Old Chief BBQ 老村长炒鸡 — Restaurant in Town of North Hempstead

What a great find on a Thursday night! Was in the mood for something spicy and this hit the mark. Walked into a nice clean place with a chill vibe. Guy at the front was nice and the woman in the back was as well. Very friendly and accommodating. Got our skewer-warmer box and started ordering a variety of skewers and the spicy hotpot. Was offered some complimentary spicy chicken feet! Everything came out fast but piping hot. Food was delicious and spicy but the woman offered us some homemade chili oil that knocked it out of the park! Ghost pepper and Carolina reapers in an Asian style chili oil?! Yes please! Will come back even though we’re...

We came here because I was craving skewers and it was close by. We started with the combo for 2, the cabbage dish that was included with it was surprisingly tasty (normally a dish I wouldn't order). We ended up ordering more skewers and some other dishes. Very tasty meal overall. The staff are all super friendly and nice and I'd recommend anyone to try this place (most non skewer dishes have a lot of garlic though, so beware if you're not a fan of garlic). They currently have a grand opening scratch card which is also fun. Highly recommend walking or public transportation to get here though because parking around here...

Excellent food and a strong menu that has food for both authentic food enjoyers and Americana-Chinese appreciators. However, for the prices and for a restaurant located in Great Neck, the decor was lacking. The service does reflect that the place opened only a few weeks ago. But if they fix this, they'll do very well. It's nice to have a place NOT in Flushing or Bayside w/ real Chinese food.

PS: all dishes over $15 really should come w/ a bowl of rice....
