50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Rensselaer

“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.“

“We went by to get a takeaway. It was quite cold outside, but the owner was very kind and offered us to wait inside and even brought us tea to warm us up while we waited. He was very considerate of our needs.
The food was good and portion sizes were large. Plenty of rice with the dishes as well. The spice level was good, a little zing to it without blowing your head off. I would get it again!“

“I just hate when the older guy sees me and says fried chicken fried hard and pork fried rice makes me feel some kind of I like when the other gentleman is there he has glass next time I go there I'm gonna get his name because he is professional and always good to see and will break the menu down and work with you especially when getting certain items and he will make sure and say hey get it this way and I will work with you“

Parking: Limited parking out front and in the sides

Wheelchair accessibility: Firsts floor only.“

“The food is so delicious at a great price. I always get the chicken with broccoli, crab rangoons and side of sweet and sour sauce. The chicken and broccoli is always fresh and not greasy at all, the crab Rangoons are crispy any creamy and the sweet and sour sauce is the best I’ve had. On top of that, the service is wonderful!“

“I usually order from Chinese sit down restaurants because I've had bad experiences with some Chinese take out spots. But this place is the expectation!I was blown away by the general saus chicken, crab rangoons, and boneless spare ribs. Everything was super fresh and quality. The ideal Chinese take out spot. The classic style, at a good price, with more quality then other places. I don't even mind driving out of town for it.

Parking: Plaza parking on the side“

“I went in for a take out lunch.No call ahead, so I waited for its preparation. It was my first time there.The service was quick, the young man who took my order was pleasant, the menu had what I wanted and the lunch specials were priced well. Unfortunately I ordered chicken and eggplant in garlic sauce and when I got it home discovered that there was no eggplant in my dish. It was good, as was the spring rolls and sesame chicken dinner, but it was a disappointment for me not to get what I wanted. I will probably go back and try again at some point since the food was tasty.“

“My three-year old said she was thirsty on the walk to Great Wall and I told her we could get a bottle of water at the restaurant, forgetting I had paid online and left my wallet at home. The man at the counter heard me trying to explain this to my disappointed toddler and very graciously gifted us the bottle. 10/10, would recommend. Food was good too.“

“Always quick and fast service. If you get their menu and order over a certain amount they will give you some free food, check it out!

Vegetarian options: Lots of veggie options, can order most any meal with no meat

Parking: Shared parking lot so lots of spots to park“

“Just moved to this area and wanted some vegan Chinese. I was excited to find this place! They have a whole separate menu for vegans. I got the veggie lo mein and the veggie “chicken” hunan style. I am not big on fake meat, but this was tasty! I haven’t had lo mein in so long, and was glad to be able to get it.“

“Good food at a good price :) the staff were nice and the chef was sweet she brought out a soup for me in only a couple minutes because I realized I forgot to add it to my pickup order when I placed the call. Cute patio seating area out front but there’s actually a decent amount of seating inside too.“

“Very busy and on point !!! The people who rate them low clearly don’t understand the food industry! You move fast and efficiently! They make great food and fast ! I love ordering from this location and love the fresh ingredients! Continuing doing what you do !“

“Never have had a bad meal from there. We get lunch from there once a week and everything has been amazing. Best sweet potato sushi ever! The beef ramen I had today was phenomenal! We love this place!“

“I decided to Do a YouTube review for this place. Over the years I’ve been told it’s the worse reviewed Chinese spot in Albany. And decided to see for myself. The restaurant itself did not seem dirty. Besides the door and the outside of the garbage. But the floors and tables as well as the back of the house was pretty clean. Rating their cleanliness out of a 5 I give them a 4. I kept it simple by ordering shrimp fried rice and an egg roll. Because how could you mess something so simple up. The food came out within 5-6 min of me ordering. It was piping hot and fresh. I gave the food an overall 10 out of 10. However my daughter gave them at 7 out of 10 because she didn’t think the rice had that much flavor. But she really enjoy the egg roll. I thought the egg roll was pretty big compared to your average egg roll. And noticed they weren’t skimpy on the shrimp. A lot of Chinese joints only put two shrimps per egg roll ours had 4 each. Wasn’t greasy. Nice and crispy. And over all delicious. The server didn’t had us our bag. Seemed a little bit not to friendly. She sat our bag on the other table. And insisted we got it from the other table. Instead of her handing it directly to us. Could also be she is social distancing. But because the food was hot and fresh. And delicious. I can’t complain. If they give that door and trash can a good wipe down. I’d give them 5 stars easily. But because the door and garbage can we’re not to clean, I give them a solid 4 stars.“

“The ABSOLUTE BEST Chinese take-out, hands down! The food is always hot & fresh. They don't offer their own delivery, but they are on Grubhub & Doordash. They do have a seating area to dine in, but most people just take out. They're pretty accommodating and offer deals if you pick up you're own order.“

