Comment: This place is unbelievable. We had spicy pork with veggies, green beans with small pieces of pork(spicy), steam dumplings, white rice. All of it was really good. I would highly recommend this place to have great Chinese food.

Comment: It serves surprisingly delicious authentic Chinese dishes! Certified by authentic Chinese. More than tasty, even for vegetarians. Interior is spacious and tables are set at reasonable distance so its not as noisy as other Chinese restaurants. Clean, efficient and the staff is very friendly all the way, accommodating and generous. The manager made us a complimentary dessert made of taro wrapped in sugar, which surprised all friends from Asia. Its certainly a wow-experience on ones tiring road trip. Feels like home back in Asia.

Comment: Is this the best Chinese food I’ve ever had? No. Is it the best I’ve had since moving to the Capital district from Queens? Yes.The food was quite good, except it was much too salty, and very oily. As you can see from the pic, the double cooked pork was sitting in a pool of oil.Also, don’t expect your food to come all at once, or even within 5 minutes of each other. We waited 35 minutes for our first dish, Ma Po Tofu. Meanwhile, people at other tables, who were seated after us, had already gotten some of their food. We waited a good 12 minutes for the next dish, twice cooked pork, to arrive. The next table meanwhile had four dishes of food on their table, although they too were seated after us. So although all the wait staff was very nice, I really do wonder if there is some subtle favoritism to Chinese patrons, as mentioned in other reviews.That being said, I’d return here, but I’m also continuing my search for my “go to” Chinese restaurant.

Comment: Saw a few 1-star review here. After reading, the conclusion is that people are use to eating the typical Chinese take-out. The authenic taste here is not for their taste buds.

Comment: I had a wonderful experience at the Northeastern Chinese restaurant, where I tasted a variety of dishes from the region. The Japanese braised tofu was soft and flavorful, with a rich sauce that complemented the rice. The red hot pepper sauce beef was spicy and tender, with a hint of sweetness and vinegar. The fish with tofu was a hearty dish, with a crispy skin and a smooth texture. The pumpkin fried was a pleasant surprise, with a crunchy exterior and a sweet and creamy interior. The chicken crispy fried in small pieces with red spices was a delight, with a crispy coating and a juicy meat. The squid fried was also delicious, with a chewy texture and a savory seasoning. Everything was top of the level, and I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who loves authentic Chinese cuisine.

Friendly staff and quick service.Could use an easier way to scoop noodles, glass noodles might be easier to handle.

Comment: Incredible Sichuan and northern Chinese food. The eggplant with minced pork and tripe and tendon in chili sauce are my favorite, but I’ve never had a bad meal here. Staff is friendly and service is prompt, but keep in mind that this isn’t a typical American style restaurant, so don’t expect to be doted on.

Comment: Rating is for take out, not dine-in experience.I’m a Hong Kong, Cantonese NYC, grandma, moms home cooking eater.This is very Shanghai Chinese food. I’ve noticed they use the same spice in all the dishes I’ve tried here. Maybe a little too much. all their dishes really tastes the same because of this. The spice overpowers the actual taste of the dish. I taste it in the soups, and every meat dish, vegan tofu dishes.

And we do know chinese food, as we worked for a total of 5+ years in China. Food tasted exactly like in Shenyang, Shenzhen, Beijing and Changdu... Highly recommend!

Comment: I have eaten food from here so many times I’ve lost track. First time I dined in. Every time since I’ve gotten take out. The food is phenomenal. And it travels fairly well for take out- even the crispy shrimp. The front of house staff is always nice and considerate. This is not you’re normal American fast food Chinese food. They are legit. I can’t even order from the specials menu because it is all written in Chinese. I recommend the spicy chicken and spicy clams but you really can’t go wrong with any dish.

The owner patiently explain the dishes and his recommendations were delicious. We had the eggplant with minced pork, fried dumplings, meat with onions and cumin, and the lamb with scallions and onions. The serving was abundant so we had left over for a super lunch the next day.We were so glad to have encountered a true gem. We will be back soon.

After all, why would anyone expect to find some authentic Chinese food in this “remote” place? Guess what? It totally beats our expectation! Actually it’s top notch Chinese food! So we dined here again on our way back to Boston!

Comment: So lucky in Albany to have authentic Szechwan food. Tonight was sliced potato and stir fried spicy squid. Spectacular combinations of flavor. The heat of the squid with the cool potato and thin almost shredded texture. Just wonderful. The tea and beer the perfect complement. Efficient and friendly service. Just come and basque in the goodness.

Comment: Hot pot was absolutely incredible. The variety of ingredients was fantastic as well, and not too expensive honestly. Double spicy is the way to go.

