Take out dinner for five adults and three children was ordered by my daughter…read more The bad-- I will start with the bad since it was my order. I was so disappointed in the Sesame Chicken, my go to order. I was hungry, but after trying several pieces, I had to toss it out. No leftovers to eat tomorrow. The "chicken" pieces consisted of over fried hard to chew skin around a small piece of thigh meat. Mostly gnarly chicken skin. The only thing good was the flavor of the sticky sauce with sesame seeds. I know where to get delicious Sesame Chicken with White Meat. China King and Mr. Wasabi in Schenectady are two of those places. The good-- My husband's Chicken with Broccoli in a white sauce was very good. My daughter enjoyed the same dish with a darker soy based sauce. The children liked the Edamame, Dumplings, and noodles. The mediocre-- The order of Chicken Fried Rice was not greasy but rather bland. It needed more seasoning. The Chicken Mai Fun lacked flavor and was bland. Pluses: Portions are generous. Everything was ready on time. Packed nicely. Efficient and nice staff. Kids liked the dozen or so Fortune Cookies that were included.

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.

The best take-out American Chinese food in the area. The prices are also very competitive. Some of…read moremy favorites are the fried dumplings, dim sum, and lo mein. This food suits my pallet so well that I was willing to drive 30 minutes just to get some when in the mood while they were five or more others that serve the same menu closer. Their lunch specials are very well priced and there's a lot of food. I'm sure you'll have leftovers (as always). I've been visiting Golden House for about 15 years now. In high school, I would get the lunch specials, in college I would pick up food for the whole group so I could get their deal of free soup or egg rolls for orders over $20. The family that runs it are always smiling, always nice. I have seen their daughter grow from a baby to now taking orders on the phone. It makes me happy that there's still a small business like this that has been around this long, serving great food, and ready in "15 minutes."

Many people get take out from here which I will admit, we have done twice but we really enjoy dining in at the restaurant because it's fun. The staff is really nice and extremely helpful. When we say vegan they know what we mean which is difficult sometimes because a lot of people have misconceptions about what that entails. You have to think about what ingredients the noodles were made with, do they contain egg or not. What sauces are traditionally used, is it a fish sauce? Is something cooked with butter? So just saying no meat, eggs, or dairy doesn't always make people think about everything but this restaurant gets it. Also people ask well what about gluten? It has nothing to do with being vegan it is related to having celiac disease. Bottom line, if you have food allergies or sensitivities, they know what is in their food and they will tell you or offer suggestions to help you out. The spring rolls, the gyoza, the crazy noodle (drunken noodle), curry rice, fresh rolls, all of it has been good everytime we go. This review is long overdue, Tamarind is just so good if you need vegan or vegetarian options they have a lot of plant-based menu items. The unsweetened iced tea, that's my jam! Love it!

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!

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.
