They have a full bar and a very extensive menu. Everything is well prepared, fresh, and not oily as some of those dishes tend to be at some places. We had bean curd and vegetables, sesame chicken, vegetable rice, and chicken and shrimp. My family found it all very delicious. We will definitely be back!

Absolutely the best sesame chicken I have ever had in my life. Wait staff were excellent, friendly, expeditious, and attentive.

Ok it…read moredoes: 1) The best egg drop soup in NY 2) Really, really good dinner combo C 23, the General Tso's Chicken with really good, juicy, crispy and tasty chicken and minimal batter in that gorgeous, sweet n tangy and slightly spicy rich sauce. Then the smoky and sweet pork fried rice. Oh wait, how about that egg roll; I am talking about the perfect balanced flavorful moist filling yet crispy non greasy crust as you smile and get into that packet of duck sauce. 3) The owner is something else. I ate in( about 7 chairs) and loved seeing the regulars popping in every few minutes to get their pick up orders that she already knew about including the omissions and special needs. Just a lovely, loving person whose kindness makes the food taste even better. 4) The inside is simple. Hey they pack a punch and it is a knockout! 5) She does not charge a cc processing add on fee. Seriously - for great Chinese food with amazing service and smiles galore from the chefs to the ladies at the counter, please park just east of Willis Ave on Hillside in Mineola and enjoy a meal at Chen's that will stay with you.

The place is huge, a perfect place for any celebration or a private family event on its party room. Noticed a sign saying ayce dimsum service everyday from 11:30-3:30. Current pricing -$20 pp. definitely a good reason to return. We dined in for dinnertime. We had excellent choices on its menu. Our food tasted so good, surpassed our expectations. The dumpling soup was not good but I loved my walnut prawn. My husband enjoyed his string beans with pork. My friend was overwhelmed by his sizzling seafood. My girlfriend liked her prawn in garlic sauce. The servings are big and could be shared, that's how we enjoyed all of our selections. We expected that there will be leftover. Guess what? we only consumed half of our serving plates. Pricing is very reasonable . I could see myself returning, this time with friends.

Manager approached me & says w a smug look what are u lookin for? Not-Good afternoon/welcome/How are u/Would u like to be seated? & without asking if I would like a table, sat me at the bar in empty restaurant. While I'm there, another person walked in and they offered them a table in the seating area. I'm at the Ramen bar, the chefs are stuffing their face-Instead of using a designated area out of sight of customers. I tried to make conversation so they would get a clue-Nada. That was my 4th & last time. I honestly should've left upon arrival but tried to give them the benefit of the doubt. It got worse & my entire meal was rushed. I tried to bypass the lack of Hospitality from previous visits, and even recommended the place to some of my peers and their recent feedback + feeling rushed, was similar to mine. I did not leave a tip, and the manager got confrontational with me. I politely shared my feedback and walked out. Based on that experience, would you go back, would you have left a tip?

When you dine in they will bring some sliced watermelon, water and rice crackers to the table to start your experience. I ordered a number of different dishes to get a feel for the place, as well as feed the family. The order: walovi/Wanglaoji (can of tea served cold) Scallion Pancakes, Lychee Shrimp Balls, Beef Soup with hand pulled noodles, special dumplings, Mashed Cucumber salad, sausage, and stir fried beef noodles. Overall the food was amazing 9.5/10 The entire meal was delicious, the noodles were perfectly cooked and the dishes full of flavor. The Leychee shrimp balls were excellent, the mashed cucumber salad was refreshing and full of flavor. All the dishes were seasoned well, the special dumplings were a little over seasoned and thus the 9.5 instead of a perfect 10. The tea was refreshing and not overly sweet it was the perfect accompaniment to the meal.

What a hidden unassuming GEM, right in the middle of Franklin Square! This restaurant is family…read moreowned/run and has been in business for about 2 years. The restaurant is smallish and can probably seat up to 18ppl. This is a unique Harbin restaurant (the Capital region of a Providence in Northeast China). This authentic cuisine is hard to find; even in Flushing, Queens! On their store awning, it states "We Make Real Chinese Food".... They ain't kidding!! Note: Closed on Tuesdays! We went for lunch on a Saturday, and the restaurant was full of Asian people. There was a steady flow of Asians the entire 2.5 hrs we were there! (Yes, we had a leisurely 2.5 hr lunch; catching up with friends from out of town. lol) Our menu (shared by 4 adults, 1 child): -- House Special Dumplings ($18/12pcs): we ordered these boiled. Tasty; especially with the chili sauce and vinegar. -- Sauteed Tofu Sheet w.Chili Peppers $18: traditional Northeast China dish. Good but would have been better with more chili peppers. We added chili oil for an extra kick. -- Double Cooked Pork w.Sweet & Sour Sauce $20: Excellent dish! Preparation is very unique! There was no actual sweet & sour "sauce" but rather, the sweet & sour condiments were cooked into the batter of the pork. Loved this dish! Get this! -- Mala Lamb Ribs $28: Another Excellent dish! The spicy and numbing Mala taste was obvious without being overly spicy. Great flavors, Great texture. Get this! -- Pork Fried Noodles $15: All noodles are hand-pulled on-site, with noodle chefs having over 20 years of experience. This dish was made with just ONE very long noodle! Served with a pair of scissors. lol Great texture, and soooo satisfying! Even better with some chili oil! This had limited protein but a good dish nonetheless. -- Northeastern Style Braised Pork Elbow $36: Excellent dish! Huge portion. Perfectly braised, fall-off-the bone deliciousness. It was slightly salty, so definitely eat this with some rice. Get this! -- Rice ($2/bowl): entrees do NOT come with rice, so order on the side. -- Condiments: on each table, there is a condiments tray consisting of chili oil, vinegar, soy sauce, and salt/pepper. Definitely try their chili oil and vinegar. This really enhanced the flavors of the food. But some of the dishes didn't need condiments at all, and were terrific as served. Customer service was so warm, welcoming and friendly! They are happy to answer any questions you may have, and offered great suggestions. So, if you've never had Harbin Cuisine before, peruse the 6 page menu and ask questions before ordering! Lots of great dishes on their menu! Parking: street parking is available (in front and on the side road). They do have a small parking lot in back but spots are limited since it's a shared lot. Looking forward to a return visit to explore their menu. What a treat!! Thanks to Y&Z for a wonderful 1st experience at your restaurant!

This was my first time getting take-out from Golden Wok and I chose this place based off Yelp…read morereviews. The place itself looks clean, but I have mixed feelings about the food. The shrimp lo mien was very tasty and a good portion size. The fried chicken wings were decent too. BUT, I also ordered General Tso chicken and it was disgusting! It was fried entirely too hard, in old oil, and was covered in a red sauce- red red like food coloring- see pic. General Tso usually comes with broccoli- this order came with **TWO** small broccoli florets with lots of carrots, celery and green peppers--- YUK! I also ordered egg rolls and was given all pork! I guess if you don't specify no meat- they automatically give pork. Finding good Chinese takeout nowadays is a hard task but this place is definitely NOT it.

All Chinese restaurants usually are Chinese operated and owned. I dont know if MOGU is Chinese owned, but from my observations it doesnt appear to be Chinese operated. I have never set foot at any locations and this was my first experience at MOGU at the Mineola location. I chose this location because my daughter had a performance and I knew we would be hungry, this looked new, big, and from all the pictures/menu the food looked pretty good. I didn't have any expectations. The food was surprisingly good. I wouldnt say its so amazing that you have to go out of your way in coming here. But if you were in the area, it's definitely worth a try. The lo mein noodles, sesame chicken, and scallion pancakes were the items that were our favorite.
