We were a party of 6 and none of us liked the food. The fried wonton strips were extremely greasy. The meat was scarce in every dish. The chicken and broccoli was the worst I have ever tasted. read more

I went here to celebrate a friend's birthday. It was the first time in decades that I went to a sit down Chinese restaurant. This place really took me back, They put the most delicious noodles on the table for dipping in duck sauce and hot mustard. I must have eaten an entire bowl by myself. The food here is pricey for Chinese food, but you do get what you pay for. Your best bet is to get the combination meals, which come with very good wonton soup, a massive egg roll the likes of which I've never seen, and your main course with rice of your choice. I had the mu shu pork, which I'd never seen in a combination offering anywhere else. It came with pancakes and the best plum sauce ever on the side. Portion sizes were decent. I ended up taking a lot home because I loaded up on those noodles! Service was excellent. Hot tea and iced water were replenished quickly. Paper napkins were surprising in such a nice place. I'd go back again if in the area. read more

I just Left there with my family and will NEVER return. I have patronized this establishment for quite a while, in person and ordering takeout. While eating I noticed that the staff was checking on every table except ours . When we were finished eating and had left overs the waiter bought containers to us I had just saw him bag the table beside us food . They was giving RACIST VIBEZ no other way to put it . Will not be returning especially its not like the foods the best I ever had. read more

Decent food and drinks, but I kind of felt gypped when I ordered the "perfect match" dinner special.. 2 weak drinks, ONE rib each, ONE piece of crab rangoon, one lobster roll(that tasted super fishy ), general tso's chicken/shrimp, and pepper steak(very tender and tasty) for $58. Oh yea, and 1 scoop of ice cream each. We ended up ordering a Long Island iced tea and it was a lot better than the original drinks that came with our meal. Regardless of that it was decent place and atmosphere for a local date. I'll go again but maybe I'll take the time to order separate meals and appetizers off the menu, instead of getting a so called "special". read more

So Far So Good - Chinese Near Me - Lynbrook, New York

Went to pick up my take out order on 3/10/2020, I walked into the restaurant and it was completely empty, even the take out was dead! I used the restroom while I was waiting for my order. The bathroom was in same old dilapidated condition it was always in. Considering what is going on in this day and age, you would think they would take whatever precautions necessary. When I got home to unpack my order, they got it wrong, the food quality wasn't even mediocre. I will not frequent this restaurant anymore. It's a shame because it used to be the best game in town. NOT ANYMORE! read more

Not the same place it was food is less the avarage at best we complained to waiter that lemon chicken was hard as a rock he said sometimes it happens!! Fried rice is oily and salty!! so dissapointing!! WE WILL NOT BE GOINNG BACK AFTER SO MANY YEARS. read more

I was in there yesterday. I ordered 8 fried wings, 2 vegetable egg rolls and shrimp fried rice. The rice was really good. The egg rolls were too oily to consume...for me, my husband ate them. The wings...here's where it goes way down hill. They were fried within an inch of their lives. I almost couldn't bite them. There were supposed to be 8 wings in the order but they cut each wing into its 3 parts and counted them as individual wings. I ended up with 10 little pieces of wings...it was 3 1/2 wings at best. I was def. cheated. The cost of wings is too high to get cheated on top of that! Not likely to return. read more

EXTREMELY RUDE COSTUMER SERVICE! I am disgusted at how mean and rude the lady was when I tried placing an order for delivery. I was very nice and kindly asked if I could order plain fried rice with my order. She basically yelled at me and told me no. She was rushing me and rudely asked if I "wanted it or no". I always order pick up from here and I NEVER HAD A PROBLEM placing my usual order. They lost a couple customers and will never order from here again. I'm in disbelief. I would love to speak to a manager about their horrible employee on the phone! read more

Food can be good in the store. But delivery food is unreliable. When you order and they tell you 45 minutes it can be 10 minutes or 75. At 75 minutes it'll be cold more obviously greasy read more

I told them in writing " no sesame seed because of an allergy". How hard is it to follow basic instructions, especially since it is related to a life threatening allergy. read more

