50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Islip Terrace

“When someone in my house is sick, we can depend on Happy Dragon chicken broth for nourishment. Their broth is well made; flavorful, and not greasy. We also love their other dishes! Best moo goo gai pan around, best general tso's, crab Rangoon... it's all good, well prepared. We have been patrons for over 20 years! Thank you Jeff and Ling!“

“Sui's is a solid choice for standard chinese- american food. As a spare ribs, broccoli and fried rice guy, I can say that Sui's does the 'regular' dishes aa well as pretty much anyone else - glad that they are my neighborhood chinese place.“

“There were two cute pillows thoughtfully placed on the chair, and the restaurant was very clean. It is highly recommended for those who like sweet food to try the tomato fat beef scrambled eggs! ! ! Highly recommended by this Shanghainese! ! ! Fellow Northeasterners said that the pickled cabbage and white meat are particularly authentic. The warm service from the landlady really makes me feel like I have returned to China... I really love Jude Building???“

“I have been going to the Bay Shore, NY location for at least 6 months now and can't recommend it enough. I went with several of my co workers a few nights ago and DEO was awesome to have as a waiter. He was funny and super helpful.“

“Good Chinese food is really really hard to find. Picked this place on a whim based on reviews. Ordered shrimp with lobster sauce, shrimps were cleaned and cooked perfectly. Veggie lomein, steamed veggie dumplings, fried baby shrimp, roast pork chow mei fun, wonton soup, and a free pt of pork fried rice (that I didn't even have to ask for). Everything was cooked well and tasted great. Will be back.“

“This is hands down the best soup dumpling place I’ve ever been to. I lived in Manhattan for 20 years and never experienced such authenticity as Red Tiger Their crabmeat and pork soup dumplings are the best thing on the menu. However, they have so many different ones to try. Everytime we come here we always try a new one.
Red tiger FTW!!!“

“Absolutely delicious fresh cooked food. They are very welcoming when you go there. I recommend the chicken lo mein, dumplings, etc. Honestly the food is delicious 😋.“

“That food is delicious inexpensive and filling… staff is amazing and place is clean“

“A Truly Thoughtful and Delicious Experience!
We had an absolutely wonderful experience at Mógū Chinese Kitchen thanks to the incredible care and attention from Brian and Yesy. My son has a nut allergy, and trying new cuisines can be a little stressful—but Brian went above and beyond to make sure we felt safe and welcome.
From the moment we arrived, Brian was kind, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable. He took the time to explain the menu, helped us choose safe options, and even prepared my son’s meal separately to avoid any cross-contamination. He walked us through every step and was so diligent—it truly gave us peace of mind.
During the meal, Brian checked in on us to make sure everything was going well, and his kindness really made the whole experience special. It was my son’s very first time trying Chinese food, and thanks to Brian and Yesy, it was a fantastic one!
We will absolutely be back. If you have a child with food allergies, we highly recommend dining here. The food was delicious, and the care and service were unmatched.
Thank you again, Brian and Yesy! You’ve earned loyal customers.“

“Recently moved to this area and decided to try this restaurant, good decision! Delicious food,I had the pineapple fried rice with shrimp, amazing with lots of Large fresh Shrimp,the pork buns were so yummy and the Thai pineapple chicken tasted like something you would have in Hawaii!! Highly recommend you give Mr. Wang a try, you will thank me later…..“

“Easy 5 stars. I've been going here for years. Everything I get, I love. Especially the fried dumplings and sweet and sour chicken. Their delivery is fast and easy too.

Parking: There's always a lot of spaces and you can park away from other cars if you want to.“

“great food and Mai Tai 👌 😋“

“After a year at Suffolk county and many disappointing Chinese take outs, I have finally found my go to Chinese Restaurant. I also like spicy food in general and this one offers both flavors and spice. The host lady was nice, humble and attentive. The prices are more reflective of fine dining and portions do justice. They had bbq tables but we didn't try that both times. All in all the best Chinese restaurant in Suffolk county. Some of their dishes like veg lomein needs improvement.“

“I often order a steamed chicken n broccoli meal with (chicken) fried rice which comes with a pint of (chicken noodle or wonton) soup. They also grow their own string beans at home n offer them to change up my meal now n then. Nice folks.
I've been getting take out for about 5 years now; they'll ask if I want my usual when I call. 10 minutes later, I'll have a fresh hot meal with soup n fortune cookies for $12 again. Cash only.“

“Stark, though very clean. Always busy. Front counter staff is always friendly, and kitchen staff always appears busy while they are consistently producing some of the best Chinese food in the area.

Parking: Free parking for the strip mall in front of the door

Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible“

“I have been eating Chinese food my entire life, this is the best Chinese food I have ever had! I have brought many friends there and they feel the same as I do. Nick, who is always there and very nice and helpful and easy-going. It’s always a pleasure to see him behind the counter always in a great mood. I highly recommend this place above all others.

