“We've been ordering from Zenbu going on 20 years. I can honestly say we've never had a complaint. Had a long week/day today, ordered to make our lives easy tonight. It was probably the best it's ever been. Will be picking up our daughter soon, surprising her with this. Food is always amazing, thank you Zenbu!“
“I loved this place so much. Other than the great food, the lady working inside greeted me with a welcoming smile and was very sweet. Looked to be the only one holding down the fort. The sweet and sour chicken was crispy and delicious. The boneless spare ribs are arguably the best around the area. My new go to spot for Chinese food from now on.“
“Mala Fish Slices Rice Noodles: Very generous portions with the perfect amount of spiciness, lots of vegetables & noodles and the soft fish fillets paired perfectly with the broth.The Taiwanese fried chicken was also a 10/10! They somehow fried the chicken flawlessly with the appropriate amount of crunchiness and seasoning. It tasted good alone and with the sauce (I think it was sweet chili?) provided as well. I wish I had a photo of it, but I stomach got to it before my camera.“
“After experiencing the magical culinary delight that the plum blossom had to offer I will never be eating at another Chinese restaurant in the area. Everything we had at this place was 100% on point and the price point was abnormally low for the quality of food.“
“This place has the best customer service and the best food. Everything I’ve tried always hit. Never miss. They are different than most Chinese places you will visit. I love the quotes they put on your order they make my day everytime. I grew up in nyc and they’re food reminds me of back home. Delicious!“
“Juliana(hope I'm spelling it right) was absolutely wonderful! Excellent service, very friendly, great prices, and super clean! Juliana helped me figure out what I wanted to eat as I was out for a stroll just getting fresh air and wasn't really planning on getting anything from anywhere and everything sounded so good! Ended up getting the boyfriend his usual (general tso's chicken) and I got the hunan chicken. Got home, tried it, loved it and it's officially one of my favorite places now! Tonight was our first time trying it and I can't say enough good things about it! Hands down THE BEST general tso's chicken I have ever had in my entire life and the hunan chicken was also amazing. I was nervous because it's always a hit or miss when you try new places and they definitely earned three new lifelong customers! The chicken was cooked perfectly, the texture was amazing and the sauce was so fresh and flavorful and everything was fresh! Normally I hate babycorn but even that was delicious and didn't have that weird dirt after taste you normally expect. And I finally found the veggie egg rolls that remind me of the place I used to go as a kid! I can't wait to go back and try more items on the menu!“
“I am a very very picky eater for American Chinese and I will say that this place is the best buffet you will get in the capital region. I have tried all the Chinese food and buffets in Albany Troy etc and they ALL SUCK. But this one I give it a 4 for several reason. 1.) the food is a good balance of sweet and savory and if you have a heightened taste like me you will taste a LOT of sugar. If your a calorie counter I hope it’s you’re cheat day. The only inedible too sugary food was the general Tsos. I’ll repeat it again IT HAS A LOT OF SUGAR. The food for cost is worth it and if you want good bang for your buck for this type of Chinese food I highly recommend this place cause if you eat here you won’t regret spending money or even eating the food but you will potentially take a long nap/be hyper from all the sugar in the food. Honestly the only thing I would change is the amount of sugar in the food.Edit: This has become a 4 to a 5. Definitely less sugar.“
“From my 9 year old: This is the best place in the city, EVER. I love it so much, the food is so good and the people are so nice. It has a perfect name complimented by the water feature in the lobby. I would rate it one thousand million stars if I could. The staff is genuine and warm, just the best. I wish there were more places like this.“
“Ordered takeout on a Monday night (kudos for being open on Mondays! its so hard to find Monday restaurants!) - the portion sizes were fair for the price. My son enjoyed the yaki udon and I had the maki combo 2. I also have several food allergies and there was no issue accommodating allergen requests. We look forward to ordering again!“
“Absolutely delicious!! Our delivery was a little late but, soooo worth the wait!! ? The Pineapple rice with shrimp paired perfectly with the spicy sauteed string beans... And the scallion pancakes so crispy !! Always love the dumpling, the dough is never too chewy I'll be back !!“
“This is one of the best Chinese restaurants in Albany. Each dish that I’ve tried has been delicious. We go here regularly when our family is in town because they always request to eat here. Their offerings are authentic flavored to perfection!“
“Beautiful restaurant with great food amazing atmosphere and great service . Our server was very knowledgeable and friendly, the manager was really nice too . we highly recommend P.F. Chang’s. Great place for family and friends or if you just wanna take a quick bite.“
“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 “
“This has been my go-to Chinese takeout place for a very long time, and they have never once let me down. They have never gotten an order wrong or cooked something poorly. The food is always perfect and tasty, and the person behind the counter is super nice.“
“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.Kid-friendliness: YesParking: Plaza parking on the side“
“The sushi I had was delicious. The sweet n sour chicken was the best we'd ever eaten. However, my kani salad was sad. There was barely any crab at all. It was a bowl full of luttuce with barely any crab that was mixed with crunch. Kani salad should be very little lettuce with plenty of crab and crunch. I would've given 5 starts if kani salad was worth the price. Everything else was fabulous. We will definitely be going back.“
