“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.“

“This Chinese restaurant has some of the best food I’ve had out of all the Chinese places I’ve been to. Their Lo Mein especially is so delicious. If you ask for white meat chicken in meals like the General Tso’s or Sesame chicken meals, it will make your experience even more awesome. This is a nice family who runs this restaurant and they always answer the phone quickly and are easy to communicate with. I’m happy to have this place close to my house 😊👍“

“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.“

“This is the only chinese takeout place i trust. Incredibly reasonable prices, the most generous portions in the area, and consistently fantastic egg rolls and fried wontons. i personally love the boneless spare ribs the most! (also one of the only places in this area that puts beansprouts in the fried rice, so delicious!)
its also very telling that the only badmouthing ive seen is because of chicken that someone claimed was overcooked after they knowingly left it in the container tightly packed into a sealed bag for like an hour before eating it, which would obviously leave anything inside overcooked from trapped residual heat.“

“I’ve grown up with A Dragon being one of my favorite local Chinese food places. Last night, my family and I moved back to Brunswick and ordered (admittedly last minute) some food for diner after a long day of being in the heat. DELICIOUS!!! Service was super quick and they were friendly over the phone. They found our apartment easily and everything in our order was correct. Will definitely be ordering from again.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Back in town and staying at the Hilton by the airport. Craving Chinese but lacking the local knowledge of what’s good, I rolled the dice on Great Ming’s Wok and hit the jackpot.
Ordered three entree’s and fried dumplings and was told it would arrive in 45 minutes. It arrived right on time and each dish was amazing. I don’t think you’re going to find better prices anywhere. Certainly not at this quality. It isn’t a matter of would I suggest this place to a friend, but rather when will I..“

“Wow! Most Chinese takeout is all the same. But whatever these guys are doing has kicked out up a notch. The chicken was hot and crispy yet tender, the sauces were flavorful, crab Rangoon were excellent! Well done. It looks like there might be a couple tables to sit at, but the atmosphere is takeout friendly. There is only street parking.“

“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.“

“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🫶🏽“
“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!“

“I love this place the only Chinese food restaurant in the area that’s worth going too. Been coming here since I was a wee boy and I grew big in strong from the result of their nutritional cooking. 6’5” 250 lbs of muscle btw. Seriously tho I love this place.“

“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“

“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!“

“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

“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.“

“Only 20 years of experience eating at Gold Coin. I grew up with a paper route on 6th Ave in Highland park. I had it all planned out. I would deliver my papers up one side of the street, and then ride over to gold coin and order my shrimp with lobster sauce. Omg that was 4-5 days a week. That was the best dinner on the planet. Still no restaurant on this planet can come close to the taste and flavor. Then I would deliver to the other side of 6th ave, only to grab my dinner and eat it on my bicycle on the way home.
Gold coin is a memory of mine with the most amazing food. I haven't eaten there since they we on 6th Ave in Highland Park. To those that have the pleasure of eating the amazing food, your lucky and enjoy.“

“Ok; IF you want REAL CHINESE FOOD GET HERE!
Because they have the best General Tso chicken if you’re not a big spicy lover like myself. It’s not spicy. But sweet and perfect as it should be. Just the smell is Devine. It’s my new drug.
Sweet and sour chicken bam perfect. Sauce? Amazing.
They’re so friendly; and quick too. Usually always arriving early unless they’re slammed. I’ve seen a lot of Chinese food places changing their foods up but this place is the old school authentic real Chinese food you had as a kid.
Just ask for chopsticks or the mustard; sometimes they run out which happens.
But the staff is super nice and friendly. They have the website you can order from.
Been ordering from here the last two years now. I’d say this is the best place for Chinese especially in Troy NY. Maybe even around. Haven’t tried Chinatown yet but hopefully in my future. So pop on by. Give em a try. They’re so on it too; if you say no mushrooms. You get no mushrooms. Sure food costs gone up but it’s worth the price“

“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?
Dietary restrictions: Food can be cooked according to personal requirements
Kid-friendliness: yes“

“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.“
“The only place open late for Chinese food so happily drove from Clifton Park. Delicious food although ordering online was a tad confusing as I thought I ordered the udon noodle dinner and it ended up being a soup which was still good. Would order “
