Possibly the best soup dumplings (xiao long bao) I've had outside of NYC or LA, rest of the food is awesome as well.

I have long looked for a good Shanghainese restaurant in upstate NY. I was accustomed to exceptional food when I lived in Brooklyn and frequented Mott street. I have been wanting to try Hu’s House for a while and glad I finally did.
Tonight I ordered takeout, and I got the beef, scallion, pancakes, soupy, steamed pork juicy bun, & Yang Zhou fried rice. If you asked me if this is the best I’ve ever had, I say no, but…this is the best I’ve had in upstate NY. I can’t wait to try other dishes to see if they are just as good and don’t have to “eat” my words 🤣

Great service and amazing food. Edit: Coming back 6 years after my first review to give Hu's House more stars. This has become our favorite restaurant, we live an hour and a half away and make it a point to go there whenever we're passing by Albany. The pork juicy buns are the best I've had on the east coast, the crispy shredded beef is the perfect amount of sauce and still crispy, and the Hu's fried rice is something I keep trying to copy at home but I can never get it quite as perfect.

All is great but I was still shocked by how much oil they put in steamed fish😱 it doesn’t make even a tiny sense why they love adding that much oil to their steamed dishes??????? I wonder why, and I want to know why😱😱 I am a Chinese, and now I am totally disappointed about Chinese food in this area. Why adding heavy oil could even happen to steamed dishes???? And also, there IS NO WATER in this place???????? NO WATER For their salty dishes😱😱😱😱 my experience there was like a HELL

Authentic, delicious, lovely family-run restaurant. They’re the real deal. We’ll be back next time we’re in town.

No rice with entrees, no soy or mustard or fortune cookies, the dry chili chicken was inedible. More salt than chicken. The scallion pancakes were lacking scallion. 60 bones wasted maybe I should have ordered the bullfrog. The wait person was nice!

Very good service, very very mediocre food but I only had two items. Very extensive menu; however, I won't be returning to try out the other items considering how many other excellent Asian restaurants there are in the area.
Authentic Shanghainese cuisine! Our meal was excellent! We started off with hot and sour soup, family style. It was a great balance of flavors and ingredients! Spicy wontons came with 10 pieces, drenched in spicy chilli sauce!!! They were soooo good! Pork soup dumplings were delicious. The wrappers were thin and chewy! None of them broke as we picked them up from the steamer! First bite into it, the soup was bursting out and temperature hot! Vegetarian duck - tofu skin wrapped with mushrooms and carrots and maybe bamboo shoots! They were served cold! Delicious appetizer!! Fish fillet with sweet and sour sauce, crispy exterior layers and nice flaky fish texture! We loved it! sautéed pea shoots with garlic was really fresh and delicious! Chicken and chestnut stews- portion was small but the sauce was yummy! Overall this dish was just ok! Salted egg yolk shrimps were excellent! Totally recommended! Stir fry Rice cake with mustard greens was sooo good! I Didn't even get to take a pic! But we cleaned the plate!!! The texture of the rice cake was perfect! Chewy like mochi and it soaked up all the flavor from the sauce! Overall, the servers were friendly and helpful! The restaurant was a little run down but the round table seatings were somewhat comfortable!

Absolutely fantastic food! The xiaolongbao (soup dumplings) are phenomenal, rich and flavorful broth! All the dishes we tried where spot on and amazing quality. The service and atmosphere is friendly and inviting! We will definitely be coming back over and over again!

I have not found, and I can't stress this enough, a single place in this entire area over the last 4 years that can actually make real soup dumplings. I don't care how to know how these guys make them in 15 - 20 minutes, but they do. They're too spec, and I call in just to pick them up for lunch while I'm out.
12/10 best place for genuine food and you can tell since they don't let the cook out of the kitchen

Hands down one of the best most authentic in the capital region and I’m sorry but whoever disagrees does not know what true authentic food taste like. Been going almost every other week since I first tried them out.
