The staff is very business like and I always feel rushed to order, pay and get going. The food is good and usually comes quickly. I'll go back because it's one of the very few classic sit down Chinese restaurants left on Long Island. read more

Stopped in for lunch and was very underwhelmed. If you are going to list Hunan and Szechuan foods on your menu, you need to learn how to make them. All sauces were overly sweet and bland, no heat what so ever, and we asked for extra spicy! So we asked for chile paste, must be so old it also had zero heat. Will not be back. read more

Great place, love the wonton soup. Very far from China but very good food;) Our friends tell us the ice cream is great. I had an avocado roll and it was very fresh and tasty. The atmosphere and service is wonderful and friendly. I love coming here with my ting (that means family, I learned it from my fortune cookie). We all enjoy this place very much! read more

I ordered food from So Far So Good for the first time last night. I read the reviews about the food from the people on the site before ordering. I have found it impossible to find quality Chinese food since moving to Nassau county from Queens so I figured I would give this restaurant a try. To say I was disappointed would be an understatement. The food was horrible and tasteless. Additionally I got sick from the food and was up all night with severe stomach problems. One of the items i ordered, scallion pancakes, looked and tasted like fried cardboard! It contained no scallions at all? Don't know what it had in it but it was awful. I guess I will continue to have to go back to Queens to get quality Chinese food read more

Cute place. Haven't been able to find a Chinese sit down restaurant in a long time. I was happy to find that one still actually existed. They immediately bring to your table crispy noodles with duck sauce and mustard, and a pot of hot tea. I recommend the wonton soup for two. The broth is so delicious, not extra soy sauce needed. The soup is large enough to fill a small bowl twice, and the serving size is for two people. The soup has wontons, shrimp, mushroom, snow peas, carrots, pork and chicken. The reason for three stars? For dinner, I ordered broccoli with garlic sauce and I asked for it mild- it came out anything but mild and I wasn't able to eat more than a few pieces. read more

This restaruant has just reopened for take out. The food was fabulous as always and as usual the people there are extremely kind and attentive. This is definitely my go to place for Chinese food. read more

This restaurant used to be so good, I don't know happened to them. Maybe they change the chefs but the food is not consistent. I do not like a lot of Chinese restaurants nearby because they are not authentic Cantonese or Szechuan. Very disappointed, but still better than NJ though. read more

Great food, great atmosphere! I've been going for years. The shrimp and broccoli is really good, the sushi, and chow mein are on point!

Convenient location. The food was just okay. The wait staff were friendly and courteous. We went here for dinner on a Sunday and was seated immediately. We ordered the sesame chicken, sesame beef and beef and veg. Not sure if I would go back as the food wasn't anything to write home about. read more

I picked up takeout from this place and when I got home I found a surprise. As I was eating their chicken and white rice, I bit on a cigarette bud in the food. Was completely disgusted and threw up several times. Called up and they gave me a refund. I will never be going back their again and the food is also way overpriced. read more

So far so good! Lives up to its name. Never fails to disappoint. However, should so far so great because the food is always great.

Dishes, glasses, and utensils had greasy film. I ordered a spicy tuna roll for an app that was extremely fishy and hard; it definitely wasn't fresh. I had one piece and returned the roll and waitress was kind enough to take it off the bill. Chicken lomein didn't have much taste and needed a lot of soy sauce. I wouldn't return. read more

Always love this place. No matter what you get, never disappointed. Service is always great. Yummy tea and "chips" w duck sauce!

The best Chinese food in the area hands down. A Chinese restaurant you can actually dine at and it be great quality. Delivery is fast. They have also sushi on there very large extensive menu. Not cheap, but that's what you get for order not "take out" Chinese. Large quantities though I do have to say. Chicken corn soup and the chicken with snow peas and straw mushrooms in the white sauce are two personal favorites of mine. read more

My family and I have been coming here for 20+ years. This is hands down the best Chinese food on Long Island. The wonton soup is in a class all by itself. The portions are generous and the food always fresh, including the sushi. The service is friendly and attentive, and the prices are more than reasonable. Even though I moved about a half hour away, I still go to So Far So Good for my Chinese food. read more

A very good restraunt , a bit pricy but def worth it! Great Service, mostly is full capacity, but the food is certainly a wonder. One of the best Asian food I have tried read more

We ordered take out and the chicken was not cooked in either dish. We called and the lady told us that she talked to the chef and that's it's okay. She offered nothing else. I didnt order take out so that I had to cook it myself. Eewww so gross. I would post a picture but my yelp app isn't letting me. read more

Food is descent. Moderately priced. The waiter wasn't the best. He told me they couldn't make a change to a sushi roll, when in reality he could. Then didn't know what kind of fish was used. So I just decided to get orange chicken instead. I don't play mystery games with my fish. Would go back but would have to really wow me to make me a repeat customer. read more

