[PREVIEW] Golden Dynasty, St. James

Golden-Dynasty-St-James-Exterior

On the hallowed grounds of the former Lotus East in St. James, NY, rose a golden palace.  Worthy of a Chinese restaurant re-born now as Golden Dynasty.  Same owners.  Same location.  Completely renovated.  Over a year into the process and months and months of delays due to the Town of Smithtown ordinances, etc., the Golden Palace finally opened their gates ...

[REVIEW] Dynasty of Port Washington

Dynasty-Port-Washington

Inspiration ended at the street sign for Inspiration Wharf.  It pointed in the right direction; it just ended outside the door.  There was little inspiration in the dishes we were served, symbolic of a fallen dynasty.  The facade of a great dynasty was present as the interior was quite spectacular.  A soaring ceiling raised our expectations.  But, alas all those ...

Foo Luck Chinese Restaurant, Commack NY

Last night I had the strangest dream.  I dreamed of the most delicious and authentic Chinese meal.  Some of my closest friends in the world were there.  A world-renowned food reporter was there too.  Jennifer Lopez provided the entertainment.  And even someone I hadn’t seen in over 40 years from my days at Camp Boiberik was there too.  What a ...

[REVIEW] PINE COURT CHINESE BISTRO, LITTLE NECK

Pan Fried Lamb Rack Honey Pepper Sauce

On December 23rd, the Quest ended up at Pine Court Chinese Bistro located at 249-32 Horace Harding Expressway, in Little Neck for our 26th restaurant review. I have to say this was our most convenient dinner with our “Happy Hour” meeting place, liquor store (BYOB), Pine Court, and Carvel all within one half block. Although the place looked like it ...

Pine Court Chinese Bistro Restaurant LIttle Neck

Hitting the Superfecta in Little Neck It takes four things to perfectly align to hit a Superfecta.  And on this Erev Christmas Eve we hit all four ALL on one block in Little Neck!  Our Quest this evening took us to Pine Court Chinese Bistro, which by the name doesn’t at all appear to be an authentic Chinese restaurant.  Such an ...