“It's takeout Chinese, nothing fancy, but the egg rolls are always crispy and I am impressed that they seem to use fresh vegetables in their dishes. I got the cashew shrimp recently and it was loaded with fresh chopped zucchini and carrots, versus other places where it's just a handful of celery and pre-frozen diced carrots.“

“I’m a truck driver passing through Albany NY. Stopped at this place and ordered Lo Mein with Chicken and Beef. The food turned out amazing. The best lo mein I have ever had. On top of that, their service was really great. Nice people. Definitely recommend this “

“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.“

“So I ordered Chinese food from another place last night, and the difference in quality between Amazing Wok and this other place was so great, I felt the need to come write a review for Amazing Wok. I love this place, they’ve been a staple since I moved to Albany in 2017. Lo mein is always incredible and fried rice equally so, the wonton soup hits the spot every single time, gyoza/dumplings are great fried or steamed, egg rolls have just a little too much of the roll itself (see edit) but are easily best in Albany. Delivery is ALWAYS 25 minutes or less after you hang up the phone. I’ve tried several other Chinese food places over the years but Amazing Wok stands head and shoulders above everything else I’ve tried. Thank you to the servers and cooksEditing less than a week later because the egg roles are perfection.“

“This has been my favorite Chinese restaurant for a few years now! We typically order their chicken wings with chicken fried rice, but occasionally we switch it up. Me and my husband visit a few times a month, and it feels nice that they always ask us about our life updates. We were with them when we was just boyfriend/girlfriend, to our marriage, to now expecting a baby. We cherish them and will continue to eat there for many more years to come ❤️“

“I was there today for takeout. I ordered shrimp with lobster, wonton and egg drop soup, roast pork fried rice and egg rolls. The food was delish and I can't wait to go to the buffet.“

“Fresh Fresh Fresh....you can tell the difference in the taste.“

“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?

“Great food and generous portions at reasonable prices. I eat here two or three times a week and I've never been disappointed. The wonton soup, hot and sour soup, egg rolls and black pepper chicken are my favorites. The house rice is also excellent. It also has a wonderful atmosphere and friendly service.“

“This is the best Chinese food that I've had in a long time. The lady and man cook every thing right when u order it and it's not already half cooked sitting there like most places. Cooked perfectly. Very nice people. Great place to eat.“

“Only place I order my Chinese from in cohoes. The person I always speak to on the phone is always nice, and they always are fast. Consistent food taste too.“

“Not only is this the best Chinese food in the area, but they actually listened. You have no idea how many times I have gone in to a Chinese place and asked for extra spicy. Not spicy for mayo, loving individuals, but actually spicy. They delivered! Not only was it delicious, but the heat built over time, and I actually needed a drink to cool down! This place made me so happy!“

“I go here regularly because I eat rice everyday and I cannot use my rice cooker momentarily. The rice is fresh and hot every time I go there. And the rice is affordable $4 for a large white ? yummy! The crab ragoon and rice there is smack

Parking: It's right in front of MVP Arena so sometimes there's no parking in front of the restaurant and sometimes there's spaces across the street from it. It's hit and miss because there's other businesses and no parking when events are going on.“

“The food was good. The guy behind the counter was very vegetarian friendly. He asked if I was vegan or vegetarian. I had tofu string beans and mixed vegetables.

Vegetarian options: This is a place where you pick 3-4 items and they put it in a box for you. Several vegetarian choices. Several starches and several vegetables to choose from. Guy even asked if I was vegetarian or vegan to help me choose.“

“Green Shell is the best for takeout. Never had a bad meal, prices are average or better, food very good, portions are very generous,
service is always polite and professional, phone to delivery driver.
Maybe could give an extra fortune cookie or two but no complaints.“

“A lot of the negative reviews here suggest that people misunderstand efficiency for rudeness. Yes, the employees are blunt and quick, but that's to be expected when the shop is non-stop. I stood at the counter for about ten minutes and the phone never stopped ringing, so if the complainers take their business to where they'll be sufficiently coddled, this place won't suffer.That said, I got take-out from here tonight. The service was efficient, the food was good and the prices were fair. That's all I wanted and that's exactly what I got.“

“I lovey Chinese food I'm very picky about it being fresh and having flavor. They know what they are doing here, Sesame chicken is incredible here!!!!Beef is amazing ! Haven't ever had a bad plate here. Everything is always so good and cooked perfect. You won't be disappointed here !“

“New Panda has been my go-to for Chinese food for over 20 years. And I don't think that'll be changing anytime soon.

Their prices have increased a bit over the past few years. But their quality hasn't fallen one bit.“
