One other restaurant that still prepares Cantonese as well as traditional Chinese food. Hy Ting located on Main Street in Riverhead. It’s worth the trip.

New Ruan in Bensonhurst is left out ! Their sweet and sour shrimp is the best since Wo Hop !
Hoi Ming west sayville!!!

Hing Hing on Sunrise Hwy in Lindenhurst. Delicious overstuffed portions. 631-888-1777.
Take-out only, or a sit down Chinese restaurant too?
There is a big gap in my area! Where are the good places in South Nassau?
Can you recommend any? Palace of Wong in RVC closed 🙁 So Far So Good in Lynbrook is good, but it has Japanese on the menu which ruled it out as far as https://www.thechinesequest.com goes. Cho-Sen Island is ok. It’s Kosher, just so you know, so there’s no pork on the menu.
Panda Garden the best
Where is Panda Garden?
Oriental Kitchen, 451 Glen Drive, Shirley NY (in the Royal Tower Plaza, off Wm. Floyd Pkwy) is the best Chinese food I have ever eaten – and believe me, I know good Chinese food!
went to Moon Stone a couple of weeks ago…amazing
What did you order? It is a very fancy schmancy restaurant. Have you checked out their Happy Hour? Was there a few nights ago. I should say their Happy DAY!
it was pricey but really tasty and the staff was terrific…we had rock shrimp appetizer, then vegetable pad thai and a scale fish dish, don’t remember the name…have not been to their happy hour…did not know…but had a leechi martini that was yummy and friend had the cucumber martini, also yummy.

Dee, we need you to check out some of the other Chinese restaurants in your area. There are better!
Would love to, recommend two and I will give you my reviews 🙂
If you go to Stony Brook, try Red Tiger Dumpling House and LOL Kitchen & Grill. If you like your Chinese very spicy, in Centereach, go to Yao’s Diner. You’ll find reviews of all three on https://www.thechinesequest.com
Thank you! Will try to make my way to each of these!
Please let us know what you think of each! And any others that we haven’t reviewed yet!
Will do! Hope you pick up the book and pass the word around about the contest as well 🙂

Orchid
When was the last time you ate at Orchid in Garden City?
couple of weeks ago , go there all the time
Has it improved in the last three years or so since we reviewed it?

i think best chinese place on the island , the food is so fresh
No restaurants in chinatown manhattan ??????
https://www.thechinesequest.com Is making our way East. Originally we just sought the best Chinese restaurant on Long Island. Then we realized the demand was that great that we started migrating West.
Of course I meant to say working our way West*.
Woo hop. The best
Wo Hop is definitely on our radar!
Not in China Town but Peking Duck House in midtown is pretty amazing. Being people- they only serve their Peking Duck whole.
The Chinese Quest if you’re going to Wo Hop you need to go there at 3 am. I know it sounds crazy but it’s when it’s the best
Kathryn, I don’t know if I can convince ALL the Mee’s to go at 3am. Why is it better at 3am than at 7:00pm?
Kathryn Daum Want to join us at Peking Duck House in Midtown?
The people – the service- the food. Everything seems a little more intense. Guess it’s a NYC thing? Just to be able to get that quality Chinese food at 3 am makes me happy. Hope that makes sense?
Perfect sense. I grew up in Manhattan. I get it!
The Chinese Quest now that’s an awesome invite. Have any dates in mind? Weekends are always good but need to check the hubs schedule. He’s a huge fan of Peking Duck House!
Kisoro in Carle Place…..so good
Doreen,
Is Kisoro 100% Chinese?
-Mee
Is it 100% Chinese? i.e. not Fusion or Japanese or Thai, for examples, on the menu.
Just come to Flushing.
Agreed! https://www.thechinesequest.com/?s=flushing+review
The Orient in Bethpage!!
https://www.thechinesequest.com/2013/02/review-the-orient-623-hicksville-rd-bethpage-ny/
Which Chinese restaurant should https://www.thechinesequest.com go to next?
Mikado Sushi & Hibachi 510 Main Street, Center Moriches 631.874.8888
Charlotte, do they serve Japanese and Chinese food?
The Chinese Quest Note the vast desert with Bay Shore at its epicenter.
Joseph, can you recommend any Chinese restaurants in that area? It’s always good to find an Oasis that’s not a mirage.
Joseph, are you aware of an Oasis (Chinese restaurant) in that desert?
Yes. Have been there but not recently. Probably the best option but I work 5 min from Chef Wang so I am spoiled. Mango Tango just opened in downtown Islip. Food ok but not for purists (fusion/sushi).
And thanks for the suggestion!
Chef Wang, in New Hyde Park is very good!
