We went to this restaurant yesterday and must confess we were disappointed. We ordered steamed dumplings and the dipping sauce was pretty harsh tasting, with a tremendous influence of mostly soy bean. We then ordered your Chicken Wonton Soup which was by far the best eating on their menu that day. Next we ordered General Tsao's chicken with shrimp fried rice. The General Tsao's chicken was soggy, and appeared it had been laying in the sauce much longer than it should have been. It was not spicy at all, although perhaps that may have been our fault because my wife did not specify the degree of heat when she ordered. The shrimp fried rice was very good. The waiter was very, very nice, although disorganized and somewhat overwhelmed. This was our second time there; but our first Sunday. While waiting for our check, I told my wife that perhaps there was a new cook. She didn't think so because the tall cook came out of the kitchen to fill a pail of freshly caught fish from a vendor. It was not until we were ready to leave that another cook walked out of the kitchen to the behind the front counter. We then concurred that that was probably the reason our food was not as good the second time around. We will return, but never again on a Sunday. I hope they look into the dipping sauce issue. It was so distasteful that it ruined the taste of the steamed dumplings. The chicken dish also needs to be revisited. We sent this critique to the website's email listed address, but it was returned.

Had the beef noodle soup... first time it tasted like my mom's. Hole in the wall, but authentic cooking. Menu is in english, the waiter was non-Asian. Can't wait to go back!

Having lived in Taiwan, and having been to China, I gotta say that if you are looking for authenticity, this place is legit for both food and decor. I am happy to find delicious Chinese food that I don't have to drive to Flushing for. A great find. Don't forget to order a bubble tea for dessert.

Decent food. More authentic than the other popular chinese places around the stony brook area (i.e. Lan Wo and King Wah). Quality wise ridiculous. Each time you go, you can expect the quality to vary. Sometimes it's very good and other times its bland and nasty. Staff - usually good, but on the last visit there was a white waiter to our surprise. The ridiculous part about it was the fact that he didn't take our order. He came over and gave us the pad and asked us to write down our orders, wth is that? To top that experience off, we waited an hour plus for our food, terrible experience. Delivery - Expect to wait a hour at least, sometimes even longer than that. They take forever to deliver. Also when you call in, sometimes the chef picks up. He doesn't speak english so if you try to order at times he would just hang up on you. Store hours are kind of ridiculous too now . . . apparently they are now closed on mondays. On weekends despite their site saying they open at 12pm the reality is they dont open till 4pm. Guess business is too good and they dont feel like they dont have to open much.

This is not am American Chinese takeout place so don't be shocked if your General Tso Chicken doesn't taste "authentic". Anyway with that said, I came for the AYCE hotpot. It clearly states $18 on their website. But it's $23. So go there while you still can before they change the price online. You can still augue about the false ad like I did. Honestly, I was not impressed. This is not the way I'm used to hotpotting. They bring you random veggies and meat and they said whatever you can't finish, just leave it there. So does that mean someone can eat my leftovers? Or even worse.. I ate a stranger's leftovers? Whatever they have is so limited. Besides an order of beef and lamb, they try to stuff you with cheap veggies. Not worth $18, let alone $23. At least they have bubble tea right? Nope. WRONG. Apparently they don't even make tapioca anymore and the price was like almost $4! Well.. At least they were nice. One of them a little too nice or by nice I meant weird. Still giving it a 2 stars because I have no doubt about regular menu. Oh and student ID doesn't give you a discount anymore.

Another interesting Chinese dining experience in the Seldon area. This place is worth checking out. Its probably one of the only chinese Halal restaurants Ive ever taken out from. So far Ive only tried their General Tso's and chicken fried rice. Its different then most places. Everything from the batter/fry to the sauce. Nice and spicey just how I like, which most chinese restaurants tend to overlook even for items listed as spicey. I will be going back soon to try some more of the menu. 3.5 stars for the fried rice 4 for the General

It feels like a nice, modest Chinese family has invited you into their home for hotpot. There are travel books on a shelf above a small desk in one corner and a set of living room chairs in another. They gave us a portable gas burner for our unlimited hotpot. The sauces were at a small table by the entrance in covered ceramic bowls. That was kind of strange but I can't pinpoint why. The free sodas are in a clear fridge that you can help yourself to. That was also kind of un-pinpointably strange. There was as much beef, pork, shrimp, tripe, squid, green vegetables, enokitake, and winter melon as you could shamelessly ask for. You do have to keep asking though, cuz sometimes they're too busy to remember what you wanted. But it's all good again when they finally bring it out. I already miss it.

