Great soups and ur usual greasy stir fry Chinese. But the setting is solid and service is great! Enjoyable experience, nonetheless.

We had a long drive and we wanted something hot and delicious. The food was so delicious. And the price was great. We had Mapu tofu, kun pao chicken, spicy noodle, twice cook pork, Lo Mein. All the food was super good.

Do not go here! There was a rock in my food, luckily I didn’t chip my tooth when biting into my food.

We decided to give SHU a try based on ratings and their menu, which included some favorite dishes we haven't been able to find since moving to Western Massachusetts. Unfortunately for us, we found most of the things we ordered to be average or disappointing. In some cases, it could be a matter of personal taste (Ma Po Tofu in a light curry sauce?), but most dishes were flawed on some level. Dry sautéed string beans were watery and limp; wontons in chili sauce were pleasant, but the "chili sauce" was more like a weak, watery broth; Yong Chow fried rice was obviously made with frozen mixed vegetables; the meat was tough in twice-cooked pork. Rather than satisfy our cravings for some favorite dishes, we instead found another restaurant to strike off our list of possibilities.

The worst won ton soup I have ever had, the broth is dark brown and oversalted. No combination platters are offered...very disappointing..will not eat from there again!

The absolute best Chinese food and not American Chinese food that you get at other Chinese restaurants. This is real authentic Chinese cuisine and there's nothing like it

Great spot for takeout, with both traditional and American style dishes. Standouts include Cumin Beef (spicy!), Vegetable Mai Fun (thin noodles chock full of fresh veggies), Dry Fried String Beans (very flavorful with garlic and ginger), General Tso’s Chicken, and Scallion Pancakes (dipping sauce is great). Some complaints on here about service, but I’ve always found them to be friendly and efficient.

I really hate to leave a bad review of a small locally owned restaurant, but I need to. This restaurant was one of the few open on a holiday evening. Their staffing was ridiculously low. It took a LONG time to get questions about the menu answered and then another long time to order. Our ordering was interrupted by her having to leave to take care of take out customers.

There were no alcoholic drinks available as there was no bartender working.

The menu is very extensive and has more of what I would call “authentic” Chinese dishes. There is even an “American Chinese food” section of the menu. The food was all good and plenty of choices for vegetarian/vegans. The shrimp and mixed vegetables contained a lot of fresh vegetables and not the usual canned mushrooms and a limited amount of vegetables.

Our table was never checked on, water not refilled, and the check took a LONG time as well.

To be fair, we should give it another try but in my mind if you are open on a holiday, you should be staffed to give proper service on a holiday.

Complete cluster and awful business.
Ordered and paid on line and went to pick up. They gave my food to wrong person. They argued with me that a boy picked it up and I don't have any kids.$50 worth of food.
She refused to refund me stating that I was lying. It was only after they got a phone call stating they got the wrong order that I
eventually did get a refund. No apologies. They wanted me to wait for the other person to return the food. It is amazing. I did not end up in Albany county jail.
No wonder 2 people are there
