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???“

“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!!!“

“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.“

“Daniela is my server.. She greeted me with a smile, guided me thru the menu, as I was a new customer & Daniela helped me set up my app and get my first rewards! Daniela also checked in during my time there at Mogu. She is exceptional, friendly, professional, cares about the customer and is passionate about the food and my dining experience. Daniela is an asset to Mogu and a wonderful customer “ambassador “ !

“Moved out here from Brooklyn and had not been impressed with previous Chinese takeout choices near me. Dah Lee came through big time. I was greeted and taken care of immediately when I came by to order some takeout. The chicken and garlic sauce was delicious, even though it was actually a little sweet. The fries were fresh and crispy. The steamed pork dumplings were juicy from whatever the pork is marinaded in. The fried rice orders were perfectly prepared as well. Good prices for the area. This is my new go to spot for Chinese takeout, and the entire family agrees.“

“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.“

“Got take out for lunch and it was delicious! The pork fried rice is exactly how fried rice should be! It’s not yellow rice. It’s actually real, authentic fried rice. We also had General Tso’s chicken and it was really tasty, white meat and a delicious sauce with a little kick. Will dine in next time!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Although a little far away at Centereach, this place is definitely worth visiting for their amazing food. They do have a long menu and plenty of options to select from. Tried their kung pao chicken and fish fillet in spicy sauce. Don't judge this place for the empty tables as most people I saw were doing takeaways.Overall, the experience was great and can't wait to come back!“

“I've been eating their food for about a year and some change now and they can usually guess what I want to eat . I like their sesame chicken and they package their foods really well with containers that don't spill and sort of snap shut. Due to the pandemic I've been sitting in my car after ordering and they usually bring out my food or signal me so I'm not waiting forever. The 2 girls that usually do the orders are pretty nice and polite .“

“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.“

“Great food, clean place but it isn't really set up to dine in, which is fine for me, but others may like the option. If you're looking for a solid place for Chinese food and don't mind taking out, this is a pretty good choice. Also, the staff is super friendly despite how busy they are.

Vegetarian options: You can order both vegetable and bean curd (tofu) variations on nearly all dishes.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“First time ordering from them. They’re one of the few Chinese restaurants in town that deliver, they give you a ton of food for a comparably low price, the food is good, they’re fast, and they even gave us a free liter of soda. ??

Vegetarian options: I’m vegetarian and tried their vegetable lo mein, spring rolls, and rice.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 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!!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“The menu is diverse with options you wouldn't expect to see at most local chinese restaurants. The yellow curry chicken is delicious, so much so I felt compelled to write this review. The dumplings also are very good. The donuts they threw in were a nice touch as well. The server was very polite even it being a late night order. Will be ordering again!“

“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“

“love their Chinese and sushi“

“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.“

“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.“

“Kid up front was doing SAT homework and got a question wrong, but the food made up for it. Staff was nice, food was great. Owner gave me extra food.

UPDATE: Kid is now doing ACT work and restaurant should add teriyaki chicken.“

“Wild rice is one of those local Chinese restaurants where everybody in the neighborhood loves it and they think it's the best Chinese food in the world in reality it's your standard American Chinese food a little bit above average I would say. In that area there really aren't any better places“

“Hubby loves this place teriyaki chicken on a stick. My last order of sesame chicken was super-duper dry it tasted old and had no sauce whatsoever. He ordered his usual chicken and broccoli and he honestly had 5 pieces of chicken in it and a loooots of broccoli.I ate a little tossed the rest…Yea I’m good not going back.“

“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“

“The best sesame chicken dinner platter in Suffolk county. Me and my girl love this little gem. Great food and prices.“

“I like to go with friends to this place with my warmest recommendations. I visit this place often. This recommendation is always successful. The dishes they serve are delicious and the crew is generous and cooperative. always when we go to this place we pass a delightful evening. warmly recommended.“

“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.“

“Best Chinese fried rice on Long Island light in color, not overdone and cooked perfectly. Also the best cheese dumplings, or as we call them crab Rangoon‘s and how special soup also the best around I’ve been to every Chinese food restaurant in the area for a small place there are second to none They always deliver food.within 40 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.“

“Noodlicious! To make yours vegan just ask for the "vegetable broth & no egg" ? Broccoli & bok choy tasted fresh and mixed with noodles = super yummy! This meal is 5 stars, but had to pick 4 on Happy Cow because it isn't an all vegan restaurant @alongislandvegan #alongislandvegan Updated from previous review on 2024-07-18“
