Food was average, dumplings was chewy, disgusting nd expensive. Service was a lil yuck but it wasnt overall bad. Its crazy because their food is better than most in the area but overall it could be heyter read more

Been coming here for dim sum and dinner for over 10 years! Reliable cantonese food on the island! They never disappoint! If I don't want to drive to queens for some decent canto food this place will be my place to order when I'm near home. They serve Americanize Chinese food and a lot of non Asian customer goes there but don't let it fool you. If you know what to order canto dishes wise they kill it!! read more

Returned last Saturday because my friend wanted to go to dim sum for Chinese New Year. The dim sum dishes weren't bad. I liked the eggplant stuffed with shrimp and the Stuffed fried Taro balls. While we were there, this group came in to do the Lion Dance so we had entertainment. read more

My husband and I grew up on HK food and have frequented the Orient over the last four years without issue. However, while food is servicable (neither here nor there as most dim sum dishes are prepared off-site and heated from frozen anyhow), we will not return again. Their management is shortsighted and unwilling to even try Samsung Pay - an option that functions on *every* credit card reader and one we've used successfully over the year with various merchants. When told that we would not return, they rolled their eyes and laughed as if not to care about repeat customers. This should serve as a huge red flag to any prospective patrons as it does not cost much to leave a good last impression... Considering the premium price we pay for the the convenience of dim sum near our home on LI, I recommend going instead to Fortune Wheel, Jani, or any of the other dim sum restaurants popping up around here these days. (Or try the multitude of places in Flushing) read more

First time and mostly will not come back. Good - got a table right away on Saturday - pineapple bun was warm, crusty and delicious Bad - siu mai and beef meatball were really horrible, tasted like frozen food - tables for two are very close to each other read more

Top notch service, quality food and plentiful portions. For the first time ever did I see a jumbo shrimp in a shrimp roll.

This was my family's go to Chinese restaurant growing up. Since moving out east, it's been a while since I've visited but I was in the area on a Saturday afternoon. My mom and I stopped in for a dim sum lunch and it was awesome. Service is so quick, and the dim sum came around on the cart so you can pick out what you want and then it's just placed on the table so you can start eating immediately. Super fast - we were in and out within 30 minutes. Shrimp dumplings, the best! read more

take out is awful especially when Tommy isn't here . everything arrives cold , soggy and wrong. when you eat in the restaurant when Tommy is there everything is great . wish I didn't order takeout . read more

Complete total hidden gem! Who would have thought good quality Chinatown-esque dim sum in Bethpage LI of all places?! We drove up and from the exterior it really didn't look like much however we saw a bunch of Chinese people sitting inside enjoying their meals as well as a bunch just leaving with their bellies full so we were content enough with that to go in and try it ourselves. The space is fairly large once you walk in with a full bar that greets you as you wait for the hostess to seat you. We came at the tail end of service, around 1:45, so it seemed we beat the rush. Still the food was fresh, hot and the selections were plentiful. 2 adults and 1 6yo starved after swim class, we chose 15 different items. Stand outs were their sticky rice wrapped in lotus leaf: this dish is always a hit or miss for me at most places but here the rice consistency was perfect, there was a very nice ratio of meat filing:rice as well and the entire thing was seasoned deliciously; the spare rib tips in black bean sauce: very meaty pieces of meat in a sauce that my 6yo literally drank from the little bowl it comes in; the chicken feet were huge and tasty; the crystal shrimp weren't over done and the shrimp had a fresh clean sweet taste; the egg custard tarts were so good that we ended up ordering a second round. At the end of our gluttony the bill with tax and tip came to $50. Not bad at all. We will most definitely be back! read more

Like any good Jewish person (although I am not really religious), I went to eat Chinese food with my family on Christmas day. Being one of the only open restaurants in the area, this place was packed. They obviously knew the long lines were coming and they were fairly organized about it. We only had to wait around 15 mins and we were seated. A little cart was brought around with buns and this was exciting because who doesn't like buns? Well vegeterians dont! They also had lotus flower pancakes for me which were AMAZING. It was more like a dessert. We ordered our meals and they were very fresh and steaming. I had the vegetable Moo shoo plate and the pancakes were fresh and the cabbage was not too greasy. I am pretty pleased to have found our new Chinese go - to. read more

