This is one of my favorite spots on Long Island! The food is consistently amazing. Some of my must-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. read more

While the atmosphere of the restaurant was lovely, the food was really not worth it. I ordered Pork and mixed vegetables- they gave me beef. Not thoroughly cooked either. 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. read more

Wonderful experience. We've been coming here for years, it's been consistently amazing. On a rainy day, you can't beat the West Lake Beef soup and wontons in chili oil. That would be enough for two, but we also ordered the fish Dry Pot and Szechuan mei fun, which paired nicely. The Dry Pot came sizzling hot! This is one of their best dishes, although they have an extensive menu. They have many authentic Szechuan dishes, you can definitely branch out into the unknown, if brave enough. The service was excellent! It's a clean quaint restaurant. We will be back. read more

Love this Chinese restaurant! It's hard to find good Chinese food on Long Island and I'm very particular in what I like. This place is great cause it's not like the regular hole in the wall Chinese food place. This place serves alcohol and is more upscale vs the typical Chinese food spot! Staff here is always professional and very friendly. I need to come and eat here one day, I mostly order for take out, but the food is always consistent and very great quality! The general Tao's chicken is my go to with house special fried rice! The house special fried rice comes with chicken, shrimp, and pork in it. Very good and the chicken is white meat and very great quality! Egg rolls here my wife swears are the best because she says they're not too greasy and very crispy! I can't vouch for that because to me an egg roll is an egg roll! Fried dumplings here are very good though and the chicken lomein is solid. Overall this place is the best Chinese food surrounding deer park! They're located in Commack but I'll take that 20 min drive for solid Chinese food. The best Chinese food to me on Long Island is Hunan taste in Greenvale but this is closer. Love this place and highly recommend! You won't be disappointed. read more

Pretty sad... we asked for very spicy... the fortune cookies had more flavor.... the broccoli was just plain raw, no spicy nothing... beef lo mean and pork lo mein....pedestrian... anemic...General Tso chicken was sweet only... no other identifying flavor...... as we've noted... this take out was not worth the price of delivery....do better. read more

Enjoyed a lovely dinner with family. Service was fast and friendly. Food was delicious as always. Came home with plenty of leftovers. Parking can be tight if you come during the busy hours. read more

Finally got around to trying Spicy Home Tasty after hearing quite a bit about it. Let's get straight to it, I ordered their chicken wings with vegetable fried rice and shrimp lo mein lunch specials. The lo mein was nice and dry how I like it, you get a little punch from the ginger too, shrimps nice and plump. The fried rice was also good, pretty standard. The wings were a high crime though. I'm questioning if these are made in house? They're strikingly similar to bodega hot food wings... if you know you know. Quite a shocker really, a Chinese restaurant of this caliber possibly not making their own wings? It's definitely a choice. These were so disappointing I went out and bought a proper order of chicken wings with pork fried rice from my local spot to compensate. On basis of wings alone, this place gets a fat zero but the shrimp lo mein was genuinely tasty and the service was fine. I'm sad I didn't opt for the dry pepper chicken instead, but that's what next time is for I suppose, not impressed. read more

Truly a spicy, homey, tasty place to go, and the food was really chinese comfort food that kept me sweating from start to finish. The place was packed when we went for dinner, and the inside was freezing cold, which we couldn't figure out why until we started eating. The food is crazy spicy, and they warn you well ahead of time, so if you're in the mood for this, dive in, cause this spot delivers. Very friendly service, accommodating, and attentive to what you need, great teamwork from everyone. Also, very affordable to go for dinner, priced just right with very generous portions, applause all around. 4/5 stars! Definitely will go here again. read more

Very good food. We usually get the same waitress, Alisa I think. She is the best. I just don't recommend the beef negamaki, was dry when we got it. Sushi is very good. Dry pot is very good. Soup, dumplings, all good. Highly recommend read more

I read a lot of good reviews for Spicy Home Tasty, so I wanted to give it a try. I think this is one of those rare cases where I don't think the reviews were right. I had the Tom Yum Soup, Scallion Pancakes and Beef Dry Pot, and would say that everything was just okay. I thought the food would have more flavor. Service was not good. Our waitress was rude and rushing us. The restaurant does look nice. read more

Another delicious meal at Spicy Home Tasty! This time got to have the dine in experience with two friends, so we tried a little of everything. The inside is clean and cute, and the service is exceptional. They took the time to speak with us and, once they knew we wanted to explore what they had to offer, they guided us on some solid picks. Dumplings with chili sauce is a must get. They were making dumplings while we were there! Made fresh every day. Dandan noodles were delicious, and honey ribs topped off our apps. I had never tried a dry pot, and loved the flavors with the Szechuan peppers singing through. They can alter the heat level for you if you want more or less. The chicken and eggplant in garlic sauce was new to me and very enjoyable, and the waitress suggested the shrimp in fresh garlic that came with tons of fresh veggies. Can't wait to come back! read more

