It was great. I rarely have such an immediate reaction. It was every bit as wonderful as I hoped it would be. Almost too spicy. Makes your lips burn sort of spicy. At least, my face didn't break out in a sweat. For my taste, this was authentic Szechuan with just enough heat. It was a large portion. I had enough leftover for a meal the next day. I tried to plate the meal to do it justice even though it was takeout. This was my first visit to Shu. The interior looks nice. The woman at the counter was friendly. I'd heard a great deal about the restaurant. Trying to decide what to order on my next visit.

I just love this place and the staff. My family was delayed with meeting up with me for an hour!…read moreThe staff took the best care of me, and then of my family. The food is delicious. The ambiance tonight was like a house party because there was a work party going on - so it was unusually loud. It is normally pretty quiet there. The pics tell a better story about the food than I can right now, but I will describe one: The poached fillet is a treasure chest of good stuff. It has sea bass, enoki mushrooms, wood ear mushrooms, lotus root, bok choy, etc. I did not realize this until I dipped the spoon under the fish. It is worth every penny. The flavor deepens with every bite.

My family of four had a terrific experience at Emperor Garden. Given the beautiful ambience with…read morered lanterns, one would never think one were in a suburban mall. The Chinese food was tasty and authentic, and portions were generous (huge amount of rice). The lunch specials included one egg roll and a soup. We ordered the slightly spicy homestyle tofu, which came with nicely textured tofu, soft on the inside, along with a superb egg drop soup. The other vegetarian dish, with sautéed eggplant, green peppers, and potato, was just as good. The wontons in the wonton soup were small and forgettable (only pork, no shrimp, unlike the classic Cantonese version). The two entrees overall represented Dongbei cuisine well. We appreciated the friendly and prompt service.

It's split in two; the deeper container contains the stock/broth while another colander type arrangement holds the noodles and other ingredients above it. It's genius. The soup servings are generous although I would also agree with others that the soup base isn't house made. I got the tonkotsu ramen today. The body of the soup base is too homogenized, too thin to be a pork bone broth. It's okay and the amount of ramen in that soup is a carb overload. I need a nap. Despite my niggling complaints, I would go again, without hesitation.

The place is order at the counter with open kitchen and there are a couple of tables for eating in. Looking through the Lunch Specials ($5.95-$6.50 plus tax), which are served until 2:30 PM, I decided on the Shrimp With Cashews ($6.50 plus tax) served with Vegetable Fried Rice and Soup (I chose Hot & Sour). The food was cooked fresh to order and was ready to go in under 10 minutes. The portion of food was just right for lunch, shrimp entree & fried rice packed in a plastic compartment container and the soup in a plastic pint container. The main entree had plenty of soft shrimp (clean) with celery, onions, & cashews. The vegetable fried rice was really fresh, which had a mix of soft fried rice, green peppers, carrots, onions, and bits of baby corn. The hot & sour soup was not spicy and had mix of vegetables, egg, tofu, fungi, and mushrooms. Overall, I was pretty satisfied with my lunch, which tasted good and cooked fresh. The service was prompt and friendly. (3.70/5.00)

Shining Rainbow is one of my favorite Chinese restaurants in the Capital Region…read more Their noodle soup lunch specials for $10.75 are one of the best values around. The noodles are fresh--never dried--and the soup comes with plenty of meat, veggies and tasty broth. I can never finish an order of soup here. I usually take half of it home. I went back recently just to see if the soup is still on the menu. It was. If you order the WonTon Noodle Soup and ask them to add some meat, ie. roast pork, chicken, they will. Only you won't get any wontons. It's one or the other, not both. I guess I was hungry. I brought a friend with me and ordered too much food. That's on me. If each of us had just ordered a noodle soup for lunch that would have been plenty. Instead, we shared one order of soup. I also ordered Singapore Fried Mei Fun (Rice Noodles) which are spicy. They're sautéd with roast pork, bits of scrambled egg and vegetables. Then, I also ordered sautéd snow pea shoots with garlic, which are seasonal and considered a bit of a delicacy. It was a great meal. Cost more than I originally intended to spend but we wound up with delicious leftovers. I took the rest of the soup home. My friend got the Singapore dish. The service was pretty good. It took a bit long for the soup to be completed so there was a slight timing problem. The restaurant's decor is very pretty. I particularly like all of the light fixtures which help make for a nice dining experience.

I give this place five stars for number of reasons below:…read more 1.). Great price compared to other Chinese restaurants of similar quality and taste. 2.). Food is made fresh, the fried rice light and not filled with MSG. I had to add a little soy sauce to give it that flavor I like. 3.). Ordering online easy and quick. 4.). Lots of traditional and American style options. Place is in a low rent district and looks that way from outside. But inside is decent, and probably helps keep prices low. The main meal dishes come with side rice option and you can change to fried rice of all types. I did that and the portion was like half of a regular fried rice order but only $2. I ordered the beef curry which had nice spice to it, the mapo tofu with pork which was just right size, and of course general Tsao my fav. All were great portions, really fresh and tasty. And got a free milk tea with the order! Will be back.
