Pretty good tasting food. The noodles were definitely good and the giant leek dumpling was too. Not a lot of seating inside, small counters on the side. To the owners of this place - I highly recommend that you change the cleaning product that you are using, or rinse it out more. The scent it leaves is that of a public bathroom. Which logically means clean but... we don't want to think about that while eating. read more

So happy they opened a second location was worried we'd lose this gem whenever the original owners retired. I always order the #6 chili wontons So amazingly tasty and hits the spot. Highly recommend as a grab and go. The flushing location is my go to but now I will probably visit here whenever I'm in the area. Meter parking outside (25 cents for 30 min, quarters only). read more

3.5 stars for the soft opening, with just so many items not available on the day we visited, it was hard to review this place as I was sad to not get what I came for. I went there excited to get fried dumplings, knowing the Flushing counterpart is famous for them (and I've frequented). But it was not available, with staff saying they didn't have. I also tried to order a side order of egg but that was not available either! So now turned around, I opted for the chili oil wontons and a pork wontons with soup. There's also not much seating available except 8 counter seats. No standard tables, it's a very small space. Room for improvement and I do like that I'm not fighting the lines of their Flushing location so I'll definitely return to see if they've improved. read more

I had high hopes for White Bear in Great Neck! Nice to not have to schlep all the way into downtown Flushing! But sadly, my expectations weren't met. I'll chalk it up to growing pains since they just opened 2 weeks ago! I truly hope they improve. On this visit, on a Friday at Noon, half of their already limited menu, wasn't available. Not sure what the problem was but their basic pan fried dumplings weren't even available! This is what I ordered: -- Wontons in Hot Oil ($18/20pcs): these were ok; considering that they were swimming in the hot oil, the hot oil didn't really seem to be spicy at all. Go figure! Definitely add some Sriracha if you want spicy! -- Dan Dan Noodles ($10): these were also just ok; again, not spicy and just lacking in flavor. No restrooms and limited stool seating; they can only seat 8 people at wall-facing counter seating. This is definitely a quick-bite or takeout place. But still, much nicer than their Flushing store, which is strictly takeout with no seating at all. So this is an improvement! lol Customer service was friendly and efficient. Dining area was clean. I'll give them some grace since they just opened. I plan to give them some time before a return visit, and hope that they improve. Looking forward to a full menu and bolder flavors! Welcome to the neighborhood and good luck! read more

This new location for White Bear is minimumlistic! BEAR bone place on the outside and the inside. Yes, they are open for business! There is only four stooges on the left and four on the right. Not comfortable; just eat and go; or just go and eat somewhere else. We decided to go eat at Firefighters Park since it was a nice day. Today half the menu wasn't available; something was not working right in the kitchen. I tried the bowl of Peking style noodles and some dumplings. Dumplings are marginally better. I would rate the bowl of noodles average. Weak in flavor. read more

Ordered takeout (just a few stools inside to sit). This is a no frills place that focuses on a few dishes, but they are very good! The leek and pork dumpling was excellent, juicy and a lot of flavor. The braised port with noodles was excellent, I could have eaten two of them. The braised pork tasted so good and the noodles were great. The wonton soup was great, best around in my opinion. Some items were not available, which is tough when the menu is small. Assume they will work out the kinks though. Great option for takeout, I believe this is an extension of a long running place in Flushing, so not surprised it's good. Give them a try! read more

I can't get enough of the wontons with chili oil and the Dan Dan noodles. Here at least 1x a week. Staff is super nice and I like that it's never crowded and quiet when I come and I can enjoy my meal at the counter. read more

Week 2 of White Bear being open in great neck Disappointing to see that more than half the menu is always unavailable. They should've just announced their debut as a soft opening. The first time I came was at 5pm and I saw a sign saying they closed because they sold out. The second time I came an hour after opening and only 4 of the 10+ products on the menu were available. Today, I came again at 6pm and only two products were available.. The food tastes great don't get me wrong, but very disappointing that they just are missing more than half their menu. They don't even make it obvious what's available. I overheard the cashier tell another customer "sold out" for four different items before the customer bursted "so what DO you have" In terms of waiting.. they're a lot slower than the flushing location. Expect to wait 20mins for your order if the store looks like my photos. Also the environment just feels kind of tense. It's dead silent and feels like everyone is a little miserable waiting. I think they should play some chill music inside I hope to update this to five stars when they eventually buy ingredients for the rest of their menu read more

I've had the wontons many times from their Flushing location- so glad they finally opened a White Bear on Long Island. I got 2 orders of the 20 piece wontons with chili oil, cabbage with pork pan fried dumplings, Taiwanese braised pork- 1 over noodle & 1 over rice. Everything was ready in 10 minutes. The guy who took my order was very friendly and helpful. Pretty pricey & portions were rather small but all the food was good. The wontons were flavorful and perfectly balanced with non-spicy chili oil, green onions & pickled mustard greens. Dumplings were crispy, juicy & greasy, braised pork was tender but oily & could use a little more seasoning- it was kind of bland, egg didn't have any soy sauce flavor and the noodle supposed to come with bok choy as pictured- came with pickled radish instead. I would definitely come back again for the dumplings & wontons :) read more

