A year later and still one of my favorite restaurants in the area!! Absolutely delicious food, great service, cool decor, clean and consistent. I recently had the Peking duck... it was perfectly cooked and plentiful. They use the bone to make soup, which was superb. Definitely check it out! read more

Nice authentic northern Chinese cuisine in the north shore. My favorite dish was di San xian. The Yu Xiang pork was good too. Ironically dumplings are not my favorite because my mom makes them better at home lol. Will come back to try some other dishes. We got a free dessert of pudding and chocolate ice cream, which was really good and looked so cute! read more

Wow this restaurant was awesome! The service was excellent, very friendly, seated right away and food came out quickly. Some of my favorite items were the Peking duck, sesame chicken, and pot stickers. The fried rice was also really good, the scallion pancakes were delicious and crispy and the sautéed vegetables (especially the eggplant and string beans) were delicious too. I was too full to try the soup dumplings but look forward to that next time! read more

Love this place I live near here all my life and I've seen this place when it was sushi time and then the duck house. I think the dumpling house is the best version! read more

Good food. Nice and friendly server. Love the choices on the menu and nice pictures. This place has been around for a while. Help they stay

I passed by this restaurant many times and saw that they have Peking Duck here, so I finally decided to give it a try. Called in at 11 am to place my order and was quoted 40 minutes for pickup. I got the whole Peking Duck and Braised Meatballs. When I arrived, I waited another 15 min. They were quite busy due to a school/ lunch field trip with about 20 kids & 2 adults. There were only 1 server and 1 cook at the time. The server was very polite & friendly despite how busy he was juggling with everyone's orders all by himself. You can check-in on Yelp or pay cash to get 10% off. As for the food, the Peking Duck is definitely not worth $80 imo. There were 12 small pancakes, 2 containers of carved duck, scallion & cucumber/ hoisin sauce, as well as 2 quarts of soup that were made with the duck bones + cabbage. The skin wasn't crispy, had lots of excess fat, the duck itself was bland & greasy, and soup was extremely oily. The meatballs were dry and tough, they were not good. It was a disappointing experience, and not to mention, the food gave me stomach problems afterward. Maybe their dumplings are good, but I won't be trying them... read more

A good friend I trust told me that the best Peking duck on Long Island was in Glen cove. I was very skeptical. Maybe the best pizza or Italian food, but Peking duck?? As it turns out, it was very good. I think it also helps that the guy that carves up the duck is AMAZING! He so much meat off the duck. And then top it all off, they took the carcass and made a soup out of it for no extra charge. The really traditional duck houses in the city used to do that but you don't see it any more. The one change I would suggest is to put all the skins on top of the meat rather than just stacking them haphazardly because the skin pieces that are not on top get a little soggy. But I can forgive that because there was so much meat! As for the rest of the food, they were good but not at the same level except maybe the soup. My daughter had the hot and sour soup that she said was good and it came in this really cool bowl with a Buddha lid. I of course had to rub the belly although after all the duck meat, I could have just rubbed my own belly. The pan fried dumplings were ok and although the soup dumplings were tasty, the sauce was odd. Maybe not enough black vinegar. The sautéed pea shoots were ok. We also got talked into ordering the clams because the waiter suggested we have them, but they were a little spicy and needed rice as a side, which they did not provide. And we knew we had ordered a lot of food and did not want to waste the calories on rice. So we suffered through it. They really do a nice job with presentation starting with the napkins folded up like a rose, and all the nice bowls and pots. We will definitely be back for the duck!! read more

Wonderfully nice people! The menu is filled with unusual selections served in family style. We all loved our choices.

This Chinese restaurant is quite good, and very different from most other Chinese restaurants around . Though I have never been to China, I think their food is probably more authentic than most others . All the dumpling dishes are excellent. I always order takeout here, but the interior isn't bad. Nice family owned restaurant I recommend read more

I have driven past this restaurant for awhile but was always too busy to stop in. Very lovely ambiance...calming and pleasant. Excellent caring service from Lau, with good suggestions for the fresh steamed pork dumplings and the fried veggie and shrimp dumplings. I had ordered the cold noodles with black mushrooms, cucumbers, carrots, other veggies (with the fun name of: "Five Colors Green Sheet Jelly") and perfect match of sesame paste dressing and took a few yummy bites, but had to pack that up for home because I over-ordered as usual! Everything is so fresh and delicious here. I live in Flushing so I have access to many good restaurants, but Zouji Dumpling House is right up there with the best. Definitely coming back next time with friends when I'm in Seacliff/Glen Head! Thank you, Lau and your wonderful chefs! read more

Place is cute with charming booths. The egg drop soup was good, hot tea was very good. The vegetable and pork dumplings were disappointing. The dough was very thick. Service was ok. The rice was good. I do recommend you give it a try read more

What a great find! I have passed this restaurant numerous times, and finally ate there due to a friend's recommendation. The place is bigger than it looks and has a wonderful warm feeling. The service was superb and the food was excellent. We had beef with scallions, the beef hot pot and a great cold tofu dish( can't remember the name, but the tofu was in ribbon like pieces). we will definitely return!!! The menu offers many options... and they all look delicious. read more

The crabmeat soup dumplings!!! The place feels very genuine and authentic. Very fair prices and every dish brings full savors... noodles, veggies, duck, fish or tofu, never disappointed ! read more

Great authentic food!! Love their dumplings the best!! Delicious!! Highly recommend!!

