Alberts is the best traditional Mandarin style food you can find. Albert completely renovated the restaurant and its large, roomy and beautiful with an active long bar. He added a complete Japanese menu, and the sushi is phenomenal. Take out or just go for a sit down dinner to take advantage of the superior service and the relaxed, enjoyable, unhurried meal. You wont regret it!
The Mandarin Gourmet has been a favorite restaurant for my friends and I for over 30 years! They are our go to. They are our home. ❤With food SO superior and service SO off the chart fantastic, I behooves me to understand how theres no line out their door (?)They work hard. They make their customers feel loved. Theyve been a lifetime of great times.
Our regular Chinese place is good but my husband wanted to try somewhere different, Alberts had good reviews so we ordered take out. The place was packed, with loads of bags lined up for delivery too. We ordered wonton soup, hot and sour soup, shrimp toast, egg rolls x3, large pork fried rice, general tsos chicken, beef szechuan and chicken and garlic sauce. We thought it was a good variety to try for a first time visit and they were dishes we are familiar with. Total was $90, food was ready in 20 minutes. We live about 10 minutes away and the food was still hot when we got home. I cant say anything was awful but nothing was very good either. Everything was under seasoned with the exception of the fried rice, which aside from being dry had good flavor. The wontons were so soggy and doughy that two had busted opened so the soup was a bland, mushy mess. All our entrees were marked with the spicy icon on the menu. Traditionally these dishes have a nice red pepper kick but nothing that will melt your shoes off. None of them had even the slightest bit of heat, zero. The general tsos wasnt as sweet as most places serve and this was kind of refreshing... that the sauce wasnt like syrup, but it was still woefully under seasoned. The beef szechuan and chicken and garlic were both served in the style that everything is cut in thin strips. The proportions were off, some pieces were string thin and other pieces were the width of your pinky. Made for mostly overcooked veggies that lacked any crisp texture and some rubbery meat. The hot and sour soup had no sour, the shrimp toast was decent. The egg rolls were soggy. All and all, disappointing. The worst part is this place is twice as expensive as our usual Chinese place and not even half as good.
Everything we ordered was delicious especially the Peking Duck. The sushi rolls were small in comparison to other restaurants we frequent but tasty. There were a few things that I did dislike though... the servers will hurry away before you have a chance to tell them if you need anything, the meals didnt come out at the same time so you arent eating together. Had to repeatedly ask for our 4th meal. Last but not least we ask if they had Tartufo. The guy didnt understand so we asked for a dessert menu. A little while later he brings out this large dish of assorted ice creams and fruits. We tell him we didnt order it. He smiles and says Happy Mothers Day giving us the impression it was on the house. Well surprise! They charged us $20 for something we didnt order..so beware.
Been in Huntington 20 years, Loved Alberts from the beginning. The addition of the sushi has been nice, My son loves the dumplings and we regularly leave very full. Albert is always welcoming and regularly helps the waitstaff take orders and brings drinks. Nice to have the owner so involved.
Spacious and nicely done dining room with a good size bar on the side. The staff is accommodating, and the menu is extensive. All dishes are good, cant think of one dish I felt disappointed in, but I have to note that like many restaurants, some of the dishes can be tad salty (this might be just my taste). The Japanese dishes (fairly new addition to menu in last couple of years) is ok; I prefer the Chinese dishes here. Reasonable priced, prompt service, friendly staff (weve been coming here over dozen years so they know us) and you can ask the dishes to be made any way you prefer - a big bonus. Oh and there are at times local coupons also.
They have great food and the portions are very large almost like family style. They also have an extensive selection of sushi and sashimi. Everything is very fresh and cooked to perfection. The only thing I dont like is that they do not offer free refills on soft drinks. There is usually very little wait time for a table and the servers are very prompt And knowledgeable about specials
First time we ordered take out with a few office coworkers. Not very friendly when ordering by phone. Asked if there were peas in the shrimp & lobster sauce and was told, No Peas. Lots of peas in the sauce. Food had absolutely NO flavor. Dumplings were very bland. Over priced for the portions given. Will not return again.
Excellent Chinese food here in Huntington. Nice restaurant and not the traditional take out place. Food is superior in quality and tastes great. Sushi is also available along with other Japanese menu items. Alberts has been renovated and has a friendly staff and good service. Nice bar and always a good crowd. Clean establishment along with clean restrooms.
I dont frequent sit-down chinese restaurants often, but Ive been here a number of times, with groups from 2 people to 20. Service is solid. Family style portions, and you cant go wrong with anything they suggest. The tropical shrimp is unbelievably good. I was skeptical at first, but Im hooked. Fried rice is amazing, general tsos is great, and sesame chicken rules, too. You MUST try the Hot and Sour soup.Albert has been there each time Ive gone...walking around ensuring guests are enjoying themselves. That is a really nice touch to the experience.Love this place!
Of the many Chinese restaurants that exist. Few are those that offer pekin duck, pekin chicken, good bbq spare ribs, 3 lbs lobster and whole fish. The owner is very nice and never say no when asking for something extremely crazy like mix some special crazy sauce. And it has a bar with many varieties to choose from, perfect Mai Tai and the service is very good.
My favorite Chinese restaurant! I always get the cold noodles for the appetizer. Egg drop soup. And the chicken and broccoli is so so good but I always get the broccoli well done because I like it soft. Of and they always have really good dumplings. And the cream cheese wontons are so good too. The staff is amazing they are always so happy.
This place will put you in a time machine and bring you back to the 1970s. Not so much in decor, but the dishes (the poo poo platter and the traditional way that Long island Chinese food) was prepared as I knew it when I was a kid, is spot on. I LOVE IT. My weekly, or every other week spot.
My husband and I were looking for a Chinese restaurant, because our favorite closed due to a family death. We searched high and low, but none came close. That was the case until we found Alberts. This restaurant is A++ The best food and excellent service. I always order the Tropical Shrimp dinner and it is scrumptious. AWESOME decor and ambiance. Albert supervises and makes sure you are well satisfied.UPDATE- The MOST delicious Lo Mein on the planet. Returned to Alberts and ordered the Vegetable Lo Mein and other entrees and I could not believe how incredibly delicious the Lo Mein was. When the Lo Mein arrived at the table, it had an incredibly, succulent , smoky aroma and the taste matched the delectable aroma. I have to say that Alberts is one of the best restaurant in Huntington, as a matter of fact the best of Suffolk County NY..
Waited an hour from time of placing order until I was told they were it of one of the items we ordered. People that came in 15 minutes after us were served 10 minutes before we were. They were belligerent when I told them I wasnt happy it was taking so long, and they didnt tell us they were out of an item. Stay away.
Holy fantastic meal!!!! Hands down delicious! The lobster deal is out of this world! So much food we could almost not eat it all! But it was to yummy to not finish!!!! Albert, the owner is so delightfully sweet and attentive! Hes around helping out through the whole meal. Absolutely a winner!!!
I live 25 minutes away from alberts and had ordered pick up dinner on my way home.they had forgot to put the spare ribs that I ordered in the bag and I didn’t realize until I got home.after calling them for a credit they insisted on driving them to my house (in rush hour)and would not except any other way.the driver refused a tip.they went way above customer service and the spare ribs were great.don’t miss a chance to eat there 👍
One of the best places in Huntington Village for great Chinese food. Only reason for 4 and not 5 stars is the parking situation. You can park easily in the village provided parking lot next door, but if its full it can be a hassle finding a spot elsewhere, you.may just have to drive around a little. Theres only about 10 spaces right outside the door of Alberts, but those are almost always taken, especially around dinner time. As for the food, its great! The interior inside is very nice, clean and the staff are always wonderful.