Comment: This restaurant has two sections. One is for hot pot dinners and the other is for everything else. This review is about the hot pot dinner offered by this establishment.We arrived at the restaurant at around 7:30 pm, on a Tuesday evening. There were a few dinners in the restaurant,all in their twenties. For some reason we were the only dinners who chose to have a hot pot dinner that night. The hot pot section where we were seated has special tables with hot plates to keep the hot pot container hot. The hot pot container has two baths of liquid. You can choose the “soup” in each bath to be one of two: spicy or not spicy. I recommend to have one of the baths spicy and the other not spicy.We ordered the type of meats, and tofu dishes for the hot pot. These foods are later cooked by the dinners in the hot pot soup. In addition there is a free bar with additional ingredients to choose from. These included a variety of vegetables, fungus, and shrimp and clams.The meat we chose were brought frozen to the table (that is intentional) and were quickly cooked in the hot pot baths. We liked the lamb and beef. We also discovered that the fried tofu and frozen tofu were favorites. The pig intestines were less popular.In addition to the food, a hot pot dinner is a fun activity. You get to cook (and play) with your food. So you should allow at least an hour for this fun activity.The service was fast and courteous.Overall we had a great experience. We will come again soon.

Comment: Stay away from hot pot. Youll enjoy this restaurant if you know what to order: stewed baby chicken w. Chinese mushroom, boiled live fish in hot and spicy sauce, spicy dry pot, house special tofu, steamed chicken w. chili sauce, pan fried spare ribs w. garlic pepper. Be aware, the above recommendations are all hot and spicy dishes.

Comment: They do a very good job with their variety of food. You dont have to like Chinese food to dine here, as they have a nice selection of other foods, from chicken wings to pizza.My only wish is that theyd serve the spinach casserole more often!

Comment: Not sure to give 4 or 5 stars, the food was excellent The service was good, the place was clean except the bathroom ( that is maybe I give it 4 stars) it was a very quite Tuesday afternoon. I hope to come back for dinner sometime. Sorry I have no picture of the food we ordered. We had the pancakes with pork meat and pork pot sticker.

Comment: Great food and attentive service. Dont be afraid to ask the waiter for suggestions. If you are willing to try organ meats make sure you say that. Based on my experience, you may need to reassure them that you are adventurous even though you are ordering in English😀. The hot food is hot (but great) but they will tell you the level. I would be conservative here if you are unsure. I have found some of the dishes not described as hot to have some mild heat, so if you dont like any heat, make sure to ask!

Comment: Always amazing. Family style dishes with authentic flavors and huge portions and equally amazing prices. You get a huge bang for your buck here and the food is just so so good. Anytime were in town we HAVE to eat here. Everyone has their favorite dishes that we cant find anywhere else. This is real Chinese food, not the stuff you get at the buffet or take out. With that being said, try something new and you wont be disappointed! If youre looking for Szechuan anything this is THE place! I recommend the spicy Szechuan pork intestines. Enjoy!

Comment: I love this place.If you come here and order American dishes (e.g., Sesame chicke, general tso’s, or fried rice), you will be disappointed. (Order something boring, you’ll receive something boring.)Order anything else, oh my goodness, it is amazing!If you look at the menu and you don’t know what to order, just ask for a recommendation and let them know what you’re comfortable with. They haven’t steered me wrong yet!If you like Szechuan this is the place to go. And, if you don’t like spicy food, there still so many interesting flavors and dishes to try that will knock your socks off.I also recommend either getting takeout or dining with a group of at least 3 so you can try multiple dishes.This is on my list of top 5 favorite restaurants in Albany.

Comment: This place was a surprising little gem in the Hannaford plaza across from Westgate plaza on Central.Ive never been to China, but the food and atmosphere seemed very authentic. We also happened to be the only non-Chinese guests, which we take as a good sign.Food is served family style on large plates. Order a personal bowl of rice on the side for each person.I enjoyed the Spicy Szechuan Squid. Spicy is a bit of an understatement. With only hot tea to cool my palate, it was difficult to wolf it down. However, the flavor and especially the texture were excellent.The wife had the beef with peppers and onions (I believe). Great sauce and flavor. Our picky daughter even enjoyed it.The menu had a very wide variety of dishes and pictures for everything. Vegetarian options, fish, chicken, beef, and even offal.The hot tea was not filtered, so there were bits and pieces of tea and herbs in the cup. Not sure if that is authentic, but a bit of an annoyance for me.We have driven by dozens of times and never stopped in. Now that we did, we will definitely be back. I will just know to be a little cautious of any menu items that mention the word spicy.

Comment: Best Szechuan Ive found in the area so far. #24 sauteed pork liver, tripe and intestine, #18 BBQ lamb with cumin and #14 crispy chicken with crunchy red pepper are some of my favorites. Takeout portions are generous. Theres also a lunch special with rice and a drink but no soup; I order a to-go hot and sour large and ask them to serve me a cup of it with lunch and so far theyve obliged.

Comment: From Montreal, drove to Albany while on vacation. This restaurant was a pleasant surprise. Walked in here because I didnt want to eat at Popeyes. Its not a pretty place (although the owner told us hes planning to renovate soon). Wasnt expecting much from the food but it was very good. We ordered 3 lunch specials: Kids ordered sesame chicken, General Kho (?) chicken (same as General Tao) and I had the beef with cumin. All the dishes came with white rice. We also ordered some large noodles with beef (what we usually refer to as chow fun in Montreal). The sesame chicken and general tao were the same dish except one had sesame sprinkled on top. But they were good. Kids enjoyed them. I really liked the beef and cumin. The noodles were excellent. Will definitely be coming back here again when visiting Albany. They also make a good bubble tea. Recommended!!!
