50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Watervliet

“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 !“

“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!“

“5-Star Review:
I make it a point to visit Shing Fung House once a month, and it never fails to deliver an exceptional experience. The authentic flavors and generous portions truly “wok” my expectations every time, turning a simple meal into a delightful tradition. From the warm hospitality to the consistently outstanding Chinese classics, this place continues to shine. Highly recommended—five stars without reservation!“

“I ordered a Spicy Salmon roll and a Philadelphia roll. They were excellent. Also ordered some wonton soup and shrimp spring rolls. Wonton filling was a little fattier than I like, but everything was good. Definitely ordering sushi from here again.“

“Went here for lunch with good friends who come here often it was every thing they said it would be and more the food was excellent. The service was great even though they were very crowded at lunch. We did not feel rushed at all in fact we were there for over two hours. I will definitely return When back in the area.“

“this is the best Chinese restaurant in Clifton Park. we had a Crab Rangoon appetizer, Crispy Shredded Beef and Sesame Chicken main dishes. Food arrived quickly by impeccable staff and was fresh, crispy and super tasty. we both left with portions to fuel another meal or late nite snack. highly recommend.“

“Excellent food, service and atmosphere.“

“Great Friendly service, we have been going for years“

“They are my go to when I want Chinese food. Tonight 1 of my meals were forgotten. No big deal. I called back. They sent me up an extra meal for free. So nice of them. I really appreciated it“

“I’m a truck driver passing through Albany NY. Stopped at this place and ordered Lo Mein with Chicken and Beef. The food turned out amazing. The best lo mein I have ever had. On top of that, their service was really great. Nice people. Definitely recommend this “

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

“Great food and the best egg rolls ever. Sorry to see that you are closing. Please write a cook book to keep your dishes alive.“

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

“We just moved to the area and have tried many different Asian cuisines. Tai pan was the best priced and the quality of the sesame chicken outshined all the other restaurants near by. The mei fun was super good too. The crab wontons were super fresh and not heavy in fried wrapper. The balance was perfect. One complaint was not enough white rice but that’s an easy fix for next time and didn’t take away from the experience. My husband got the red curry with no to lite spice and they made it just right. We did take away and plan for this to be our go to spot going forward.

PS - make it so you can order springs rolls on your website :) I only see it as an add on in the combos“

“This restaurant seems to be run by the next generation rather than the old school Asian restaurants. The staff is very upbeat and the food is delicious, not greasy like so many other restaurants. It's so tasty, I have to inquire if you are using MSG because everything is so tasty. Hopefully you not. Please address this question. Anyway... Delicious food!“

“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!“

“I only order from East Wok. The best food around. Everything is fresh and delicious! Pictured is the lunch shrimp in lobster sauce & pork fried rice. I ordered the large container of wonton/ egg drop soup on the side. The lunch portions are large also!“

“The food is very amazing, portions are large, the price is fair. They have a lot of options and you can choose what you want in your order even if it’s not on display in front of the restaurant. For example you can ask for dumplings, shrimp broccoli, beef broccoli, chicken vegetable, and sweet and sour chicken. Cheese wonton and lots more. Waiting about 8-10 minutes. They make fresh for you. 👍“

“always a great meal ken and his wife are super friendly and funny great atmosphere and if your alone sit at the bar great conversation“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“Best place ever!!!!! Husband was going through it with an accident and still helped!! Such a loyal customer and LOVE their food please go!!! Defitily a FIVE STAR !!!!!!!“

“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🫶🏽“

“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“

“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!“

“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“

“Food is about as good as it gets for Americanized Chinese food. Store needs a facelift but don’t think that means the food isn’t great.

Parking: There is always parking in this lot as there are other businesses next door that also have spots available. The entire lot is usually only about 30% full.“

“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!!“

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

“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.“

“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!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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“
