“I’ve been having food from here since before I can remember. Probably around 20-30 years? The food is ALWAYS consistent and amazing. Our entire family on both sides love this place. The family that operates the place are some of the sweetest people in town. My folks from my generation that moved away still talks about how much they miss My Place and Great Wall 🤣😂!
Anyway, love this place forever.“

“I ordered a Spicy Salmon roll and a Philadelphia roll. They were excellent. Also ordered some wonton soup and shrimp spring rolls. Wonton filling was a little fattier than I like, but everything was good. Definitely ordering sushi from here again.“

“Compared to all the other Chinese around Latham that are not great at all golden house was the best BY far we ever had ! I am glad we stumbled upon them ! Everything was flavorful the crab ragoon was actually stuffed with more than a 1/2 teaspoon of filling ! The sesame chicken was not overcooked and the Mongolian beef was very flavorful , yes a lot of onions but I like it that way ! For the price it for sure was amazing rather than spending 100 on yangs( love their sushi) or anywhere around for mid/ overcooked no flavor . I would order again for sure ! And the house “cow mein” delish! The delivery driver so nice and fast !“

“No complaints!!! My food tasted very fresh and flavorful. Wait was not long at all and the price was reasonable as well. There were equal parts meat and rice in the combination platter. Sorry for no photo, I was too hungry lol! Only reason I’m not giving 5 stars is because I’m saving my 5 star rating for something out of this world. I will be back here for sure.“

“We made a spare of the moment decision as we were driving by to check it out. Can honestly say we were not expecting it to be as good as it was. They have authentic Chinese food on their menu along with American style. My husband ordered authentic and I had Hibachi.. no complaints.. flavors, presentation, portion sizes, service, all great! Even the prices are reasonable. Worth a visit for sure.“

“Ordered food delivered for five people this evening. Selections were cold, sesame noodles, shrimp, eggroll, eggplant, garlic sauce, sesame, tofu, vegetable mushu, shrimp, chow mein, and vegetable fried rice. Everything arrived hot and I think they are now my favorite take out Chinese in the area. Normally eggplant and garlic sauce is dripping with oil. This was not. Ditto for the tofu. There are slight extra charges for things such as putting egg in the vegetable fried rice, but it is made the way we asked it to be made, and the delivery was quick and accurate. much better than using an online ordering app. I think the restaurant makes it better with direct ordering and we did too. This will be our go to rather than the two or three others in the immediate area.“

“I ordered delivery because they were one of the few places that allowed online payment. It came through mealeo, even sooner than expected. They handed it to me through the door. Tried some new things like Chop Suey and Buddha's delight. Everything is super solid and delicious, lots of sauce. I like their take on Dragon & Phoenix (called Double Wonder, pictured), it actually makes more sense as the shrimp is spicy too. The egg drop won ton soup was prepared perfectly as well. And the spring rolls... Are spring rolls!“

“Best food around. I’ve been getting food from here weekly since before the pandemic started. I highly recommend this restaurant. The workers are the sweetest, the prices are great, the food is high quality and delicious!“
“Absolutely love them here! My family will frequently request a visit to the mall food court solely for the purpose of grabbing a delicious meal here! The ladies who are usually at the counter are always super friendly and always greet us with a smile! My son refuses to eat Chinese food anywhere but here and is always his 1st choice!“

“Best pork dumplings (and dumpling sauce) ever. The vegetable dumplings are also very flavorful. The ramen is solid too. Highly recommend the peach jasmine iced tea. It’s an explosion of peach flavor with actual peaches in it and it’s sooooo good.“

“The best Chinese in Albany NY! Never in my life have I experienced such quality Chinese food. Delicious beef & fresh chicken. Seriously the meat here is noticeably better than other Chinese restaurants. The owner & the staff are very friendly. They keep the place very clean and orderly. The Chinese food I ate tonight was quite literally the best I’ve ever had in my entire life. THANK YOU!“

