Chinese Roast Pork - At a Diner?

Since 1980, Olympic Diner has been serving locals classic comfort food at affordable prices.  From burgers and fries to house-made desserts and everything in between, the eatery offers its customers a seemingly endless amount of options. 

Start the day off with Jumbo Challah Bread French Toast ($6.95) that is thick cut and grilled until golden brown.  For lunch, try the Greek staples – Souvlaki ($11.75) made with either chicken or pork, or Spinach Pie ($12.95) bursting with bites of feta cheese. 

Still not sure what to order?  Why not a dish that is truly unique – unexpected. 

Olympic’s Chinese Roast Pork definitely fits the bill. 

The Dish: Chinese Roast Pork ($12.35)

How It’s Served: The Chinese Roast Pork is thinly sliced and served as a sandwich on a grilled garlic hoagie roll; it’s accompanied by a side of fries and duck sauce. 

Taste: The signature red “bark” of the pork gives the meat a mildly smoky flavor that is nicely offset by dried herbs, while the sweetness of the duck sauce balances the meat’s slight saltiness.  The lightly grilled garlic hoagie roll absorbs some of the juices from the meat, and also provides a great textural contrast between the crusty bread and the tender pork. 

Thin-cut, fried to a golden-brown, and seasoned to perfection, the fries are a welcome addition to the Chinese Roast Pork.  

With its extensive menu and well-seasoned staff, a trip to Olympic Diner is sure to satisfy any craving. 

Olympic Diner is located at 1536 Deer Park Avenue, Deer Park, NY 11729.