2022-02-14The beef sticks were very good. The wanton soup is the absolute worst, like it was in a fridge for 3 days waiting to be thrown out. I called to tell them and I was told people like their wanton soup. I was not offered any kind of satisfaction. When a restaurant does not offer to make it right that tells you something. I will never go there again. They lost my trust to let them prepare my food. Yes, I’m surprised too.

2021-10-24It gets crowded during the dinner rush so a reservation is necessary. It is well worth the wait! Everything was great and the service was solid especially for how busy they were. The All in the Family combo with Fried rice is my favorite. You cant go wrong with Mongolian beef either! The bar was jumpin and the drinks were flowing! One of the things that make this place special is that Albert himself after decades of doing this is still on the floor interacting with his customers. Definitely a must try!

2022-03-17I ate at this establishment for an organization meeting. They had 10 servings of food that came out. Half of the servings were of a pescatarian option. This allowed me to enjoy these meals as I have transitioned into this eating lifestyle.

2022-01-02Oh Man,We had a terrible experience. It took so long to bring the food, when they finally brought it was wrong, they wanted us to eat it anyway. We told them to take it off the bill and the bill came and the food was on the bill. They finally took it off the bill, the second time we told them. The food we did have, was cold. Very disappointing. The owner is older now and whoever is in charge is doing a terrible job. Poor Albert..
