    The white window shades made it look like they're closed but they are indeed OPEN!

    I had high hopes for White Bear in Great Neck! Nice to not have to schlep all the way into downtown Flushing! But sadly, my expectations weren't met. I'll chalk it up to growing pains since they just opened 2 weeks ago! I truly hope they improve. On this visit, on a Friday at Noon, half of their already limited menu, wasn't available. Not sure what the problem was but their basic pan fried dumplings weren't even available! This is what I ordered: -- Wontons in Hot Oil ($18/20pcs): these were ok; considering that they were swimming in the hot oil, the hot oil didn't really seem to be spicy at all. Go figure! Definitely add some Sriracha if you want spicy! -- Dan Dan Noodles ($10): these were also just ok; again, not spicy and just lacking in flavor. No restrooms and limited stool seating; they can only seat 8 people at wall-facing counter seating. This is definitely a quick-bite or takeout place. But still, much nicer than their Flushing store, which is strictly takeout with no seating at all. So this is an improvement! lol Customer service was friendly and efficient. Dining area was clean. I'll give them some grace since they just opened. I plan to give them some time before a return visit, and hope that they improve. Looking forward to a full menu and bolder flavors! Welcome to the neighborhood and good luck!

    This new location for White Bear is minimumlistic! BEAR bone place on the outside and the inside. Yes, they are open for business! There is only four stooges on the left and four on the right. Not comfortable; just eat and go; or just go and eat somewhere else. We decided to go eat at Firefighters Park since it was a nice day. Today half the menu wasn't available; something was not working right in the kitchen. I tried the bowl of Peking style noodles and some dumplings. Dumplings are marginally better. I would rate the bowl of noodles average. Weak in flavor.

    Ordered takeout (just a few stools inside to sit). This is a no frills place that focuses on a few dishes, but they are very good! The leek and pork dumpling was excellent, juicy and a lot of flavor. The braised port with noodles was excellent, I could have eaten two of them. The braised pork tasted so good and the noodles were great. The wonton soup was great, best around in my opinion. Some items were not available, which is tough when the menu is small. Assume they will work out the kinks though. Great option for takeout, I believe this is an extension of a long running place in Flushing, so not surprised it's good. Give them a try!

    Week 2 of White Bear being open in great neck Disappointing to see that more than half the menu is always unavailable. They should've just announced their debut as a soft opening. The first time I came was at 5pm and I saw a sign saying they closed because they sold out. The second time I came an hour after opening and only 4 of the 10+ products on the menu were available. Today, I came again at 6pm and only two products were available.. The food tastes great don't get me wrong, but very disappointing that they just are missing more than half their menu. They don't even make it obvious what's available. I overheard the cashier tell another customer "sold out" for four different items before the customer bursted "so what DO you have" In terms of waiting.. they're a lot slower than the flushing location. Expect to wait 20mins for your order if the store looks like my photos. Also the environment just feels kind of tense. It's dead silent and feels like everyone is a little miserable waiting. I think they should play some chill music inside I hope to update this to five stars when they eventually buy ingredients for the rest of their menu

    I've had the wontons many times from their Flushing location- so glad they finally opened a White Bear on Long Island. I got 2 orders of the 20 piece wontons with chili oil, cabbage with pork pan fried dumplings, Taiwanese braised pork- 1 over noodle & 1 over rice. Everything was ready in 10 minutes. The guy who took my order was very friendly and helpful. Pretty pricey & portions were rather small but all the food was good. The wontons were flavorful and perfectly balanced with non-spicy chili oil, green onions & pickled mustard greens. Dumplings were crispy, juicy & greasy, braised pork was tender but oily & could use a little more seasoning- it was kind of bland, egg didn't have any soy sauce flavor and the noodle supposed to come with bok choy as pictured- came with pickled radish instead. I would definitely come back again for the dumplings & wontons :)

    This is not a sit down place. Food is average. Convenient to order wontons and noodles on the go. Service is friendly. Dan Dan noodles should be more Al dente and less salty.

    We ate in this time to try out the pan fried dumplings and they were done perfectly! Crispy outside and juicy inside! Taiwanese braised pork was very authentic and delicious. Of course I had to order my favorite wontons with spicy sauce. The service was prompt and friendly. At 7pm on a Monday night, there were plenty of seats. This is going to be a regular place for us for sure

    Great wonton, bought the frozen for $25 and cooked at home. Not crowded at all. Street parking in front, easy to pick up

    Welcome to great neck by way of flushing we welcome White Bear and their famous wontons. Just wait 10 min and it's like magic. The soup is killer too with the hot oil

    Chili wontons, not spicy at all, but they have sriracha on standby.

    Nice addition to Great Neck. Everyone raves about the Number 6. And for good reason. Try it, you'll love it.

    Just like the one in flushing but much closer now. Cannot go wrong with the wontons. Just wished it was a little spicier!

    As always, this is a fantastic place to grab breakfast or lunch with friends and family. All the…read morestaff are wonderful and friendly. They are attentive and courteous, even when they are super busy. They expanded their menu since they renovated the interior. I still stick for the classic Greek fare like chicken souvlaki and gyros. Their French fries are soo good! Their breakfast omelet with home fries are also so good. My friend said Louie's eggs Benedict is the best and therefore she never orders it anywhere else. Highly highly recommend! Owned by a lovely family!

    Food: Decent and fresh but underseasoned. Understandable for the community they serve (although…read moreyouthful customers abound, a more retired community did much more.) Omelet & Home Fries desperately needed seasoning on all levels. Chicken and Lemon Rice Soup was adequately flavored with a nice pucker but the Olive Oil used was flowery and overpowered the delicacy of this soup. The Grilled Chicken Salad (lettuce, cucumbers and tomatoes) on it's own was DELISH. The Caesar dressing that was different but edible, a little on the sweet and thin side. Thankfully, had some Homemade Caesar at home to compensate. Also, had a TEC (Turkey, freshly sliced off the bone, Egg (scrambled), and Cheese (Cheddar) on a large, pillowy roll. Enjoyable. Service...1 person put a SOUR taste in our mouths. Was immediately greeted by everyone, except the older lady who was supposed to take our order. We LITERALLY stood in front of the register for almost 10 minutes, while she greeted and helped EVERYONE around, on the side & behind us. An older jovial man finally greeted us and was apologetic and swift. If it wasn't for the long morning and afternoon we had, we would've taken our money elsewhere! It stayed busy and packed so get there early. They do try to be efficient when seating. Overall, we could give them another opportunity to see if the "selective service" by that 1 team member was a one-off! Street parking.