If you're looking for good Chinese food in Long Island, this is one of your top choices. While I love PF Chang's, sometimes I want more of your typical take-out food. That's when I go here. I've only ever ordered from here for delivery (which has never been a problem), but I recently dined at the actual restaurant and had a decent time. It was a Thursday night and it wasn't all that crowded, so that was a plus. Others have mentioned that the servers tend to seem irritated and that is true. When my boyfriend and I both decided to just have water, the waiter seemed annoyed that we weren't ordering some sort of overpriced soft drink. He seemed a little abrupt in general and while he asked us if we wanted more of those noodles with the duck sauce (we did), he again said "uh huh" as if he pegged us as cheapskates. read more

Awesome place! It is very much like the old style Chinese Restaurant. The food is very good.

Had lunch here today with my sisters. Cute little hole in the wall sort of joint, but it was massive and there are tons of tables. The waitstaff were helpful and attentive. But I think this place is insanely overpriced. I very much enjoyed everything I tried, but I don't think I'd go back because there are many places just as good if not better, at a more affordable price. What I sampled: Wonton soup, good and not too salty. Scallion pancakes, also good, super hot and crunchy. Egg roll, ehh, the 3 of us split one, and I'm glad we did, because I could barely finish the piece I had. Shrimp with sesame sauce, decent. The sauce was delicious but I got 4 shrimp for over $10 as a lunch special. That is unreasonable to me. Jani in Wantagh gets you more food for half the price, so I was shocked. As good as the service is here, I'd go somewhere else and save myself a few bucks, especially for greasy chinese food. read more

I've been here a ridiculous amount of times in the last few years. Their portions are always large and full of flavor. They say they don't use MSG and I've never gotten a headache after eating here, so I believe them. Their sushi rolls are HUGE! A great price for a great meal. read more

The simple Chinese family restaurant is a dying breed on Western Long Island. They've given way to the deluge of asian-fusion restaurants like Monsoon, Ruby's or Thom Thom; or they've got to compete with the ubiquitous, nameless takeout joints that be-speckle the map of Nassau County like a 14 year old's pock-marked face. That said, "So Far, So Good" does a wonderful job of delivering Amer-Asian cuisine in a cloth tabled establishment. Don't get me wrong, I love take out, but to sit in a restaurant and order piles of Cold Noodles w/Sesame Sauce or Wontons in Sesame Sauce, followed by dishes ranging from the everyday General Tso or Shredded Beef Szechuan to authentic Japanese Sashimi is a godsend. The service is always friendly, the tea is always hot and the prices are always reasonable. In fact, the worst thing one could say about So Far, So Good is that their popularity can make getting a table a nightmare. Enjoy! read more

The food was terrible. I normally don't leave reviews good or bad but my husband and i ended up wasting 65 dollars on the decision to order from here. He specifically asked for extra crispy on the chicken and repeated himself to make sure they heard him and in turn got the complete opposite. The Chicken was so under cooked it looked like dough. The dumplings tasted like whatever they were steamed in. I just hope they read this and fix whatever went wrong here read more

Rarely give 5 stars unless the second time beats the first experience which did. Went on Sunday around 6pm. Place was a FULL HOUSE. I was a 2 person party so we managed to get seating quickly. Like the first time, fried noodles with dipping sauces and hot tea served immediately once seated. We were seated on the other side (smaller section) of the restaurant which consisted of about 10 tables. One waiter was in charge of our seating area! And he managed to deliver EXCEPTIONAL service to everyone including us. I watched how fast and attentive he was. Amazing. And once we ordered our food which was delicious it was served in 10 mins! Remember it was a FULL HOUSE. There was a miscommunication with one of our orders but he was apologetic and correct order came well presented in about 5 or so. Wow! I would totally recommend you to come here if you want fast, well presented, well portioned, FRESH, reasonably priced, authentic Chinese food plus a great customer service experience ! read more

Ordered 3 chicken entrees and pork dumplings. Entrees had hardly any chicken and dumplings were all dough. This is the place to go if you only want rice, noodles and dough. Now we remember why we stopped going here. We will stick with Basil Leaf in Baldwin. read more

