Last week, a new Chinese restaurant, Lucky Dumplings, opened in Great Neck, NY.  They are located at 19 Northern Blvd, Great Neck, NY 11021, in the former location of Coco's Palace.  The restaurant is directly across Northern Blvd. from Moonstone Modern Asian Cuisine & Bar.  Between the grand opening of Lucky Dumplings and the closing of Coco's Palace, Mochinut Donut occupied the space.  But they didn't last long, and the spot remained vacant for a few years.  I was happy to see it reopen as a Chinese restaurant again.  I couldn't wait to check it out. So, I did!

It's my new favorite dish! Pan Fried Pork and Vegetable Wontons from Shanghai You Garden in downtown Flushing, NY. Just thinking about that dish now, I'm salivating. Try them. Now! Call ahead though. Parking is a pain, and it takes 15 minutes to prepare the dish. It's time well spent!

Royal Dim Sum, an authentic Cantonese Chinese restaurant, recently opened at the Samanea New York Mall (formerly known as the Source Mall, or more informally as the Fortunoff Mall) in Westbury, NY. Though not a formal review by The Chinese Quest, The Dumpling King, his girlfriend, and I dined there and were motivated enough to post this review.

Orient Garden, the sister restaurant of The Orient in Bethpage, and Orient Odyssey in Syosset recently opened on the site of the Park City Diner. It was kind of empty the night we ate there.

Click to dine along with us. Virtually of course!

We went Back to the Future, when we recently dined at Brooklyn Dumpling Shop in Garden City, NY. Combing the Automat charm of Yesteryear, with the on point Contactless delivery in these COVID-19 years, the combination was poignant. But, what is successful?
