“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.“

The food he recommended are all very delicious. We love the lettuce wrap, garlic noodle, firecracker shrimp especially the new item black pepper mignon steak.“

“Absolutely loved it was so delicious and was truly made with love i’ll definitely be returning“

“First time having authentic chinese food. Loved every bite. Will definately be back.“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Fast delivery, delicious food with good portions“

“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..“

“This was the best Chinese food I’ve had in a long time since moving up here from NYC. I love their friendly personalities and the food was delicious! The place is very humble and small but they food is packed with flavors! Try it and leave them a review they deserve it!“

“My family and I have been getting takeout from this place for 20+ years. It’s always consistently great. My favorites are the crab rangoon and cold sesame noodles. Dumplings are also really good. The food has never changed in quality and it’s a family staple for us.“

“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.“

“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“

“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!“

“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

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

“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!“

“Absolutely Delicious meal Best China around!!“

“Every time we walk in for our food we are greeted so nicely by everyone and taken care of right away. The food is so fresh and you get so much for your money! We have a toddler who is obsessed with the chicken and the rice! 10/10 would recommend!!“

“Everything is top notch, love the tangerine beef and Szechuan dumplings,and the service is always excellent!“

“The best beef sticks wonton soup n the entire menu is delicious!!!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“crazy big portion sizes and really good pricing! the staff is very friendly and kind with every customer. every time i have gone there the lady at the front counter is welcoming and friendly with everyone. The food comes out quickly and they use fresh ingredients- i saw them recieving a shipment and it was boxes full of fresh food. great place!“

“I WAS HERE ON 5/16/26 ALONG WITH MY FIANCE AND GRABBED SOME GRUB! WE GOT CHICKEN WINGS, RIB TIPS, SHRIMP FRIED RICE AND SHRIMP EGG ROLLS.. WE ATE ALL THE CHICKEN BEFORE I COULD GET A PICTURE OF THEM.. THEY WERE JUST TOO GOOD AND WE WERE HUNGRY! FOODS ALWAYS GOOD“

“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.
