Restaurant was really crowded and noisy. Good for them, but I prefer places that are more quiet.

Food and service is good . Old school Chinese place . Soup dumplings are great . Two items i didn't like were chicken low mein and the fried rice It was fresh but was jot seasoned. Besides that all other food was good

Jani has been our go to take out for many years! We have always enjoyed the food. In the past we have had very small minor issues with delivery.....last night that changed For Valentines Day we decided to order Chinese with the kids. We ordered Several dishes, one being Kung Pao Chicken with extra peanuts. The woman repeated my order but said Kung Pao Chicken add Peanuts. I said yes kung Pao ( Sichuan) chicken add extra peanuts. She said ok. Very quickly the food arrived ( 15-20 min) I opened it up and everything was ok except the chicken. She gave me an order of General Chow chicken with peanuts on it. It was gross to look at. I immediately called back and informed her of the error. I asked that it be corrected. Instead of apologizing, instead of saying we will fix it, she said this is all your fault you ordered General Cho. She refused to correct the error. I told her very clearly no it was her mistake and why would anyone order extra peanuts on General Cho , it doesn't even come with peanuts much less to add extra? Aside from all of that I had mention Sichuan Chicken to clarify my order. She insisted I was wrong and told me no. That she said General Cho. I said clearly there is a language barrier here, and I asked to speak with someone else. As soon as I asked to speak to someone ,she said never mind I will just send out the new order. (This is after arguing with me for 5 minutes on the phone.) One hour later ( almost to the minute) the order of Kung Pao arrives. The deliver driver hands me the kung Pao , does not apologize and says please give us back our General Cho. So I went into my garbage and dug out the peanut covered General cho and gave it back to him. He grabbed it and left. So gross and very rude !!! Why did they want food back that was opened looked at and thrown in the garbage? Did they reserve this food? The world may never know!!!! What I do know is I will not be eating from there anymore

The food was much better 5 years ago.The prices are astronomically high for long island. Service is just okay at best.The food quality has gone down hill too.We used to go all the time even with 3 couples. These are Manhattan prices and now the place is like a ghost town during the week. 60 dollars plus tip without drinks for 2 entrees is crazy for 2 ppl. Everywhere is expensive today but not for that product and quality. I don't think they will be around too much longer.

Not my thing. I didn't like any of the food. The decor is nice but there is something off about the food. I order chicken & broccoli, pork fried rice, general tso and some other dishes but nothing was as good as other authentic restaurants I have tried.

We've been coming a lot to this restaurant but not on Saturday..Which was a mistake. The place was packed . The food was OK even though I thought my Hunan beef was kind of small for adult man, While I was sitting at the table one of the waiters bumped into me dropped the fork on my shoulder ,HE DIDN'T STOP, DIDN'T APOLOGIZE THAT WAS KINDA RUDE...Even when I called "Hey" he just ran away. ..I had their to go menu with me I just wanted to compare prices to my surprise TO GO MENU had prices slightly lower then DINE IN MENU, Hunan beef $17 vs 19.99 ..etc , I called Manager ,he told me that this is to go and this is dine in menu ..He didn't offer any adjustments even though I alway leave at least %20 tip ..that was kind of CHIP..On that note I don't think We will comeback there again .

I think this place is underrated. The food was delicious. We ordered wonton soups, chicken cashew and another chicken with peppers dish. I just think they need more waiters/waitresses to serve. It's very roomy here and I felt like I could stretch my legs.

We have been going to Jani's for the last 15 years and I am sorry to say in the last 3 years quality and taste of food has steadily been going downhill. We are finished, they have seen the last of us.
