    This is a solid Chinese food spot on Long Island. I've brought my family here and we enjoyed quite a few dinners here. I heard they also have dim sum but I haven't personally tried it. Service is decent but it's better if you speak Chinese, we've tried speaking English to some of the servers and they don't always understand what you're saying. I really enjoy the fried fish fillet with salt and pepper seasoning from here.

    We've been here multiple times and it's definitely our favorite dim sum on LI! Today we arrived as they opened at 11am to celebrate Lunar New Year! Our daughter happened to be off from school and we thought it would be the perfect place to celebrate. They had the carts rolling along and we were able to grab most of our favorites that way but put in a separate order for some dishes as well. We had the roast pork turnovers, egg tarts, custard buns, shrimp stuffed eggplant, har gow, Xiao long bao, shumai, pork and chive dumplings, turnip cakes, shrimp rice noodles, and sticky rice in lotus leaf. Every dish was better than the last and also very fresh. Service is always very pleasant, the waitress even took the time to teach my daughter how to properly use chopsticks! Can't wait for our next meal here!

    Crispy fried dough wrapped in rice rolls

    First impression- ambiance is your typical Chinese dimsum restaurant a little dark, reasonably clean but at least the fish in the tank is still swimming and alive! That's a plus + Food (review is just for dimsum) is mid, can't say they are super delicious but they aint the worst. I say stick with the spare ribs, shrimp rice rolls and shrimp dumplings and you'll be alright. The siumai and chicken feet were decent. Definitely stay away from the turnip cake cause was all dough all day no filling, the only positive from the turnip cake is at least it's crispy on the outside. Service was surprisingly good, maybe we went early and there weren't too many people. Got a tea refilled a few times and no slamming food on table, I take that as a W especially for a dimsum place woohoo!

    Chicken Lettuce Wrap (4) very good

    I've never been a huge fan of the Bethpage Orient, but my dear friend is and this location is mid way between her home in Bayville & mine in Westbury. There's not many exciting places to meet up, tonight we decided to try Orient Odyssey. I hadn't been here since the first weeks after they opened. It did not disappoint and I look forward to returning. Everything that we ordered was exceptionally fresh & well prepared. Service was excellent, the folks here are used to dealing with the locals who know what they want and we watched how interactive the staff was when taking orders.. they have large round tables with a lazy susan which is always great for large parties. The decor is nothing special, the seating is oddly set up & spaced out, almost an afterthought around the comfy green pleather booths. A few large TV's up high on the walls with the Met game on. Very solid, old time Chinese restaurant with an extensive menu that included traditional dishes as well as favorites typical of Long Islanders. Though I did not notice a pupu platter ! Loved the string beans with chilis, Chinese broccoli steamed w some garlic, eggplant shrimp appetizer and chicken lettuce wraps. Jasmine tea upon request.

    This place is super convenient for satisfying a craving for dim sum on Long Island! It's definitely not the same as going to Flushing, Queens but still makes for a tasty brunch on the weekends. The service is pretty good and they're pretty efficient given how busy it can get sometimes. I will say that sometimes the chairs and windows are a little dirty which ruins the experience a little but overall it's an easy place to go to and is right next to Whole Foods, Marshall's, and some salon and bagel places.

    Spring Rolls +

    It's sad to note that we've never noticed Orient Odyssey, a charming Chinese Hong Kong Style Restaurant, that we overlooked for years. Perusing the lunchtime menu, I was very happy to see Dim Sum options available in addition to the usual Chinese fare. My knowledge of Dim Sum kicked in so I asked my colleagues if they've ever tried Dim Sum and if they mind if I ordered a few items. I'm no Dim sum expert, but will say I gained some know how from my invitations to Flushing brunches by my Yelp friends...looking at you TC and Anna! These experiences allowed me to take the lead on ordering my Dim Sum choices. Our obligatory Lazy Susan circled our table with complimentary Hot Tea to start us off and then the non-stop flow of orders started trickling in. Two orders of each - Turnip Cakes, Crispy Fried Taro Puffs, Crispy Spring Rolls, Shu Mai, Leek Dumplings. Plus, staple lunch orders for the not so adventurous or so they thought...Chicken and Broccoli, Spiced up General Taos Chicken and another Spiced up Shredded Pork dish. Each lunch order, as is customary came with Egg Rolls and Fried Rice. For this party of five we way over-ordered. But over ordering allowed everyone to get a taste of everything which garnered a ton of mmm's and ahh's. Their initiation to Dim Sum was a huge success! Pat on the back for Pat. :) I respect and admire restaurants like this as the food did not disappoint, the service was friendly and considering all that was ordered our tab was extremely low. Orient Odyssey, you will never again be overlooked.

    Metal Piece inside their spring roll
    Candylene P.

    Pls. Be careful when ordering their spring rolls. I ordered them and immediately noticed that there was a metal material inside them that I almost swallowed thinking that it was just a bone. This is very dangerous and a health concern.

