Orchid - Chinese restaurant in Garden City - 730 Franklin Ave, USA

An old school elegant Chinese restaurant. This is Chinese only, not asian fusion. They have the large wide crunchy noodles. It's a large place with a lot of seating. It's underground so lots of steps from the parking lot. There is an elevator by the rear parking lot entrance. Very enjoyable.

We stopped in while visiting from out of town. We were there during the week and it was still relatively busy. The service throughout the night was outstanding. The ambience was really interesting. It felt high class. My Orchid Shrimp dish was excellent. A couple of the other dishes were overcooked a bit. We had two cocktails. My wife had a Malibu Bay Breeze that was very good. My Old Fashioned was very watered down. Even though everything wasn't perfect we still enjoyed our evening.

There is truly no finer Chinese food on Long Island than Orchid! We have been coming for the past 20 years and always have a great experience!! The service is always top notch thanks to our favorite waiter Gary who has become a part of the family! The food is second to none; our favorite appetizers include the scallion pancakes, their ribs, dumplings, crab Rangoon’s, and of course the egg rolls. Their Peking duck is phenomenal as well as the sesame chicken, multiple lo mein’s, and the best pork fried rice!! Their ice cream is the perfect end to the wonderful feast!! Highly recommend!!

Hidden in a basement in Garden City lies one of the best-kept dining secrets of Long Island. If you have a birthday, anniversary or special occasion coming up give it a try. Or if you are simply craving delicious food go there. You will not regret it.

Not cheap. Food is unique and very, very good. Atmosphere is super Gordy which makes it absolutely awesome. The waiters wear black suits and bow ties. We enjoyed.

Hiding out in a down stairs store front is this High end Chinese restaurant. The food here is great but the duck is outstanding. I’ve never had duck this meaty and tender. Excellently prepared and served. The wait staff is also outstanding. We had the Peking duck, orchid duck , pu pu platter and the triple crown. It’s getting harder to find sit down , Hogh end Chinese restaurants, so this was a find. The decor was fabulous.

I was in the are and decided to have Chinese for lunch. Google led me to Orchid. Once you get over descending into a basement, you see a nicely decorated retaurant with cloth civere tables. Dated to be sure, but much nicer than most chinese restaurants. The menu ws a single black and white paper. I ordered some Chow Fun and soup. Also asked for tea. The tea arrived in a teapot, very nice, and it was good. Food came soon after, and it too was delicious. The price was a bit higher than average, but the food, service, and ambiance were well worth it. I will return to try dinner.

Best Chinese food around! Great service and very friendly and homey atmosphere. My favorite place for good food.