Three of us ordered a fried chicken, but a very noticeable feather still attached on the tip of the wing. It was a fairly complete, dark color feather about one and a half inch long. Asked the waiter, the waiter said it just a little feather, you can remove it yourself, or just don't eat it. Then we called the owner, the owner also said it is common to see feather on the chicken, they didn't make any money on the chicken so it cant be that clean, but if you want no feather on your chicken, send in a special request next time and they will specially remove all the ends for us. Three minutes later, one of the waitress then bring another full fried chicken to SHOW us that there are feathers still attached on the chicken. I paid close attention, I did see a few. But at least none of them are one and a half inch long. I am not sure if I was overreacting, but it sure was very unpleasant. The dark feather was so noticeable it looks like a Halloween special. The worst part was during the conversion with both the waiter and the owner, they offer no courtesy to us for what we have to endure. Looked like they don't care if their fried chicken has feather or not and the conversion went nowhere. We paid in full and left with a take-away: Remember to order a "featherless fried chicken" next time. read more

Came here with my husband to eat dim sum and we were very excited to go out amidst the ongoing pandemic. My shrimp shu mai had a long piece of hair inside it. I almost vomited. My husband looked at me mortified and we flagged over our waiter who said "it is just a brush hair that we use to oil dumplings" I was not convinced. He did not even take the plate away. I felt queasy and immediately asked my husband if we could leave.. he promptly paid with credit card, and they charged us 39.40 instead on 36.40 because they said the "6 looked like a 9." The manager finally came out and scolded his staff, and corrected the billing error. We will never be returning. read more

Over the years the Orient has dramatically changed from a NYC style Cantonese enviornment to a more sophisticated Chinese restaurant...Tommy used to be in the dining room all the time and would comment to me "you never use a menu" that was because I could ask him whats good that day and he put the order in. This allowed us to try things I would normally never pick on the menu. The food is still always great, and their lunch time dim sum is fun, particularily on the week ends. Actually, I preferred the old Orient, but Tommy's vision is good also. We eat every Friday in Queens and go to the old fashioned chinese restaurants to enjoy the feel and ambiance....its a good thing read more

The Orient Restaurant - Dim Sum brunch Sunday - Dim Sum Near Me - Bethpage, New York

The Orient would have gotten 5 stars but for two things, we went for dim sum and quite a few items were sold out, so I didnt get to try all that I wanted and the food made me really thirsty, its funny because we had our usual pots of tea on the table the server asked if we wanted water, I said "no" he brought it anyway and said "you are going to need it"...he was right! The food was outstanding though and even though we were there around lunch time we were lucky to not have a wait. The prices are also really, really reasonable. There were 6 of us and 3 people ordered entrees as well as dim sum and the bill was just under $60. read more

Just had Dim Sum here over the weekend and wasnt too thrilled. Did not feel well after so not sure if it was something else I had the night before or just what i had for dim sum... The wait wasnt too long so that was the only plus. Dim sum carts/trays were very slow in coming around and the choices didnt vary as much as we'd like. One was touted as being shark fin dumplings and they just tasted and looked like pork dumplings. Not sure what made it shark fin?? The chicken feet were tasty but a lil overcooked so they were a lil mushy. Roast pork buns were good as was the sticky rice but the tofu skin rolls (meat or veggie) only had the tofu skin going for them, wasnt a fan of the fillings. We had a few other orders but I dont remember them. We happened to be in the area looking for a brunch spot and were too far from Fortune Wheel.....*sigh* read more

After a long wait when restaurants started to open for take-out and the dine-in, we were thrilled to learn "The Orient Restaurant" had resumed serving the same GREAT food with the same friendly staff, just fewer tables, and guests. We were greeted by Tommy the owner and his staff when we went for dine-in, The food was the same flavor profile and presentation as we remember it to have been 4 months prior to the massive C-19 shut down of NY businesses. we had a great meal and as usual, closed don the restaurant when we departed. One week later we ordered Take out as I did not want to go to eat out so we ate in. The food was as good as it was in the restaurant. The packaging was great no leaks and the portion size was the same, in fact, we made several meals out of the 3 dishes we took out using them as sides with different mains we cooked in house. Thanks to Tommy and his entire we felt safe and well-fed by you and your entire friendly caring staff at "The Orient Restaurant." We will be back again and again. read more

