    We went here because I wanted sushi and other ppl wanted hot Chinese food. This place has both. Service felt rushed, they kept asking for us to order when we were just looking at the menu. Also my sushi initially was bought out with cream cheese which was not what I asked for. They had to redo it. The sushi fish was not as fresh as a full Japanese place. The bamboo shoots with pork was not tender. The veggie bean sprouts were tough too. I really liked the braised eel in brown sauce. The other Chinese dishes were clam soup which was good and simple, the meatballs. Overall the bill was not the cheapest with tip came to about $200 for 3 people. I'm glad they seem to not use too much MSG. Anyways it's a good place to come if you want both sushi and authentic Chinese food. Nice ambiance, modern, clean.

    House Special Lo mein

    Ordered House Special LoMein to eat at home and was disappointed that theres hardly any vegetables. Taste was bland. And this is supposed to be house special. Not sure if ill buy again...

    We have been going there for many years. Lately the cleanliness is poor. we sat at a table by the windows. there were a lot of flies in the window sill and flying around the table. one flew into the soup and one flew into the glass of water. The standard of food has gone down. the green tea was just hot water. the new waitress was not friendly or efficient. last week my brother ordered chicken with garlic sauce and instead was served Curry chicken. over all a bad experience the last 2 times. will not be going there again.

    Scallion Pancakes & Steamed Shrimp Dumplings
    Aba H.

    I gobbled up the boiled tofu and spinach soup before I even thought about taking a photo, but at least you can see the other two appetizers I had for lunch yesterday (scallion pancakes & steamed shrimp dumplings) (same dipping sauce for both). All three items really good. I've been here a few dozen times because it's near my office. Their "Bento" boxes are a good deal: salad with ginger dressing; Shumai (little fishy dumplings); California rolls; a veggie (usually broccoli); and the entree. My favorite is the shrimp & veggie tempura. They do both Chinese & Japanese. When they bring the check, a chocolate fortune cookie is an option. Large easy parking lot in front.

    Shrimp and lobsters sauce was good.

    A refereshing change from the former and very popular Kikkus. The interior is far more relaxed, and the food is a bit more traditional. I prefer this vibe. The sushi was fresh, the service was friendly, the wontons were light, the soup wasn't too salty, the shrimp and lobster sauce was really flavorful and shrimps were big and cooked perfectly. Nice place to stop in for any type of experience, quiet enough for a date, nice enough for a light business meeting, friendly enough for mom or family etc.

    I came in here most recently with my folks, armed with a restaurant.com gift card. Four stars for the dinner box value, 3 stars for everything else on the menu, and 1 star for our awful waitress who seemed to have been born without a voice and/or personality. Upon being seated, be prepared for an overwhelmingly long menu that'll give you good memories of your neighborhood Chinese take-out joint. Add in the Japanese section and you've got quite a lot of reading! At the first opportunity of communication, our waitress failed miserably, unable to answer grade-school caliber questions such as "is this spicy?" or "What type of sauce is this?" When I say FAIL, I don't mean she didn't know the answer, I mean she LITERALLY SAID NOTHING. Needless to say, this was a painfully awkward experience that shouldn't have been. I started with a specialty sushi roll and ordered the Mango Thai w/ beef. Mom and dad ordered the chicken w/ eggplant and Lamb w/ scallions, respectively. A selection of the dinner items are available on the "Dinner Box specials" menu, which includes either two dumplings or a spring roll, a soup, and a dessert for only an extra $3 over the a-la-carte entree. As mentioned before, that sweetens the deal for the already fair menu prices here at Golden Temple. For dessert, my father asked our waitress for the green tea ice cream, only to find out from another server (remember, our waitress doesn't talk) that only chocolate and vanilla are included. OK not a huge deal, but is green tea ice cream really that much more expensive or something that you can't just include that too?! Oh, and when we showed our waitress the restaurant.com coupon?! Fuggedaboutit! She looked like she was going to have a straight up heart attack right next to our table. She scurried off into the back kitchen with our coupon and was thankfully able to apply the $25 discount. Had it not been for our mute waitress, I'd say the experience was good overall. Considering the friendly hello's and goodbye's we got from the other staffers working, I don't think it's a stretch to expect a basic level of communication skill and knowledge of the menu from ALL of the servers here...just sayin'

    We ordered for delivery. Don't remember asking to add a roach in my order. I think the pics speaks for itself.

They started with a complimentary shrimp appetizer, but unfortunately we told the server we did not eat shrimp. He was surprised but then asked if we might like edamame, which we did. The shrimp dish did look good and was surprised they would give a more expensive complimentary dish. Anyway, nice menu and all tasty . My only negative comment is to recommend NOT to sit at the table in front of the door . It opens frequently and at least during the winter is very cold, not to mention that the headlights on the other side can go right in your eyes. Other than that , it's really a great new addition . In the warmer weather I can see they will have outdoor seating on the patio, which could be nice.

