DunHuang Syosset — Restaurant in Town of Oyster Bay

I’m so confused by the good reviews. The food is Extremely overpriced and they give very small portions. I ordered for pick up on a rainy day, soup just sounded like a great and comfy idea. I thought it would be a more elevated version of regular Chinese food…I was hugely disappointed. I ordered the chicken soup with pork wontons and they literally only filled the container barely half full and there were about 3 wontons. At any normal Chinese restaurant they fill it all the way up and it’s about $5. I also got the pork belly dish and it doesn’t even come with rice!!!! No rice….you have to pay extra for rice. No rice for a dish that is almost $20 on its own is ridiculous. I called and they told me they just “don’t” give rice, you have to pay extra. And then when I asked why the soup was barely filled they told me thats just how they fill it….like okay. I will never eat there again tbh. Don’t waste ur money. I’m sad to leave this bad review cuz I was very excited to try a new place and was pretty disappointed. It sucks when u decide to give a new place a try and ur super excited but it just wasn’t worth it. I wish I had just went to my local Chinese restaurant, would be cheaper and...

We got the signature with sliced beef and the braided beef noodle soup, Xiao long bak, and spicy wontons and the lamb pocket (forgot the actual name).

The spicy wontons were ok, not the best, but not bad either. Mainly, I didn't like the watery soupy base as opposed to a strong, spicy thicker base.

The Xiao long bao was bad. Don't get of you're a connoisseur. Mainly, the wrap was very thick which ruins it for me. Also they don't automatically give you ginger/vinegar sauce.

The beef noodle soup was overall ok. I got thick noodles with he braised beef. The beef was mediocre, not tender with melting tendon. My broth was good, and the thick noodles were excellent. Oh and the bok Choi was cold and hard, didn't appear to be cooked with he soup at all.

My wife's signature on the other hand... She didn't like much. She reported the noodles were cold, and the broth was not as flavorful as mine.

We didn't like the lamb pocket (whatever it's called). Honestly, it tastes more like Mexican seasoning and felt like it was eating a taco. No that that's necessarily a bad thing, but not what we were expecting or hoped for there. Lol

Overall, the place was on, but not the same as...

I recently visited Dunhuang Chinese Restaurant in Syosset, and overall, it was a fantastic dining experience. The ambiance was inviting and modern, and the service was attentive.

We tried a variety of dishes, and the Mala Noodles were absolutely amazing—packed with bold, spicy flavors that really hit the spot! The Lamb Skewers were perfectly grilled with just the right amount of seasoning. The Signature Beef Noodles were a standout as well, with tender beef and deliciously flavorful broth. The Sweet and Sour Ribs had a great balance of tangy and sweet, and the Crab Soup Dumplings were full of flavor with a rich, savory broth inside.

However, the Pork and Lamb Bun didn’t quite live up to the expectations—it was a bit underwhelming in taste compared to the other dishes. Still, the overall meal was a great experience, and we definitely plan to return.

Highly recommend for anyone looking for authentic Chinese...