They ask 15%tips for delivery and it is mandatory. I live in Fairfield selden, I give him 10%, he told me do not make order from him again.

Love! I went with my bf on 2 occasions. Both time we were greeted by the friendly waiter :) he immediately poured us tea (different teas each time) the cups were very interesting if you know how to read Chinese. Food: spicy.... OMG so spicy. My bf loves spicy food to a fault. But even though I'm not a fan of spicy food. It was absolutely AMAZING! On a side note, you can ask for things to be not spicy :) will try it next time :) Service: much friendlier and better than Yao's dinner. Loved the tea that waiter served. It was very fragrant and smooth. Ambience: cute little place. We sat by the table next to the wall and it was decorated with dried flowers and photographs. Nice table for a date. Music was nice and romantic. Not too loud so I can hear my bf's exclamation of love for the food. Lol

Tao's Delicacies is tucked in the shopping area between the Selden Mosque and the Taco Bell (same center as Liberty Travel and Choopan Grill). It is a "Halal Chinese food" establishment, meaning no pork is prepared/served (but whatever, if I want good pork belly, I'll hike it out to Momofuku). It's definitely as "authentic" Chinese as you can get in the Selden area - and to prove it, their bulletin board in the enterance is plastered with Chinese-language ads(?) and the walls are decorated with actual photographs of some place(s) in China. The GOOD: my General Tso's chicken was one of the better ones I've had in a take-out setting. The chicken was never frozen, which made it 100% different from their competitors. Maybe that's part of Halal standards? I don't know.. They have BUBBLE TEA, in a variety of flavors (the usual Taro (good!), coconut, vanilla, red bean, black tea, etc) as well as Green Apple and chocolate flavor too. Keeping with the Halal-availability, Tao's offers lamb as well. The "Amazing Spicy Pot" is something I'd like to try sometime but I think that would be more of a group experience. The MEH: The cook and counterman were pretty busy when I stopped in @ 3:10 asking for the lunch special - sadly, it ended at 3:00 (the menu does not indicate a timeframe) and in keeping with the "authentic Chinese attitude", they weren't willing to budge to accommodate a new customer. They weren't rude or anything, I think it's purely a cultural difference. The interior is also pretty lackluster, and pretty "home made" (very unlike the cookie-cutter deco at EVERY other LI Chinese food takeout) which I personally find charming (personal photos, books) but if you were taking somebody on a first date, this may not impress them. My quest for good seitan continues...

$23 for all-you-can-eat hotpot. Hotpot on Long Island? Yesss. Actual, legitimate, authentic ingredients? Yesss. Stamp of approval from someone who grew up in Hong Kong? Yesss. Hole in the wall that no one else knows about? Yesss. Part of me wants everyone to know that there is authentic hotpot out here in the middle-of-nowhere-Long-Island, but I also want to be selfish and keep it a hidden treasure so I'm always guaranteed a seat if I go. I should have used my student ID last night (thanks reviewer below)... but since I will be going back... I will be able to use my discount! If you pay cash only, you don't need to pay tax. I did say hole in the wall. :)

