Teng's Restaurant

The rice noodles are great. Awesome presentation as well. Nothing better than a hot bowl of noodle soup on a cold winter day. The skewers are also good. But we found the stinky tofu way too salty and the soupy dumplings are only so so. I did love that they have the tea pot on a warmer to keep the tea hot. This place did not hold back on spending on decor. That's not usually something you can say for a Chinese restaurant. The inside looks like a Chinese garden, with Chinese style roof and lantern lights all around. They even have Chinese style wooden chairs. In terms of service, I guess this place is getting popular from the great reviews. The wait staff are quite busy and it took a long time to get them to close us out. I just feel bad because there are people waiting for tables and we were just sitting there , done eating and doing nothing, just waiting to get someone to close us out. And yes, we did use the call button.

Place is a Gem. Family owned and operated, the most kindest and full of hospitality. Food is Fresh and Amazing they truly care about what you like not what they want to sell you. I love eating here with Friends and with Family. Hakka chili chicken, Crispy beef, Beisel Chicken and beef, Chefs special fried rice MUST TRY THEM ALL....

Very satisfied that there is finally an authentic Halal Chinese Restaurant on Long Island. Not only is it Chinese, they have items on the menu that your usual Chinese place doesn't have. We had the Hakka Chilli Chicken which was very different on our palate. Took a minute to get the taste right away, but once it hit it was very pleasant. Beef and Broccoli was well portioned and we went home fully satisfied knowing that we don't have to travel all the way to Queens to have Halal Chinese.

Hands down, I think the best halal hakka / Chinese restaurant on Long Island, NY. Since this was my first time ordering from here, I wanted to try everything! So I definitely went overboard with my order, however, WORTH IT! I ordered chicken sweet corn soup, steamed chicken dumplings, Sichuan chicken dumplings, hakka chicken wings, chicken fried rice, chicken hakka noodles, Chilli beef, and orange chicken. I honestly can't remember the last time I was so satisfied with a meal. Every single item was incredible, fresh, and tasted amazing. We all wanted a legit halal Chinese place on Long Island, NY. Guess what? We got it. This is it. Sure, it's not your traditional Chinese, most dishes have a twist of hakka, however, there are plenty of dishes that are traditional Chinese. And best part? You're not paying Long Island prices! All items were very fairly priced and comparable to the prices of Fatima's Halal in Astoria, NY (currently closed) or Halal Kitchen in Maspeth, NY. Taste wise, I think this was much better. If you want to compare this to other hakka Chinese places, I would think Sagar Chinese and New Chili and Curry come to mind. And in my honest opinion, this blows them out of the water. I am not even going to mention the 2 other halal Chinese places that opened up on Long Island, as they definitely need to improve their quality and taste if they want to compete with Teng's. Quick overview of their food: - Chicken sweet corn soup: Perfectly seasoned and made. It tasted very fresh. They also give you sauces on the side, if you want to spice it up. - Steamed chicken dumplings: So, I like the momos from Momo Crave. These momos are not like those. They are from a different region. So for Chinese dumplings, these are good. However, if there was one thing I felt that they could probably improve upon, it would probably have to be their dumplings, but again, they were good, just not great as everything else was. - Sichuan chicken dumplings: My wife wasn't a huge fan of this but I love me some peanut sauce! That is what this was. Regular momos, in Sichuan peanut sauce! I enjoyed it. - Hakka chicken wings: Incredible! Perfectly cooked and coated with the hakka sauce. I really loved this one. Chicken fried rice: Fresh, perfectly made. The flavor profile was all there. Not too much, not too little. They were amazing. Oh and unlike some other halal hakka places, they did not use day old rice. Again, it was fresh and the proportions of all the ingredients was perfectly balanced. - Chicken hakka noodles - Tasted very close to traditional lo mein. It was really good. - Chilli beef: Probably the best chili beef I've had, ever. The proportions of the chili to beef and onions was perfect. They didn't just put a pound of green chilies in there and called it 'chili' beef, no. They made it to perfection. The beef was perfectly tender, yet crispy on the outside. The flavor was perfectly balanced. Not too spicy or salty, but actually very flavorful. You could taste the love that it was made with. - Orange chicken: Same as the chili beef. Probably one of the best I've ever had. The sauce was perfect. Not too sweet and not bland. Just enough to let the orange flavor shine, without tasting like you're eating an orange jam. It was truly magnificent. I am not sure why most other restaurants make their orange flavor so sweet and overpowering. They probably just get the generic orange sauce from Restaurant Depot and call it a day. Teng's orange chicken seemed like they took their time in making this amazing sauce. The balance was great and again, as with all their other food. It was very flavorful. I think Teng's Restaurant will be a huge success on Long Island, NY - as long as they are able to maintain this type of quality and taste. I am so happy that I don't have to go all the way to Maspeth or Astoria to get decent halal Chinese anymore. This is probably the best halal hakka/Chinese option around!