    My son with dim sum!

    Since moving to Long Island from queens it has been hard to find authentic dim sum or dim sum in general. My friend told me about this spot, she lives around the area. I live about 20 mins further out and did not know about this place. There is plenty of parking which is a big plus! Upon walking in, the ambience was welcoming. The hostess greeted my son and I and seated us immediately. The restaurant was clean, tables were clean, menu was neat and clean, and the vibe of the restaurant was nice, crisp, modern, and clean. They have a nice selection of wines behind the counter on display and available to purchase. The ladies were walking around with carts and there were other servers checking in on us asking if we needed anything else. My son and i got our usual faves : 1. Shiu mai 2. Shrimp noodle 3. Turnip cake 4. Beef stew with turnip 5. A side of rice It was sooooo delish!! We didn't finish it all! We were able to take it home and have it for dinner. Which by the way, tasted just as good!! We definitely are going to start coming here for dim sum!

    Preserved Egg with Pork Congee

    A Chinese restaurant that serves dim sum, Cantonese dishes, and Americanized Chinese food! It's located near Whole Foods and parking is a hit or miss depending on the time of day. The food isn't as good as Flushing but it is good enough to satisfy a craving. You also can't beat the convenience! The dim sum dishes are good. They give you plenty of sauce for the rice rolls. Congee is always served warm but they could put more toppings/ingredients as it's mostly just plain congee. The entrees have good portions but their fried rice is too salty for my taste. I would opt for their white rice instead.

    It's so hard to find a dimsum spot in Long Island. A friend recommended this place so I thought I give it a try. Let me say that it didn't quite hit the spot but compare to the distance of flushing. It's as good as it gets. I would say majority of their selections are your standards for dimsum. Nothing special nor great. Essentially they have 3 carts. 1 cart carries all their "Specials" like fried eggplant and fish or Turnipcake, pinapple min muffin bun, egg tarts etc. 2nd cart entitles all their mains like chicken feet, shui mai, steam pork ribs, beef ribs etc. and Lastly the last cart covers anything wrapped in churn fun (noodle). They speak mando, canto, and english. Their turn around is fast so the wait time isn't too bad. Overall it's a decent spot if you don't want to trip to Queens. My one complaint.. my only complaint and im sorry. I am a BIG shumai snob. This is purely me. When I go to dim sum and your shumai taste like that... I'm sorry. THAT is NOT shumai... Whatever your chef is making. PLEASE have him try it himself... Chop pork meat. NOT MINCE! Chop shrimp for taste. Essential ingredients oyster sauce, sugar, soy sauce, mince ginger, salt, pepper, dried scallops if you want to be fancy and fish roe on top. You can do chopped carrots to garnish or hell don't put any of that just a small shrimp on top! will suffice. Mix the meat well with Tapioca flour then BEAT the meat so it gives it more bounce instead of mince mush. All in all I will be coming here as it is convenient in hopes your shumai gets better...

    Excellent food. Beautiful presentation and mastery in preparation…read more The Peking duck was delicious. The fat was either removed or baked out. The dish was presented traditionally with the all the toppings. The duck sauce was also perfect. A beautiful dish that fulfilled the 3 categories of Chinese cooking: color, fragrance and taste. Our next favorite in presentation and taste is the pork belly with pumpkin. The presentation of the dish is eye popping. The pork belly is unmistakably cooked by a master chef. The texture is chewy (skin), soft (fat) and dense (meat). The sauce may look over the top, but it adds to the silkiness of the pieces. The "fat" is not greasy. It's puzzling how they rendered the grease. I grew up eating this dish and cook it too. This dish by far is the best I've had. Service is fantastic; helpful and attentive. This is our new favorite restaurant! Suggestion would be to eat at the restaurant for an incredible experience. Dishes came out is perfect order. It's been a while since we've experienced a classic Chinese restaurant.

The wonton soup was decent......wontons were very good but the broth however was a bit bland. Roast pork fried rice was pretty good.....a little dry and skimpy on the pork but the flavor was more than adequate. Hot and sour soup was really tasty with a good bit of spice. Scallion bubble pancake was very light and tasty. The Emperor cabbage appetizer was probably my favorite meal item.....crispy cabbage tossed in a peanuty garlic sauce with honey. It was served cold (which usually I'm not a big fan of, but this was an exception) and had a great flavor. Pork belly appetizer tasted very good but it wasn't crispy (which would have made it so much better) and the buns they were served with didn't taste completely fresh. Dan Dan noodles with ground beef was excellent.... they're served spicy and you can simply request the level of heat you prefer to fit your taste buds. Soup dumplings were of decent size and quite juicy...... unfortunately they lacked some flavor. Mongolian beef dish was excellent as was the kung pao chicken. Overall it was a pretty good meal but there was some room for improvement. The staff was very nice and it did have quite a cool "old school American Chinese restaurant" vibe from yesteryear.