“I ordered chicken lo mein, crab Rangoon while my friend had the beef and broccoli with white rice. OMG the crab Rangoon was nice and crunchy and not too thick like other restaurants. The Lo mein was hot hot and so delicious. lol I wasn’t able to take a picture of the beef and broccoli as everything was gone so fast(they inhaled it). Very delicious, I was super surprised at how fast the food came and how well packaged it was. They give you this cute little insulated bag and the silverware was also packaged separately and the packed it so well. It’s the little things we appreciate but if you want good quality Chinese food I promise you will be full and happy here! Thank you amazing Wok🫶🏽“

“Fast delivery, especially for a Saturday. Lunch specials are generous. To the people who say the tariffs made their price to high, new no 1 has lower prices than many others in the area.
The fried rice was great in my lunchtime order, definitely not dry.
I won't name names, but I see reviews that have 1 star on atmosphere, appeared to have been delivery. Maybe you meant your own space (where you consumed the food) has a terrible atmosphere?
I also won't name my regular Chinese restaurant's name either, it is safe to say that I now have switched to new. No 1

“The owners are hardworking, nice & understanding. It's a family run business. One time, I temporarily misplaced my wallet (down the chute in between the door and car seat) and they still let me have my food order with the promise of paying the next day. Food is great; a variety of veggies like zucchini for vegetarians. It's flavorful, sauses aren't overly corn starched. It may look a little rough around the edges, the plaza is past it's prime, but out of the other options in Watervliet, Colonie, Troy, Latham. This and New Panda in Latham are my go-tos“

“Stopped by the restaurant on my way back to the hotel. The person behind the counter was very friendly but not overly helpful as this was the first time in the store. Got the General Tsao and ribs. Both were delicious and there was enough for the next day lunch too. Wonton soup is really good. I recommend this place.“

“Double dragon has dominated the Chinese food market in all of the 518 for like the last 20 years for a reason. Literally won’t go anywhere else for general tsos… their general tso chicken is what general tso chicken SHOULD taste like. Also if you haven’t had double dragon yet and live in the 518 then chances are you 100% live under a rock and I pity you.“

“I always thought that only good and delicious food can be made in big cities... The cooking in this small town restaurant has the taste of a big city. Some of the food is even more delicious than restaurants in big cities. Every order is delicious It can be finished quickly. It's really great. I will subscribe again. And recommend friends who like Chinese food to try this Chinese restaurant cooking for hao wei?

“We were at Shogun today and had a great experience! The service was excellent — our waitress was very professional and kind. She even brought a strawberry as a little gift for our daughter, which was such a sweet gesture. The food was fresh and very tasty. They also have a full bar, and it’s kids-friendly, making it a great spot for families. Definitely recommend!“

“Quintessential Chinese takeout. Enjoyed all that we got: orange chicken, general Tsos, fry donuts, and veggie lo mein. The lo mein was a bit on the smokey side. If you're in the mood for this type of Chinese food, this fits the bill perfectly and at a good price.“

“This place is good as hell and people are simply ordering the wrong dishes- the lunch special spareribs are less than $12, the pork fried rice is solid, and the crab rangoons are some of the best in the area.
The incompetency of delivery apps and waiting two hours for “ice cold food” is entirely your own fault, as I have both eaten in and taken out and had no issues with food poisoning or the temperature of the food. Take your anger out on the corporations mishandling your food, not the small, family owned businesses.“

“Really glad to have Empire Wok so close to home here in Delmar. I'm in Glenmont but it's only 5 minutes away. The food is delicious and the service was very friendly to me and my girl. We ordered BBQ spare ribs with pork fried rice and chicken wings with pork fried rice (no veggies). Both were fresh, tasty, and hit the spot. I used to order Chinese food a lot in the Bronx, so it’s great to finally have a place nearby that’s just as good. Definitely recommend!“
