The Orient Bethpage

"When I bit into the first Crab Rangoon that had minimal filling, I didn't think much of it. But when 2 more barely had a drop of filing in them, and the dough was separated already during the frying process, that is unacceptable and they should have replaced them. Not charge $7.99 for pieces of fried dough that are practically empty. The quality has declined here over the years and the higher than average prices are no longer justifiable for a sub par product."

"I loved this restaurant a number of years ago, haven't been here in a while seeing how I live in Oceanside. We recently purchased a business about 1.5 miles away and I was excited to take my Chinese wife here. Atmosphere is classic and the staff was very nice. We had three Dim Sum dishes, then ordered our food. We were surprised how quick the  entrees came to the table. We ordered a fish dish, a steak dish, and a vegetable dish. All three were slightly warmer than room temperature. Both my wife and I love our food Hot. It truly made no sense how this food could not be scalding hot, considering food that is delivered to my house from a Chinese restaurant is much hotter than this food that was made 60 feet from where I was sitting. Part of the reason was the plate it was served on was ICE cold. Anyway my wife and I did enjoy the food and the dim sum. I wanted to expressed my concerns to management, so I could keep coming back. I'm explaining what happened AFTER I paid my bill to a young lady behind the counter. As I am explaining it to her, the owner/manager walks past me, pushing me aside as he walks past me saying out loud yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Anyway we won't be back. Like I said we are new to the area and my Chinese wife and I will find a different Asian restaurant to frequent. We will scratch this hasbeen place off of our list. Sad"

"Delicious food! The Orient came recommended to me, so I finally got the chance to go and it didn't disappoint. The food was fantastic and the service was quick. We started out with the steamed pork dumplings. Then got the General Tso's chicken and chicken fried rice. General Tso's was delicious and cooked to perfection. The chicken was fresh and crispy. Will definitely be back!"

"Greatest Christmas dinner, ever. I was told this was some of the most authentic, delicious Chinese food in New York, but from the look of the restaurant, I would have never guessed. It looks like most other Chinese restaurants on Long Island, but the food is next level. We ordered everything family style so I felt like I got to try a little of every type of dish offered. My egg drop soup was very hot, just how I like it. The perfect starter on a cold day. Whether it was chicken, beef, or shrimp, The Orient nailed it. I get the hype now."
