32 Best Chinese Restaurants near Scotia

“great tasty food,thanks“

“The lady working here is really very rude. She don’t respect a customer. She’s not so good. The food is very nice but service is really very bad. more than anything this area is really very nice. I like this area and it is located inside the plaza which is having so many shops like Dollar General and liquor store and so many on you can every time you can come here if you have plenty of parking space really very good, but I will tell the owner to change this lady. She’s really very rude and she don’t respect customers at all. She need to learn some dignity respect towards customer that’s how you get more people otherwise because of her the lady very rude lady who working here because of her they’re going to lose a lot of customer.“

“Will be back! Amazing!“

“We are regular customers, but tonight's dinner was extra delicious!! We are really impressed with the freshness and had to leave a positive review. We ordered:
-sweet and sour chicken: it was super crispy and a good portion of chicken inside
-garlic chicken: fresh vegetables, all white meat, broccoli cooked perfectly
-house mei fun: packed to the brim and flavorful
-sweet and sour spare ribs: these were restaurant quality!! we got a small order and there were 6 huge ribs inside, fresh and the sauce was incredible
-fried rice: tons of fresh vegetables inside and the rice was cooked perfectly!!
-eggrolls: best egg rolls ive had in a while... they were totally full inside (not just doughy) and crispy on the outside. I could taste the ginger inside too which was delicious.

I hope the next customer has as great of a dinner as we did tonight. Will surely be back!“

“Ming’s is my family’s favorite! Quick and friendly service, wide variety on the menu, and the food is fresh and tasty. A+!“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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!!!“

“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.“

“No complaints!!! My food tasted very fresh and flavorful. Wait was not long at all and the price was reasonable as well. There were equal parts meat and rice in the combination platter. Sorry for no photo, I was too hungry lol! Only reason I’m not giving 5 stars is because I’m saving my 5 star rating for something out of this world. I will be back here for sure.“

“If I could I would give this place 10 stars. Easily accessible, located on rt 50 so its on the way any direction you go. From the moment I stepped foot I the door I was greeted like family. The owners came out to greet and welcome me. Wonderul family vibe. The staff gave me suggestions for their most popular dishes and reminded me to get crab ragoons to keep my wife happy. 😋 I ended up ordering fried rice... its amazing 👏 thank you for not over salting it. We also got beef and broccoli and the sauce was AMAZING. Next I tried the chicken lo mein and when I say these noodles were the best- flavorful, crisp veggies, tender noodles, YES. Shout out to the crab ragoons for being hot, crisp and full of the good stuff. We will be back again and again. Oh did I mention it took less than 10 minutes to enter, and walk out with my order!? I spent more time talking to the owners than waiting for food. Extremely pleased with my interaction and food. Do not miss this place!! THANK YOU Mr. Wok! Only picture I have left because it was so good. Amazing prices, last of the best“

“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.“

“We made a spare of the moment decision as we were driving by to check it out. Can honestly say we were not expecting it to be as good as it was. They have authentic Chinese food on their menu along with American style. My husband ordered authentic and I had Hibachi.. no complaints.. flavors, presentation, portion sizes, service, all great! Even the prices are reasonable. Worth a visit for sure.“

“Fast delivery, delicious food with good portions“

“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.“

“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“

“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!!!“

“This place is so good and that little kid Jason who works there is so cute yo Jason if you see this gimme your snap it’s oscarsbiscut please add and next time you see me say mango is 67 and tuff so PLEASE ADD BRO 🥭🥭🥭🥭🥭🥭🥭🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶“

“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.“

“First time visiting Bamboo Garden, the young lady behind the counter was sweet and friendly. My son ordered crab rangoons and he says they are the biggest he has ever seen!! He asked for extra beef in his pepper and steak meal and extra he received. Meal was delicious,we definitely will be back ??“

“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!“

“Best vegetable egg rolls in town, orders are always correct, friendly drivers. Plus today they sent a beautiful 2020 calendar with my delivery order :) But the font was difficult to read so it made it difficult for the poor driver to find my house. He was very nice though.“

“General Tso's tofu is amazing. Food is consistently fresh. Great portions and prices. Plenty of great options in the area but this is a favorite.

Vegetarian options: Veg/vegan options are plentiful and full of a variety of vegetables.“

“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.“

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

“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 ❤️“

“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.“

“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.
