    Dim Sum Sampler
    Jihye B.

    I went to Cherry Amber a couple of times now. First was for a dinner service with a rather large group. I liked the spacious hall and the availability of the semi-private area, where we were seated. I was really impressed by the sushi platter for two, which we ordered as a table appetizer. The sashimi pieces were really fresh and of good quality fish. I had the shrimp Singapore noodles, which was heavy on the spice but salted delicately, almost bland but in a nice way. I do wish it was a little bit saucy or varied in flavor, though. The second time, I visited early on the weekend and tried the brunch prix fixe menu. I had the dim sum appetizer, which was presented beautifully. Unfortunately, the wrappers were pretty dry. I also had the wonton soup, which was also a little lackluster though the mild soup was nice. For my entree, I had the beef curry with brown rice. I did like that the fried tofu was in there. Unfortunately, the beef was prepared in what I think was an attempt to tenderize it. The tough parts were still there but the rest of the meat felt mushy and really flavorless, almost like wet cardboard. I do think some of the dishes, they did fine. However, the menu is too expansive and it's hard to figure out what the restaurant can do well. I know it's an Asian fusion diner concept, but I do hope they'll pare down the menu a bit and highlight the dishes they could do well instead of relying so much on pre-made items executed poorly.

    Chicken and String bean in garlic sauce (lunch)

    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!

    Boston Roll and Spicy Tuna Roll

    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!

    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

    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.

    Tri-Color Sashimi
    Lon M.

    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.

    Shrimp Tempura Roll salmon Salmon w.Avocado Roll
    Ash M.

    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

    Everything went well! First time there with my family today! Service was excellent the food exceptional!!! The restaurant s atmosphere was so good!! Can't wait to return! Good luck and I hope this place does well... you won't be disappointed!!!

    Sesame chicken

    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.

    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.

We decided to give them another chance and returned today, only to have another frustrating experience. We made a reservation specifically for hibachi. When we arrived and told them we had a hibachi reservation, we were simply told, "No, not right now." There was no apology, no explanation, and we weren't even given the option to wait for a hibachi table. At that point, what was the purpose of making a reservation? We ended up sitting at a regular table and still ordered hibachi dinners. To make matters worse, our food came out at different times instead of all together, so some of us were eating while others were still waiting for their meals. One of the main reasons we chose hibachi was for the experience, the ability to enjoy the meal together, and to celebrate my friend's birthday. A reservation that isn't honored made for a very disappointing visit. After giving this restaurant a second chance, we will not be returning.

    Absolutely would be back here!…read more I was in the area for work and was craving sushi. This place popped up and I am so glad it did! I went for a quick stop after work and wanted something quick- (I chose to dine in). I can tell you the service was quick! The server was attentive and took my order. I was in and out within the hour. They have seating available inside as well as outside. It has a lot of seating and it looks pretty clean in inside. They also have happy hour specials. The food was great. I ordered: Appetizers: -Clear Soup: delicious! Possibly the best and most unique clear soup I have had yet. Not your typical flavor profile. This one tastes like it was made from scratch- the broth is unique- it has a sweet aftertaste to it. The soup also has spinach in it and mushroom. Very unique and tasty overall! -Calamari steak: I'll admit I was in the craziest mood for calamari- this was one of the reasons I stopped by here. I'm a big fan of Ika Maruyaki (bbq squid) and noticed this place did not have that but this instead- I saw good reviews on it so checked it out- I will say while the calamari was cooked perfectly, the flavors weren't clicking for me. It is greasy, and the seasoning on it has an abundant mustard flavor. It became more and more overwhelming as I dove into it more, and by the end (which it was an effort to make it to that point, I'll admit) I was itching to pat the seasoning off of the calamari to make it somewhat more pleasant to eat. Would not order this again. Sushi: -Spicy Mango Shrimp Roll: solid sushi roll- rice is soft, the ratios were perfect, and the mango sauce it was topped with was also pleasant for me! -Dinosaur Roll: my friend ordered this and I had a bite of it, very good!! Loved the overall ratio from the shrimp tempura to the eel to the eel sauce. Overall a solid experience. Very fresh food and quick service- for those who work in the nearby business park.