I am highly satisfied with the food and the service. I regret that I didnt listen to my friend when he recommended this place months ago. By the way, this is an authentic Chinese restaurant. They do have general tso-like dishes that you may like at an americanized chinese restaurant. However, try their spicy pots. They are awesome in every way!
(5)Chris L.
Tao's is legit- their core clientele of actual Chinese people speaks for itself. This isn't your standard middling Long Island Chinese food, it's the real deal- spicy, succulent, and interesting in all the ways that the watered-down Americanized Chinese restaurants are not. I know that people come from miles around to eat at Tao's- I do, and I have plenty of friends who do the same. They do a really great hot pot as well (half-spicy, half-mild). The non-Asians that I've gotten to try Tao's have been suitably impressed as well. Best dishes that I've had are the Chongqinq Spicy Chicken, Cumin Lamb, and Salt & Pepper Shrimp (not on the menu anymore, but they'll make it if you ask).
(5)Alex L.
Definitely a hidden treasure! It is tucked away in the Liberty Plaza and has a hole-in-the- wall feel. Don't come for the ambience - come here for the food! It reminds me of my dad's cooking. I can't find another Chinese restaurant near here with the same authenticity. They make their own hand-pulled noodles here. You can order their lo mien with "extras" like with egg and broccoli. I've loved everything I've had here, though personally I wasn't crazy over the cumin lamb. It was a LOT of cumin... I never tried their bubble tea because a friend recommended that I just stick with the food. They're closed Mondays (I realize I tend ton crave this place on Mondays, driven there, then kicked myself for forgetting again). Former reviews complain about the service because yes, apparently the chef doesn't speak English when he picks up the phone. But this adds to the authenticity, no? The people who own this restaurant have waited on me and service was very friendly. If you pay cash as a SBU student, you get a small discount.j
(5)Anisah B.
Tastey food. Not your typical Chinese fast food. This is real deal Chinese! Love the veggie fried rice. Actual Chinese veggies. Dumplings were also yummy. Fresh ginger, bamboo shoots and garlic in the chicken with garlic sauce. General taos is not too sweet and not dredged in sauce, which is great! Food is spicy so if you can't take heat, be careful with what you order. They also have bubble tea!!! So excited that I found this place.
(5)Joshua E.
Halal + Szechuan = delicious razor sharp spicy food. This place has come far from what they were... The food was always terrific but now they've worked on service and it shows! The waitress helped us pick out our meal and we loved it. The prices are reasonable, the food is authentic, flavorful and fresh. You can't go wrong stopping in, unless its a Monday or Wednesday, because they're closed :D
(4)Jeff D.
Excellent, authentic Chinese food. Chongqing chicken and the lamb ribs are favorites- spicy and seasoned perfectly. The lo mein was sauced lightly and full of large shrimp and tender steak. It's a little pricey, but worth it in my opinion. I've only taken out from here- add 20 minutes to whatever time they quote you- also worth it!
(4)Kelly K.
I wish I could review the food but unfortunately never received it. I had ordered take out and was told 30 minutes. When my husband and I arrived they told us to wait 10 more mins.... We ended up waiting for an hour and 40 mins and they didn't seem to care at all. We finally were fed up and cancelled our order and they didn't seem to care since they never even started to make our food. This place is a waste of time.
(1)Rich M.
My wife and I absolutely love this place. The food is not "American Chinese". Family run, charming owners, but as another reviewer indicated, some staff do not speak English. This is part of the charm and makes the experience an adventure. Food quality is very good and the spicy dishes are SPICEY. I recommend the cumin lamb, kung PO chicken, dumplings, hot and sour soup and the sour cabbage and noodles. Heck, I recommend everything!
(5)Remy S.
I might be contradicting but this place is A-OK! I give it +1 star because it actually exists in this town. Choose the right dishes and you will have an authentic-tasting experience. Very delicious and "wok" flavorful but definitely not food for health. I usually order the same few dishes--addicted to spicy shredded beef and General Tso's chicken (hands down BEST ON LONG ISLAND!!!). However, I've started to notice some things about the quality of their food. Shrimp with broccoli or in garlic sauce: -the crustacean is lightly breaded and fried which results in a slightly mushy exterior and is always overcooked. -by nature, broccoli will always be a sponge for oil and sauce (which is why it's so tasty!) -garlic sauce was decent--tangy reed-shaped bamboo shoots, black cloud fungus, sliced ginger, and red chile peppers Meat with broccoli: -beef and chicken are sliced thinly and wok-fried in a lot of oil so it results in a rubbery texture. You may also notice that the beef has an overwhelming "fishy" smell (at first, I thought they put fish sauce in everything). The industry might recognize that as "aged-meat" or you might call it rotting. Either way, the oil and spice masks a lot of the funk.

Apparently these guys recently started a lunch box service similar to empire Szechuan that delivers to stony brook university. Price is $6. No tax no tip. Includes rice and a vegetable side dish. I'm a fan but I think empire's is better both in quality and quantity.

Very.unhappy.experience at TAO's twice. The food is not delicious, even not good. The service is so bad. We were not served with water and we had to ask for it. There was only one old lady who can not even speak English. She just put all the dishes on the table without asking anything during whole dinner. We finished our dinner very quickly and the check came with 15% tips and what was fucking stupid was that the old lady said the 15% tip is mandatory. She even signed on my bill. Is that hullarious? We definitely won't go there anymore. So angry now. If it is possible I will give ZERO star on this review.

