Great place to have a family dinner. Food comes out hot and quick. Prices aren't bad either.

The food wasn’t bad but the amount for the money was pathetic. I agree with one reviewer that said - this isn’t something that you can’t get a take-out place. Greeter unfriendly, waiter not too bad, but a general down in the mouth like atmosphere with other servers. Looks like no one really wanted to work that day. We came in for a lunch special and foolishly went by an old on-line menu when we saw the menu at the restaurant it $8 more for the same thing. Also we were seated by the server’s station and felt like the we were being hovered over. No privacy. Nope not for us.

I have been gone from the northeast for 30 years. It was refreshing to enjoy good old fashioned Chinese food. Brought back childhood memories.

Mr. E.
This place has single handedly redefined for me what a great Chinese restaurant is. To say that I was pleased is an understatement.
To start out with, upon sitting down in a dining room that looks absolutely vintage, we were presented with a large pot of tea and those fried cracker things you dip in duck sauce. This courtesy is something that's been missing for the last 20+ years. Most of the time, you'll need to order the tea; it costs extra and is typicly just a teabag in a cup. Here it is a full pot, nice and hot.
Another amazing thing is that they actually waited for us to finish our appetizers before bringing out the entrée. When you go to a lot of places, they sort of rush you by bringing out everything in short order. But not here. Here it was like a civilized meal where you felt like you could eat at your own pace, and not have to worry about cutting the conversation short just to scarf your food so the table doesn't become too crowded.
The food itself was amazing. While the General Tzo's was not too spicy, it was extraordinarily flavorful, as was everything else they served. Every dish I tried was great. The fried food wasn't too fried, and the portions were fantastic.
The seating was very comfortable.
The service was exemplary. They were on top of everything, from refilling the waters to the effortless way they served everything and cleared the extra plates with great haste.
The only thing I didn't care for was the fortune cookie at the end. Not only was it a little stale, but the fortune was lousy. Though I'm not going to blame them for that.
Vegetarian options: There were a lot of vegetarian dishes available, and everything tasted great. A lot of the dishes that had meat in them could be ordered with no meat.
Dietary restrictions: It's advisable to mention any restrictions you have with the waitstaff before placing your order.
Parking: Lots of free parking surrounding the building.
Kid-friendliness: As long as they behave themselves, you won't get any dirty looks. And what kid doesn't like Chineese?
Wheelchair accessibility: Very accessible dining area and parking.

From San Francisco and having spent an enormous percentage of my life wandering China and on the lookout for good Chinese food I am frequently disappointed. But not tonight. Koi on Route 9 in Halfmoon was excellent. Steven Leibo PhD. Retired Professor of Asian Studies.
Food was delicious. We got the chicken wings and the vegetable fried rice and it was phenomenal.

My favorite dine in Chinese food place. The Food is always really good. It is a “cleaner” tasting Chinese than our local hole in the wall place. The wonton soup has a great broth, not dark. The scallion pancakes are hard to get in NY. So we always get them while here.
