Anything Chowish near MacArthur Airport Islip/Bohemia?

[sbp]

Anything interesting? Any cuisine.

I can tell you one thing -- the area within a 3 mile radius of the airport is EMPTY. There are two diners, and that seems to be about it.

There's a new-ish place called Mama Mia's that's on Vets Hwy. in an office building less than a mile from the airport entrance, near the Hilton Garden Inn. Years ago, it was Courtyard Cafe and then it became a steakhouse. Just noticed it the other day. Anyway, here's a link: www.mamamiasristorante.com

In the Islandia shopping center there is a tiny Thai restaurant that Joan Remnick of Newsday has given excellent reviews to -- I've been there, and the food is good. Since everything is made from scratch, the wait for the food can be long. I think it is called Thai Angel.
Same shopping center, there is an okay Italian restaurant with HUGE portions. Each entree comes with a descent salad.

Is the Thai place still open? I went looking for it the other day and couldn't find it. I thought it was in the shopping center where Dave and Busters is located.

Thai Angel is located sort of behind Dave & Busters- right next to the Radio Shack. Thanks to the board for the tip BTW. Was there last night and they made me an of the menu Duck Panang that was pretty good. Still wondering about the fried Spring Rolls though.

I guess that means no.

Not right near, all I can think of is diners and hotel restaurants. And bars and strip clubs. Do you have transportation?

[sbp]

Yeah, I live in Suffolk County, just need to be there tonight, thought I'd see if there were any South American, Jamaican, etc. around.

Patchogue Village has lots and lots of authentic South American, from decent takeout to upscale. There's a good Turkish place in Medford on 112. It's all only about 10 or 15 minutes away. There's a BBQ place in the village too that people tell me is great. Let me dig up the exact info.

Here's the BBQ http://www.bobbique.com/betaindex.htm
Here's the upscale (I've been there, very nice) http://www.chachamagrill.com/
Here are the other Spanish, don't know how late they're open http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&hs=vpX&q=patchogue+restaurants+spanish&btnG=Search&aq=f&oq=&aqi=
And there's a Thai I've heard about, but not that knowledgable about that cuisine

Oh and just as close, Farmingville has a few Portugese restaurants, if you want a quick bite in a bar type atmosphere where the food is authentic and delicious, I like Ole http://maps.google.com/maps/place?oe=...
Sorry so late, hope you're not on your way already!

Thanks. Nothing really local. I'll probably hit Brentwood or something like that.

Just returned and I must say Ole in Farmingville totally rocks. Any place you barely hear English spoken...