So far not so good... While the fun and kitschy ambiance is an enjoyable setting in which to eat Chinese-American-take-out-food in, once you take a bite into the food you realize that you are eating overpriced mediocre Chinese-American-take-out-food. Why get my lazy butt off the sofa to go eat take-out food in a restaurant, when I can eat cheaper better quality take-out at home? I have to admit that while the tawdry milieu of this stereotypically Chinese restaurant is borderline tacky (or outlandishly tacky depending on your taste) and old school, I really enjoyed it. It's fun. I liked the red glow and the ornate adornments and the oriental themed ornaments. I felt like I was in a Jonh Hughes film eating across from the aquarium of parrot fishes as Long Duk Dong serves me my food amongst the sound of a gong. Dadadada-da-da-dun-dun-daa!! The food was very disappointing. I didn't have high expectations walking into the restaurant (it's a Chinese restaurant in LYNBROOK), but I did expect good flavorful food. One thing that didn't appear very promising was the excess of Caucasian diners and the lack of Asian diners. So far...Not Good. The complimentary jasmine teas were very welcomed in our table. The deep fried wonton strips were exiled to the remote corner. I ordered the the Moo Shu Duck ( for $11.25) which came with cold and dry tortilla-esque wrappers. Our waiter kindly constructed my moo shu wraps for me at our table. That was the highlight of the dish. The duck tasted like smoky mystery meat and had the texture of tenderized car tires. For those not in the know: these tenderized car tires were very rubbery and chewy, however edible.The meat was so bland and blah, that not even the salty sweet hoisin sauce or cabbage could have saved it. Not good. NOT GOOD AT ALL. Once again my bf ordered the better dish, the kung pao chicken. It had a touch a heat, the chicken was well cooked, and the flavors were good. It was better than my dish, but we had better kung pao chicken elsewhere. I was not very pleased with the food, and was even more upset by the price. While I wouldn't oppose to coming back to this restaurant again, I will pick the dishes that seems like the hardest to screw up. All in all, I've experienced better and greater. read more

Best Chinese food place in the area. The servings are pretty big and the food is very, very fresh.

More like so far so great! This place can hold an extremely large # of customers per table and can completely satisfy each and every one of them. It's got a wonderful scenery display and a gorgeous fish tank. I usually get this type of jumbo butterfly shrimp covered in this special sauce and bacon bits. It's crunchy, saucy and chewy all at once and the flavor and literally make you take a step back. Would definitely recommend! read more

The service is mainly the reason I have given such low stars. We were starving after some shopping in area and stopped in here for quick bite. We were seated immediately. We were ready to order immediately as we were starving and we saw many waitresses just walking around catering to all the other customers who had ordered and received food already. I had my menu folded my head up intending to catch their attention and I did. But they all ignored me. They kept running to table of people with food, filling their water asking if all is well. Finally after 15-20 minutes of being completely ignored, a waitress came. The wait time for our food was shorter than wait time to order and to get the bill. Then our food came and we were ready to pack the rest and go home. We kept waiting for the waitress to come to our table. I even flagged her down with my hand as she attends to other customers and she waived her hand in dismissal of me. Afterwards one waitress who observed all this came and I told I want to pack my food she said ok and went inside to call our waitress. But instead of our original waitress this waitress comes back and takes our food to the back to have it packed. Then again we sat waiting another 15-25 minutes for no reason. Apparently our original waitress decided without telling us to just ditch us and pass us to this other waitress just because she inquired about our face looking so upset. Finally the second waitress comes back with food and bill. And I tell her, don't leave I have credit card ready I don't want to wait another hour for your attention. I wonder if they were expecting any tip at all for such horrible service? I don't blame the second waitress. We were shoved onto her by the original waitress and she had no interest in serving us. I felt she was just being nice. Ok quick FYI on the food, it's very lightly flavored and was ok. Nothing I would drive out of my way for. There is a local Chinese take out on Hillside which is way better tasting. Adieu, adios , good bye I will never come back here to be mistreated again. We were the only brown people in the restaurant and the rest of customers were served quickly. read more

Best Chinese and sushi around. Fresh! Very fast delivery to Rockville Centre! Love it!

