Teng's Restaurant

A Night Back at TENGS – A Long Overdue Review It’s been a while since I last wrote a review for TENGS—maybe a couple of years, if I’m being honest. But after tonight’s experience, I knew I had to share the story. From the moment we stepped in, it felt like coming home to something familiar yet refreshed. The first thing we noticed? The entrance. If you’ve been to TENGS in the past, you’ll remember the old setup—one door facing a busy road that let in all the cold air during the winter months. That draft used to sneak in and mess with the vibe. Not anymore. They’ve completely reworked the entrance with a double-door setup, boxing it out so the cold stays where it belongs—outside. Small change, big difference. Now let’s talk about the space—because wow, they’ve upgraded! The seating has expanded, and it’s no longer a toss-up on whether you’ll get a table. There’s room to breathe, room to enjoy, and honestly, it makes the whole dining experience that much more comfortable. Now, to the real heart of this story—the food. We ordered orange chicken, sesame chicken, General Tso’s chicken, Hakka noodles with chicken, and two soups—egg drop and wonton. For appetizers, we went in with the beef momos and let me just say: every bite had something to say. The fried rice? Let me start there. You’ll see it in the video—the way the translucent onion pieces glisten, the perfectly fluffy grains, and the savory flavor that didn’t need a drop of duck sauce. That rice could stand on its own. It was crunchy in just the right places and soft where it mattered. Simply put: a masterclass in balance. The sesame chicken was next level—juicy, sticky, and absolutely succulent. Each piece was coated just right, not overly sweet, not too crispy, just that perfect, addictive texture and flavor. The orange chicken followed suit, with a zesty tang and crispy exterior that delivered a punch of citrus warmth in every bite. And then came the General Tso’s—a dish that TENGS never misses with. It was bold, savory, and gave that familiar, comforting hit of spice that lingers just enough to keep you coming back. The Hakka noodles with chicken had that delicious smoky wok flavor—honestly, one of the best versions I’ve had. It paired beautifully with everything else on the table and helped cool down the stronger flavors while still holding its own. Let’s not forget the momos—steamed just right, packed with tender beef and rich seasoning. A true highlight that disappeared way too fast. And the soups? Silky smooth. The egg drop was rich and soothing, and the wonton had the perfect balance of warmth and heartiness. Honestly, they could bottle that broth and sell it—I’d buy. For a party of four, we were more than full, and we still had leftovers. The portions? Generous. Abundant. Worth every penny. The staff was, as always, friendly and efficient. Within minutes of ordering, appetizers started arriving. There’s something really comforting about knowing that good service is still part of the culture here. And the vibe? Soft Hindi music playing in the background, smiles at every table, and the staff switching between Chinese, Hindi, and English like it’s second nature. It makes the experience personal, welcoming, and connected. Oh—and don’t forget—5% off if you pay cash. A little bonus that never hurts. So yeah, it’s been a while since my last review, but TENGS reminded me tonight why I wrote one in the first place. The food, the upgrades, the service—it’s all still there, better than ever. Until next time.

The service here is phenomenal and not to mention it is a family owned restaurant! Whether you’re in the mood for Chinese or halal/ Indian they got you covered. My egg drop soup was delicious and the Manchurian noodles were spicy/ flavorful along with the edamame. Really neat spot for easy and tasty takeout. Thank you 🙏 Tyler for taking my order!

Staff were nice and the scallion pancakes & veggie lo mein were really good!!

Teng's is an amazing chinese restaurant that is very clean and has a great ambiance. We ordered three appetizers consisting of wontons, dumplings, and pakora, all of which were chicken, and for entrees were the crispy beef and general tso chicken. Everything tastes really fresh and is filled with flavor. Teng's is as authentic as you will get when it comes to halal chinese cuisine. Teng's is a family business and the owners are one of the best people you will meet. They are super friendly and make you feel as if you are at home. The food comes really fast to your table and is always fresh.

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....

I freaking love this place, everything is so yummy and flavorful. Hoping to try everything on the menu one visit at a time. It's a super small place, everything is served in to go containers, you take your own plates and utensils, when done, pack your own leftovers. Love it. If I lived closer it would be a problem.

I give five stars for atmosphere because that's not really to be expected as a place that is predominantly take out. This is the best Chinese food I've had on Long Island in my entirety of living here. The options they provide for dishes are also fantastic and not something you will see in other places.
