Beijing House

Great food, great ambience, great service. What else could one want

The food is soooo good! Schezuan and traditional Manchurian. The lady who took my phone order (Emma) was so nice and helpful. I'll be back soon!

I'm shocked. This place is deserving of a high in the 4s rating. My favorite Szechuan restaurant, clearly authentic Beijing House offers different dishes and combos. Sauces are thick. Flavors are strong. Service is pleasant and efficient. Non-fancy, clean, bright decor. The food is the star. I would appreciate additional vegan choices on the menu. The Wood Ear Mushroom with Chinese yam is vegan and stupendous. Avoid the spicy Mapo. I recommend the delish, flavorful Tofu Hot Pot sans leeks and Stir Fried String Beans Edited 3/20/2022 New menu, more including a few more vegan choices, still authentic and efficient. Same fantastic chefs. The cucumber appetizer is amazing and I recommend the simply delicious snow pea leaves w. fresh garlic, and chives w. shredded black tofu. Yum, yum 5/3/22 I am heartbroken but APPARENTLY they have new chefs. The dishes ARE NOT the same. My favorite dish the Hot Pot tofu, anchoring my interest in the place, was messed up! Even my close 2nd fav dish (the Wood Ear with Chinese Yam) was not quite right and the wonderful cucumber sauce was inconsistent. Efficiency is the same but new waitress tried to tell me the leeks I held was garlic! There's nothing as a Szechuan red sauce made right. I would come here for the vegetable dishes that have no sauce to change and are hard to find (Snow Pea Leaves, Baby Bok Choy) and order carefully if you are a longtime customer. The last time I was here some crazy lady came in here screaming at someone placing their order, apparently hellset on destroying our relaxing dinner. There's a hospital across the street. I'm wondering if she escaped from a psych ward. All of us had a big laugh after she left. Maybe we shouldn't have closed all of Long Island's mental hospitals

Noticed hadn’t updated my review and was back here last year. Well, things changed. Brought fairly large group including family to dinner there. After paying the bill and leaving a reasonable tip, the waitress came to the table and, not at all quietly, complained and argued about said tip. I’ve never seen or heard anything like it. Likely trying to guilt me into a bigger tip. I asked to see her manager who was not there. I left and she was yelling “this is America.” Bathrooms were gross this time. Did not seem like a business, trying to make money pleasing its customers. I charged back her tip.

Today is Nov 9th. We went in at 8.30, and the staff said that they can only accommodate take out... no sit in. The sign outside stated that they are open until 9.30 pm, and I pointed it out to them... the staff just said yeah, we know Clearly we were not going to eat after that, but what surprised me was that they did not seem apologetic about not serving even after it was pointed out Clearly an absentee owner run business Anyone who owns a business would not turn down customers when there is still an hour to service a customer