Vegetarian options: There are plenty of vegetarian options. They are all very delicious, the best I’ve ever had.

Parking: There is always plenty of parking on the side adjacent to Pulaski Road and Lark field Road.“

“The food is very delicious. The workers are very kind and friendly. This restaurant is primarily take out and is usually always very busy, however, if they say your order will be done in a set time they are usually true to their word. Highly recommend.“

“Classic, reminds me of my younger years on Long Island. Nicely tasty and straightforward. Very accommodative of special dietary needs - no soy sauce for me, no sesame oil for another in our party. I had the cabbage and pork soup - for two and ate it all with gusto! I also had Singapore noodles, which I like very much and here it was presented with good curry taste but not hot (which I enjoy but most others in my party do not). They use trolleys to serve and clear, so there is always a bustle and rumble which is distracting.“

“Everything we tried was delicious! The tangerine chicken was crispy and great. The soft fried wontons are my favorite and I have not been able to find them anywhere else for a long time. We’ve tried several of their dishes and I highly recommend them!“

“The food was soo good! The service was great, ambience was nice, and the food was just.. Chef's kiss! We had a lunch menu kung pao chicken (with hot and sour soup), and a (vegetarian) tofu dry pot. We were so happy and smiling coming out after eating.“

“Great place to enjoy peanuts and leave shells on the floor while you wait for a seat. You can even have them at your table. The warm bread with honey butter is the next event to fill your stomach before the actual meal starts. Chili is a great appetizer. I think most of the side dishes are fine. Steaks are good but whatever you do, stay away from any sirloin. Even prepared at medium, it tastes and chews like shoe leather and not the rich Corinthian leather kind. I've been there numerous times, but I guess the visits are spread out enough that I forget to avoid the sirloin. My default cheap nature guides me to sirloin and I regret it after the first bite. Ribeye, NY strip and anything else is fine. I'm not sure I know what their “road kill” cut is or how it tastes.“

“Top notch sushi, the best prices I have seen for the quality. I’ve been ordering from Kira Sushi since about 2021, their quality has been consistent and their menu prices haven’t raised drastically like everything else does.“

“This place is solid. The food is excellent all the time regardless of take-out, delivery, or dine in. Staff is professional and friendly and they always get the order exactly right. We've tried other places and they just don't compare!“

“I order crab rangoon, chicken dumplings and shrimp with black bean sauce. Everything is delicious!! Im allergic to pork. So I was so happy to see a chicken dumpling and it has great flavor. Crab rangoon taste homemade. The shrimp with black bean sauce came with nice size shrimp. Really glad to find this place!!“

“Best Chinese food ever. Love their Shrimp & Broccoli..Perfect! Sauce delicious. Great egg drop soup & Chicken Noodle soup..Steamed Chicken Dumplings are delish.!! Nice friendly people..Been going here for years..My favorite place ever...Anything you order is delicious...😋😋 Can call an order in..ENJOY!“

“The Food here is great! The egg rolls are perfect and not greasy. The Fried rice you can modify to eliminate things you don't want in it like corn & Peas, YAY! and this is the first restaurant where the wonton soup is not too salty, its great and you get a ton of wontons! Love tis Chinese Restaurant!“

“I LOVE their fried chicken wings and cheese wontons! Also tried their lo mein, shrimp with broccoli, food is fresh, tasted good and generous portion size. Delivery came fast and food was still hot when serving. Great food, great staff and great pricing, highly recommend Delicious Chinese Take Out!“

“One of the best Chinese food takeout spots around. Food is consistently good it has been owned by the same people for years. Prices have not gone up too much since before Covid and the quality has stayed the same.

They’re sesame chicken is great and chicken and broccoli is another favorite“

“It’s really hard to find a decent Chinese takeout. For some reason, take-out Chinese food is not as good as it was 20 years ago. I find a lot of Chinese food inedible.That said, Red Apple is a good find. I recently ordered the wonton soup, egg roll, shrimp roll. I also ordered the honey chicken with fried rice and vegetable Lo Mein. My husband & I really enjoyed the food. It was tasty & flavorful. So if you’re in the mood for good Chinese food, definitely give this place a try.“

“Absolutely amazing me and my wife pick up food here all the time they have great Chinese food always fresh and tasty and so close to the house the lady at the front I always ask her how her daughters are doing and how her day was. They are good people that work hard and the quality of the food shows it .“

“Been a customer since moved to Brentwood in the 80's the food and service has always been fantastic.