Now usually I am never one to write a review about a place since I feel I can have a different experience compared to the next person but my visit with So Far So Good today was nowhere near good. To start the food lacked flavor my wife ordered steamed dumplings and when she got it the dough was to thick and barely any filling. I took a bite as well and had a similar experience where I was chewing dough. Some friends also said the food tasted dry or felt it wasn't seasoned properly. My wife had asked for a little sauce on my daughter's chicken and broccoli and what we got was cooked chicken with no sauce. When dropping off utensils and such the waiter dropped the items either in front of you or in the plate. He also made comments to one of our party members when he asked if he could get a little extra rice that what was given was enough but maybe not enough for him (he was of Spanish descent.) At the end of the meal, we got a bill and since we had a big party, I assumed that gratuity was included to account for a big party, but it wasn't. That I will take full blame for. But instead of the staff informing me that gratuity wasn't included 1 on 1 and trying to resolve it civilly the waiter and waitress (who never serviced us) came over and practically yelled at us for not tipping, loud enough for other tables that were eating to hear it. The waiter and waitress handed me back the bill with the money to cover it and said, "usually for party this big we charge 25-30% tip but I guess you Americans only do 15%." Stay away from this place at all costs. Not worth it and there are better options in the area. read more

Disappointed and disrespectful. First time eating here and would never do it again. Worst part is at the end of the review! Came here for a group lunch with about 10 people. From the start the servers were very rude. Rushing people to order, aggressively serving our food just dropping things anywhere on the table, reaching over people with no regard to personal space, and just being rude in general making disrespectful comments. The food was mediocre at best. I got crab Rangoon, chicken wings, and general tso chicken and my girlfriend got chung fun shrimp noodles and everything was so bland. Everyone at the table basically said the same thing in regards to the food being bland and lacking flavor. Definitely can find better food at a smaller Chinese restaurant. At the end of the meal my friend was given the bill and paid. They took the money with the bill and left and not even a minute later the server and another random worker storms back making a huge scene saying the tip amount was to little. Generally when you eat out in a large group tip is automatically included so that's what we assumed. But that wasn't the case and instead of simply asking if this was the right amount for the tip they came back and attacked my friend screaming "how could you leave such a small tip you have a big party and only leave this tip" and the other random lady came saying "you're supposed to pay 20-30% tip when you have a big party, but you Americans only leave 15% of less you can't leave this little bit of tip. ". And they did this loud enough for everyone in the restaurant to turn around and hear. You can imagine how terrible that might have felt. A small miscommunication turned into this huge commotion for no reason at all. Just terrible. read more

Like a fine wine, So Far So Good gets better as the years go on. My first memory of this restaurant was their annual "Breakfast with Santa." Yes, breakfast at a Chinese Restaurant. For a ten year old, scrambled eggs mixed with ONIONS, wasn't one I liked and obviously wasn't one I will ever forget. That was 20 years ago. They have come a long way since the 90's. This is one of the few places I will actually eat Chinese food. From the moment you walk in, you are greeted and treated to great service. The waiters and waitresses are beyond friendly and the food is really good. My favorite thing about this place is they have a sushi menu. And GOOD sushi menu to boot! They always have special rolls, and it is always fresh. I usually do get the sushi here because Chinese isn't my favorite cuisine. My Dad loves Chinese, so we can actually come here and please both of our palates. They start you off with delicious Chinese noodles and not the ones you get in the wax paper bag from the corner take-out place. These are big, fried to perfection to be double-dipped and dipped again in duck sauce! My usual sushi choice is the Dragon Roll which is a California Roll, wrapped in eel and avocado drizzled with a special sauce. It's huge too! The house salad with ginger dressing and miso soup are also excellent. Tastes just like it does at my favorite sushi joint. If I am feeling like Chinese, my favorites are Lo-Mein, Shrimp with Lobster Sauce (my Dad's personal fav too,) spare ribs. Sometimes I am aiming for the lighter side, and go for chicken and string beans (sauce on the side) or steamed chicken and broccoli. And, I love their giant fish tank. I could sit there all night watching them swim around. Soooooo relaxing. read more

So Far, So Good is an excellent place to get Delicious Chinese food or fresh, tasty Sushi or rolls. The soups are nicely flavored and not too salty or overly spiced.