Came here for dinner Pros: - The Peking Duck was delicious! Crispy and tender. Wasn't a big fan of the soup that was made with the leftover duck. I think radishes would've added more flavor to the soup. - Scallion pancake was flaky and flavorful - Pork and shrimp with chives dumpling was pretty good but the skin was a bit too thick - Parking in the back Cons: - Waited close to an hour for the Squirrel Fish and it was so disappointing. We followed up on this dish so many times and they kept saying it was coming. When it came, it was extremely fried and lacked flavor. - General Tso Chicken had too much breading and lacked flavor. read more

Zouji Dumpling House - 38. Squirrel Fish - Dim Sum Near Me - Glen Cove, New York

Our first time here, LOVED it. There was a great elaborate peking duck ($78.88) slicing presentation of the chef. The second time we came here, the host slash server brought the duck SLICED. Zero presentation. Also, know that even if you reserve the peking duck in advance, there is still a wait for it to arrive. Meanwhile, the host/server brings over the scallions and cucumber the minute you sit down. Obviously, the scallions and cucumber weee finished before the peking duck even arrives. Zouji charges $2 per extra plate of scallions. Soup dumpling is great. Pricey for $11.50 for six pieces. White rice is $2 per cup. Skip the stir fried noodle - barely any shrimp ($12.25) Crispy pork is $18.95, also very small serving read more

Delicious food and great service from this family style traditional Chinese restaurant. I had the dry sautéed string beans with white rice and scallion pancakes. Both of these dishes brought back childhood memories of how Chinese food used to taste. read more

Cute place we thought was gonna be a mostly takeout place but they had a cute couple of booths to sit in. Went later in the day for an early dinner. Had the pork soup buns (eat these when you first get them as they start to stick to the bottom of the streamer and a few tore and we lost the soup. Also had the lamb dumplings and the baked beef patties. Food was yummy but service was a little slow. read more

So good always. We love this place. Today had mapo tofu, shrimp with walnuts and soup dumplings. The sauce bar for dining in is key. Service is always good and we love the ambience. They also now have fresh mochi!! read more

I'm not big on leaving restaurants low ratings, especially not during this pandemic when places are suffering but I couldn't in good faith let other patrons get ripped off. Because I'm a Yelper, I noticed that there weren't many pictures of the menu so I decided to take pictures so people could see them. Thank goodness I did, because when we got the bill ... all the prices were wrong!! I get that prices have changed but every place that I've gone, it's stated somewhere in the restaurant that there has been a price increase. When I asked the waiter there, he told me that he was from the Syosset location and didn't realize but would change the prices to match the menu. This whole night started when my husband wanted to try a new place for Chinese food so we decided to come here for dinner. The service was very slow. I don't know if it was because there was only one main waiter or if it was because of the numerous takeout orders. Regardless, we ordered our food and weren't asked if we wanted anything to drink. We ended asking for water after our first dish was almost finished. When I asked for a refill later on, he only took two of the three cups to refill and didn't refill the third, which was obviously empty. We ordered scallion pancakes, fried pork, shrimp and chives dumplings, steamed crab meat pork soup dumplings, mapo tofu, hot and sour soup and dried stir fry cauliflower. I have to admit, the stir fry cauliflower was my favorite. I wish it was a bigger portion but nonetheless, very tasty. The scallion pancakes .. yum. The pieces were a great size and very crunchy. The fried dumplings was the last to come out ... like 25-30 mins after we originally placed our order. It was mostly chives but still good. I wish I could say that for everything else we ordered. The only thing crab in the crab and pork soup dumpling was the dried little orange speck on the top of the soup dumpling. The hot and soup wasn't hot (temperature nor spice level) or sour. The soup was pretty bland. Lastly, we had ordered the mapo tofu. There was barely any sauce but TONS of oil, which isn't what we wanted. So ... would I go back? Doubt it. Maybe I'll chalk this dinner experience to just a bad night to go out to dinner. read more

The BEST Chinese food in Glen Cove! You have to try their homemade dumplings and their duck. Everything is so delicious! Go check it out if you haven't already. The mushrooms are so simple but full of flavor, the homemade dumplings have the perfect skin, the noodles are thick and addicting, and the duck with the pancakes, cucumber, and scallion is the perfect combination. The duck skin is so crispy and adds so much to the pancakes! Give it a try! - Shiitake Mushroom with Baby Bok Choy - Pork Dumplings - Zouji Stir Fried Noodles - Peking Duck read more