The food is awesome just the dinning service was very poor. We were with two younger kids and had to flag the staff down for menus, to order, ask for rice 2x because it was forgotten about. I see why this place was voted best TAKE OUT because the service does not match up to the food. Def get take out if you consider going. read more

Very well done Hong Kong style Chinese cuisine, although it can be hard to convey the message that you are not here for beef and broccoli or General Tso's chicken. I'm not a total expert on this sort of fare but, I can tell you it's on of the best places east of Flushing,Queens. The service is very efficient, but as I do hate at times too efficient and they tend to rush you along too much this knocks off a star for me. I don't like to feel like I'm eating at a factory. Also this is epidemic in a fair number of Chinese restaurants, LOWER the lights, I also don't like to feel like I'm on display and getting a suntan off the neon glow of the lighting. (see my photo's for the lighting situation) Overall putting poor lighting and rushed service aside, this is a good spot for Flushing style Chinese food, and also they have Dim Sum on the daily menu. read more

Ordered with my children and was very displeased with the service. If yr not chinese the waiters ignores you. Very frustrating.

Always heard about this place. Finally started coming with the fam on a Friday night. Sooooo good! Filet in black pepper sauce... what!?!? Excellent general Tso's , lo Mein and egg rolls! Highly recommended. Only reason it's not a five is cuz they do not serve dessert. Get some green tea ice cream and a five will be earned !!!! read more

You couldn't pay me to write a bad review about this place the food is THAT GOOD! I was seriously contemplating writing this review because this had been my family's go to spot for Chinese food for years now. Everything like we go I notice it becomes slowly more and more popular. This is hands down the best Chinese food spot on Long Island. The food is appropriately priced and super tasty! I would describe the food as your classic Queens style Chinese food. Tea is always on tap and it's always super soothing. It's a great way to start and end your meal. Now onto the good stuff... the food! I always have to get their hot and sour soup. It's one of my favorite things and they make it perfectly. Just the right amount of sour but since I like things extra spicy I ask for some hot oil on the side to add to everything else I order. They also make incredible soup dumplings. These things are filled with tender pork and at least a Tablespoon and a half of soupy goodness. The dumpling wrapper is thin and delicate and just holds everything in place. After the first bite it transports your tastebuds to savory, porky, umami deliciousness! Another MUST item is the roast duck! This is seriously my favorite thing on the menu. The skin is crispy and the meat is juicy and soft. I have no clue what they season the duck with but it is jam packed with flavor and is probably the best thing on the menu. I also ordered the Bi Feng Tang or Typhoon Shelter style Lobster. This is a bit of an off menu item but if you ask they will make it and it will exceed any expectations you previously had if Chinese food. It's garlic fried lobster with crispy batter and fried garlic encasing a whole lobster! It's so good between the salty and garlicy outside combined with the sweet lobster meat on the inside you'll be licking all the crispy bits off the bottom of the plate. The inside is no frills and we have only had one time where they forgot one dish and it was quickly brought out 10 minutes later. This is and will continue to be my favorite Chinese food on Long Island. They also do dim sum every weekend and it's crazy good! They roll around different carts and it's seems like it will never end. The shrimp wrapped in wide rice noodles is really good. You also can't go wrong with any of the beef or pork buns too. The only downside is that they don't do delivery but I think it's cause if they did they would have to hire an army just to deliver the food from how many orders they'd receive. If your considering going to this place you should already be walking out the door! read more

Came here with some friends for a non Christmas dinner, hot and sour soup was very good, could have been spicier, the Boneless pork was superb, crispy and moist. The tangerine chicken, filet mignon in Brown sauce with string beans and onions were delicious and nice size proportions, the pork mei fun was scary huge and also great. read more

I love this place. It's like going to Queens without the hassle. It's authentic Chinese food . Highly recommend. Must try the dim sum !!! read more

This has always been a go to fave for my family and I! The food here is not your average Chinese spot while it offers more authentic options. Our favorites include the pork soup dumplings, the crispy salt and pepper shrimp, the walnut mayo shrimp, bean curd seafood soup, and the steamed Chilean sea bass fish. Never a let down!!! So yummy. Also be sure to ask for their Indian-Chinese SPICY RED SAUCE which is a mix of garlic, ginger, red and green chilies, and soy sauce. We even order this to go because we love this sauce SOOO MUCH it really brings out the flavor in all the dishes and adds the perfect kick to the food. Staff is okay but what I do like is that they really work with your likes and dislikes to make sure you order something to your liking. Also the place closes pretty early (9pm I think) so come earlier rather than later. read more

