福临门海鲜酒家

ALWAYS enjoy our meals here, whether it's lunch or dinner. My husband frequently gets lobster Cantonese & says the lobster is cooked perfectly every time.

Authentic Cantonese style Chinese food on Long Island. Ordered beef chow fun and salt & pepper pork chops. Reasonably priced menu. They also serve dim sum all day, which I will have to try.

Food is traditional and portions good sized. Welcome alternative to a drive to Flushing. Server was attentive and well spoken. Pricing is reasonable. Parking can be challenging, lot in front and back can get full. Street parking is avail.

Bad service, terrible parking situation, and average food. We have great expectations from this new Cantonese restaurant, but so far they haven’t lived up to our expectations. The first time we were there was their grand opening and the service was bad. We thought we would give them another chance hoping the service would have been improved since grand opening. Nope. Nothing has changed. Still bad service second time around. We had to ask for tea, then we got wrong tea; we had to pack our own food when we were ready to check out. I like the shrimp dumplings and fried fish fillet with tofu, other dishes just average.

Orient Garden is a solid Long Island option for good dim sum, and I’m grateful there’s parking — even if the lot is a little tight. It’s nice not to have to trek into the city for classic dishes done well. The restaurant was clearly understaffed during our visit, and the space wasn’t the cleanest. We were given a few dirty plates and cups, though they did replace them when asked. The staff felt a bit overwhelmed, so service was on the slower, more chaotic side. That said, the dim sum was very good, and the lobster noodle special was delicious. When the food landed, it delivered. Overall, a place with strong dishes and some operational rough edges — worth it if you’re craving dim sum without the drive to Flushing or Manhattan, but go in with a little patience.
