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.“

“Compared to all the other Chinese around Latham that are not great at all golden house was the best BY far we ever had ! I am glad we stumbled upon them ! Everything was flavorful the crab ragoon was actually stuffed with more than a 1/2 teaspoon of filling ! The sesame chicken was not overcooked and the Mongolian beef was very flavorful , yes a lot of onions but I like it that way ! For the price it for sure was amazing rather than spending 100 on yangs( love their sushi) or anywhere around for mid/ overcooked no flavor . I would order again for sure ! And the house “cow mein” delish! The delivery driver so nice and fast !“

“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!“

“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.“

“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

“Fast delivery, delicious food with good portions“

“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.“

“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.“

“We have had food from Yip's once a week for a long time and have had the best chinese food available. The owners are very nice and have our food ready at the time they gave us. We always call in our order. I would recommend it to anyone.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“Ordered lunch takeout, very good. Chicken was good quality, and dumplings were tasty too. The best part was the fried rice. Lots of Chinese places give you that yellow bland tumeric rice, this was real fried rice and very good. I will definitely be returning.“

“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.“

“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“

“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“

“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 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.“

“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!!“

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

“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.“

“Went here tonight for dinner! We were seated quickly and immediately were served water, a kettle of hot tea, and wonton chips with duck sauce and mustard. They took our drink order and food order quickly and everything came out so fast!! And it was delicious food. The service was incredibly friendly and efficient. I had an app, an entree and a dessert for a reasonable price! I will definitely be going back!“

“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.“

“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 just moved to Troy and I’m still figuring out what’s what in terms of which parts of Troy to avoid. First of all I ordered a small beef and broccoli tonight and it tasted good. No complaints on the food. Also I have been trying out numerous Asian restaurants in the Capital Region and so far this one is one of the most affordable especially if you are a student because there’s a 10% discount w/ college I.D. Personally I just don’t like this extreme angle of the up hill drive here and when I pulled in some shady looking pan handler was asking me for money. Walking into the restaurant the first thing I noticed is it’s not really a very welcoming feel because there’s bulletproof glass and no where to sit and eat. This might just be best for delivery only.“

“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?

“Quintessential Chinese takeout. Enjoyed all that we got: orange chicken, general Tsos, fry donuts, and veggie lo mein. The lo mein was a bit on the smokey side. If you're in the mood for this type of Chinese food, this fits the bill perfectly and at a good price.“

“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!“

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