38 Best Chinese Restaurants near Ballston Lake

“I went here for the first time today. Small and clean dining area. Not very friendly. I had the crab Rangoons - which were great. Also tried the beef with peppers and onions. The sauce was very bland. It wasn't busy when I was there, a few people coming in and out while I ate. It would have been nice to have a friendly interaction with the staff. I won't go again.“

It's so tasty, I have to inquire if you are using MSG because everything is so tasty. Hopefully you not. Please address this question. Anyway... Delicious food!“

I’ve tried various meals: shrimp lo mein, boneless bbq spareribs, chicken wings, egg rolls, pork fried rice, General tso chicken, sweet and sour chicken, all delicious and fresh! The people that work here are extremely friendly and kind. Portions are a great value for prices. Their homemade duck sauce is my favorite too!“

“Best steamed dumplings I've ever had. :) The wonton soup is also great for whenever I have a cold. The sesame beef is awesome for a Friday dinner, lots of food for plenty of leftovers over the weekend and lovely flavor. Definitely recommend the teriyaki chicken and crab rangoon as well. Always appreciative of the good service and clean environment as well, hope this place stays open for many years to come. <3“

“This is the first time we've ordered from here. We usually go to Ming's in Scotia because they have the best egg rolls and spring rolls but recently looking at their menu their prices have gone up immensely. My son had practice at the high school and we figured we stopped here and get some food on our way back home. After eating their food I'm thinking this might be our new place to go for chinese. We ordered online which was easy. Their prices are very reasonable! I always based my Chinese places on how good their egg rolls taste, and let's say they were really really good and there spring rolls were even better! My son got their cold sesame noodles which he devoured he really liked the sauce and how thick it was, Ming's is usually a little bit more Saucy and they put the sauces and everything on the bottom which Mr Woks was mixed into the noodles so every noodle had sauce on it and you didn't have to mix it through. My husband got the sweet and sour pork and the sweet and sour sauce was delicious and the pork was nice and fresh and crispy. I got wonton soup and I like how the wontons were small and not squishy and the broth was very delicious! Everything we got was fresh and very delicious. I highly recommend this place“

“I got takeout. Overall everything was good. The items that had sweeter sauces like the pork ribs and crab Rangoon were almost sickly sweet. For example the crab Rangoon tasted like it had cheesecake filling. On top of being overly sweet, the pork ribs were overcooked.

The sauce on the orange chicken was so thin it wasn't sticking to the meat. But the meat was nice and crispy.

Dumplings and egg rolls were good as well as the beef with mushroom.“

“So full for so little.

Ordered ahead of time, going with the Sesame Chicken combo and Crab Rangoon, being surprised it was only going to be 10 minutes and even more so that the price was just under $22. Judging by how hefty the bag felt, I was very surprised. Quite the deal.

Back home I found everything packed neatly, and looking real good. The rangoon and egg roll were up first, and both were really hitting the spot. Been a while since I've had some basic fried food, and I was quite happy with it all. After those two I moved onto the chicken, which was ALOT. There was so much meat in that box, my goodness. It was savory, it was heavy, and it filled me up.

I didn't actually get around to finishing the rice just because of how full I got off the chicken, but from what I did sample it was cooked right. Had a lot of meat in it as well, and veggies, I did upgrade to the house special rice which I sure added a lot of things.

Overall, a filling meal, a great price, and the staff on site were friendly and cordial.“

“Best quality Chinese takeout in Schenectady. Fried foods are not soaking in oil. The egg roll I had was nicely deep fried and the wrapper was not soaked in oil! Same with the fried rice and food. Everything tasted like it was cooked with clean oil and not drenched in oil. I would say quality of food is definitely a step above your typical Chinese takeout. Try them out! Highly recommend.“

“I only order from East Wok. The best food around. Everything is fresh and delicious! Pictured is the lunch shrimp in lobster sauce & pork fried rice. I ordered the large container of wonton/ egg drop soup on the side. The lunch portions are large also!“

“Beautiful kind sweet woman, its hard on the soul not to leave a tip here, i always show up after getting my teeth checked because its right on the way, the halal options are so plentiful and it only takes around ten minutes, my whole family loves this place and we show up all the time, as always make sure to leave a small tip and bring some for the whole family!!!

(all this food was only $10.99 btw <3333)“

“It has been a couple of years since I had their food and I was not happy. BUT today I went and got wonton soup and egg roll and boy were they delicious. The place was clean and the man and woman there were very nice. I will be going back there again.“

“I have been ordering take out from the restaurant for years. When my mom was here we used to go occasionally for dinner. I recently made an order from them for an post memorial service gathering at my home. They prepared a delicious platter of all of the things we ordered and which everyone truly enjoyed. Amy was terrific. We had arrived at the house quite a bit earlier than anticipated and she was able to have the order ready a earlier which we very much appreciated.
Thank you Amy and staff of Hunan Wok!“

“A bunch of us picked up take out / 2 Poopoo platters , 9 combo platter Lomein, fried rice, soups
Everything was very good, we pre ordered at 10:30 am on Beyond Menu App for a 1pm pickup.
Everything done in Hunan style, the shrimp toast were delicious.“

“We’ve ordered from this Chinese restaurant quite a few times, and my family has been eating here for 10 years!