Vegetarian options: Vegetarian menu is definitely a go to

Dietary restrictions: Steamed anything is super fresh and delicious.“

“My favorite Chinese takeout place. Their servings are generous and everything tastes fresh. Meat is trimmed well so even the pork ribs have minimal fat. They also have online ordering so I don't have to talk to anyone on the phone and my boyfriend/family usually answers the door so I don't have to engage with any human being I don't know at any point!NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH PANDA EXPRESS. This place is much better in my opinion.“

“Cane here for the 1st time, and the food was great. A bunch of my co-workers placed an order, and I was sure that they would get something wrong, but everything was perfect. Great food and even the women behind the counter were great. She threw in some free wantons because we spent so much. I got the boneless pork and it is prepared differently than most places do. They use chunks of ribs rather than the thin stripes many other places do. Dumpling were great!...recommend 100%“

“The BEST dim sum on Long Island! Very accommodating when placing phone orders. Food is always fresh and hot and delicious.“

“Definitely 5 stars 👍👍👍👍👍👍“

“I tried many different Chinese take-out restaurants in the area when I moved here 2 years ago. I was really disappointed by the quality until I ordered from New Kings. I'm surprised they don't have a higher rating. The food is consistently good. I just wish they had a few more things on their menu like duck and wontons with shrimp.“

“Best Chinese restaurant around hands down! … It’s always super clean, soothing music playing, and the food is fantastic. Love their menu with all the sharp photos up top. They’re always super friendly too. You can tell that they genuinely care. They really put their heart into the food and it shows. Highly recommended.“

“I've been ordering fromFoo Luck for over 25 years. Never been disappointed. The food has a lot of taste, it's fresh, and not too salty since I'm worried about sodium. Family-owned and everybody is so nice. They've got a loyal customer in "this" family! ?“

“Good traditional breakfast items snd delicious entrees and dumplings. The flavors are authentic and the ingredients are high quality“

“I love their food..I used to go to the old owner's family there and actually ended up teaching the daughter piano! Now the new owner has kept the same high standards, and for me it's vegetarian and seafood friendly. No bad oils. The food tastes so wholesome and delicious. So glad I live nearby.“

“Gave it 5 stars cause this owner use to be in patchogue and it was best chinese food on Long Island but she left during COVID and now I heard she’s in centereach and I haven’t had good chinese food since she left but will be going there this week to centereach even though it’s 12 miles away because her food is what dreams are made of! 5 ⭐️s“

“It is a Chinese restaurant specializing in delivery and takeout. The prices are relatively cheap, the food tastes good and the portions are generous. Fried rice, General Tso chicken, and Lo Mein, fried noodles, are also delicious. Fried rice and noodles made in a wok have a more savory taste due to the added fire flavor.“

“This restaurant is excellent! The interior design is beautiful and the food is made quickly. I ordered egg drop soup and fried dumplings. The egg drop soup had perfect consistency. The staff is very friendly as well. I will definitely come back in the future.“

“We order from here all the time in our office extremely cost friendly and food is delicious and perfect portions. They never disappoint.

Well new review 6/2025 they have fallen off . Their chicken has become hard and chewy their quality and quantity of food has become bad and fell victim to the delivery charge erra... no Good“

“Best Chinese food I've ever eaten. I'm a skilled food critic and this was probably the best place I have ever had lunch at. On top of the food tasting amazing, the workers were super personable, and the wait for food was only about 5 to 10 minutes.“

“I moved to this area about 11 yrs ago, its been very hard to find your basic staples go to like Pizza, Bagels and Chinese. Ive been using 2 other local Chinese food places for the last 11 yrs. Good, but was never something I would write a review about. My only complaint is that I did not try this place sooner! By far, the best in this area. Everything you hear in the reviews is correct. The shrimp toast is fantastic and their boneless spare ribs were delicious and very tender. I was very pleasantly surprised about how good it was. I had it delivered and it came faster than the ETA provided. This is be my new go to place from this point on.“

“I have been going to this restaurant for about 15 years. The food is always pretty good, I love the dumplings, and I love their wonton soup! The people there are very friendly, especially the young lady that’s there most of the time. They deliver. What’s not to like?“

“I grew up going there. I always liked it. I would get the chicken and broccoli with white sauce, white rice. I would get wonton soup and shrimp roll. It's been there over 30 years. I don't know if it's new owners, have not ate there in awhile. I think it's been a few years. I have to back and try again. It's a take place, but they have a few tables. I called I wanted delivery which they don't do. I understand the roads are crazy, safety, they are busy cooking. They have I think GrubHub but I don't have any if those delivery apps. Anyway delivery can get expensive fuel charge, etc. Some places don't charge delivery fees, but your still tipping. Anyway they have good lunch specials. If they have cheese wontons I would try. I would hope they would be bid and filled with alot of cheese. Enjoy.“

“I Love This Place! There restaurant is very clean. There staff is very respectful. & there Food is Amazing. There food looks so clean & Fresh lol! I’m very Picky When it Comes To Chinese Food. To be Honest if it’s not from jades Garden I won’t eat Chinese Food. Try Them Out there Amazing!!“