The only negative about the ambiance was that it was quite loud. The high ceilings didn't do much to absorb sound, so it was hard to hear my companion unless we leaned forward and spoke pretty loudly. The booth was very comfortable, the table spotless, and even the menu was clean (a small pet peeve of mine). The tap water came in a beautiful glass with a straw, although the water itself tasted a bit chemical-like. They have a lunch menu with very reasonable prices. We ordered a sushi-sashimi combo and stir-fried soba with vegetables. The lunch menu is limited, so they also gave us the regular menu. Oddly, only 1 regular menu was provided for 2 people, so we had to keep passing it back and forth. It's an easy fix that would make browsing much easier. We ended up ordering an appetizer and a signature roll from the regular menu too. The lunch specials came with salad or soup. We chose the salad, which was mostly romaine with a typical Japanese dressing. The portion was larger than expected for a side salad, and the lettuce was fresh and crunchy. Our appetizer was the Lobster Tapas: "Spicy lobster & shrimp wrapped with seared pepper tuna." This was delicious. There were 5 little towers with very fresh ingredients and 2 excellent sauces--a chunky green sauce and a sweeter orange sauce. The tuna was flavorful and very tender. At this point we were already planning to come back with the rest of the family. Next came the sushi-sashimi combo. There were 9 pieces of sashimi beautifully presented on ice, plus 3 pieces of sushi and a spicy tuna roll. The sashimi was very fresh, tender, and flavorful, especially the tuna. Unfortunately, the spicy tuna roll was the weak point. It tasted dry, lacked flavor, and seemed to contain far more crunchy fillers than tuna. It reminded me of a meatball with too much breadcrumb and not enough meat. I'd rather have a smaller roll with better-quality fish than a larger one padded with fillers. The spicy tropical roll was also disappointing. It too seemed to contain more fillers than fish, and the sauce was a little too sweet. It didn't taste fish-forward enough for a "signature" roll. The flavors leaned more fusion than authentic Japanese. If ingredient cost is the issue, I'd gladly pay a few dollars more for a better fish-to-filler ratio. The stir-fried soba with "vegetables" was also disappointing. The noodles didn't taste like Japanese buckwheat soba, and the both the taste + presentation reminded me of instant ramen. The flavor was decent but nothing memorable, and there were only a few pieces of zucchini--nowhere near enough vegetables to justify the name of the dish. The service was good overall. Our server was very sweet and friendly but definitely could use more training. While we were both trying to read the single menu, she interrupted to take our order instead of asking if we needed another minute--or even better, bringing us a second menu. Not a huge issue, but not especially pro or polished. As we were finishing, we ordered a couple of takeout items for a family member. The server kindly offered to package our leftovers with the takeout, which was appreciated. However, when the bill arrived, 1 of the takeout dishes was missing. It took a while to get her attention, and when we did, she reprinted the check without explaining how much longer the forgotten item would take. She did swing back to say she'd ask the chef to expedite, but we still waited quite a while, making us late for a meeting. As for the takeout, the Valentine Roll was just ok, similar to the signature roll we had at lunch. We also ordered a tuna roll, yellowtail roll, and sweet potato roll. None were bad, but they lacked the flavor we expected. Whether it was the rice or the ingredients, they just didn't stand out. Overall, it was a nice lunch. The beautiful restaurant, fresh sashimi, generous salad, and excellent appetizer showed a lot of promise. Unfortunately, too many of the rolls relied on fillers instead of fish, the soba missed the mark, and there were a few service missteps. They're very close--just a handful of small, doable improvements could elevate the experience from okay to outstanding. I hope they do.

    This place is soooo good…read more I come here often for my sushi fix. Ordered a chicken satay for the appetizer and it was bomb. Just make sure you aren't allergic to peanuts. otherwise, the sauce they give you to dip it in is otherworldly. I tried 3 of their specialty rolls on my most recent trip. The Crazy Roll (spicy tuna, yellowtail, salmon, crunch, avocado & cucumber) delivered a nice spicy kick with great texture from the crunch. The Super Dragon Roll (panko eel, avocado topped with julienne crab and red tobiko) was rich and satisfying. The panko gave it a nice crunch while the toppings brought sweetness and color. The Sweetheart Roll was a solid pick too, with a good balance of tempura, crab, and the smoked salmon/cooked shrimp on top. The fish tasted fresh overall, rice was properly seasoned, and the presentations were appealing. Service was friendly and the spot has a comfortable vibe for a casual sushi dinner. Portions are satisfying without being overwhelming. After I finished, I felt satiated but not stuffed. I'm ready to come back again to try more rolls. Give this place a shot!

The service is also really fast and the waitress is really nice. I've also come a couple of times for lunch with friends and the place usually isn't packed. Their sushi is pretty good for what it is and is just a classic for a night you don't want to make dinner. I haven't really tried anything else on the menu to say much about that but maybe another time!

Some nice sides. Like the bamboo is very authentic tasting. Egg done nicely. The unforgivable: the noodles were NOT Al dente. Quite soggy tbh. Friday evening with about 3-4 groups. Not overwhelmed. Having soggy noodles at a ramen place is not ok. I can't forgive this. Would be like a steak house overlooking the filet mignon. Or a sushi place that didn't use vinegar in the rice. I have a lot of trouble leaving average reviews for nice owners. Ramen is ramen though. The central part of it is the noodles. Please let me know when the noodle timing is better. Would be happy to return.

As soon as we walked in, we were warmly greeted by Melinda, one of our favorite waitresses, and were seated right away. May, who was also working tonight, promptly came over to take our order. She politely asked if we needed menus, but I declined since we already knew exactly what we wanted. We've had this same exchange with May quite a few times during our recent visits. We ordered our usual: the Sushi for Two, which comes with two specialty rolls and 18 pieces of sushi. Tonight we chose the Dozo Dozo and the Futomaki Special rolls. The meal also comes with either soup or salad, and tonight we both chose the soup. That's how much we love this dish. We had just returned from a two-week trip to South Florida this past Saturday, and the very next day--Sunday--we came here and ordered the exact same meal. And here we are again tonight doing the same. This restaurant consistently serves some of the freshest, premium-quality fish around. Tonight's 18 pieces included bluefin tuna, O-toro, king salmon, scallops, sea bass, red snapper, fluke, yellowtail, and Spanish mackerel. Every piece was tender and incredibly fresh. Yes, the price reflects the quality--but you absolutely get what you pay for. In my experience, there are not many sushi restaurants on Long Island that consistently serve fish of this caliber. We left once again completely satisfied, which is exactly why this place remains one of our weekly go-to spots.
