Not too long ago dropped by for some hot food and that left a positive impression even though there were some minor nit picks. Confirmed I would be back for sushi and picked Valentine's Day to try it out. Not surprised place was jam packed when I arrived. Online order promised 20 minutes, I showed up a couple of minutes after that to see a bag making its way out of the kitchen. To my pleasant surprise that bag was indeed my food! Timing was great. Sushi was well assembled, had good flavor. Would be back again. Only little thing was got the tom yum soup with shrimp. It literally had 1 shrimp. Big. But single shrimp little bit disappointing. Overall great experience. Might be my new go to sushi spot! read more

Cherry Amber - Boston Roll and Spicy Tuna Roll - Asian Fusion Near Me - Plainview, New York

Came here for lunch today. Fan was on high - likely to get rid of the bad fish smells! Food was subpar for $50. Scallion pancakes very good. 3 - rolls for $17.00 sounds good till you eat them or attempt too. 1st the food was supposed to come with soup or salad that didn't come out at all till we asked after main dish came out. Salmon roll the fish was old and tasted like it should have been thrown out two days ago!! Who The F would serve that!! Boston roll was horrible lettuce too much fake crab bad. And they didn't provide soy sauce plates so it made for a shitty all around experience. Tuna roll acceptable I get better sushi at Stew Lenard's !! Go here for great sushi comparatively!! At a better price!! My wife had chicken teriyaki it was swimming with sauce and her salad was the size of a tangerine. Not even a tangelo. Miso soup vile!! Don't waste your money. Better value can be had almost anywhere else. Maybe go back to being the Planview Diner read more

Great update to a familiar spot from my childhood. I stopped into Cherry Amber today with my mom for lunch, and it was really nice to see the transformation....what used to be the old diner is now a Chinese fusion restaurant with updated, modern decor. We started by sharing the pork gyoza appetizer. It came with 6 pieces, which was perfect for splitting, and they were flavorful. The lunch specials are a great deal. They include a choice of white or brown rice plus soup. We both picked wonton soup, which came with two wontons each. The broth was delicious and comforting. The wontons were also great. For my entrée I ordered the chicken and broccoli in soy ginger sauce. It was very, very good and came with a generous amount of chicken for a lunch portion. My mom had the chicken and string beans in garlic sauce. She enjoyed the flavor, but didn't love that her chicken was shredded while mine was sliced. This was more of a texture preference than a taste issue. Service was okay; friendly, but we did have to wait a bit for water refills. Overall, a solid lunch and a nice refresh of the space. I would definitely return, and I wish them lots of success! read more

This Asian fusion restaurant just opened and was a former diner. It is beautifully decorated and very spacious. The service was quick for a new restaurant and the staff was very friendly. They are also kid friendly, which is great. They had a booster seat for my daughter. I would recommend adding on a kids menu though. The food was pretty good. My daughter had General Tso's chicken, which she enjoyed. My husband; mother in law and myself all had sushi, which was fresh and pretty good for a fusion restaurant. The miso soup was great as well as the ginger salad. We would definitely come back! So happy it's so close to my house read more

Who would think a converted diner could serve decent Chinese food? Well I can attest that this restaurant has done it. On both my visits during lunch hour, I found the restaurant exceed my expectations. read more

Second day after soft opening. Interior is beautiful, the bones of the building are the same as when it was the Plainview Diner, and I have very fond memories of that. There are plenty of velvety booths and comfy chairs. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Large menu, many vegetarian options . Portions were decent and food was excellent and nicely presented. Staff filled up water glasses regularly , which I always appreciate. Wish tofu was an option with pad Thai, and not just chicken and pork. Plenty of parking. They got rid of part of the kitchen and made a nice separate party room. Cherry Amber is a nice upscale addition to the neighborhood and I wish them much success. read more

Finally went to Cherry Amber tonight. We wanted to give them a few months to sort out their opening issues. My wife had the Tri-color sashimi and I ate the Mu-Shu beef. The sashimi was fresh, presented well and delicious. I was very impressed with the taste of my Mu-Shu beef. Came out hot and tasteful. I would order this again. Their salad was cold and the dressing was delicious. Service was excellent tonight. We will be going back soon. read more

