One thing I can say it's a spotless restaurant. This place is always clean.. Always very polite and efficient and go here for years highly recommend read more

Finally found a new spot! I've been looking since my old favorite closed. Bo Wah is the real deal. We got a/s soup, ckn/pin fried rice, orange chicken, ckn w/ broccoli, and fried shrimp. Ready in 15 minutes and perfect!!! read more

Ordered take out for the first time. The young lady that answered the phone was easy to understand and quick to take the order. Food was ready in the amount of time said. Food was steaming hot by the time we got home still. It tasted really fresh but the sauces were different than what we were used to and the lo mein was flavorless. Not sure if we will order from here again. read more

All of the recommendations for Bo Wah are spot on!! By far the best Chinese take out in the area and beyond. The food is hot, fresh and delicious and the service is quick! I ordered my fave chicken and string beans. The chicken is so tender and not rubbery like other Chinese take out. The food is seasoned so nicely and it's so tasty. read more

Absolutely disgusting. I should have listened to my gut and never gone back here. The first time, I caught them putting my food into a container bare-handed like it was no big deal -- no gloves, no care for hygiene, nothing. I gave them the benefit of the doubt, but this time was the last straw. I found hair in my food. Hair. That is beyond unacceptable. Not only is it unsanitary, but it also proves they don't take cleanliness seriously in their kitchen. Clearly, they have no respect for their customers' health or money. I will never order from here again, and I strongly suggest anyone who cares about basic hygiene or quality does the same. Two strikes is more than enough -- Bo Wah has proven they're careless, sloppy, and completely unprofessional. read more

great food and fast service we go there ones or twice a week but they change one thing now the charge extra for the soup with the combo meal but besides that everything else is great read more

Inside looks very clean. Service is super fast and easy. Food is soooo yummy. Definitely the best Chinese food store around !

I never ever thought I'd write a 1 star review unless the circumstances were extreme. Well unfortunately tonight they were. I've been avoiding fast food, Chinese and such justto better my diet. Well tonight I was CRAVING Chinese so I suggested Bo Wah Kitchen. While the spare rib tid bits were delicious as well as my egg roll that unfortunately isn't enough. The general tso's chicken combo had the biggest sharpest piece of plastic I've ever seen. It's shaped almost like the tip of a knife? We called to just let Bo Wah be aware and they said we had to come in to get a refund, not before they tried to convince me that the lid possible snapped off. The lid is completely in tact as you can see. I brought it back and was refunded just for the general tso's. I really didn't feel like fighting so I took it and left. I genuinely enjoyed the food before this experience but now I'm just paranoid it'll happen again. Please be careful with any take out from this restaurant and make sure you save the receipt the item and the "issue" if need be. read more

This place used to be amazing I'm not sure if they changed ownership but it's really gone down hill . They constantly screw up orders as if it's deliberate . What was once maybe the best chinese location in long island is now horrible . read more

I have been going there for two years, each time hoping the quality of food would improve, especially when it was acquired by a new owner. I usually order chicken chow mein, roast pork egg foo young, sweet and sour chicken, and shrimp with lobster sauce. I generally order combination dinners that include fried rice and an egg roll. The fried rice is usually dry and has no taste. Same with the main dinner, the food has no taste. For example, the egg foo young is very bland. Their soups have no taste, specially the egg drop soup. I'm going to stop patronizing this restaurant because of the poor quality of food. read more

Our order was prepared as requested and portions were generous. Front desk was helpful and friendly. Our take out order was on time for pickup. We will certainly return in the future. read more

I love there food well made and very friendly I have recommended my friend and family to there restaurant

Love this neighborhood Chinese takeout place. They deliver as well! The fried rice, egg roll and wanton soup are my favorites.

Last two times we ordered from here the rice was missing and the gravy for egg foo young was missing. My husband drove back to pick up because we didn't want to wait for delivery. First time the owners were gracious. Second time the workers were not as cordial. The food was bland this time. Not sure if the place changed owners. We will be going elsewhere from now on. read more

This business will accept credit cards in the restaurant for pick up orders but not for delivery orders! They lost my business, everyone doesn't always have cash on hand. read more

AVOID THIS ESTABLISHMENT AT ALL COST. Easily the worst Chinese take out I have ever had. I had boneless spareribs... they reminded me of burnt strips of shoe leather soaked in red corn syrup. The egg rolls were cold and soft. The soup reminds one of dish water. If the owners of Bo Wah read this... you should be ashamed to charge people money for this utterly subpar product. Never never again....never. read more

Food is great and the service is better! Have not gone anywhere else since I found this place.