3 stars. We ordered clams in black bean sauce, the house special chow fun and BBQ spare ribs. The clams were excellent. For entrees, I ordered the Filet Mignon with asparagus & lotus root and my fiancé wanted to try the chicken and broccoli. They were pretty good. I initially wanted to try the Cantonese lobster but our server didn't seem to understand my order. This is a twice a year place. Service was somewhat apathetic. I'm not opposed to returning. read more

My kids and I are regulars, Saturday 11:30am for dimsum after soccer games. If we didn't go, would have a riot on my hands. Dim sum is good, fresh and of high quality; siumai, harkau, shrimp wrapped in chow fun noodle, sparerib in blackbean sauce, chicken feet, tripe, stuffed eggplant, chives dumpling pan fried. Their special dimsum dishes are great as well; have tried clam with black bean sauce, fried squid etc. Congee, noodles (panfried noodles with seafood, the best) and rice dishes are as good as any of the Flushing dim sum places (lived there for years, I know). Reasonable prices across the board, given the lack of comparable places near by....Fortune wheel is ok, but we choose to go to Orient. Contrary to other posters, I think their redesign was tasteful, simple, clean and up to date. Been to too many dim sum places where its too dingy or too fancy/ornate (usually pay for the privilege of eating there). Not that we'd order it, but they also serve the Americanized "Chinese" food for those that want it. Given the location and the customer base, they need to cater to many tastes. Usually busy, it signals that the food inventory is turned over frequently and relatively fresh. Lastly, brought some friends over recently who are recently from mainland China living in Queens. Were quite surprise at the quality of offering, reasonable prices, and clean look about the place. Simon, our usual waiter, lived 3 hours away from my friend's home in China. read more

We always order take out. The food is SOOOOO GOOD!! They are always busy but food is on point.

any shrimp dumpling is amazing. everything is really good. i even go there for take out and i'm over ten miles away

This used to be my go to Chinese food spot, the food was always amazing the service was always great and even their take out portions were huge. I don't know what happened to this place, it's like they took a turn for the worse over night. We got some take out the food was horrible, flat out horrible. We're known on a first name basis here and when I called and asked them they said that's impossible and maybe I should try and eat it again, we're not apologetic did not seem to care and they were just flat out extremely rude. I tried coming here again and had the same issue, the food just wasn't the same as it once was and an establishment that always provided great service no longer provided us with the service we had come to expect here. There are many other Chinese food spots all around but this is not one I'll be returning to unfortunately. read more

I came here for dim sim on a Saturday it was pretty busy . The food was good but a bit overpriced.

Great find in Long Island if you are craving dimsum! Pricier than Flushing of course but convenient. Been back three times the past year!

One of the best. Great food and service. Be warned it's always packed for pick up. Family loves the food read more

Staff is incredibly rude and demeaning. The are not honest and are deceitful about their prices (e.g., $23 for a lunch plate listed as $12 online). When asked about the bill, I was ridiculed, yelled at, and several staff members actually pointed their fingers in my face. I was told "You don't eat enough Chinese food" and "everyone knows the online menu is wrong." Tommy, the owner of the restaurant, was one of the staff members who was yelling abusively. I am so disgusted, insulted, and appalled. read more

The Orient Restaurant - Worst customer service I've ever experienced in my life. Staff is rude and demeaning. Appalling! - Dim Sum Near Me - Bethpage, New York

Great place for dim sum. Place is not that large, so carts come around quickly. Everything was hot, fresh, and good. The seafood pan fried noodle dish was very good, albeit a bit on the medium size compared to other places. The boss was freaking out over the possibility that the glass partition would be broken. I guess he's still getting adjusted to the renovation. The front area is a bit strange because the wood paneling and glass shelves look like it could be a bar, especially with the TV. Unfortunately, it blends with the entrance area, so it's not really a chill place. A great, and possibly better, alternative to Fortune Wheel. read more

Came here for dimsum brunch with friends. The carts could rotate around the restaurant more frequently, but overall I feel like we consistently had more than enough to eat. If you see egg tarts, snatch them up while you can! We only saw them once throughout the entire time we were there. The quality of the food was more than satisfying, and at the price (we went easy, so ~$15 with tip per person) it was a steal. Would recommend! read more
