A few weeks ago, my wife had surgery and we ordered to have a night in Everything was top shelf. The food was just amazing. The rice was unique and uniquely different. The chicken was magnificent, and the lo mein was out of this world The quickness of service was just amazing It was a very clean restaurant when we picked up our order. The people were helpful, helping us complete our order. We are most definitely be back time and time again. read more

We have a bit of a drive to get to Proctor's Theater so we always stop at Zhu's for dinner. It's not the best Chinese food I've had (I grew up eating in Chinatown) but it's definitely not the worst. We usually are the only ones eating in the dining room but they do a big takeout business. I can't say a lot about the decor but my daughter loves the fish tank near the entrance. I think if you order from here you won't be disappointed. read more

The food here was average at best. The dumplings were a bit over fried. The chicken ramen broth lacked flavor and the meat a bit tough. I think because they offer a mix of many different Asian cuisines, perhaps some they do better than others. read more

I love Zhu's and they have some of my favorite bubble teas in the area if not my all time favorite. I always get a tea when I'm ordering food there and if they deliver they make sure it is secure with no leaks. They are also always super friendly when I'm there! read more

I frequent this establishment quite a bit and I must say that I am impressed every time. Their food is very fresh and their service is amazing. They're very intentive. They're very nice and they know their business well. It's a very cute establishment as well with a lot of different ambience that are amazing to look at. The one thing that I've come to really enjoy there is the wonton soup, which is absolutely amazing. I love the flavor. I love how much you get for the price. It's an overall pleasant experience. If you're ever in the area, give it a try. Thank you so much for listening. read more

I love ordering from here. The food is always fast, fresh, and arrives hot; and I usually get it delivered, which is a feat in itself. I can't say much about the service or ambiance since I've never eaten inside, but Zhu's is easily some of the best Asian food in Rotterdam. Not an incredibly high bar, maybe, but a bar nonetheless. read more

Omg, this place has the very best Asian food ever!! We got sesame chicken, honey walnut chicken, seaweed salad, vegetable lomein, crab Rangoons....so flavorful and delicious!! This is my new Asian restaurant!! Ordered on line and picked up. Their chef's are so talented!! Great portions and yumminess, worth the drive for sure!! You can enjoy the dine in, but with TBI that's not an option. Clean place with parking lot and bathroom. Individuals working the to go orders are friendly, kind and respectful. Love this place!! read more

Not the best Chinese food I've ever had but not the worst either. My husband and I got take out. I ordered the Sesame Chicken combo and upgraded to pork lo mein: the chicken was good but the lo mein lacked flavor and the pork strips tasted old or like it was sitting for a while before being tossed into the noodles. My husband got the bourbon chicken with pork fried rice. It was LOADED with peppers and onions and unfortunately the peppers overpowered the taste of the bourbon chicken. The pork fried right was overcooked and lacked flavor as well. When picking up the order, the staff was very friendly. read more

We really enjoy dining in at Zhu's, the staff is do nice and it's a very comfortable atmosphere. We always order the Szechuan Wonton, tender wontons with a spicy peanut sauce and refreshing cucumber slices. My favorite meal is the Triple Delight in garlic sauce, which includes shrimp, chicken and roasted pork with fresh vegetables in a spicy garlic sauce. We've ordered takeout and everything was just as good as dining in, but you don't get the same friendly faces that you get when dining in. read more

Food was the best! Fresh, not over or under cooked. The ordering online was easy and fast service at pick up

I had lunch on my day off really looking forward it. First, they will not substitute tofu for any meat on the lunch menu. This left me with vegetables, which is fine. But my broccoli was very greasy and overly salty (trust me I love salt!). The fried rice had too much soy sauce. Nice service and atmosphere. The price was right at $9 total. Still, better options out there for vegetarians. read more

Updated review...I mentioned that my family's dishes seemed surprisingly hot/spicy. They were indicated as hot with a pepper on the menu, so it's my bad. Also, I should add that NONE OF THE 12 PEOPLE IN OUR GROUP GOT SICK BECAUSE OF EATING @ ZHU's (as indicated in only other review on Yelp.) read more

The moment I walked in I had 3 people ready to guide and help me. Had the Chicken Basil - very fresh / moist and full of flavor They made it exactly like she would - Said 20 minutes but had it in less than 15 Place smells great / looks great Very satisfying all around Thank you for a great experience read more

Great food, great atmosphere. Zhu's has something for everyone. Their fried scallops are amazing and their udon is cooked beautifully. Their chicken wings are THE BEST!!! This is not an overstatement...they are sensational! The staff is excellent and very helpful. Also....make sure you try their Boba Tea...you will not be disappointed! read more

Just found Zhu's - amazing. Have tried four different fishes in the past three weeks and they are all outstanding (both Thai and Chinese dishes). Fresh vegetables cooked perfectly, flavorful sauce and large pieces of meat. Great portions as well (always leftovers). Definitely worth trying!!!! read more

Everything we got here was incredible and the price really cannot be beat! This will be a new go-to for us for both dine-in and takeout! We got the taro bubble tea with rainbow boba (the rainbow was new to us and a fun twist), the egg rolls (some of the best I've ever had), gyoza (a favorite of mine that never disappoints), the house special ho fun (delicious and HUGE portion), and the chicken Thai basil curry (delicious). The service was also amazing - everyone there is very friendly! We will DEFINITELY be returning to try lots of other things as everything on the menu appealed to us :) read more

