Opened in 2024.
Gilbert G.

My family enjoyed an early Sunday dinner here in July 2026. This is a good option for pan-Asian cuisine (many other restaurants are closed on Sundays). Service is excellent and attentive in a cozy setting with a pleasant ambiance. We ordered the tasty soup dumplings, which were tasty. For purists, don't be shocked to see that the broth is outside the dumpling (which bothered my wife). I had the Chicken Katsu Curry, which was very good. However, it could have been a little spicier). Overall, Nong's Kitchen is a wonderful addition to Manchester, VT. If you are staying at the nearby Hampton Inn, it's only a 3-minute walk.

SO. GOOD. I've been quite a few times and need to go more. Great service and delicious food. The highly recommended the soup dumplings, buns, katsu curry and any of the ramen.

Spicy tomkatsu ramen.

Met my friend here for lunch. As usual service was prompt. Food was consistently delicious. The place was not crowded today. Will definitely comeback.

I enjoyed our meal and the atmosphere at Nong's. TBH, when I think of Vermont, Asian food is not what pops into my head but in this town, there's not a ton of options at 7 PM and this is a good place to feed different types of appetites. My Katsu was very good and the chicken was crisped to perfection. I wish the curry was a little bit spicier, but I have a feeling that spicy food doesn't play very well in Manchester, VA. The entree was filling and I thought the starter soup dumpling served in soup with the soup spoons were both tasty and very creatively plated. The tofu, while way too sweet for me, was how I like tofu cooked. A little tough on the edges and soft inside. I'll add the service was incredibly friendly and attentive. This is a great spot to feed a family or a group. It's a thumbs up for me!

Soup dumplings
Brian W.

We had a decent meal. Nice atmosphere, and plenty of options to select from. The soup dumplings were delicious. They were certainly different from what we had been accustomed to in the NYC area, but they were delicious. While the main dish had a nice presentation, it was definitely light on flavor for our palettes. It was not a spice-level critique, but overall flavor, being a curry dish. A good place but not a write-home-about place.... except for the soup dumplings. See pics attached.

Loved everything about this amazing restaurant. The decor and aesthetic is absolutely lovely. All of the staff were super sweet and attentive. And best of all, the food is amazing. Would recommend this to anyone in the Manchester area.

Nong's is an absolute must-visit. The food is top notch and service is warm and friendly. Do not leave without ordering the soup dumplings. They are truly the best dumplings I've ever had. All the food is delicious. Come for lunch or a casual dinner.

Scallion pancakes are creamy on the inside

We had a fantastic meal. The scallion pancakes we ordered on a whim and wanted seconds. Soup dumplings were great. 5 spice duck soup we enjoyed and enough to share.

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!

I thought this was one of the more classier restaurants for Chinese cuisine Host/waiter greeted me , very nice young man. I was intrigued by their signs and pictures of their specialties and usually I don't do this, I ordered off a picture on the wall!! My server pointed it out on the menu General Mao's Braised Pork. OMGoodness Braised pork belly with Bok choy in a delicious brown sauce. Winner! Because I love Bok choy , I also ordered this as a vegetable side. Rice came with the meal, and I ordered hot green tea that added a light rose taste to your palate. A big appreciation was the beautiful old style tea pot that was brought to my table. Presentation of my food order was gorgeous. The pork belly was so soft and tender, the sauce was so good I couldn't help but spoon it over my rice. Portions were generous. I definitely will make this one of my go-to for Chinese dining. Clean atmosphere, quiet dining. Another gem to add to my Chinese restaurant eateries.

We spent over $40, including tip, for a beef lunch special with a small side of fried rice and a small side of lo mein, 2 sodas, no apps.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Honey shrimp walnut and orange chicken is an excellent dish. A hidden gem at the heart of Albany.read more