We recently discovered this place and are soooo glad! Mom and pop vibes galore, hot tea when you sit down, and many fairly priced delicious entree options. The star of the show is the DUCK. We started with buns, dumplings and wonton soup. We then had the Peking duck and veggie entree. The chef (?) came out to check on us mid duck feast and offered a delicious duck broth soup made with the bones- sooo good. Great option for Chinese especially if you are craving delicious duck. We will be back!! read more

Walked in on a cold day while my car was in the shop nearby. I was craving a hot soup and ordered a small hot and sour soup. Delicious! Succulent bits of tofu and crunchy black fungus in a piquant silky broth served in a decorative little bowl with a lid. For mains we ordered the steamed pork soup dumplings and the shredded pork in garlic sauce. The pork dish is now in my top five best Chinese dishes I've ever had! It was sweet, sour, and spicy - the vegetables were fresh and crispy - carrots and snowpeas - the pork was succulent and lightly breaded. Definitely a memorably flavorful dish. Would love to return and try more dishes! Authentic high-quality Chinese cuisine would definitely recommend. read more

First time at this location. We loved the Syosset location. The dumplings are still our favorite. The dumplings were meaty, not salty and not fatty. The dumpling wrap is just thick enough to hold the filling and give it texture. The pork, shrimp and chive ones are the best. The twice cooked pork is authentic with pork belly. The decor is nicer than the old location. Only wish it wasn't so far! read more

This is the best go to spot for all sorts of delicious dumplings. Regular ,pan fried, and soup dunplings . The hot and sour soup is excellent and wonton soup. Also, the wontons melted in your mouth. I highly recommend getting green beans. Pan fried wonton are amazing. Table across from me got the duck. I can't wait to try that next time. The ambience has a classic old-school look. The service was pretty good because it wasn't as busy ttime I went. read more

I can't believe it took me so long to find a legit Chinese restaurant on Long Island! (There are a couple of others) 1. This is NOT an American Chinese restaurant. Ie. there's no such thing as lo mein, beef and broccoli, kung pao chicken, or whatever is served at takeout Chinese places. 2. A reservation is recommended. While crowdedness is inconsistent you don't want to arrive and have to wait 30 min - it happens! 3. Parking lot is narrow and basically one lane, exiting and entering from a busy street. Both times we went and we were lucky to score the last spot. 4. Cash discount ;) prices are great, but portions are a tad on the smaller side. Or maybe food is always so good we eat so much :p 5. Food was deliciously authentic and when stuck on LI and unwilling to drive into Queens, this is an excellent alternative. Oddly, it's called a dumpling house, but I wasn't as impressed with their dumplings as I was with their entrees. Still gotta go back and try their well-reviewed Peking duck... Disclaimer: I am not saying this beats the legit Chinese restaurants in flushing by any means, just that for LI, this is as authentic as it gets. And despite the small lot, at least there IS parking. My star ratings legend: 5: A+ Worth a special journey (ie. I would go out of my way, maybe even take a flight somewhere just for this; exceptionally amazing) 4: A excellent, a must try, solid place 3: B good; nothing extraordinary, but would definitely go again 2: C personally would never go again (unless invited by someone and I didn't get to pick the place), but I can see how others might find something appealing 1: Fail. I would never return and recommend no on else goes either. read more

A surprise hit. On Long Island Chinese food can seem unauthentic. Zouji is authentic. It's meant to eat there. You can do take out but go in. Eat there. Watch the dumplings being made. Loved the pork cabbage dumplings vegetable dumplings and soup dumplings are a must. I'm told the Peking duck is a must. Next time. The decor is enjoyable and, again, authentic. The parking is tricky. You may have to park down the block and walk. read more

Really good northern Chinese food, esp. dumplings. Be prepared to get items "out of order." May mean your main comes first, then your dumplings or soup. Nothing wrong with that. Just cooking to order, read more

The best traditional chinese food in town. Both the food and service is top tier. Im from out of state and have been craving this place since the last time i came which was last year. The food quality and taste is still the best! Everything is fresh and at a proper price.

Staff is friendly and fast. read more

Came here on a whim with my 2 cousins since we were in the area. Place is super cute and seems very authentic. We got a bunch of stuff to split and we loved everything we tried. We got pork soup dumplings, beef pan fried dumplings (had that delicious crunchy fried layer! ), crystal shrimp dumplings, beef with scallions and fried rice. All of the food was delicious and came out pretty quickly. Before we left we ordered some Taro bubble teas to go and the flavor was delicious but my only complaint was that the boba was not the usually chewy pleasant consistency but more firm, kind of when they aren't cooked long enough. All in all I would definitely come back! read more

ZouJi is fantastic, locals in Glen Cove and the Sea Cliff really need to check this place out. Authentic Chinese and dumplings are hard to find and what they offer is fresh higher quality ingredients and the food is consistently great. Best way to start is stop by during lunch since their lunch specials are off the hook. Large variety of homemade dumplings, not wild about them but they are very good, yet their lunch specials specifically are excellent. Favorites are the beef or shrimp and broccoli, kung pao chicken, chicken & chili Peppers and fish. All soup is fantastic, restaurant is small but immaculate and service is great. A very welcome addition to Glen Cove. read more
