“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.“

“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 !“

“We love this restaurant very much. Me and my husband eat here all the time, and can never get enough of the eggrolls, fried rice, General Tso chicken and sesame seed chicken. We especially love the little Chinese girl that takes orders, she is so nice and deservers all the tips in the world. We dined in the for the first time just after they opened and have been going here ever since! Me and my husband spent our 35th anniversary eating their take out. picture of me and the hubby attached“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 ✅ ✅ ✅“

“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!“

“Fast delivery, delicious food with good portions“

“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.“

“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 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🫶🏽“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“I ordered a take out lunch order today and it was fantastic. I had a vegetable egg roll and chicken lo mein with broccoli. Everything was very hot, and extremely fresh. The staff is always friendly and helpful every time I'm there. I will be ordering from Lams again, very soon !!“

“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.“

“They are absolutely amazing asked for extra crispy sesame chicken and it was extra crispy nice and hot! I also accidentally ordered pork wontons instead of crab ragoons and they were very sweet and made sure I was satisfied even though it was a mess up on my end!“

“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!“
