15 Best Chinese Restaurants in Schenectady

“Menu has plenty of options, food is delicious, and staff are patient and friendly. Great experience! Highly recommend - will definitely be back!“

“This is my absolute favorite Chinese food spot in the area. I’ve tried various meals: shrimp lo mein, boneless bbq spareribs, chicken wings, egg rolls, pork fried rice, General tso chicken, sweet and sour chicken, all delicious and fresh! The people that work here are extremely friendly and kind. Portions are a great value for prices. Their homemade duck sauce is my favorite too!“

“My child orders the sweet chicken and chicken breast every week. They're freshly cooked every morning, and my child especially loves the chicken breast. Rice noodles are my favorite, and cheese wontons are a must. The wait can be a bit long during peak dinner hours, but I understand. They put their heart into their work. I'm so grateful to have met Ming here.“

“Sometimes you just want Wanton Soup. Bamboo does a great job with all their dumplings and the other American Chinese food. The owners seem to be an older couple that care more about their food quality than anywhere else in Schenectady. I wish they made real Chinese food as well! I feel like they would make killer Dongpo Pork, Chicken Feet, Tendon with Sea Cucumber, Jellyfish Salad, etc. If you like Beef Broccoli, Sesame Chicken, Sweet and Sour, this place has the BEST American style Chinese food. I haven't tried their pork yet, and that is usually the protein American Chinese makes hard, dry, and sometimes inedible (Scotia/Glenville Chinese food comes to mind, if anyone could make decent Asian food, you'd make generational wealth with all the terrible Asian food in Scotia/Glenville). The only bad thing is the atmosphere. Let's be honest, you aren't bringing a date here, or sitting down for a traditional family style Chinese meal. So atmosphere shouldn't be a problem. This isn't my favorite style of food, I'd rather go to Hu's House or Ala Shanghai. If American Chinese is your thing, DEFINITELY give this place a try!!!“

“They’re deserving of the positive feedback they get here. Small yes, however the flavorful food makes up for the size of the restaurant. My wife loves the crab ragoon and rices. I’ve eaten a couple of the noodle dishes and we always have roasted pork rolls. Everything tastes great and they’re nice people.“

“Highly recomend comming here.
I see a lot of mixed reviews but
I really like there food the sesame chicken Is spicy, I asked no spice. They provided!! Great taste. The shrimp fried rice is great!! They understood fully what I wanted fast and simple. Stright to the point. The crabrangoons are not greasey at all and are TO DIE FORE!!

Edit:
The broccoli was cooked perfect and not soggy at all. Perfect crunch

Prices are not cheap and not too expensive either, its in the middle.
Deffenlty would come back!!!“

“Ignore the one-star reviews. They’re all making up fake problems.
Many complain about rude service. Its not rude, its just not fake-friendly like American service is because the staff are not American. Also, they’re way too busy to stand around asking how your day is. In my last visit, a cook personally came out into the front area to ask if I wanted pork or veg for the free egg roll that came with my order. I appreciated that.
Someone complained that the fryer oil hadn’t been changed in a month. How do you know? They do not have an open kitchen. Did you go in the back and check it yourself?
Someone complained the charge for sauce packets. They in fact have a tray full of different sauces on the counter that anyone can take.

Ignore the bored people who need to make up problems so they have something to complain about. This is the most consistently excellent Chinese takeout in Schenectady and I’ve been a loyal customer for years.“

“WOAH how to they have 3.9 stars?! I have been eating here since high school, over 15 years ago. We have tried every other chinese restaurant in Rotterdam and the surrounding areas and have yet to find better food. If you haven't tried them because of their reviews - ignore that!“

“We’ve ordered from this Chinese restaurant quite a few times, and my family has been eating here for 10 years!

The food is always great, the servings are beautifully large, and I’ve never had a bad experience with them. They’re so quick with the order too! And apparently, in all 10 years, they’ve never messed up an order. Some of our favorite items: Hunan chicken, boneless spare ribs, egg rolls, General Tso, and pork dumplings.“

“It was late Saturday afternoon and I decided to treat myself. I ordered the house special fried rice and a pork egg roll. Deee-Licious! And it made me happy if that’s possible! To top it off my fortune was “Embrace the joy of simple pleasures this Saturday”. Wow.“

“This restaurant is hidden gem in Schenectady, This is my second visit to this restaurant, this is best restaurant good taste and delicious, authentic Chinese dishes available here, people work here are good professionals and customer friendly, highly recommended.“

“This is my favorite Chinese fast food place. The stuff I’ve had reminds me of China Town, the pork chow fun is particularly good. Great hot and sour soup and the golden chicken fingers are addicting. House special fried rice is everything. Very friendly staff and speedy, courteous delivery drivers. I feel like family ❤️“

“Most amazing service, we got turned around to the other location and she called to check up and we unfortunately got there a little late but she waited and even gave us a soda to go along when we tried to tip for the amazing appreciation and service. Food is absolutely wonderful and made with care. Will be frequenting this family establishment more over the coming years for the down to earth and positive attitude and good service and great food.

Dietary restrictions: Easily customized and easily made

“I like stopping by United Buffet for lunch during the work week. Running J Smitty Automotive - Auto Body & Collision of Schenectady keeps me busy most days with collision repair and body work, so it’s nice having a place nearby where you can sit down, relax for a few minutes, and get a good meal before getting back to the shop. The buffet always has a solid selection, the food is fresh, and the staff has been friendly every time I’ve come in. Definitely a convenient lunch spot when you’re working in the Schenectady area.“