While this place is clean and friendly, the food is awful. Caught in a time warp from the 1970s, time has passed this place by. There are so many more authentic and better chinese options in Queens and Northern Nassau that you should not settle for a place where the only food that was served that was edible was the mustard. So Far NO GOOD!!! read more

I've grown up on Chinese food - at least the American New York kind. This place was okay. If someone was going there, I wouldn't tell them not to. But, I wouldn't recommend it. We had a ton of food: spare ribs, young chow fried rice, shrimp and broccoli, egg rolls, and a bunch of other dishes. The fried rice and chicken and eggplant were pretty good. The rest was okay. read more

Consistently incredible Chinese food. I can't find any other restaurant with anywhere close to as delicious food. Staff is always attentive when dining in, orders are made quick and the dining room is spaces out nicely so you can enjoy your company comfortably. Takeout is also consistent and high quality. This place is so good it has made it impossible to eat Chinese anywhere else. Also, the combination dinner is great if you don't have a large appetite and want a little bit of everything for a decent price. Try the sesame chicken you won't be disappointed! read more

This place is awful. They forget at least one thing every time, sushi's overpriced, stuff comes out undercooked, the chicken's usually dry, vegetables come out undercooked. and the lady with the funny voice has a bad attitude she interrupted me and then they forgot my mothers whole order When I called to get her food they had me on hold forever I hope this place shuts down read more

Last night picked up food for takeout. Went home and plated the food for my family. On the General Tsos chicken there was a small roach, you could see the legs and antennas. When I looked further there was a half of a roach's body stuck to another piece of chicken. We couldn't eat any of the other food it was so disgusting. Called the restaurant and they apologized and offered a credit but who could ever eat there again. Now I know restaurants have a problem with vermin but to actually see it in your food? Obviously this restaurant does not take hygiene and cleanliness seriously. Please check your food if you still want to eat there after reading this review. read more

Frequent takeout. Eat in pretty dang good. Of course theres better in the city or at some distance but just fine for Xmas eve or Xmas day. About as good as you can expect in suburban Chinese dining. read more

The quality has gone down and down and down in this place. Nothing is good anymore not the spare ribs not even the eggrolls. The hot and sour soup is like glue and everything tastes like junk. Don't know what happened or why they let this place go downhill but it was the last decent place around. Now it is one of 100 places that just really stink. They are even worse than most of the takeout places around and they really stink. Unfortunately the closest place for a good Chinese food is now in Little neck or Flushing. These guys held on but I guess they must've just given up or given up the ghost because everything now tastes read more

This is pretty much the only Chinese restaurant I eat it because they are consistent and clean. The Sesame chicken is awesome, we love the boneless spare ribs too but the only downfall with those is they don't put sauce, into that is the only reason I am giving the 4 stars! Otherwise, strongly recommend! read more

Food has better ingredients and it reflects in the taste and the care in preparing the dishes. The dinning room is large very nicely decorated . Nothing as elegant for a Oriental Restaurant in in a 10 mile area. read more

The ambiance in the restaurant is amazing! Very relaxing and at-home. I ordered the lunch special which was extremely generous in portion size. I also got a soup, rice, fried noodles and duck sauce, and teabag for after lunch! I'm a tea lover , so they stole my heart with that one. The customer service was also exceptional. I mistakenly ordered chow mein instead of chow fun and even though the women seemed a bit irritated with me, they still exchanged it! I was very appreciative of that. The wontons I had in my soup were made from scratch and I could taste the richness in the broth. House made duck sauce also, fabulous. Lo mein was on point as well with the flavors and veggies. I overheard a man speaking with the hostess on his way out, and he mentioned he'd been coming here since he was 12, about 40 years! It's pretty noteworthy that they have regular customers, most of whom I've witnessed to be kind of older. The food and service definitely speak for themselves. read more
