However, upon entering, the first thing I noticed was each of the seat cushions in the booths was torn and in need of serious repairs. There were also tables and chairs. I thought maybe the food will be good. Ordered 2 luncheon specials at $7.95 each which is less expensive than most comparable places. --Sesame Chicken --Shrimp in Garlic Sauce, both with Wonton Soup - -Plus a pint of Hot and Sour Soup The Sesame Chicken had a flavorful sauce, but it was mostly inedible because of the hard, chewy over fried pieces of skin. There was little chicken meat. The fried rice and broccoli were okay. Chicken was put in garbage. 4 Stars Yes! Shrimp lunch was very good. The shrimp were LARGE and tender, not overcooked. The sauce was good. Wonton Soup was typical. But the Hot and Sour Soup was a surprise! I like it and order it often, and I have never had a version so dark and inedible. Not only was it visually unappealing, it was too salty and had no mushrooms or tofu. I could not eat more than a taste. See Photo. First and last time ordering from here. Better Chinese food can be had two blocks up the street.

Conveniently located near the Amtrak station, it's an easy stop for travelers or anyone looking for a quick but satisfying meal. The menu blends Korean flavors with American classics. I ordered the Crispy Chicken Sandwich, which came with crunchy chicken katsu, tangy katsu sauce, and fresh shredded cabbage. I also tried the seaweed soup, and both dishes were excellent. Pairing your meal with one of their Korean beers is definitely worth it. The restaurant itself is small, casual, and family-owned, which gives it a welcoming and authentic neighborhood feel.

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.

Tengu Asian Bistro - Take Out (4.5/5)…read more After trying numerous different sushi spots in the Capital Region, Tengu Sushi has become my go to sushi spot. If you are looking for some really good sushi for a reasonable price at lunch time, Tengu Asian Bistro is definitely a place to check out. I go to Tengu Asian Bistro pretty frequently for their 3 roll lunch combo. This past time I ordered a shrimp tempura roll, spicy tuna roll, and a Philadelphia roll. The Philadelphia roll here is probably one of my favorite versions of the roll. I've ordered sushi from many places and this still holds up as either my number 1 or number 2. The spicy tuna roll again is excellent with great flavor and a good amount of crunch from the tempura flakes. The Shrimp tempura is another roll I always struggle to not order since it is quite good. I've also ordered the spicy salmon and eel avocado rolls here before among others, and they are all really great. The 3 roll lunch combo comes with your choice of either a side salad or miso soup. I prefer the salad which has an awesome dressing that comes with it, but the miso soup is also very good. Overall, I would highly recommend trying Tengu Asian Bistro if you are a fan of sushi and are looking for something to eat for lunch!

After a long day of this and that, we decided to treat ourselves to some Asian food. And since this…read moreplace was just down the street and had recently opened, it seemed like a good opportunity to try them out. We had a coupon in a book that was mailed to us, otherwise I never would have known this place existed. It took over a failed Subway restaurant (which was right around the corner from Mr. Subb), and I was surprised an Asian takeout place moved in because right around the corner (next to the Mr. Subb) was another Chinese take out place. Sure, this place has dine-in options. And it claims to be Asian Fusion. Anyway, we both ordered the same dish: General Tsos chicken. I had brown rice, and my wife had fried rice. The softspoken guy who answered the phone was friendly and told us our order would be ready in 10-15 minutes. For a Sunday night, they must have been slow. I got there with time to spare and watched him cook our food. The dining room is cute, though I would guess the fixtures were used as some were already torn and worn down. The chef's bar had nice blue lighting and features, and there was some fish out in the cooler wrapped up in plastic. I don't eat sushi so I cannot comment on whether this is the way sushi bars are, but it seemed interesting. Our food was served in Japanese style take-out containers. There were five individual compartments filled with the chicken/broccoli, the rice, the spring roll (or egg roll, depending on interpretation), some duck sauce, and packets of soy sauce. It traveled a lot better than those white cardboard boxes or round plastic containers. However, as my wife noted, they cost more too. I saved my containers to use for other projects. The food was step above regular takeout fare. I can't say if the recipes were better, if it were fresher, or if the travel containers helped it fare better. There was less sauce on it, which likely helped. Both rice types used Japanese short grain, which was fine by me but not what you normally get with Chinese takeout. Also, it wasn't spicy at all. And the portions were smaller than most, yet the prices were much higher than most. Two combo meals were $34.00 before tip. I know of places to go for really cheap, bad Chinese food (buffets), and places to go for really expensive, high-quality Chinese food. As for take-out, though, the lines blur a bit. I want to like this place, but I love the restaurant around the corner. I don't see how both can succeed. Since it is primarily a sushi restaurant, perhaps that is the niche they should focus on.

Menu prices seemed high for Chinese, portion was small and they used sushi rice to make the fried rice. The egg roll filling was mushy but came in a crispy spring roll paper. On the positive everything was fresh and presented nicely. The duck sauce for the egg roll was homemade. The chef who took my order was soft spoken, polite and friendly. In the future I'd like to sit at the counter for omakase and see how good the chef is.

On this visit, I had the Shrimp Tom Yum Noodles special while my friend ordered Chicken Tom Yum Fried Rice from the regular menu. This would be an indication that we like spicy food but knowing that Natalie makes her own spices we asked for the entrees to be "mildly" spicy. After tasting the entrees my friend declared the meals to be "crazy good," but he was glad that we ordered them mildly spicy since the spices were making his face sweat a little. He was very happy with the meal. Never one to shy away from a lycee drink, I ordered a Lycee Saketini, which I loved. It included about a 1/2 ounce of sake. We also ordered an Everett Porter Beer which tasted and looked a lot like coffee- chocolate stout. It was delicious. Our server, Ben, helped us with our drink orders. He's very knowledgeable. The restaurant is cozy, welcoming and can seat perhaps 30 people but it's important to call ahead to make sure there's enough seating. I almost forgot to mention desserts which are to die for.