Wonderful food and great service. Very attentive staff. Food is outstanding. Decor is upscale. Go to place

We did take out from cherry amber last night and I was unimpressed. I can't speak to service or inside of the restaurant but the food was just okay. The fish doesn't taste fresh. My salmon avocado roll tasted like the salmon was a day or two old if you know what I mean. The pacific roll didn't have a lot of flavor and neither did their shrimp tempura. The sesame chicken was like any other Asian restaurant, nothing special. Probably won't be returning read more

Beautiful location. Amazing staff. Delicious food! Highly recommend for lunch, dinner and takeout

Cherry Amber is a new Asian Fusion restaurant that is situated where the plainview Diner existed. It is a very happening restaurant that requires reservations if you want to make sure you get seated in a timely manner. There was not a spot in the parking lot to be had. Having reservations we were seated promptly. They have an extensive menu of Chinese, hibachi and sushi. We chose Chinese this time getting the sesame chicken and honey walnut shrimp and chicken. Both dishes were very tasty and the portions were generous. We had the hot and sour sour soup which was good and the wonton soup which was ok. All and all the restaurant was nice and the food good. The staff was very nice as well. I think Cherry Amber had found a new home in Plainview. read more

Walking in felt nostalgic--like the diner I grew up going to, but refreshed with sleek, modern décor and a vibrant vibe. We came on their first Friday, and it was packed. Even with the crowd, we were seated right away, though I do have to note our table and some around us weren't being cleared quickly, so empty dishes piled up while new food kept coming out. Overall, the food was good. Most dishes were really enjoyable, but the sushi missed the mark and felt more like something from an all-you-can-eat spot--poorly rolled and not great quality. The apps were solid, though the crispy rice and scallion pancakes came out a bit cold. The entrées, on the other hand, were full of flavor and definitely the highlight. It's a brand-new place and has the potential to become a local favorite. I liked it, didn't love it, but I'll give them time to settle in and would come back to try it again. For now, I wouldn't rush through the door, but it's worth keeping an eye on as they find their footing. read more

Visited for the first time last night. Both my wife and myself had the hot & sour soup which was very tasty and the Chilean bass for our main, the fish was in black bean sauce and was a very nice portion and delicious also on the plate was sticky rice and asparagus. We were pleasantly surprised at how good everything was. We definitely will be back to try more of their menu. Visited for the first time last night.

I tried Cherry Amber recently. I used to go to this establishment when it was Plainview Diner. I was happy to find out that the business that replaced it is Very good! Beautiful atmosphere, comfortable seating options. Nice happy hour. We both enjoyed our experience very much! I have been telling many friends and family about Cherry Amber. The waiter answered all our questions and was helpful the whole time. Looking forward to going to the happy hour with my friends. Definite recommend. read more

Very impressed with the food and service here. I was thinking of possibly eating in the restaurant but I was tired and hungry (just got back from the airport and a train home) and all I had was goldfish crackers and a little bite of cookie. Takeout was it. The restaurant is beautiful inside and pretty spacious. Service was excellent and the staff were very friendly and helpful. I ordered scallion pancakes, honey boneless ribs, and sesame chicken. Everything delicious and fresh. I do prefer sliced chicken over chunks but it was pretty good. The boneless ribs were also sooo good. Definitely will be back. 100 % read more

Stopped in for a snack at Cherry Amber in Plainview NY. There at 9 PM they close at 10. Met the owner. Got Ellen a fine assisting waitress who made suggestion of what to choose. After replacing a dirty knife and a cup of water with a pit floating in it, I ordered. Sushi was good, choice of chopsticks or silverware on table with brown cloth napkin and a paper one that I asked for. I tried the dumplings sampler with choice of scrimp , pork, chicken and vegetable fill too. They opened 5 weeks ago,a late start from the originally noted September. Their QR notes closed and needs adjusting. Their desert menu had sold out and they maybe had 1 piece of tremesu that I opted not to get. They're new with room for improvement. read more