Fast food this is NOT! For all those who expect the usual Chinese take out restaurant fare, GO ELSEWHERE! This is truly a 5 star gem not because it is ritzy, not because it is high end or pretentious...it gets its 5 stars because this is dinning the way you would eat at a friends home. Not pre-fab. Not canned. Just wholesome and made to order. I strongly recommend you order to taste. If you don't like salty, let them know. If you like something in particular, ask. Don't miss out on this gem!

***Tao's: The Little Brother of Yao's*** Despite the title, I haven't actually been to Yao's, but I was with a couple friends who had and the comparisons between these two places were inevitable when we found Yao's was temporarily closed and decided to come here for lunch. The place is tiny but dare I say "cute"? Completely unassuming from its exterior bland Long Island stripmall facade, it's filled with...well, certainly interesting decorations (think bookcases, lamps, artwork, curtains, etc) that aren't typical in Chinese restaurants. We split 3 dishes: -Chongqing Spicy Chicken: The waitress gave us the option of getting the chicken boneless or in small chunks on the bone, and suggested going with the meat on the bone as she claimed that was more authentic. I'd never had this type of dish served that way but we went along with it. The spices and peppers gave the chicken a great taste. Portion was large but each chunk was small, and thus with the bone and cartilage there wasn't much muscle/edible meat left. Next time I come I'll probably get this again but go with the boneless option. -Spicy Beef Szechuan Style: This big pot of beef in spicy oil felt endless...if I came here again I would DEFINITELY get this, the meat was soft and accentuated with a great oily spice...not sure I could have stopped downing that oil over rice if I didn't get full by the end. -Sweet and Sour Fish: This was the weakest link out of the three. Despite it being called "fish," I'm pretty sure the small chunks of fish were made from shrimp. Ultimately the sweetness of the sauce overwhelmed the fish. I would be happy with this dish I was getting more Americanized Chinese takeout at half the price, so ultimately it disappointed a little even though it wasn't bad. The waitress/owner(?) was quick to refill our drinks/rice bowls and was very kind and accommodating. Not going to comment in this regard on Yao's since I haven't been there yet but from what I've consistently heard, that really makes this place really shine in comparison. From my friends point of view, the food at Yao's is a little bit better, but also considerably more expensive. They also have boba tea here (for 3 bucks), which is a rarity in the area. Bottom line: Recommend this place if you're looking for authentic Chinese fare in Suffolk County. Great service and cozy atmosphere. Based on limited experience, I'd stay away from fish and get meat/poultry. Come hungry and share!

I was here yesterday and the atmosphere was pretty nice the restaraunt was full until near closing time... The food was great, but my friend asked for a fork and one of the waitresses laughed at her... not sure why, but other than that everything here is great.

Unlike many of my friends they don't like Tao, I have a passion into it cuz the owner of it is also from my hometown Beijing. What they serve different from other Chinese restaurant is Chinese Pancake or 煎饼, I mean, pure authentic 煎饼 of Beijing/Tianjin flavor. 这家店æ供煎饼果å真令人惊喜。ä¸è¿‡è™½ç„¶åº—主是北京人，但是这个煎饼确实天津风味。他用的是油æ¡è€Œä¸æ˜¯åŒ—京用的薄脆，而且里é¢åŠ äº†é¦™è‚ ã€‚ä¸è¿‡å·²ç»å¾ˆéš¾å¾—了，$3.5一个，é‡å¾ˆè¶³ï¼Œæˆ‘一顿é¥è¶³å¤Ÿäº†ã€‚ Besides of Jianbing we also ordered the spicy pot, which was kinda plain. The whole room is decorated in old Chinese wood style, with pictures of Beijing hanging on the walls. Love them and love Beijing.

Walking into this place, this wasn't your normal Chinese restaurant, the decor was really unique and hipster like. Their was a kid behind the counter that gave me the take out menu which was real small to read. Unlike the small fast food Chinese restaurant's most of us in NY are used to, this place has a limited menu, their is no small, medium, or large size but just one, plus the prices are about $3-$5 higher than most places. I ordered Sesame Chicken, Beef Pepper, Beef with Broccoli, and Veg Lo Mein to go. I waited about 25 mins and when I got into my car the kid came running out and said I took the wrong order (fed up at this point). The food smelled great but it tasted even better. The dishes were phenomenal, for the extra few dollars they charge you end up paying for quality. The beef in both dishes were ahhhmazing, the Sesame Chicken was good, the Lo Mein was similar yet different from other places. I look forward to ordering from here again and hopefully I'll dine in next time. The bathroom is clean and is nicely decorated as well.