Tried the braised pork with noodles and wontons. The braised pork sauce was pretty good but the noodles were a little too soft. The wontons in spicy sauce were also nice but the sauce wasn't as flavorful as I would like. read more

This is not a sit down place. Food is average. Convenient to order wontons and noodles on the go. Service is friendly. Dan Dan noodles should be more Al dente and less salty. read more

One thing to note is that this is less of a "restaurant" vibe and more of a takeout space with some counter-like seating, but the food was FANTASTIC at an unbeatable price. Staff was friendly, and place was quiet around 8pm on a weekday. Food came out quickly. I see a lot of reviews raving about the dumplings which are best eaten quickly right after you get them because they're so deliciously crispy. I am also a fan of the Taiwanese Braised Pork over Noodle, which came with bean sprouts (instead of bok choy) and was juicy. Overall, would recommend for authentic Taiwanese in Great Neck on the go, I'll be back to eat some more. read more

We ate in this time to try out the pan fried dumplings and they were done perfectly! Crispy outside and juicy inside! Taiwanese braised pork was very authentic and delicious. Of course I had to order my favorite wontons with spicy sauce. The service was prompt and friendly. At 7pm on a Monday night, there were plenty of seats. This is going to be a regular place for us for sure read more

I've had White Bear before in Flushing, but glad to see they opened another location in Great Neck! They have a pretty simple menu, they're known for their spicy wontons so that's what I got. I also got their Taiwanese braised pork over rice. I enjoyed both! read more

Glad to have a White Bear location away from busy Flushing. Go to item is #8 (20 pc) Wonton w. Chili oil sauce.

White Bear #6! I thought I would never have this again after my job near Flushing ended. But now I am saved! I can now order from the Great Neck location in Great Neck! The #6 just as good as the Flushing location in my opinion! White Bear #6 lives! read more

Came in on a Saturday afternoon and practically the whole menu was sold out. Thankfully the chilli oil wontons (what made them famous in flushing) is still available and it was definitely yummy. Brings back memories! read more

I was very excited to try this place. I did not look at the menu before hand but I did watch the video on Newsday TV about the restaurant's opening and went to give it a try. I eagerly approached the order line and asked what they had that was vegetarian or non-pork. To my sadness, the lady told me nothing. All items have pork. I was pretty surprised considering its location in Great Neck. To my disappointment and sadness, I left without trying an item. I hope that they will offer a chicken, beef, shrimp, or vegetarian option for their customers in the near future as I would love to give the place a try. I'm giving it a low rating because of the menu options but am including two stars as the lady who helped me was polite and friendly. read more

Dan Dan noodles and fried wontons. Omg. I love this place. Never disappoints. So simple yet sooooo good

Nice addition to Great Neck. Everyone raves about the Number 6. And for good reason. Try it, you'll love it.

Just like the one in flushing but much closer now. Cannot go wrong with the wontons. Just wished it was a little spicier!

The #6 dumplings may just be the best single food item I've ever eaten. Anywhere. Worth a drive from anywhere, these dumplings will ruin you for other dumplings. They're crack on a fork! read more

Not quite the same as the original restaurant, but there's still hope they'll improve. Order both type of wonton the skin is way too thick, though their dumplings are actually better. Both the braised pork and Dan Dan noodles were pretty good will definitely order them again. read more

Wait time is long and there is only one person in the register and she goes back and forth between the register and the kitchen! I ordered 2 soup but only gave me 1! Then returned with something different from the original wonton soup! The broth is not clear and tasted different! read more

Great noodles and dumplings. Had the Dan Dan noodles and pork dumplings. Delicious. Will definitely be back.

Dumpling wrapper was too thick so it ended up being doughy and unpleasant to eat after the third dumpling. The filling is seasoned well, however. The beef noodle soup needed more seasoning and the spices didn't come through as much. The noodles were way too soft with no bounce or pleasant texture. Hope it was just a one-off in terms of doughy wrapper and soft noodles. read more

Love this place! Such good, affordable food. I called to order pick-up and it was ready for me right when I got there 10 minutes later. When they first opened, they had a limited menu. Back then, a staff member explained that something was broken. Now as of Jan 2026, they seem to have fixed everything. Don't judge them off of that in other reviews! I would love this gem to stay in Great Neck. read more

This restaurant is not ready for prime time. It's being run by amateurs. A lemonade stand is more efficient. I would give them 6 months to 1 year due probably to low overhead and low staffing cost. It is mostly a take-out establishment. read more

devoured a 10 pack in roughly 8 minutes. if you like chili wontons, this is the place to go...albeit no seating so take it to go. read more