After a few months of not ordering from this restaurant- since the general tasos was the not good the last 3/4 times we ordered. It use to be the best on Long Island in our opinion. However tonight we decided to give it another shot, we ordered- chicken & broccoli, dumplings on chili oil & 2 eggs rolls. It was just as we remembered it- delicious, fresh & better than any other spot. The addition of the egg roll- perfect, they are the most scrumptious egg rolls. We are nervous to try the general tasos but may give it one final try since the food today was on the money!!! read more

This is a family staple for lunch. Even though prices went up after the pandemic, the taste is authentic and cooked to our palate's liking. We come here whenever we're hungry given there aren't many Chinese restaurant options here. Service is fast, friendly and helpful. Parking is ample in their lot. Most importantly, their meals feel home cooked for those who like Sichuan cuisine! read more

I'm not really a fan of Chinese food. I just think it's generally greasy and unhealthy. I wouldn't say that spicy home tasty was neither of those things but I would say it's far better than a take out place. The food was fresh and quite flavorful. The wait staff was friendly and attentive. I honestly can't believe I'd ever give a Chinese place 5 stars but here we are! read more

I wanted dan dan noodles and drove 30 mins to have them. I arrived and was the only one in the restaurant besides the staff for a little while. Loved the ambiance of the place. I ordered the dan dan noodles, they were perfectly spicy...also ordered some fried dumplings...and they were tasty...but it was the noodles I was after. It definitely hit the spot, was very happy I came. Staff was great and accommodating. They were all eating as well...their lunch time I suppose. read more

This restaurant has been all over Newsday for a while as among the best Chinese food on Long Island, so I was looking forward to trying it but also tentative after reading some of the reviews following its transfer of ownership in 2020. The verdict: I've been missing out. The classics don't disappoint. Their chicken and broccoli and hot and sour soup were both flavorful. While the chicken was cut on the larger side, the broccoli was rather hard, and the dish was too garlicky for my preference, it was still a solid dish worth ordering on its own. Their hot and sour soup (big enough to serve two people) was thick and dense with what seemed like root vegetables. Foo Luck in Commack has a lighter yet spicier broth in their hot and sour. The dumplings were the real star of the show, or should I say its chili oil. The pork dumpling itself was mainly a vessel for that sweet and spicy chili oil, which we proceeded to put on the remainder of our meal, especially the rice. I wasn't particularly impressed with the hot sauce style dish, whose chicken was in a bland broth, but I also wasn't the one to order it. My partner said she liked it enough. We ate on a Friday night after the rush and the place was relatively empty. Four other tables came and went as did a parade of take-out. The inside is unadorned with a fair amount of tile and little ambiance. Still the wait staff was very attentive, tipping us off for the dumplings and keeping our water glasses full. In all, it was a great meal and I look forward to returning. One note is that the parking is rather tight. Until it's expanded, you'll likely need to be patient and comfortable with jockeying. read more

Spicy Home Tasty is honestly the best Chinese spot I've ever been to. Every dish is packed with flavor, super fresh, and cooked perfectly. You can taste the quality in every bite. The portions are generous, the prices are fair, and the food comes out hot every single time. Their seasoning is on point -- spicy when you want it, rich and savory, and never oily or bland like other places. You can tell they put real care into everything they make. I've tried a bunch of items on the menu and every single one has been a hit. Zero misses. On top of that, the service is fast, the staff is friendly, and the whole vibe of the place just feels welcoming. If you're craving legit, flavorful, high-quality Chinese food, you NEED to try Spicy Home Tasty. I promise you won't regret it. Highly, highly recommend. This place deserves all the stars! read more

There are Chinese restaurants EVERYWHERE, esp. in my old "stomping grounds" on the Jericho Tpke. corredor of the Huntington "region," but THIS place, with the tough to remember name (Spicy, Tasty Home? Home Tasty Spicy?? Tasty Spicy Home???) is really in a whole separate category. You can tell right away you're in for something special when you arrive and discover that their parking lot is FULL, and NOT just with people waiting for "to-go" orders. This cozy, non-fussy Szechuan restaurant is (IMO) a MUST dine-in experience, not because of the "ambiance," which is nice, but because I simply CAN'T imagine the wonderfully eclectic, nuanced tastes (of which we barely skimmed the surface... Such an extensive, TEMPTING menu!!) neeeeeds to be enjoyed as soon as it emerges from the kitchen!! We started off with dumplings in hot sauce (awesome!!) and a couple of DEEELICIOUS scallion pancakes, then shared our entrees, crispy rice w/shrimp, one of the best versions of Pad Thai I've had in a while, eggplant with garlic sauce (I always get that, but YUM!!!) and the VERY unique red dates and honey ribs chef's special, which was GREAT!! We needed about ten more people (or about a dozen more return visits...) to even come close to sampling a fraction of what's on their wonderfully tempting menu. YES, there are MANY Chinese/Pan-Asian choices in the area, good, great, and so-so, but DON'T miss this WONDERFUL choice if you're in the area. I'm already planning my return visit next time I'm HOME in NY!! read more