The food is always great, the servings are beautifully large, and I’ve never had a bad experience with them. They’re so quick with the order too! And apparently, in all 10 years, they’ve never messed up an order. Some of our favorite items: Hunan chicken, boneless spare ribs, egg rolls, General Tso, and pork dumplings.“

“Ignore the one-star reviews. They’re all making up fake problems.
Many complain about rude service. Its not rude, its just not fake-friendly like American service is because the staff are not American. Also, they’re way too busy to stand around asking how your day is. In my last visit, a cook personally came out into the front area to ask if I wanted pork or veg for the free egg roll that came with my order. I appreciated that.
Someone complained that the fryer oil hadn’t been changed in a month. How do you know? They do not have an open kitchen. Did you go in the back and check it yourself?
Someone complained the charge for sauce packets. They in fact have a tray full of different sauces on the counter that anyone can take.

Ignore the bored people who need to make up problems so they have something to complain about. This is the most consistently excellent Chinese takeout in Schenectady and I’ve been a loyal customer for years.“

“great tasty food,thanks“

“WOAH how to they have 3.9 stars?! I have been eating here since high school, over 15 years ago. We have tried every other chinese restaurant in Rotterdam and the surrounding areas and have yet to find better food. If you haven't tried them because of their reviews - ignore that!“

“Best place ever!!!!! Husband was going through it with an accident and still helped!! Such a loyal customer and LOVE their food please go!!! Defitily a FIVE STAR !!!!!!!“

“Food is about as good as it gets for Americanized Chinese food. Store needs a facelift but don’t think that means the food isn’t great.

Parking: There is always parking in this lot as there are other businesses next door that also have spots available. The entire lot is usually only about 30% full.“

“Highly recomend comming here.
I see a lot of mixed reviews but
I really like there food the sesame chicken Is spicy, I asked no spice. They provided!! Great taste. The shrimp fried rice is great!! They understood fully what I wanted fast and simple. Stright to the point. The crabrangoons are not greasey at all and are TO DIE FORE!!

Edit:
The broccoli was cooked perfect and not soggy at all. Perfect crunch

Prices are not cheap and not too expensive either, its in the middle.
Deffenlty would come back!!!“

“Best vegetable egg rolls in town, orders are always correct, friendly drivers. Plus today they sent a beautiful 2020 calendar with my delivery order :) But the font was difficult to read so it made it difficult for the poor driver to find my house. He was very nice though.“

“Love their chicken and broccoli !! Great Service !!“

Food is absolutely wonderful and made with care. Will be frequenting this family establishment more over the coming years for the down to earth and positive attitude and good service and great food.

“It was late Saturday afternoon and I decided to treat myself. I ordered the house special fried rice and a pork egg roll. Deee-Licious! And it made me happy if that’s possible! To top it off my fortune was “Embrace the joy of simple pleasures this Saturday”. Wow.“

“Will be back! Amazing!“

“We are regular customers, but tonight's dinner was extra delicious!! We are really impressed with the freshness and had to leave a positive review. We ordered:
-sweet and sour chicken: it was super crispy and a good portion of chicken inside
-garlic chicken: fresh vegetables, all white meat, broccoli cooked perfectly
-house mei fun: packed to the brim and flavorful
-sweet and sour spare ribs: these were restaurant quality!! we got a small order and there were 6 huge ribs inside, fresh and the sauce was incredible
-fried rice: tons of fresh vegetables inside and the rice was cooked perfectly!!
-eggrolls: best egg rolls ive had in a while... they were totally full inside (not just doughy) and crispy on the outside. I could taste the ginger inside too which was delicious.

I hope the next customer has as great of a dinner as we did tonight. Will surely be back!“

“This is my favorite Chinese fast food place. The stuff I’ve had reminds me of China Town, the pork chow fun is particularly good. Great hot and sour soup and the golden chicken fingers are addicting. House special fried rice is everything. Very friendly staff and speedy, courteous delivery drivers. I feel like family ❤️“

“My husband likes this place so we do go here maybe a couple times a month lately. The food has been good and the service has been good, but I have been there when the service has not been good where I paid by credit card and she didn’t see no tip on the credit card and she said to me no tip, which I usually always give a tip in cash. I still gave them a tip, but to tell the truth, I didn’t want to give them anything. After that statement.
Went here again yesterday, and again hovering over us to see if we were leaving a tip.“

“Ming’s is my family’s favorite! Quick and friendly service, wide variety on the menu, and the food is fresh and tasty. A+!“
