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 did not feel rushed at all in fact we were there for over two hours. I will definitely return When back in the area.“

“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.“

“Something different is what I was looking for and I loved it! I got the chicken and green beans. It was hot and delicious. The delivery was great as well!! The spice was perfect.

“We celebrated my sons baptism with family and friends at a private event at Yang’s on July 17, 2022. I am still getting calls and texts from our guests raving about the food and the overall experience! The Yang’s team went above and beyond to make our party special. The food was fresh, hot, and very tasty! I would highly recommend Yang’s Asian Bistro for your next private event or catering! Thank you Yang’s! ❤️“

“They are my go to when I want Chinese food. Tonight 1 of my meals were forgotten. No big deal. I called back. They sent me up an extra meal for free. So nice of them. I really appreciated it“

“It always bugs me when I can't find the menu on a restaurant's Google maps, so I just posted decent pictures of each section so yall can read it. I love how South Wok uses the menu to place your order and confirm what you want, gives you the corner of the menu with the number, and gets you your food in about 15 minutes. I love everything I've had there, and I have eaten here every Friday for the last 3 weeks, and I will for the next 3, as well...for as long I'm in town here. My xomoany semd me here every January ir February for a couple weeks and South Wik has been a go-to 4 years running. Portions are substantial and part of the reason I pick up Friday night, so I don't have to find a place to eat on the weekend. $40 to $45 gets me enough food that I can usually eat the leftovers Saturdaybabd Sunday, but $48 got me till Monday night this time.
8/10 for the food.
12/10 for consistency, reliability, availability, and convenience.
I'm eating South Wok tonight and will again a couple more times before I head to the next project.“

“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!“

“Fast delivery, delicious food with good portions“

“Authentic, tasty and not afraid to give you the level of heat you ask for.“

“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“

“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.“

“Jay’s kitchen may not look fancy, but the food is fantastic
Every time you call the order is always correct ☑️
And Randy is especially a sweetheart 🤗
Prices are reasonable and conveniently located in Latham on Route 9
There’s so many yummy dishes that are delicious. I cannot name them all now
That’s for my next review 😊
I highly recommend them 🙌🏽
Give them a try ✅ ✅ ✅“

“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.“

“Best Chinese takeout in the area. Their egg rolls are perfection EVERY time. Every dish is excellent, always fast & friendly. Happy to accommodate (like no carrots please ).
Never had a bad meal; often takeout & delivery.“

“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 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.“

“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!“

“Our favorite local Chinese place! My favorite part is honestly that they have online ordering. And my family orders like 10 things each time and have never had a miss. The orders are always accurate. Food is good, prices average. Definitely will keep returning.“

“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!“

“The Amazing Wok has been a go-to for me for 30+ years, including the four years I lived above the place in the early 90s when I ate from there many nights of the week. The food is always dependable, the service is quick and friendly, the veggies are always fresh, the sauces are great, and my kids tell me the dumplings are as good or better than anywhere. I’m a vegetarian and their bean curd homestyle is best I’ve found, and that’s the dish I order everywhere I go (I wish they’d give me the recipe). Not fancy, but totally solid and recommended.“

“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 “

“Floridian..and since Ive resided near by, this is one of my quick fixes. Food is always good. ready in 20 min or less. Fresh every time. Good Friday night eats if your not down to cook! Fried dumplings are our go to as well as the fried rice and BBQ spare ribs!“

“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
Ty tyty“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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’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 walked in and had Lou mien, and my friend had fried rice. The portion was hearty, and the taste was good. Of course, you can’t compare it with an authentic Chinese restaurant to a fast food chain. Like we don’t compare a burger from McDonald’s to a steak house burger. I think the review for this restaurant should be a little bit better than it currently has. I would buy again.“

“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.“

“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.“

“My husband and I really enjoyed our dinner from China One. We ordered orange chicken, black bean chicken, fried spring rolls, and vegetable mei fun. The food was fantastic and delivered very quickly. The price was fair and we had tons of leftovers, which was awesome because that means I didn't have to cook the next day. We highly recommend the food and will definitely be ordering again.“

“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.“

“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.“

“I have been in Albany for 12yrs and I claim two of the best Chinese restaurants which one is in Watervliet (freaking delicious). After 12yrs I have added Lam’s Kitchen as my third Chinese spot of good eats!
Being a New York City Native it is extremely difficult to find wonderful authentic tasting food so take my word for it when I say this place hits good for a decent price.“

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

“Delicious food, fast delivery, and fair prices. What's not to love? Everything is done with finesse at New Panda and it's a genuinely great business to support! Food is always high quality and hot when delivered, dry and wet batter fried food is crispy and not at all soggy, wonton soup is perfectly seasoned, fried rice has a perfect rice firmness!!! Incredible. Don't think twice about ordering from here!!!“

“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 !“

“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.