Ugh!!! I wish I could have given more stars but I could not. I wanted to give them a 2nd chance. Sadly it was a waste of money. I placed my order at 5:30 for a pick up at 6 PM I got there at 5:50 PM and my order was ready. I thought that was wonderful. Sadly when I got home the eggrolls were not even warm, which means that they heated them how long before I even ordered them.. The only reason I came here again is because I really wanted the wonton egg drop soup the wontons were nasty it was terrible. Positive, they give you three! Negative thing the wontons. The cheese wontons taste like onions, you can't taste anything else as there were onions in it, I actually threw it away. I only wish I took pictures of the food so you can see what it looks like. It looked beautiful. It looked delicious. I was sorely disappointed. It's like the people who do the cooking are not proud of what they're doing and just rush to get it ready. They need to be proud of the food that they make and create. The reason we go there is because a lot of us cannot make what they make. I don't think I will ever go back here again. I will have to go to the next town over and try a new place. Can anyone make a recommendation? read more

Love it here! Always consistent, quick delivery and great food! The only problem is the fried rice which isn't the best:( I recommend the hot & sour soup! read more

Great food and amazing staff. I order the Hong Kong soup it's soooo good. I recommend read more

It was my first time, I just moved here. I unfortunately on dang Christmas Eve; I worked from early Am to late PM again, not able to cook or even get anything besides raw veggies. Could not replace Polish dishes on this day or anything, but here I found this gem and I can't even describe the gratitude and appreciation. I have ordered a hot and sour soup I'd make at home with wild mushrooms from mushroom picking, chow fun with extra veggies and chicken scallion pancake wrap. I'd have taken a picture or video but my beloved inhaled most before I got to my chopsticks and bowl. The soup itself was amazing, but my picky person would like it more spicy and more mushroom. Obviously the scallion pancake was better than amazing. Personally, I don't think I ever had chow fun/hor this simple and amazing before. I hope more people come to this Long Island gem. Customer service was amazing, and knowledgeable from what I heard just wait for my order, kind as well. Accommodating, kind and caring. Prices are also reasonable but please, tip well! read more

Great food always and never a problem. Spare ribs are always great tasting and every meal I have ordered has been delicious.

9/10 times we are happy with our order. Better than any other Chinese take out around.

Good food shrimp and lobster sauce was delicious. Great lunch prices. Loved the eon ton soup. Order was ready when I got there

Food is very good and Fresh!!! Lo mein is one Of my favs with xtra garlic and the Hong Kong Style wonton soup(medium spicy) but not spicy at all just seasoned different is very very good also. read more

I have yet to have a bad meal here. I have been coming to Bo wah since my husband and I started dating 10 years ago. Since then I have not found a better chinese food place and I am traveling 20 min south from kings park ny. Their Chicken & broccoli combo with pork fried rice is my absolute favorite! the chicken is always cooked perfectly and even with my Odd order of asking for it "extra extra crazy hot spicy with red pepper oil and red pepper shavings" they get it perfect every time. Ps- if you like it spicy just order it like that, I almost laugh every time bc I sound ridiculous when ordering but it is so worth it. I have also tried their boneless spare ribs and wonton soup which was all also amazing ! read more

My niece had the fried wonton soup and she loved it, she said it was so flavorful and she would definitely order it again. I had the wonton egg drop soup which is my favorite and I also wasn't disappointed! We also enjoyed an egg roll with our soups. I like Bo Wah a lot and will continue to do business with them. I hope this is helpful to those who are thinking about trying them out. Enjoy!!! read more

