The Amazing Wok has been a go-to for me for 30+ years, including the four years I lived above the place in the early 90s when I ate from there many nights of the week. The food is always dependable, the service is quick and friendly, the veggies are always fresh, the sauces are great, and my kids tell me the dumplings are as good or better than anywhere. I’m a vegetarian and their bean curd homestyle is best I’ve found, and that’s the dish I order everywhere I go (I wish they’d give me the recipe). Not fancy, but totally solid and recommended.

I'm in Albany on a business trip and stumbled by this place driving by. I stopped in and ordered some wings and pork fried rice. I must say it took me back to my favorite chinese spot in Jerz. Thank you.

It's a solid Chinese restaurant with reasonable prices. Some of the chicken was quite hard, and I enjoyed it fresh as soon as I got it.the food was well packaged

Haven’t ordered from here in a while, but in reading more recent reviews, they’ve gotten excellent reviews so I decided to go for it, and food was delicious. Tender ribs with meat on them, and pork fried rice was flavorful!! Keep up the good work AW!! Kudos!

I've eaten here about 10 times since I moved to Albany back in October. They're one of the best Chinese food places around as long as you have realistic expectations about what kind of place this is. It's the local Chinese food place that every town/city seems to have, the one you look for because it always exists and you always find something you like. Peking in Amsterdam, NY and Hop Po in Allentown, PA are other great examples of what I'm looking for when I'm looking for some good Chinese food in a decent price range.
If you come here looking for a fancy 5-star restaurant you're looking at the wrong place. If you come here looking for some good eats made by people in your community, then you're doing it right.
The food is always done fast and they're always great with giving you the sauce and utensils you need.
I suggest the Fried Wontons, Pork Steam Dumplings, as well as the Pork Egg Roll. Their General Tso's is also very tasty.

I just moved to Albany and the first couple Chinese places I tried had me worried I wasn’t going to find a good local spot. Amazing Wok finally hit all my boxes with delicious fresh food at a price you can’t beat. Crab Rangoon is so flavorful, fried shrimp is plentiful, and sweet/sour chicken is meaty and juicy! Can’t wait to try the rest of the menu!

This place has been around for ages, beef and broccoli are still good. Last visit the chicken wings were not crispy and very greasy.

I requested no onions in one of my plates and got extra onions. The chicken was dry and I hard. They use to be good
Amazing Wok is consistent with quality and Taste, they offer more options than a lot of Chinese restaurants. They have become a go to for me.

For several years it’s been the same story, we call and are told they don’t deliver to us. We remind them they deliver to us regularly, they say ok, and deliver! Last night we had enough, they were rude, argumentative and while the food is good, it’s no better than average so we’ll never call again. We did try NEW #1 CHINESE ON DELAWARE AVE and it was much better, delish, try it and pass on this nonsense!

Food is HORRIBLE, how do you mess up basic dishes. Spent 65 bucks and had to throw the food away because of how horrible it was