“Hong Kong Bakery & Bistro is a gem! The staff were so friendly and helpful, creating a genuinely welcoming atmosphere. The restaurant was clean and had a relaxing vibe, perfect for enjoying a delicious meal. Speaking of the food – it was terrific! Authentic flavors, beautifully presented, and the portions were generous. I left feeling satisfied and happy. If you're looking for amazing Chinese food and excellent customer service, this is the place to go!“
“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.“
“I’ve been living in Troy for a year now and have been trying to find a good Chinese spot. I have yet to find one to my liking! I was also craving a tuna roll so thought I would give this spot a whirl since they also delievered. We were NOT disappointed. The Chinese combo, the sushi, the ramen everything was amazingly good and this will definitely be my go to spot from now on!!“
“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 hardly ever feel the need to review, but i loved coming here today, i was dying for some chicken curry and boy did i get just what i needed from here, by far the best chicken curry i could have asked for. And the owner was awesome the store was extremely clean which is amazing because its been there since i was a little “
“My favorite place to order take out when I’m feeling lazy. Food is always piping hot and well seasoned. Super affordable too. Best Chinese take out in the capital district hands down!!! My only suggestion is that the crab rangoons could use a little more filling.“
“Amazing authentic Chinese food with great efficient service with a smile. This is one of our favorite spots. Their soup dumplings and pork buns are great but also try their black sesame ice cream for dessert!Parking: Huge parking lot with easy access“
“This Chinese Northern Eastern style restaurant is generally rated 4.5 stars, and being in Albany bumps it up to 5 stars.Must-try: five-color Chinese salad (五彩大拉皮)Recommendation: fried eggplant with minced pork (肉沫茄子) and the stir-fried taro with sugar coat (翻沙芋头).Food: I've visited twice and tried the five-color Chinese salad, fried eggplant with minced pork, stir-fried taro with sugar coat, stewed baby chicken with Chinese mushrooms (小鸡炖蘑菇), and stewed pork bones with bean sauce (酱大骨). The five color salad is a delightful mix of mung bean noodles, vegetables, and a standout sauce. The "mino" (a traditional Chinese raincoat makes out of straw) eggplant dish showcases the chef's skill, with the eggplant sliced thinly and connected. The sugar-coated taro was surprisingly good, tastier than the candied version. While the stewed pork bones with bean sauce and stewed baby chicken were decent, the pork bones are not leg bones and the chicken portion in the soup was small.Note: They offer a discount for cash payments.Parking: free parking in the plaza parking lot.“
“This is a takeout place that has quick service and reasonable prices. I love that they go easy on the oil and dont skimp on the meat. I give it 5 stars because it is exactly what it is supposed to be.Vegetarian options: They offer many vegetarian options.Parking: In a plaza.“
“This is where my partner and I went on our first date and where we just went for Valentine's Day. It is a great place with excellent food and service. And very reasonably priced. We will keep coming back to celebrate special occasions.The rose was a nice touch.“
“Mom and I stopped here for lunch and enjoyed lunch specials of hunan chicken as well as garlic chicken and shrimp. Portions were big and the food was good.This is pretty much a takeout joint with only 1 table for dining in. We asked for water while eating in and were given water in Styrofoam bowls. ?“
“Love my delivery, it's quick and hot. This is my favorite take out delivery. I usually order the sesame chicken combo, and it's decently crispy, also love the general favored apps like fried wontons, dumplings, and crab rangoons.I've had several different dishes and all are as expected, I have never ever been disappointed!“
“I've been coming to them for years! Food is always delicious and crispy. They look like a typical hole in the wall. But they're truly a gem. As it stands they will have our business indefinitely.Kid-friendliness: They're a family run business with their kids helping when they can. They're pleasant people who are very sweet with children who are in their shop.“
“This place is great, best Chinese takeout in the area, probably the cap region. Its pricier, but the quality is there, you can taste the difference. Their food is real, not fakey msg frozen tasting. There is nothing to compare it to in the area. Everyone please try it out, I want it to last! Try the chicken anything, and you will see/taste the difference, its real sliced chicken, like you would make yourself!“
“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.“
“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!“
“This restaurant has been around for a long time. They always have the best quality and best portions when it comes to Chinese food up here in Albany. Service is always very quick unless it's a holiday and they get really busy. They will usually give you a a time frame of when the food will be ready for pick up. My favorite is their general Tso's chicken and cheese wontons. Prices are insanely cheap for today's economy. I can't even go to McDonald's without spending $50 on my family of four. At double dragon, $50 goes a very long way! Cash only!! Great customer service by the family who runs the whole restaurant.“
“Pick this one!! Wow! Every single thing I’ve gotten here has been so flavorful, fresh, hot, and just so delicious! The service has been great- kind and prompt! Not the place to dine in, but I love seeing a kitchen that leaves me confident eating the food. Yum! Yum!Recommending: Pepper Steak, Beef Lo mein, General Tso!!!“
“New to Albany and wanted a Chinese soup and dinner. After a few reviews picked on Peral of the Orient hot and sour soup and Szechuan chicken were to the point. Slightly different seasoning but none the less both the hot soup and the chicken hit home. May have got our go to Chinese in Albany.“
“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!“
“Ken has a great place. Don't judge a book by its cover, the exterior of the place is nothing fancy, but the food and service are wonderful. My 14 year old daughter loves sushi, I brought her here for a lunch date and she was very happy! That's all the review I need! Definitely will be back regularly.“