Not so far, but very much so good!!! Love this place! A wonderful option if you want to dine in for Chinese. Most places are takeout oriented, but this place has a nice dining area! read more

I've been ordering from this restaurant for many years. The food is generally good if not great. Yesterday I ordered one of my usual dishes for takeout. The food was virtually inedible. I called the restaurant to ask them why the food was not as usual. They didn't have an answer but told me they'd give me a 20% discount on my next order. In other words eat the garbage we made tonight and we'll save you $5 on the next order. I thought this was insulting,told them so and brought the food back to the restaurant for a refund which I received. At no time did they try to explain or justify the awful food. They seemed annoyed and bothered by my dissatisfaction. I'm sure there are other restaurants in town so for now it's So far So Bad. read more

Be aware!! I found a roach in my bag of chips. I returned it and all I was offered is to replace the chips with coke. I got my money back with a mean attitude. I will never ever go there again! read more

One of the best chinese restaurants in the area! Not overpriced, good service. The only down side is it could use a little upgrade on the decor. This place has been there for years and it shows! Maybe not a good place for a 1st date but if your not trying to impress and just looking for good chinese food go here..... read more

Love, Love, Love this restaurant! Been here on many occasions and I do not have one complaint about the food or the service. I have never ordered anything I didn't like and I especially am a huge fan of that big scorpion bowl drink for 2 they make. They are a bit pricey but the for the food they serve it is well worth it. read more

Apparently these guys have been around for a while, but I only started getting into it about 3 amyears ago.. Service is good, I usually get take out, it is very quick, wait is no longer than 10 mins at a non busy time of day . It's like a hit or miss sometimes with good food. Today I got some chicken and broccoli with white rice, good portion and very flavorful and tasty. Very much enjoying my meal. read more

Tip: Ask for the white sauce when you get shrimp with broccoli, fantastic! The noodles they serve here are pure delight. The staff is very professional. So Far So Good has been so far so good! read more

very good for lunch. there dinner im not a big fan of, for some reason the same food at dinner time doest taste as good there. overall nice atmosphere and decent food. we go back about every month or 2 to do a cute sit down place with okay food. its definitely not the best place in the world but overall not bad. read more

My family has been coming here for years. The owner knows my uncle by name. They are always friendly and accommodating. The food is always great. read more

Best Chinese food . Every Chinese restaurant I've tried food usually so oily and over fried everything . This restaurant better then $$$$ places I've been to . Very simple very friendly very good basic Chinese food and good sushi . Good drinks . Gets very busy so make a reservation. read more

This place has to be the best American-asian restaurant around. The food is always delicious, the service is friendly and the food comes out QUICK. Not scary quick, but in a very timely manor. There is a slight wait on a Saturday night, but most other nights there isnt. The wonton soup is awesome as well as the chicken and veggies, tofu and veggies and the egg rolls. Also the cocktails were on point and waiter was very nice and attentive. We come here almost everyweekend since we found out about this place and it never dissapoints! Also, if you call the person that answers the phone is always nice and not screaming rudely into the phone like other Chinese food places. They also understand English well and actually get the order correct. They are pleasant and don't just hang up on you once you place the order. You actually get a Thank You. The way a business should be run. read more

I have been going here for about ten years. It is definitely the best Chinese food around. I have never tried the Japanese stuff on the menu. The restaurant itself is pleasant, the service is really good, they deliver fast. My only complaint is that lately the lunches have been disappointing. I ordered the chicken with cashew nuts on the lunch menu, and the chicken was awful. Pieces of the chicken that should not be served were included. The cashews were not crunchy either. Just because lunch is cheaper, they shouldn't use ingredients that are unacceptable. I regret not sending the meal back, but I was in a hurry so I had it packed up, and it was equally as disappointing warmed up. read more

Though I am a city-boy at heart, I currently live in Lynbrook and commute to Manhattan daily. I usually spend most of my weekend in the city as well, but there are times when I don't feel like leaving my house, and when that happens, I turn to good ol' "So Far, So Good" for some yummy Chinese/Japanese food. They deliver very quickly and the food is always very fresh. Unlike some other Chinese places here on Long Island, this food is not swimming in grease and oil. They have the standard pseudo-Chinese dishes like General Tso's and Sesame Chicken, but they also have some more interesting dishes like Two-Flavor Duck and lots of vegetarian options. The food is good, the portions are generous and everything is reasonably priced. While the sushi here is not bad, I would much rather go to a restaurant that specializes in just sushi as they do more volume and have fresher fish. As far as the name goes, so far it's rung true for me as I've yet to be disappointed with anything I've ordered from the place. read more

Horrible customer loyalty. Always lying about their hours of operation. Be careful they really close at 9pm

Love this place! Staff is always super friendly. I love their avocado salad. I've been there tons of times and I will be a repeating customer :) read more

Ordered to go, took over an hour and when food arrived order was wrong. When I called woman was extremely rude accusing me of ordering the wrong food. Never again read more

This is a very good chinese restaurant. It is a nicely decorated, large room and it is very kid friendly. The price is also very reasonable. The food has been very good to excellent. Everything tastes very fresh and the sushi was good too. I agree with the prior post that the food is not greasy at all. They have lunch combinations where you get a soup and entree, and of course you get complimentary tea and noodles on the table! I have found the waiters to be attentive and efficient. read more