Everything about this restaurant was 5 Stars. Our first time trying we went for the lunch special. I couldn't have my dishes very spicy so the waitress suggested 1/2 hot & sour and 1/2 egg drop.. it was fantastic. We ordered 4 different lunch dishes.. 2 people.. but we wanted to try a variety and would bring home leftovers. The soup was great, the Spring Roll best I've had. Eggplant with Garlic Sauce, Chicken Chow Fun, Twice Cooked Pork and Shrimp with Lobster Sauce (in case everything was too spicy). My only 'complaint' is Spicy Home Tasty is a 1/2 hour drive, but we will be back. read more

it's amazing, friendly, clean and delicious. It's fun, healthy and so many choices.

Have done take always... and happy most times... today (well yesterday) was different . I ordered 7 meals...& sorry to report not everyone was satisfied. My vegetable dumplings had a very thick skin..chewy. The Crab Rangoon very little filling ..almost invisible...my daughter was actually angry...ok so these are the only complaints about the food. BUT I paid 214.00$$$ and no special freebies... yes J said it .!!! Usually at most places when I spend some bucks, I get some extra goodies Here I got 3 fortune cookies! Enough said. read more

The foods are very reasonably priced and they are very authentic. When I asked them for less sodium, the food really came out less salty, which is exactly what I wanted. I'm glad to find this great restaurant on Long Island. And the parking is super easy! read more

Amazing service, amazing food! We went as a part of 5, but soon after placing our order 2 of us had to leave (1 was going to come back after half an hour). Not only did the waitress lady help us pick what to get for a part of 5, she offered to pause the cooking while our friend came back so that the food would be served warm and fresh. She constantly checked up on us while waiting for our friend, and we finished 2 plates of scallion pancakes (it was that good!!). All of the dishes were amazing. The cucumber dish had a spice (I can't remember the name) that gave a tingling feeling to your tongue. Very unique, it's an experience. We enjoyed the food so much that just the 4 of us finished all of the dishes ordered originally for 5 people. (And an extra order of scallion pancake) Underrated spot, would totally go back! read more

Absolutely terrible. My wife & I both got sick. The Dan Dan noodles had peanut butter in it & was awful. Even though "Spicy"was in the restaurant's name, nothing was spicy. And, in fact, everything was bland. It was the worst General Tso chicken I ever had. My wife's chicken with green bean hardly had any chicken. I called them up and they couldn't care less. I swear, we threw out everything. My wife really got horribly sick. NEVER AGAIN! read more

Haven't been back in a while and they took a nose dive from my last review. We ordered takeout last week and I was really disappointed. I used to rave about them, but not this time. The salt & pepper pork ribs were basically deep fried breaded bones; barely any meat on it. The beef and string beans was basically dehydrated string beans with beef jerky. The Singapore Mei Fun was tasteless. The chow fun was meh. I'm pretty sure I won't be going back. It wasn't spicy and it wasn't tasty. read more

Consistently delicious food. Have been coming here for over 2 years. This is our go-to for Chinese hands down. Even though it's in the next town over, we never mind the drive.

Nothing is ever greasy or fatty here. read more

I came here on Sunday around 6PM. The parking lot is small, maybe 10 spots. The restaurant is smaller than I expected with 12 tables and are setup really close to each other. Inside was clean and filled with people quickly. There were 2 waitresses that taking orders, delivering food and printing bills. Lacks of staff lead to some tables weren't be cleaned after customers left and waiting time for new customers to ne served. Staffs are friendly. I order Tso Chicken and Honey ribs. They were both so so, not the best Chinese food I've had. Price is higher than normal Chinese places. I don't think I will come back again read more

Found this based on other yelp reviews, and went for lunch here today with my mom, (after a bad breakup yesterday with a long-time other food spot). The food is fresh!! It's real. Shared all plates and we were very pleased with the chili wonton, hot and sour soup, and Kung pow beef dish. We look forward to coming back and enjoying more of the offerings here! Now, with me, going out to eat is always about the food, but I do want to add that this restaurant is very charming. It's cozy, homey, with an understated elegance, and the staff are very friendly and accommodating. Very mom-and-pop vibe. This place is the balm! read more
