Long Long Noodle — Restaurant in Templeton

Just stopped by and sat down for lunch. Good service, good food! The place was hopping but we still received our food in a timly manner. One item that's a big hit is their delivery, I've heard nothing but praise! It's nice to see a thriving local business and we'll continue to stop in for lunch. 👍

Received the grand opening menu in the mail so we thought we'd give em a try. We got there around fiveish and the pickup line was to the door but there were plenty of tables so we were seated once the poor one waitress noticed us. We placed our drink order and ordered pu-pu platter for two, pork fried rice and Thai chili basil chicken. As we were waiting the place filled up fast! No one was at the bar but then someone came from the kitchen and we could see they were Googling the drinks. NP, we all have to learn at some point. My Long island iced tea was mixed correctly, my wife's Bahama mama was a little on the weak side though. At this point the one waitress was straight out at all tables were now full. We also noticed the take out line was getting backed up. I suspect they did not realize the huge turnout from sending out the flyer and in conversation with the waitress that's exactly what happened. The food came and was good but some work is needed on the rice. No egg as the binder in the rice? Basically just soy sauce and chopped boneless spare ribs. Pork fried rice is a staple and "in my opinion" could make or break a restaurant's reputation. We were also expecting whole chicken wings instead of pieces?

However, the wings were delicious! And the egg roll, no oil soaked egg roll here! It actually reminded me of the Mohawk Drive in egg rolls from back in the day! The Thai chili basil chicken was also fabulous!

Price is spot on for the area and a tip of the hat, " and a good tip" to the waitress who busted her but that day! This is not to take away from the kitchen, it was a good size dinner rush and for a new place, well a tip of the hat to the kitchen as well. I could tell you many a story of witnessing "freaked out" or collapsed kitchen staff. But they all came through here!

If I may suggest, the older gentleman who was trying to keep busy? During the rushes it would be beneficial and more efficient turning over the tables by having him bus the tables so the waitress can then focus on the customers.

Growing pains, that's to be expected. All in all a good experience and we will give them a bit to adjust and then try again,,,,, but please work on creating a stellar fried rice. Just saying. 😉 So I'm looking forward to bumping up...

Update 10/22/2022

I ordered a second time and it was way better this time. The food was cooked just right, the rice was moist and decidedly better flavor. The boneless ribs were not dry this time, much better. The chicken in the chicken fingers was more than before, so kudos to them for that. The crab rangoons were not overcooked and had ample filling, very delicious. The egg roll was good sized, but just a tad crispy, but no complaint here. I am changing this to a five star review, and the driver was prompt and courteous as before. Highly recommend.

I ordered take out from their online menu, which at the end there was an issue where the website does not take credit cards. I decided to call, and they were more than happy to take my card over the phone, which was fine. I ordered a #36 combo and a small egg roll. The meal was delivered promptly and the delivery driver was courteous. The food tasted good but I have a few issues with it. Portion sizes are not what you would expect from a chinese place such as Kenny's, they seemed rather small. The crab rangoon were very understuffed, not much filling at all. The chicken fingers hard hardly any chicken in them, like tiny little sad rectangles of chicken surrounded by a massive breading which makes them look bigger than they are obviously. The boneless ribs were also tiny and kind of dry and crunchy. The egg rolls are about half the size of the ones you get at Kenny's, but they tasted good, but the crust was slightly over cooked. A bit too crispy for me. That's a personal preference, I can't knock them for the crispiness, but I can knock them for being so tiny. The house fried rice was spot on, it was delicious, lots of meat and eggs, moist and hot, no complaints there. Overall it was a positive experience, I gave them four stars, and only took off one star for the issues I mentioned. Good place for chinese, I'd go there again. They are brand new so I can't be too hard on them. If they would improve on the areas I mentioned, then I'd give them 5 stars...

First time ordering here. The order was delivered within twenty minutes and still very hot. Online, I had requested delivery to be placed on the hood of my car outside because of my wild and crazy doggo. The delivery driver still knocked on my door. So I had to contain my dog and go outside to sign off on the delivery. Which wasn't the end of the world but it is super stressful with a loud dog that wants to run outside to see the delivery person lol.

I ordered an egg roll, edamame, veggie lo mein and sweet and sour chicken. The egg roll and edamame were good. The lo mein was really oily but decent. The sweet and sour chicken was delivered as chicken fingers with sweet sauce on the side lol. Thought it was odd but it wasn't the end of the world. Didn't end up eating the sweet and sour chicken cause it was a little doughy/undercooked.

All in all, they're not horrible...I appreciate the speed of service but prefer waiting for quality food.

Willing to try again once they get out...
