Went for lunch with my sister-in-law on a Wed. arriving at 12:15. Parking lot was almost full, and…read moreit had just opened at noon. Walked in and almost EVERY table had diners. By 12:30, every table was occupied. What? Great reputation! We were seated at a small but nice window table right away. Immediately, we received a pot of tea. We placed our order since I had to be home by 1:30. Turned out we were served quickly considering how busy the kitchen must have been. Our Hot and Sour Soups came within 7-10 min. followed by our lunch choices. Hot and Sour Soup was outstanding. My go to anytime it is on menu, so I compliment from experience. It had a flavorful base that was perfectly sweet and sour. The tofu was sliced small, and the mushrooms had a pleasant texture and taste. Delicious! Sesame Chicken was with a sweet and tangy sauce that hit all the right notes. It was made with nice size chunks of white meat. Broccoli was not over cooked. Pork with Garlic Sauce was a great choice. Tender strips of pork covered in a good sauce that was perfect on the rice. We each took a portion of our lunch home so we would have "room" for ice cream. Homemade Ice Cream! Two scoops for each of us: Too delicious to share plus a real treat! *Green Tea/Matcha was deep in color and the flavor--superb. *Red Bean was sweeter, and my taste buds enjoyed every spoonful. Enjoyable lunch at a restaurant where you can count on food being well prepared plus get experienced service. A true GEM.

For dim sum dining, this is the place to go in the Capital Region. For those of you who don't know,…read moredim sum is comprised of small plates of food perfect for sharing. It is mostly eaten for brunch and or lunch. I ordered many small plates but the ones that stood out most were the pork soup dumplings, crab and pork soup dumplings, seafood shumai (a traditional small cup shaped steamed dumpling) the wontons in spicy chili oil, and shrimp dumplings. Additionally I also enjoyed their General Tso's shrimp and Peking Duck. Service here is on point and the waitstaff is attentive. They checked on our table a number of times and the pot of hot tea and iced water with lime wedges did not go unnoticed. Also the ambiance here is nice and the interior space is well maintained and inviting. I highly recommend eating here as the food is authentic and delicious. An exceptional dining experience awaits you!

The family came here for a special occasion on a Thursday night. Despite no reservations, we were…read moreseated quickly. The interior is very dark, perhaps "intimate", with tall booth walls. In the background on the TV was the Food Network. Our waitress was very polite and gave us time to order. I started with the Szechuan dumplings which turned out to be steamed dumplings in a spicy peanut saucy. They were very soft, almost to the point of mushy, and the meatball inside was chewy. I had never heard of them before and really enjoyed them, though I didn't find them spicy. My wife disagreed on that point, and didn't care for them. For my son, we ordered "chicken fingers". They were larger pieces of battered deep fried chicken (think sweet and sour chicken) and cooked so long as to be hard and greasy. He didn't want to eat them, and after one bit I completely agreed. They were terrible. Very little meat, very hard coating, very oily. Yuck. We threw nearly all of it away. My wife ordered sushi, and during the ordering process there was some confusion as to what fish came with it and whether there was an upcharge or not. She ended up with a standard sushi order and didn't enjoy it all that much. It might have been sitting around a bit too long. I ordered the General Tso chicken and was very disappointed. There was lots of chicken and it wasn't fried as hard as the chicken fingers, but I didn't like the sauce. It was loaded with minced ginger, shallots, and garlic which gave it a much different taste than anywhere else I have had this dish. As I looked at it more, it hit me... I have bought this bottled sauce before from the supermarket. I think it is "Iron Kitchen" brand, and I used to have some in my fridge (when I bought it, I discovered it didn't taste good either so it sat in my fridge for ages). Yangs didn't make their sauce from scratch, and it was gloopy and thick. he picture of this dish on the online menu doesn't match what you get. Do they always use this sauce? I dunno, but it was one of the worst versions I have ever eaten. After dropping off our food, the waitress disappeared and was clearly busy with other tables. She never checked on us to see how we were doing, and it took a while for someone else to refill our drinks. They did a tremendous amount of takeout while we were there. All in all, it was a very disappointing meal. We won't be back.

Ordered a while back for take out and loved the dumplings and Biang Biang Noodles. Went in to…read moreexplore the extensive menu a bit more. Found out that everything is made there including the dumplings and many of their noodle selections. Couldn't get the signature noodles because they were still making them. We did get there right after they opened. Not mad about that. Will go back later in the day next time. The pork burger was delicious - the roast pork was perfect and the bun offered nice texture. The dumplings were even better fresh (not take out)- thin wrapper and crispy fry, very tasty pork filling. The chili wontons were amazing. That sauce belongs on damn near everything! I was worried they'd be overly spicy, but they weren't, though I do like spicy things. So if you like spicy/flavorful they're bomb. If you like spicy for the sport of spice they won't blow your skirt up. The Biang Biang noodles were better than remembered - wide noodles with a nice chew coated in SO much garlic and enough spice at the end to keep things interesting. The waitress recommended the Dan Dan noodles as the signature noodles weren't ready yet. They were good, but I look forward to a less "safe" option next time. Not her fault, she didn't know us. It was a solid, tasty suggestion. The hot black tea was served in giant steins with loose black tea leaves steeping in the bottom. It was delightful in it's presentation and I loved that wrapping my hands around the mug warmed me on a chilly afternoon!

Who knows, but being the closest takeout to a couple hundred college students certainly helps. I have tried Picnic Garden on multiple occasions: once for the lunch buffet and for takeout the other times. The lunch buffet I had was mediocre, average for generic American Chinese restaurants with a small selection. The takeout was absolutely abysmal each time. The food was flavorless and the Szechuan dishes I ordered had no spice. What a shame. I live close enough to this place and prices are so low that I would be a frequent customer if it were at least average, but it's some of the worst Chinese food I have had in this country. I give this place another chance every few months only to be disappointed. I considered giving a second star because of the good prices, but you're better off buying (cheaper) food from the warmer at the nearby Stewart's.

As I looked around, I noticed straight away how clean the establishment was and how you could look right into the kitchen. Definitely off to a great start! I ordered the chicken satay and vegetarian spring roll appetizers and it was delish! Next, the beef pad thai, the pad see ew noodles dish combo that had pork beef and shrimp as well as the tom yum noodle soup with seafood and it was all very good! To finish off, I decided to try the seasonal mango with sticky rice. It was definitely something different and in my opinion an acquired taste. I personally did not like the mouth feel of warm sticky rice and it was definitely unexpected. Sadly the fresh mango was somewhat stringy and also not as sweet as I'd hoped. Still, all in all a delicious experience and I will be back to try other dishes. So glad I stumbled upon Celadon Thai!

A chef should be able to use high heat to stir all ingredients quickly to make hot and fluffy fried rice. This fried rice would probably be one of the lowest ranks in my life. The rice is wet and heavy. I found many chunks of sticked rice. This somehow reminded me of Japanese fried rice. Japanese made fried rice are typically wetter side. Seasoning is below the low sodium order. It's really blunt and subtle seasoning. The kitchen was busy and I could hear they getting more calls over and over. So they tried to cook fast. But it shouldn't be the cause and effect. I wouldn't go back there for sure.
