This place definitely hits the spot. Especially the noodles! It's definitely a must have on chilly nights! I also love their cold chicken feet dish. Has a good bounce to it with a kick! The pan fried dumplings weren't my favorite but that's not what they're known for. I would choose the skewers as those were very good too. There's really not much to say about this spot other then that it has a great vibe to it. Inside has a very oriented theme and you get to taste of what real chinese food taste like! Well, a specific region but still ! If you're feeling adventurous. I would definitely recommend this spot. It's great for spicy eaters out there and non spicy eaters.

They took our order and the food came out pretty fast. The menu can feel a bit overwhelming since their seems to be a lot of choices. You can definitely ask them for suggestions. Our favorite was the spicy sliced pig ear and the tujia scallion pancake. The noodles that they use was soft but bouncy. I believe they use the same noodles for all their soup noodles. The soup for the noodles was tasty and was not too salty. Parking in front of the restaurant can be a bit of a challenge. We came here right before 6pm on a Saturday and it took a while to find parking. In addition, dinner time you might be waiting 15+ minutes for a table, so plan accordingly. Overall the food was very tasty, highly recommend.

Everything was wonderful except we've had better Pad Thai. The duck and Curry Noodles were my favorite. My cousin is Celiac and they handed her a takeout menu with everything circled she could eat or make it gluten free. How cool is that?! The ambiance is dark and inviting. The owner, at one point yelled out to all the tables, " Is ANYBODY ready to order?!" Obviously, the menu was enticing and hard to narrow down and nobody wanted to order quickly, lest they miss something. The whole restaurant chuckled. Everything was devoured. I even had an old college friend come up to me which was nice. She said she comes here all the time. Once you go there, you will too.

I am beyond frustrated with my experience here. I don't understand why, when you order a dish like…read moreeggplant with onions and peppers, the only option provided is "vegetables and tofu"--instead of just tofu or adding more of the vegetables that already exist on the plate but it apparently serves as an excuse to dump every cheap filler vegetable under the sun into the container. I ordered the Spicy Eggplant Basil because I wanted eggplant and tofu. I did not want a container overflowing with squash, cabbage, carrots, and bok choy. It's incredibly disappointing to spend $25 only to receive maybe five small pieces of tofu and four small pieces of eggplant. It feels like a blatant attempt to cut costs by padding the meal with "gross" fillers, and I ended up throwing most of it away. If I wanted a generic vegetable medley, I would have ordered one. Get it together. I will never be ordering from here again. There was absolutely no one in the restaurant. Completely overpriced, overrated, and underwhelming.

Lack of flavor in the broth plus these issues renders this a fail for me.

On a Saturday evening, we were able to get a table and it's a spacious but cozy dining room with lots of dark wood accents. It's a casual tavernesque spot and I think it's comfortable for families and friend groups alike, although I saw a few date nights happening around us. An all-around good vibe and expect swift and friendly service. They have one veggie option and normally that would be a little disappointing but when the one veggie option is THAT good, who cares? The broth is out of this world and there's generous amounts of bok choy, bean sprouts, bamboo shoots, spinach vermicelli noodles and tofu. I added on a fire bomb because hot & spicy is life and I'll leave it at this: this is perfect giant bowl of ramen. Slurp, slurp away!

No hesitation…read moreshe had her sights set on Voodoo Crab and their $17 lunch special, and honestly... she knew what she was doing. We got there right at noon and quickly realized we weren't the only ones in on the secret. Within minutes, the place filled up with hungry diners ready to dig in. We both went for the lunch special (because how could you not?). I ordered the shrimp & mussels, and my daughter went with crab & shrimp. Everything arrived in that classic messy-in-the-best-way seafood boil bag, drenched in that rich, buttery, seasoned sauce that you just have to mop up. The deal also comes with an appetizer and a drink, which makes it feel like an absolute steal. The shrimp were a little stubborn to peel but let's be real, that's part of the seafood boil experience. Nothing was slowing us down. The vibe was lively, energetic, and a little chaotic in that fun, "everyone's here to eat" kind of way. Service was solid and kept things moving even as the place packed out. If you're craving seafood without breaking the bank, this lunch special is 100% worth the trip. My daughter left happy and that alone makes it a win.

I have frequently dined at VC at their Centereach location. I have never had an issue-until…read moreyesterday when I went to the Massapequa location. Huge Mistake. For starters, the hostess had a RBF and zero personality. The roll of napkins on the table had food fingerprints from diners past. My son promptly switched the roll with another table. That should have been my warning. We order our drinks and appetizers and requested 2 glasses of water when we placed our drink order. Drinks come-no water. We request the water again and this time one glass comes out. There were two of us. Ok. Not really impressed with the level of attention from our server/s. Appetizers come out, which were fine, and then the meal arrives. I ordered the lunch special Cajun boil. I eat a few shrimp which were delicious, and I crack into the crab leg and the meat is gray. Mushy. Clearly spoiled. I immediately return the dish and when the manager comes to speak to me, he leads with "we changed vendors 3 days ago, and I would offer you another boil but since you didn't like it, I'm afraid the other crab might be the same". Because I didn't like it?! It was clearly spoiled and someone in your kitchen isn't doing their job. After a few more words, finally the apology come out (which is what he should have led with) and a 50 dollar gift card to another VC. He should have comped the entire meal!! The way this manager handled this situation was extremely poor and left a very sour taste in my mouth. This should have ended here. Alas, it did not. Because I ate the shrimp in the voodoo sauce from the boil, (which was contaminated) I got violently sick that evening. Vomiting, stomach cramps and was on the toilet seat on an off for 6 hours. Violently ill. I was unable to sleep because of the unbelievable discomfort. I ended up needing an IV of 2 1,000 ml bags of sodium chloride, Zofran for nausea and medication to stop the stomach cramping. Never ever again. They lost me as a customer.

From the outside, it's definitely not flashy--kind of looks like a little shack tucked away with not much visibility into the kitchen. My expectations were low when I went to pick it up, but I was seriously impressed the moment I opened the bag at home. They know how to do takeout right. Everything was packed perfectly--the broth, noodles, and toppings all separated to preserve the texture and quality. When assembled, the ramen was flavorful and satisfying, and the meat was tender and well-seasoned. It really felt like they put thought into how to make the at-home experience work, which is rare for ramen spots. The inside isn't much of a dine-in experience, so I wouldn't recommend it for eating there. But as a takeout ramen spot? This place is a hidden gem. Definitely one of my go-to comfort meals now.

For quick take out or order and sit, this place is a good option.
