This place used to be really good. Food was fresh and tasty . Then 2 or 3 years ago I heard the store was passed to a realitive . I however belive ut went to new owners . They definitely did not get the recipes from the old owners . The food has gone way downhill . Nothing is fresh anymore . Their fried rice looks and tastes like it's last weeks leftovers. Their sauces are watered down . And the flavor is almost non-existent. We have tried them a couple of times the last couple of years .. this last time the food was so bad . It ensured we would never order again

The atmosphere at A B Chinese Restaurant was cozy and inviting, making it the perfect place for a great night out with friends. The menu had a great selection of dishes, and food was cooked to perfection.

2 years ago this was the "go to" chinese food for my wifee and I. Absolutely loved it. Something has changed since then and our last two or three visits have been waaaaay below par. Started with substituting fresh cut veggies in the Egg Foo, then started modifying the gravey on the egg foo which was what we went for. Their combo eggfoo was to die for, now it'll just kill ya. Ate there today for the last time, the "special" had fried rice that must have been yesterdays leltovers, so hard it was un-edible the chicken lo mein had zero flavor.... Done with this place until they get back to basics or hire a new cook. Maybe try them again in a year or so to see if they ever read reviews... Also, cleanliness has gone way down...tables get wiped, but not clean afterwards.

While in Albany we were directed here by a local after asking about Asian food establishments. Fairly typical...smallish...kinda noisy, everyone knew everyone so lots of chatter.....huge portions of excellent "Americanized" Chinese food at very reasonable prices...we'll definitely be back.

This place has gonna downhill so bad. We bought 3 dishes for pickup. They are all smashed so much in the box that they came out of the boxes as one piece, not as individual fried pieces of chicken. I can not believe we wasted 40$ here. For some reason I forgot how bad the food was since the new folks took over. And my normal place was closed, took a chance. Made a big mistake choosing this place. I would like my money back. Even the stemmed rice container was so full of excess water. So bad. Nobody finished their plates
Always delicious and the family that owns it is wonderful! Highly recommend the Crab Rangoons, Mongolian Beef, Orange Chicken, Cashew Chicken and fried rice!

NEVER AGAIN! I WILL NEVER EVER EAT HERE AGAIN !! MY EXPERIENCE has been the worst. I ordered a combo num 1 sweet and sour chicken with chow mein and bbq pork fried rice. The chow mein tasted and smelled like putrid garbage. It was not edible. I gave the rice and chicken and try and split it with my son. Immediately after eating my stomach started turning. After 45 min i was on and off the toilette for several hours. I fell asleep and woke up at 5am Violently puking for about and hour i fell back asleep and At around 7 am my son woke up sick and began throwing up as well. The only time we ate the same food yesterday was from abchinese. Today my stomach is still turning and ive remained close to the bathroom for the majority of the day it is now 2pm and i still dont feel good. I havent eaten anything since.I DO NOT RECCOMEND EATING HERE. DO NOT EAT HERE. I WILL NEVER EVER EVER EAT HERE AGAIN. IVE WORKED IN THE FOOD SERVICE INDUSTRY FOR YEARS. THERE IS NO WAY YOU CAN CONVINCE ME THEY DIDNT KNOW THAT FOOD WAS BAD!!

Do not order from this place unless you want to pay for a bunch of fried rice! Never get takeout from here they rip you off they take your money and that's that do not believe the fake reviews! And no they don't give you half protein and half rice they give you a tiny little bit of protein which is all just broccoli there was no beef in my beef and broccoli except maybe three measly pieces and then two big old scoops of rice. It also says it comes with shrimp and a fried wonton well when they say shrimp they mean a single shrimp which was old and gross and a fried wonton which is just a chip one single chip. And you can keep your 20% off my next order because I will never be ordering from you again I don't think I want 20% off a $15 plate of rice and that's you just basically giving me free delivery what you should freaking do anyways!
Picked up a to go order. It was fast, hot, and delicious.

I have ordered thru this restaurant in the past and was happy. This time it was not good. We ordered spicy garlic scallops. They were sweet and tangy . We also ordered the sezchaun vegetables and the sauce was the same. We ordered lemon chicken . It was ok... We were very disappointed. I couldn't resolve this with the owner this morning because they are closed on Tuesday. I feel like I wasted $48.00 I felt like the dish was a great misrepresentation of what the menu stated.