We arrived without a reservation which apparently was a mistake however they gave us a table which we really appreciated. Dim Sum and dumplings were great! Came with multiple sauces which was a nice touch. Main dishes were very tasty and the selection was excellent. Had some udon with shrimp, Kung pao chicken and sushi. 5 stars in my book and I'm a huge Asian food junkie! Highly recommended and we will be certain to make reservations the next time around. Well done Cherry Amber. Looking forward to trying more of the menu on Christmas Day! read more

The good was just ok. Portions small. The service was disappointing. We were not given separate checks as requested and once corrected the credit cards went to the wrong accounts!! Unable to summon waiter for correction again! Manager was dismissive and disinterested. Will not be returning! read more

Very nostalgic feeling walking in here, after going to the Plainview diner a lot of my life this was a bit strange walking in knowing it won't be a diner anymore lol but nonetheless this is a great addition to the neighborhood. I made my reservation through Yelp for a Friday at 6:45 pm. We had a table for 3, we were seated right away. Now it is their first week opening so we did expect hiccups so keep that in mind for this review. We sat down and were given menus, we browsed their extensive menu offering lots of choices. We were finally greeted by our server Ellen who by the way is amazing. Her personality is awesome. We put in some drinks, they don't have their liquor license yet so we just opted in for some seltzers and waters. We all grazed the menu and decided to go a bit overboard and try a bunch of different things. We ordered, the boneless ribs, spicy kani salad, scallion pancakes, rock shrimp tempura, salmon crispy rice, Szechuan dumplings, Sambal samba and their sliced flank steak with Thai basil. The service and food took quite some time to come out, granted once again this is a Friday at their first week so we waited patiently. Everything started to come out little by little. It took a while for the busboys to clean the table so we were kinda making as much room as possible by clearing our own table. Everything was delicious, the taste was great on every dish. However, the sushi broke apart as soon as you attempted to grab it with chopsticks, so that's an area of improvement. Our crispy rice was served a bit cold because they were unsure of which table ordered it, which we noticed. Ellen did get our 2nd drink orders wrong but that's okay as we know they are overwhelmed. The steak was a bit overcooked but nothing here lacked in flavor. The appetizers are a bit on the smaller portion side for the price. But overall this was some good food, I'm glad it's here. I want them to get completely settled in until I return. I also am hoping they add some good happy hour / other specials once they do get their liquor license. The decor was okay still felt like I was at Plainview diner but they did a nice job of setting this up. I overall would think this place would be great, just need some more time and specials. I'm telling you get a happy hour there and I'm game to be here often. Oh btw, there was a small influencer there who was treated fairly great compared to everyone else, which is nice to see local influencers trying out this space but don't go forget there's other paying customers. But I'm glad this is here, it will have to compete with kashi and miko as the local neighborhood spots. So I'm excited to see what they do with that. read more

Their prices increased dramatically since they opened with little white tags covering old prices. Portion size has gotten smaller. The waiters are not the swiftest as I ordered pork dumplings received tasteless goyza stuffed something, manager took off 15% on price of dumplings only - big deal! Scallion Pancakes are flat no fluff, calamari varies with each visit. stick to an Italian Restaurant for that one. No noodles served with soup and menu lacks lots of traditional Asian Fusion items... Overall it's maybe a 5 on a scale of 10. read more

I did return a couple of months later and found the service to be coordinated at lunchtime. I'm a happy camper and will be returning. The food has been great both times I've been in. read more

This was our first time at Cherry Amber. When from the outside you would think it is a diner, but it our surprise, it is not and it's lovely inside. Looks like an upscaled Asian fusion restaurant. Modern and very spacious. Ellen our waitress was kind and funny. She gave recommendations and suggestions. Food was very good - we ordered some apps, main dishes and desserts. The only thing was the crispy duck which was an entree was small for the price it seemed. Everything else was very good. We will be back. read more

Went in the rain last Thursday. The food was solid. Service was good. No major complants. My soup dumplings stuck and fell apart but still tasted very good. Sushi was fresh and tasty.

Very large restaurant, a former diner. Has a large variety on its menu. My apple martini was served in a nice large martini glass and was delicious. Food was good but did not come out hot. Service was very slow which seems to be a common criticism of this restaurant. I would have given 3 stars if not for the slow service and lukewarm food. read more
