Kwong Ming — Restaurant in Town of Hempstead

Still on the journey to find a restaurant that has a decent chicken with broccoli and this place definitely did not have it. First they answered the phone with "yeah?" Now I know and understand that's how "old school" Chinese restaurants (which is what people say this place is) tend to answer the phone but my mother who called was not pleased because she wasn't sure she had the right number. Not a great start. Second WAY WAY WAYYYYY over priced. $18.50 for a combo chicken with broccoli, which the chicken was rubbery, broccoli was not cooked soft(requested) and was given fried rice when white was ordered, the only good thing I can say about this meal was that I did like the brown sauce on the chicken with broccoli. I would never have chosen this place because of how expensive it is but I was trying to treat my mother to some old fashioned chow mein and this is where she suggested, she ate here many years ago (2017). We ordered a quart of chicken chow mein, along with a quart of fried rice, a small order of boneless ribs, fried dumplings, two quarts of wonton soup, along with my combination, oh and two extra egg rolls. 95 dollars! We did not receive white rice for our chow mein, the Boneless ribs were burnt and had a bunch of fatty pieces, the chow mein was dark and watery, the vegetables in it were undercooked and huge, not the chow mein my mother was looking for or remembered from them. I can't even begin to describe the problem with the dumplings, the inside of the dumplings was a texture that I have never experienced before and this isn't my first dumpling rodeo. I've been trying to explain it to my mom since I ate it. The outside was fine, but because of the inside (maybe they weren't fully cooked?) we threw them out. The wonton soup was bland. I was excited for it because it has the greens in it but it was nothing special at all which was sad because it was the best looking out of all the food. The egg roll looked old school, dark and big but the filling inside was raw/undercooked.

I normally don't like to complain so when I write a review, it's because I spent a good chunk of change and ended up feeling ripped off. I also don't like to tell people what to do but I recommend staying away from this place. I'm sure they were good back in the day or maybe it's better to eat it there, but I will not be returning...

DIRTY, RUDE, UNPLEASANT Upon entry, the man sitting at the desk didn't even look up or say hello. When he was greeted by us, it was as if he was annoyed by our presence. When seated, we were asked if we wanted a table or booth, and requested a table we wer e seated at a booth. The table was too close to the seat, and I am by no means a heavy or remotely overweight person. I got the scent of urine where I was seated. If not for being invited by others, I would have left the moment I walked in. The energy was that bad. I washed my hands in the bathroom, sat down again and the waiter gave the menus. It's your grandparents outdated "choose from column A or B". The waiter was extremely ill mannered and barked at us for our order. He was nasty, rude and disrespectful. It's way too overpriced. The food although plentiful (more like wasteful), was dry, and extremely salty. It tasted off, like it was bad, I ended up pushing it around my plate until everyone was finished. When I picked up my vegetable roll, my fingers were left with oil on them as if I dipped my hand in oil. When I arrived home, I went straight to the bathroom. My friend offered me the food, I threw it out. The utensils were dirty, the plates were old and the place overall needs a serious scrubdown. A little bleach and some Lysol will do the trick. The linens appeared to be clean. The experience was a real disappointment for me. Do not waste your money, or time. The staff is rude and disrespectful, the food is overpriced and poorly made. It's not fresh and quite honestly, it should close its doors for good. On a side note, the people seated behind us had to reiterate their order four times. The server still got it wrong, and when they told him thwy also ordered another item, he acted as though he did not understand. Believe me, they speak, read and write the english language very well. Better than most...

I never leave reviews, but my experience was SO bad I have been left with no choice.

This Chinese restaurant is an absolute disgrace and deserves every negative review it has received. Despite my reservations due to the terrible reviews, my family insisted we dine here in honor of my late grandmother. I can only regret that decision.

This was on Saturday, January 13th, at 5 PM. The two male waiters never told us their names.

From the moment we entered, the staff's attitude towards our large party was beyond rude. Their annoyance was palpable and they kept eye-rolling during every conversation with us. The waiters insisted on splitting the table, making separate checks an unnecessarily challenging ordeal.

Example: My cousin couldn’t be on the same check as her father, since they were sitting on opposite ends of the table. She had the other waiter, not his waiter. Make it make sense.

The most shocking incident involved my sister's won ton soup. It was taken away before she finished, only to be returned from the dirty plate bin. Asking her to identify her soup from two taken out was not only unsanitary but a severe violation of basic hygiene standards. I lost all trust in the food's safety at that point.

To add insult to injury, custom tip amounts were arbitrarily added to all our checks, leaving us with no control over our own gratuity. This establishment's blatant disrespect for customers and disregard for hygiene make it the worst Chinese restaurant I've ever encountered. Save yourself the disappointment and avoid this place...
