for the first time in a while (and the first time since the pandemic hit), I have to give another 5-star rating. Chinese restaurants like these are very hard to come by. With Asian Fusion and cheap takeout dominating the island, it's hard to find a modest, reliable, old school, high-quality sit-down Chinese restaurant like So Far So Good. I'm happy to say they continue to deliver quality during COVID! My wife and I ordered takeout recently because we were craving Chinese food. After placing the order over the phone we were told it would be ready in 20 minutes. We hopped in the car and headed over on schedule, and I immediately noticed the safety protocols: servers wearing masks, tables socially distanced, plexiglass at the takeout counter, and even 6-foot spaced lines of tape on the ground approaching the host stand. Our food was ready on schedule, so we brought it back in the car and headed home. Some places have seen declining quality since COVID, but not this place. The food was as good as ever! It was even still hot when we got home. We split the Sesame chicken, and something about the way they make it here is so comforting. Some Chinese restaurants will slather a heavy amount of sauce, but So Far So Good delivers great taste with a modest bit of sauce and quality chicken at the center. We also ordered the pork bun appetizers, which were so delicious I almost filled up on those alone. Quality quality quality. The staff, the prices, the flavors, the ambience, and the now the protocols. I'm so glad this place is still in business! read more

So my sister had been saying that this is their favorite Chinese restaurant and originally we were planning on doing something else but they asked us to meet them there. My mom and I had come from Roslyn but we got there before them and we were seated immediately. They brought tea and water and a huge bowl of crispy noodles with really good duck sauce and hot mustard. Omg the noodles! Soooooo good. About 20 minutes later my sister and nephew arrived. I ordered a hot and sour soup, it was delicious and as asked they added extra scallions on top. My nephew loves spareribs but he has a loose tooth so we ordered boneless ribs and he let us have a few. They were one of the best I've had. Not too fatty and cooked well. For entrees, we shared Sesame Chicken and half a Peking duck. The Sesame Chicken was ok, I've had better. I prefer the chicken thinner than in chunks. The sauce was a little sweeter than I like too. The duck was very good, loved the crispy skin. Service was very good and the restaurant was very busy, easy to find right next to the Lynbrook train station. I would definitely come back, and they offer every day Lunch Specials. read more

Came here with over 30 ppl. We had lunch family style. Ribs and egg roll and won ton soup for appetizer. Sesame chicken, lo mein, pork fried rice, and beef and broccoli for main course. Ice cream for dessert. It was $30 per person including tax and tip. You get water and tea. Soda is extra. read more

Food took 2 hours to arrive half of it was cold and the forgot parts of our order. The food that was warmish was good but not worth the 2 hour wait. When calling to check on our order we hung up on. read more

My favorite Chinese restaurant. I travel 30 minutes to come here . There's not many places on long island like this anymore. The food is always delicious and the staff is wonderful.

Long time customer, Put in a $112.00 order, took it home and was blown away on how flat and boring the food was. General So's chicken, no sauce on it and tasteless, egg drop soup- Yellow water - tasteless, Young chow rice, terrible, Moo Shu pork - plain and boring - hoisin sauce in packets and had very little pork in it. Whenever we would go there the dining room was packed, this time I went about 12 people were dining in, on a Friday night. They will never see our money again. Seeing that empty dining room - that's showing me that everybody else is catching on. NEVER AGAIN read more

This restaurant has been around for as long as I can remember. and only a few months ago, we ate there and had a good meal with good service. Decided to try take out recently and was so disappointed. We ordered an egg roll which they forgot but we were charged. Dumplings were rubbery and cheese wontons were greasy. Our four entrées looked the same and tasted the same. In addition, all were very greasy as well. $100 spent on a meal that was not so good. read more

well beer was cold an so was soup the pork fried rice re used not fresh chicken was skimpy in my chicken an broccoli wouldn't go back

Classic Chinese sit down restaurant- really loved our dining experience here. Bottomless hot tea and delicious fried noodles. Friendly, accommodating staff. Excellent food. Prices were reasonable too. Only con is parking can be tough sometimes due to the large movie theater down the road. But we will be back soon! read more

This used to be the ONLY place to go for decent Chinese food. It was more expensive than other "takeout" places, but worth it! Our dinner that we got delivered last night was absolutely disgusting. From the egg roll that was dripping grease and looked like it had been fried 3 times the inside was mush. To the chicken & stringbeans swimming in grease, the string beans were overcooked and shriveled. The pork in twice cooked pork were strongly little rubbery bits and whole dish was coated in cornstarch and completely tasteless. Wonton soup had no flavor and the wontons were bloated and mushy. But the prices are still so high! What a shame, we will never order from here again. read more

In a works where so many "old style" Chinese restaurants have gone the Asian Fusion" way its great to have the old style still available. Everything is prepared freshly and they always seem to be busy. Lemon Chicken was tender and the lemon seasoning was perfect and not overbearing. Fried wontons were crunchy and not greasy at all. Spareribs were very succulent and seasoned perfectly. General Tso's Chicken is a winner. Big Bowl Chopped Shrimp and Wonton Soup or Velvet Chicken Corn Soup. Yes. So you like spicy stuff. Huh? Your choice: shrimp with hot pepper and peanuts or a shrimp with Chili sauce. Both great. Love the Chow Fun and Ten Ingredients Lo Mein. Have the Crispy Duck! Parking on the street usually fairly easy. read more
