I heard about someplace in Huntington that supposedly has a decent Dim Sum. Also, is Hong Kong Seafood House, on Old Country Road worth visiting??? Thanks! Thu Mar 18 10:42:51 -0800 2004 0 KELVINATOR 1 1344102 The place in Huntington, East Buffet, is an all-you-can eat buffet with pretty high-quality food (at least for a buffet). They do have a number of dim sum items which are decent. I recommend Fortune Wheel, in Levittown, for authentic Cantonese fare. It's on Hempstead Tpke in a mall. Their food is fresh and good, and they do dim sum on weekends. Thu Mar 18 11:43:11 -0800 2004 1344100 0 dude 2 1344106 I guess it's Fortune Wheel then, since I never met a chinese buffet I could tolerate. Not to be a snoot about it or anything... My ex is a buffet maven, and I got dragged to way too many of them...a lifetimes worth. But on the other hand, I have heard good things about East/West elsewhere. But what about H/K/S House in Plainview? I drove by there the other day and their lot was teeming with what appeared to be hungry Asians.... Hmmm? Thu Mar 18 13:54:05 -0800 2004 1344102 0 KELVINATOR 3 1344107 never tried, nor have I heard any scuttlebutt on this board. I think I hear someone volunteering to be a taste-tester? Thu Mar 18 14:26:02 -0800 2004 1344106 0 dude 4 1344156 By God, I'll do it! Actually, I spoke with someone this past weekend who regularly eats at both Fortune Wheel and HK Seafood House. He claimed that although FW is superior, HKSH comes in a close secound. Since he's a fairly regular visitor to the Flushing scene, his opinion is probably valid. Mon Mar 22 12:18:36 -0800 2004 1344107 0 KELVINATOR 3 1344128 Hong Kong Seafood House is a real winner, both for dim sum and for their regular menu. The first time we were there, I ordered by pointing to something on its way to another table, and we loved it. Fri Mar 19 20:46:45 -0800 2004 1344106 0 Josh Mittleman 4 1344133 GREAT! Thanks for the positive feedback. I suspected as much, judging from the clientele... I'm heading over there ASAP! Sat Mar 20 09:59:20 -0800 2004 1344128 0 KELVINATOR 4 1344384 What is a good tme to go for dim sum on a Saturday? Any dishs not to be missed? Thnaks Wed Apr 07 08:27:34 -0700 2004 1344128 0 jerick 4 1344664 I was there on Monday for lunch, and it's just as wonderful as always. I had dim sum and a noodle dish: shiu mai, pea-leaf dumplings (with shrimp, very wonderful), roast pork buns, perhaps the best sticky rice I've ever eaten, and definitely the best Singapore rice noodles I've ever eaten. It's on Old Country Rd. in Plainview, just west of the Seaford Oyster Bay Parkway. Has anyone tried the barbeque place next door? It looks intriguing. Thu Apr 29 12:06:25 -0700 2004 1344128 0 Josh Mittleman 5 1346733 I had lunch today at HK Seafood House, and ordered the Singapore rice noodles on your recomendation. I've never had these before - so I have no idea if they were good or not - so I am curious, what you found so great about them. I thought they were very dry. I just didn't get them - everything else was delicious. Tue Aug 24 16:54:56 -0700 2004 1344664 0 jerick 1 1344103 The best Chinese restaurant in Nassau or Suffolk Counties strangely enough, imho, is a buffet; East on Rte 110. The others two that I held in esteem , again, imho, The Orient in Bethpage and Fortune Wheel are on a downhill alert. Thu Mar 18 12:19:06 -0800 2004 1344100 0 Bud 2 1344105 I agree that the Orient has gone downhill- especially in service. However,The Fortune Wheel- is just as good as ever. Do not be misled by the construction going on around Nassau Mall. Thu Mar 18 13:33:28 -0800 2004 1344103 0 eileen 1 1344143 Go there. A high quality place, fine food, willing staff, moderately priced.Dim sum from carts Sat. and Sun, made to order during the week. Sun Mar 21 11:41:18 -0800 2004 1344100 0 Odyssey 2 1346004 We had dinner at Hong Kong Seafood this weekend, and it is still splendid: Excellent dim sum, to start. We also had a special, soft shell crabs with chili salt. They turned out to be lightly battered & fried, which is normally not something we'd enjoy; but this was simply too good to stop eating. Seafood panfried noodles were also excellent, and the whole meal was under $30. Wed Jul 14 16:01:17 -0700 2004 1344143 0 Josh Mittleman 1 1344481 Try the Orient in Bethpage 623 BethpageRd, 516-822-1010 but forget the menu which is deceptively boring. Order the specials,roast duck, salt and pepper shrimp or ask the owner to recommend Wed Apr 14 18:30:15 -0700 2004 1344100 0 Ron
