Not impressive. The Tofu veggie soup was very bland, there was very little chicken in the Szechuan chicken dish, the shrimp dumping were small and tasteless. I would not reorder. This was a delivered dinner.

It has wings?!?!?!

Well, we used to be pretty solid customers. Not anymore. Ordered, and while in the middle if dinner, we found a bug. Called and told them to come get the food and why. Asked for refund. They came and picked up food, I advised them that we were in the middle of eating and found the bug. He then asked me to pay for what we ate. Seriously? Um. No. Never ever again. It will probably be a long time before we even eat this type of cuisine again......but certainly will never order from there again....EVER. 2 kids currently throwing up from disgust since they were both eating from the container with the bug....

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.

I remember reading that Ocean Palace was closing for months to renovate. I was happy to see the…read moreresults. The entrance looks a lot better. Instead of picking up takeout at the front door, customers can now make their way to the counter. I'm glad to see them reopen. I had a lunchtime craving for Cantonese style curry chicken. It was a favorite dish growing up and it brings back fond memories. Another favorite is Roast Pork Lomein. I also bought a shrimp stuffed eggplant appetizer. It was pretty good. There are also new lunch options. Instead of a free can of soda, I was offered soup. I chose Hot & Sour Soup. It was good. This is one of the few local Asian restaurants that offers brown rice which is a healthier option. I always make a point of calling ahead so the food order is ready by the time I get there.

We stopped by this restaurant on our way to Canada, and it was already packed when we arrived. The…read moreinterior was nicely decorated. The place was very busy, but the servers were friendly and quickly brought us the Chinese menu. We ordered several dishes and had to wait quite a while since it was peak dinner time--but it was absolutely worth the wait! The spicy beef was incredible, easily one of my favorite dishes. The deep-fried pork brought back childhood memories--it tasted just like what I used to have growing up. My kids especially loved the meatball and vegetable soup. Honestly, everything we ordered was delicious. Such a great meal and definitely worth the stop. We'll absolutely come back again!

Northeast Chinese Restaurant II is one of my favorite local Chinese restaurants. All of my favs are…read morenorthern Chinese. That means they can serve up some deliciously spicy dishes. But if you're looking for something milder, they're great at that, too. I think the large menu has been updated since my last visit. The first few pages include dishes that I would describe as "soul food." There's frog, beef tripe and pork intestine-- you get the picture. I never really got into that. On this visit, my friend and I picked Stir Fried Spicy Squid, Crispy Chicken with Crunchy Red Pepper and Bok Choy with Garlic. We were hungry. The veggies came out of the kitchen almost immediately. Crazy fast. We were grateful. The other two dishes took a bit more time. When you see all of the ingredients in those dishes and how finely sliced they are, it's no wonder. I loved the chicken dish. The chicken was a little crunchy but the red peppers were super crunchy. It was a bit spicy but deliciously so. I liked the peanuts and what looked like slivers of jalapeño peppers, too. The squid was also great. Here, I think they used more jalapeño peppers and spices. There was more heat to this dish but it was deceptive. The more I ate, the more I could gradually feel the burn. By the time we were full, I could feel my face starting to sweat a little. That was fun. The restaurant is clean and attractive with a remarkable amount of seating. The back portion is reserved for hot pots which I have yet to try there. The staff is friendly, helpful and bilingual. They will make suggestions if you'd like. This restaurant generally gets a bit noisy because it's where large Chinese families gather when they want to go on the town. That's a good thing. There's also a large screen tv that plays cooking shows. With so much going on, the customers seemed pretty happy.

This is a beautiful sitdown, Chinese restaurant with an old-school feel. Two older gentlemen were the waiters and I believe one of them may have been named Simon. He could not have been nicer and more accommodating. I overheard some regulars talking to him, and they definitely felt the same way. I saw several of the dishes that other people were eating, and they all looked delicious. I really like this area of Albany with all the old buildings right by Washington Park and I plan on making Rain part of my regular routine. 100% recommend.

It did have good flavor, albeit a bit dry. It does come with two sticks of veggies, which is nice. The noodles have a strange yellow dye / powder on them that comes off. Both the broth and noodles weren't the best. Broth was lacking depth in flavor. The Peking pork chops don't have much actual meat in them if you open them up. It's also extremely chewer. The flavor is alright. For $22, it's absolutely not worth it for the very little meat and bones. The rice wasn't bad actually. It wasn't dry and soaks up the seasoning from the pork chops well. They have a small parking lot that's tight, but there were plenty of spaces on a Saturday afternoon.
