Decent food in a clean and warm environment. There is a commuter parking lot available certain hours, otherwise metered street parking.

I went to So Far So Good and it really was good! The staff was very friendly, the food was delicious, and the prices were reasonable. The restaurant has a cozy, family atmosphere that I loved and definitely makes me want to come back. The only downside was the cosmopolitan I ordered—it was a bit watered down. Other than that, everything else was great!

this place is so solid and a family favorite for YEARS. We had maybe three favorite Chinese places over our lives and this is the last surviving one.

I had not eaten there in so long (over 10 years). I recently stopped by and it was delicious just like I remembered. The food and service was amazing, especially the sesame chicken. The staff was very friendly and the food came out fast. We will be back soon!

City quality Chinese food next to the city train. Without controversy this is the best place in southwestern Nassau.

So Far So Good – Long Island, NY
I visited So Far So Good after hearing a lot of buzz online and from a couple of friends. The name itself is clever and inviting, and the space definitely has that cool, trendy vibe. It’s the kind of place that feels like it’s trying to offer something different—something more modern and stylish than your typical café or brunch spot in the area. And to be fair, it succeeds in a few ways. But overall, for me, it was a mixed experience—hence the 3 stars.
The interior is nice. Clean lines, good lighting, and a kind of laid-back, “Instagram-friendly” atmosphere. There’s greenery, cute tables, and a warm, welcoming layout. It’s a spot that makes you want to sit and stay a while. A lot of people were on laptops or hanging out with friends, and the place definitely gives off a creative, slightly upscale coffee shop feel.
The service was okay. Staff were polite but not very warm or enthusiastic. It felt a little rushed, even though the place wasn’t packed when I came in. I didn’t get much help when I asked for a recommendation, and the whole interaction at the counter felt kind of transactional. Not rude at all—just not the kind of customer experience that makes you feel like coming back right away.
As for the food and drinks, they were good—but not great. I ordered a specialty latte and a sandwich. The drink looked nice and had a decent flavor, but it wasn’t as rich or smooth as I expected based on the price. The sandwich was creative in concept but felt under-seasoned and small for what I paid. Portion sizes across the board seemed on the smaller side, which would be fine if the flavors were outstanding—but they weren’t.
What really stood out was how slow everything came out. I get that places like this try to focus on quality over speed, but even with a relatively quiet crowd, the food took quite a while. It didn’t ruin my experience, but it definitely made me hesitate about coming here if I were short on time.
Prices were on the higher end for what you get. I understand this is more of an artisanal or boutique-type spot, but when the portion sizes and flavor don’t match the price tag, it’s hard to fully justify it.
So overall? So Far So Good is… okay. It’s not bad by any means. The space is lovely, the vibe is nice, and the food/drinks are acceptable. But nothing blew me away. With a bit more attention to service, consistency in food quality, and maybe some adjustments in pricing or portion sizes, it could easily become a favorite spot. For now, it lives up to its name—so far, so good—but not great.
Would I return? Maybe, if I’m in the area and craving a chill space to sit for a while. But I wouldn’t go out of my way for it.
Your food in here is somewhat good. But I've walked into your restaurant today, and your silverware on your table was dirty. Why was that even acceptable for you to even put on the table disgusting?I walked out.

Food was pretty good and the service as well. Tea pot seemed a bit dirty and the upfront noodles were heavy and oily. We love the location and pricing was very reasonable . Solid 4 stars.

We live on the North Shore and friends suggested we try this place. It’s OK. Probably not worth the drive. There is nothing wrong with this restaurant - it just doesn’t quite measure up to the Asian restaurants in our neighborhood.
