37 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.“

“We ordered two meals for take out . The absolutely best I have ever had ! Fresh vegetables , large portions . Definitely will be going back .“

“I do not pretend to understand the culture, the history, or the ancient wisdom behind this food. I only know this. I ordered it hungry and emerged changed. The General Tso’s hit like a warm hug from a very confident aunt who does not ask questions. The rice showed up doing exactly what rice should do and doing it with pride. Portions were generous in a “you will not need a snack later” kind of way. This is not trendy food. This is dependable, soul stabilizing, late night decision affirming Chinese food. I will be back. Possibly too often.“

“It’s some of the best Chinese food I have ever had in all honesty. Nothing I have had in the area can compare.“

“My wife and I went here for the first time. The staff was great. The food was exceptional. Some of the best Chinese food I’ve had any where. Will certainly go again.“

“Menu has plenty of options, food is delicious, and staff are patient and friendly. Great experience! Highly recommend - will definitely be back!“

“Been eating here since I was a kid and it has been and all ways will be best Chinese restaurant in saratoga county. Dishes still as fresh and delicious as ever. Prices are extremely fair. Food is cooked to order. Staff is very attentive and welcoming.“

“This is my absolute favorite Chinese food spot in the area. 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!“

“They have a great combination plate for lunches for under $10. They have all kinds of stuff on their menu and they give you a nice variety and nice amount of food for the price. They also include either a soda, wonton soup, or egg roll with your lunch included in that price. It's hard to even find a decent meal anywhere for under $10. So I was very pleased and the food was delicious.“

“Mr. Wok is our local Chinese take-out restaurant. (They do have a couple of tables for people who might want to eat in, but, as far as I know, there is no table service. In addition, the atmosphere is basic "take-out," not "eat-in." \n\nThey have a large selection of dishes, including some low-sodium options. My wife and I have always found their food to be very good. Their service is fast, and the staff is always friendly.“

“This restaurant seems to be run by the next generation rather than the old school Asian restaurants. The staff is very upbeat and the food is delicious, not greasy like so many other restaurants. 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!“

“Boneless spare ribs were succulent and cooked perfectly. Rice was cooked moist and defined. Overall I’d give my boneless spare rib combo 5 out of 5! !!! Id recommend this restaurant hands down !!!!! I work hard for my money. And they have exceeded my
Expectations. My mom used to order form her. And being her son I also order from her as well. Thanks to the owner who’s always hospitable and I’d recommend this establishment anytime you need comforting Chinese food. They are an American Chinese place of business. 👍🏻“

“East Wok is a great example of a takeout Chinese restaurant that doesn’t cut corners. In a category where overly salty or heavy flavors are often used as an easy way to please, this place delivers bold, satisfying dishes without leaning on that shortcut.

The flavors are balanced and thoughtfully prepared, which makes East Wok something even better: a place you can come back to regularly. It’s not just a once-in-a-while treat — it’s solid, everyday-good food.

On top of that, the value is excellent. Portions are generous, and it feels slightly more affordable than many similar spots.
Definitely one of the more dependable takeout options I’ve come across.“

“We just moved to the area and have tried many different Asian cuisines. Tai pan was the best priced and the quality of the sesame chicken outshined all the other restaurants near by. The mei fun was super good too. The crab wontons were super fresh and not heavy in fried wrapper. The balance was perfect. One complaint was not enough white rice but that’s an easy fix for next time and didn’t take away from the experience. My husband got the red curry with no to lite spice and they made it just right. We did take away and plan for this to be our go to spot going forward.

PS - make it so you can order springs rolls on your website :) I only see it as an add on in the combos“

“They’re deserving of the positive feedback they get here. Small yes, however the flavorful food makes up for the size of the restaurant. My wife loves the crab ragoon and rices. I’ve eaten a couple of the noodle dishes and we always have roasted pork rolls. Everything tastes great and they’re nice people.“

“My child orders the sweet chicken and chicken breast every week. They're freshly cooked every morning, and my child especially loves the chicken breast. Rice noodles are my favorite, and cheese wontons are a must. The wait can be a bit long during peak dinner hours, but I understand. They put their heart into their work. I'm so grateful to have met Ming here.“

“great tasty food,thanks“

“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.“

“The food is very amazing, portions are large, the price is fair. They have a lot of options and you can choose what you want in your order even if it’s not on display in front of the restaurant. For example you can ask for dumplings, shrimp broccoli, beef broccoli, chicken vegetable, and sweet and sour chicken. Cheese wonton and lots more. Waiting about 8-10 minutes. They make fresh for you. 👍“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“I think that when people order from a restaurant, they want the same food that they had last time, especially if they order the same dish. Mings has the most consistent quality of any restaurant I know. The food is always great and always cooked the way you like it. Their ribs are especially delicious and the fried rice has no peas (which I hate). I have been ordering from Mings for at least 15 years, and I still order from them at least 3 times a month because I just love the food. The staff is very nice and friendly and their service is very quick and top notch. I highly recommend this restaurant, you won't be disappointed.“

“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!“

“Most amazing service, we got turned around to the other location and she called to check up and we unfortunately got there a little late but she waited and even gave us a soda to go along when we tried to tip for the amazing appreciation and 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.

Dietary restrictions: Easily customized and easily made

Parking: Lots of room for the cozy shop“

“It is not usual these days for a company to correct Something a customer is not satisfied with taste of China Has proven me wrong. They have done their best to make sure that me and My Son have a good meal. I appreciate the effort. I appreciate the correction. Taste of China is one of a kind.“

“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 ❤️“

“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!“
