I was met by the owners at the front counter. They were friendly. Their service was fast. I placed the order online. I ordered roast pork with broccoli and chicken lo mein. Nothing fancy . The broccoli in brown sauce was great but I didn't like the fatty cut of roast pork. I won't order roast pork from there again. If you don't mind literally, "chewing the fat," then the preparation of this dish is fine. But I'm taking off one star because of it. I've never had it served that way. Otherwise, it was a nice experience. This restaurant serves a lot of touristy Asian fusion food which explains the fortune cookies and dishes like Egg Foo Young. It seems the locals really enjoy it.

We had other plans for Thanksgiving, but after all the driving around, both of us were too tired to…read moredo anything but call around looking for something good and open in Albany. On my short list of Chinese restaurants to try was Ocean Palace, and thankfully, they picked up right away. This was our first visit, and we will probably be going back. There were quite a few customers, but the place has an airy feel that was quite comfortable. Lots of windows, comfortable tables, and a very calm feel to it. Staff here was great: attentive and friendly, and very accepting of my ridiculous enthusiasm for soup dumplings. :) We lived in NYC for 30+ years, and a considerable number of my dining out experiences were weekend mornings in Chinatown in Manhattan (sorry, no experience with Flushing). We've eaten a lot of dim sum over the years, so we started with a dim-sum-esque variety (the edamame dumplings in veg broth were very good, but the spring rolls were too oily), then my husband ordered baby bok choy and shitake mushrooms, beautifully presented and which he loved. But me? I ordered a *second* steamer of soup dumplings. Yes, my Thx dinner was almost entirely soup dumplings, and I'd do it again next year (don't tell my grandma). The soup in the dumpling and the meat filling were excellent. The *ONLY* quibble I have is that the wrapper was thick, almost doughy. The regular steamed vegetable dumplings had very thin wrappers, much more what I was expecting. The thickness made it much easier to get it into your spoon with chopsticks, but, again IMO, it put the proportions off. As is probably obvious, I'm neither a chef nor Chinese, or I'd have a much bigger frame of reference. There is also always a wide variety in how different families make their biscuits, etc. The food at Ocean Palace was not the best I've ever had, but it was very tasty, and though the soup dumplings were not perfect, I'd have them for lunch today again if I could.

Ok, it's definitely Peter Chan in the kitchen after my skepticism in previous update. I know this…read morebecause first, a regular customer came in and called out "hey Peter how you doin?" Second, because the hard working chef is once again quietly exerting his authority with small acts of independence. He brought out my lunch special himself but declined to give me a dinner plate (needed because the serving entirely covers the oval plate it was delivering on) and, once again, my pork with pickled cabbage had no pickled cabbage. Touche, Peter. The regular customer ordered items I would never consider, like walnut shrimp and egg foo young. But I'm sure it was still great, as was my no-pickles pork, as is everything Peter cooks. The guy is a gem. And he looks to be in good health after that mystery hiatus so I hope he'll be around awhile.

Even though I've been here many times, the salt-and-pepper fish was new to me on this visit, and it was fantastic crispy, perfectly seasoned, with little bits of fried garlic and a sweet-and-sour dipping sauce that was so good. If you're in the area, definitely stop by!

I picked up some tenderloin steaks from the Market32, and thought I would just grab some fried rice from the Northeast Chinese Restaurant nearby. I ordered a large pork fried rice and fried wontons. Stupid Me: As I waited for my food, I began to read the reviews. Should have done that before ordering lol. Not just one, but several reviews claim finding roaches in the food, with photos. I was instantly grossed out about my choice. In my head, I was convinced that I too would find roaches in my food. The Good: I slowly dumped the rice into a large bowl, inspecting every bit of it for roaches. I did not find any LOL. The Bad: The fried rice was Meh at best. The only real flavor was SALT. The Ugly: The fried wontons were missing just one thing: Flavor. Like, there was absolutely none. You taste the grease they were fried in, and nothing else.

Hot tea came out before we even had a chance to ask for it, which was perfect for a cold November afternoon. We were able to get refills on the tea without issues. When we ordered two servings of wonton soup the server asked if we would like the soups split into four smaller bowls, which we did. The rice came as a single bowl at the center of the table. The dishes were very well seasoned and a good portion size. It was great to eat family style and taste everything. They're fountain that's at the entrance reflected off the windows as we were sitting so it actually looks like it was raining outside, which given the name, is a cool effect.
