    C15. Shrimp with Lobster Sauce Combination Plate - A black plastic takeout container contains shrimp with peas, carrots, and broccoli in a white sauce, alongside yellow fried rice with cabbage and peas. The container is on a desk with office supplies, including a telephone, a tissue box, and a hand sanitizer bottle. A white plastic spoon is inserted into the rice, and the container is wrapped in clear plastic.

    I always rate a Chinese place by their special dishes. First of the smell of the food alone let me know I was in for a treat. I am a big rice person and rice flavor on its own with all the condiments is very important to me. Their rice ? Poppin. The shrimp with lobster sauce ? Poppin as well. They have pieces of crab meat in it which I've never had, a cool addition. None the less I will be back.

    All veggies and no chicken

    Will never eat here again. $10 order of hot and spicy chicken and all I got was a container of carrots, peppers and celery. Literally 6 small pieces of chicken. My fiance ordered tofu and her order was the same. About 5 pieces of tofu. The container was full of broccoli and other veggies. I haven't felt so cheated by a restaurant in a long time.

    Typical casual decor for a take out place...

    By far the best Asian food around. Wonton soup is spectacular. Chicken fried rice delicious. Broccoli in garlic sauce so good.

    Food is very good. Coming from NYC it is not easy to find good Chinese. Portions are generous. Capital YUM

    Somehow a local favorite in some circles but just about the worst, blandest Asian food I have had…read more I bet self negating monks who eschew spice eat tastier food. Literally a crime against cuisines they purport to serve. It's like the recipes were reverse engineered by looking at pictures of food.

    Mike & Mike are very nice, friendly & patient in explaining their food, ingredients & how they make…read moreit. They know their stuff! 1st: I Do Not recommend the Pad Thai. Have had it at the Troy Farmer's Market & at the Student Union & for all their effort in making it, with 10 ingredients including mustard greens & bok choy, there is zero flavor. (Tried Chicken & tofu orders) The pad thai sauce needs some umami, fish sauce, tamarind? I'm not sure. Pad Thai is not supposed to be spicy, so I am confused as to everyone ordering it, & being asked a spice level. Maybe the spic covers up the non-sauce that the noodles are tossed in? I even trekked up to the student union to pick up lunch one day, and asked for extra Tamarind sauce. I got a dollop of brown sauce on top, that tasted like extra salty. Hoisin sauce. And then some more further down in the bowl. Such a disappointment, I couldn't eat all that salt, threw it out. Should I ask for "extra Thai flavor" next time? Really don't know. **Pad Thai is not a Spicy dish friends.** 2nd: Definitely go for: A Rice Bowl with -the string beans. Crispy with a kick of spice -the beets at the Farmer's Market. Never thought I would finish off beets, but this will convert you. I crave this! Too bad they don't have it at the RPI Student Union during the week. -green curry chicken is not bad. Spice comes on a little bit later. -The Mango Lassi is $4.(average since coffee & battenkill milk costs about the same at the Mkt.) A nice option to have, Mike said that it's made with rose water. Needs a bit more cardamom. -Had a nice to-go cold peanut noodle chicken noodle bowl from the RPI Student Union. They're now on a new remodeled floor at the Union, the menu looks smaller. Maybe it will take some time to build it back up, or they may not have the room for extras. -always fun seeing their homemade ice cream flavors according to the holiday. Very creative & fun chefs. Follow their Facebook for updates. So, too bad I had to average out my review to 3 stars for TMC, but the Pad Thai is very disappointing. My mother bought one & didn't like it either & she's more forgiving with food. Yet customers seem to really like it. Get schooled on Pad Thai at Sukothai in Albany folks! Or even Chom's Cafe In Troy.