Decided to order for delivery tonight...45mins and right on time. The girl on the phone was pleasant and took the order with ease...unfortunately the food was mostly lackluster in my book. We ordered General Tso's chicken combo (x2), a chicken and Broccoli combo, and a small pork lomein. The chicken was actually pretty good, and the best part of the meal. I order it extra crispy and extra spicy and I did get that, but the flavor was mostly due to their "hot oil" (in quotes because it is more of a thick Sriracha sauce rather then the usual hot oil). There also wasn't enough sauce for me. The rice was very mushy (very overcooked) and very bland. While there were large chunks of onions and a decent amount of roast pork, it seemed as though these items were cooked separately then tossed altogether instead of cooking them together to bring out the flavor. The lomein had a strange sauce on it that none of us really cared for...however, my mom seemed to enjoy her chicken and Broccoli...eggrolls were standard and a bit mushy in the middle instead of crispy and the filling seemed to be muddled altogether...nothing special at all. 3 stars because the service was friendly, they came on time, and the chicken was pretty good but not enough sauce... we will not be ordering from here again... read more

Their crab Rangoon's are something else. I drive from Babylon for these alone. Their food is good. Prices are not cheap but you get what you pay for. Remember to ask for sauces. They don't just give them to you. read more

All these overrated-by-Americans "Chinese restaurants" need to be stopped. I just had my Kung Pao chicken with raw peanuts on top. RAW!!!! PEANUTS!!!! It's not a f*cking salad and you should know better!!! Fry your f*cking peanuts and stop being lazy af trying to fool the customers. Because there ARE Chinese people living in America too. And yes I'm gonna copy this on your 4-star Yelp page you savages. read more

This was our go to place for many many years. I don't know why they don't post their menu online. We googled the menu which was mistaken prices ( sure no problem don't care about them raising prices at all) first time ordering chicken pineapple rice. On the menu I looked at just stated that and not shrimp. My husband gave me my food and it was with shrimp on top. We called up 2 days later to see what they could do. I would of brought my food back to get it without shrimp. The young girl got nasty saying that the menus are not correct and random people posting their menus up with different prices and different things on the menu. I then spoke to the owner who was so rude to me. I was trying to explain to her she did not want to listen and she said she didn't wanna do anything about it so I'm giving this business a one star which is really said we've been going to them for years and years and even when they make mistakes we never complain we just get a credit for next time. Very upsetting how the owner treated me. I got so mad I went down there a few minutes later with the meal. Owner starts yelling and screaming at me and was very rude. read more

I hate to get bad reviews but when somethings is bad it's just bad. I ordered general chows chicken combination platter. First off general chows chicken tasted like spicy orange Chicken and the pork fried rice literally just tasted like regular white rice. Lastly the eggroll was tasteless. One last thing is that fortune cookies are a staple a Chinese restaurant and the fact that I didn't receive any and I had to walk back into the restaurant to ask for some is a little ridiculous. I will not be going back here again and I advise you not to either. read more

It's local take out joint. It's below average. The wonton noodles are hard and tasteless. The lo mein in is flavorless ( no matter the type). General tsao, sesame chik, mooshoo pork - are ok. The boneless ribs are good. The fried rice is not good. I have been looking for good Chinese takeout in and around islip - there is -- none. I've lived here 25 years ! read more

Boneless Spare ribs are so good lots of flavor . Good is good we are always satisfied very clean inside also give it a try won't be disappointed. read more

Food is great! All of a sub den the do not take credit cards. Very inconvenient. I ha very been ordering delivery for years now I will have to find a take out that is not cash only. Very sad. read more

Been coming to this Chinese take out in Bay Shore for years and the food hasn't changed one bit. They have the standard take out dishes all done very well. Favorites are the Mongolian beef, General Tso's chicken and garlic chicken. They serve great spare ribs as well. Staff seems to be moody every time and the girls who work the counter look miserable seeing as it's constantly crowded when I come. Prices are pretty much the same as anywhere else. Probably my favorite Chinese place in the area. read more

I'm not that picky of an eater but the pork fried rice is mushy and the general tsos chicken had no crunch to it. Disappointed read more

The food was fresh, quickly prepared, and was some of the best shrimp lo mein I've tasted in a long time. The crispy beef was that - crisp - and the sauce did not overpower the meat. The leftovers tasted even better! One thing I noticed right away was how clean their operations were - isn't your typical hole-in-the-wall restaurant. read more

I 've been sereaching for a new take out place in East Islip and someone recommend this place. Place seems clean and friendly . However the food was awful !