Went last night for the first (but, not the last) time. Everything was delicious. Lots of vegan choices too. I opted for thai and my partner went with Chinese. We started with bean curd soup and scallion pancakes. I got the thai basil bean curd. Partner opted for Buddha's delight. Very good service. Everything was so fresh. We will be back for sure. The pancakes were served with a very nice spicy dipping sauce. Both dishes came with white rice. The menu said they have brown, but waitress said no. Choice was either white or fried. read more

Went for lunch. They had a nice lunch menu with specials. Had the chicken and string bean lunch special with wonton soup. Food tasted very good and portion size was adequate for lunch. The service was very good as we were checked on several times during the lunch. The restaurant was clean with many tables, although the decor was very dark. Only thing I missed was noodles for the soup and hot tea on the table like other Chinese restaurants I've been to. I would certainly go back because the food was very good. Try it out. read more

I ordered vegetable fried rice and it looked and tasted like uncle's Bens rice. I don't think it was made in a wok rather heated up in the microwave! Very disappointed! read more

Grew up in NYC, I'm very picky with my Chinese food. Been eating it for 50 years. I'm so happy that I tried Zhu's tonight. Sampled an array of Chinese specialties and each one was as delicious as the previous. The atmosphere is a little basic but when you get the check you'll forget about the cloth napkins. Do yourself a big favor and get down here. If there's better Chinese food in the Capital District I've yet to find it! read more

my favorite asian take out in all of the schenectady albany area. i go out of my way to go here. general tso combo with the hibachi fried rice. read more

I hate that they charge extra to switch out the pork egg roll. What about people who don't eat pork? When they first opened, they offered to switch out the pork roll for a spring or shrimp roll free of charge. The food is good and the place looks and smells clean. I would recommend it to friends with a warning about the pork egg roll! The vegetable rice is good. read more

The food was great! Nice selection on the menu. the young lady at the counter was friendly on the phone and equally friendly in person. The food prices were fare and the portions generous! The interior looked clean, however I picked up my order and ate at home. Definitely worth checking out! read more

The food is by far the best in the area. They also don't just have Thai, they have Chinese food as well & that won't disappoint either! The server here was great. Nice environment as well. Everything was clean and neat. read more

Best food. Best wonton soup ever. Great customer service and they have a nice restaurant

Great spot for lunch and dinner, staff is very friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is chill and the food is great.

I used to go here every Thursday after Bowling. The food and service was always fantastic. I was a regular costumer and when they saw me, they knew my order each and every time. Sadly, overtime as the staff changed, so did the food and service. I had always ordered Sweet n Sour Chicken with the White Rice. The last 2 times I went here, I had to wait for an excessive amount of time. The chicken came out overcooked, it was more breading than chicken. They did not check on us at our table after getting the food. It's just gone down hill. They stopped caring it feels like, and for those reasons I will not be coming back. Even the coke was really flat! Not just once but twice on separate trips here it was disappointing. Unfortunately, I will not be returning. read more

Delicious! It came with a lot of shrimp, very generous. Penny, the waitress was friendly and very accommodating. read more

This was outstanding. I placed a web order and had a special instruction and they called me to verify exactly how I wanted it. I had the sesame chicken combo with white rice and the wife had the beef string bean combo with shrimp fried rice. We also ordered the won ton soup and pan fried won ton. The best thing, nothing was overly greasy and everything was loaded with salt. The fried rice does have peas in it (which I'm not a fan of), but everything tasted great. Portions are standard sized, the garlic sauce with the fried won ton is a bit spicy, but the taste is good. Fully recommend. read more

Updating my review. The owner just called me to make sure that I was a satisfied customer. He was very humble and respectful and is going to make our experience right. Changing the star rating too because aside from the tofu, the rest of our food was very good. Thank you to the owner! Ordered takeout. Got home. Kani salad was missing and the Mapo Tofu tasted like dish water. Completely understandable. They were going to give me store credit for the salad, but wouldn't do anything about the tofu. read more

The best Chinese / Japanese food around! They just opened and we have already ordered from them 3 times. Orange chicken was amazing with a little bit of heat, Mongolian beef was outstanding, and the padthai was the second best she has ever had. Would highly recommend you give them a try! read more

Took out from here last night for the first time on daughter's recommendation. Possibly the best Chinese food we've ever eaten! Fresh, clean taste to everything. Can't wait to try again! read more

Incredible service and food quality. They offer gluten free which puts it over the top. Their gf sesame chicken is delish!

Sesame chicken was excellent. Fried rice had little flavor and odd aroma. Spring roll was under stuffed and had only one kind of shredded vegetable in it. Interior of restaurant was attractive. Workers were pleasant and hard working. read more

Better than good food, generously prepared and nicely packed for pickup. The staff are welcoming, always give the impression they are happy to see you. Highly recommend. read more

Absolutely amazing, definitely worth the try!! It was my first time trying it and I would recommend it to everyone! The food was amazing, their service is on top.

I was in the mood for Chinese food for dinner. I went into the restaurant and it was clean and cozy. I ordered for take out: a Roast Pork egg roll, a Seafood Tom Yum soup, and a Roast Pork Lo Mein. The staff who took orders from me were friendly and helpful. The egg roll was great and not oily. The soup was ok. It had a lot of oil but there were plenty of seafood: one clam, plenty of shrimp, scallops, and crab meat. The Roasted Pork Lo Mein was very good. There was very little salt and I didn't feel bloated after eating it. I was satisfied with the whole order. I can attest that this restaurant does earn 4 to 5 stars. I'd recommend going there for either lunch or dinner. I'm going to go back and try their Ramen. read more

Very friendly. Great foods. Vegan options. I go there a lot for the broccoli with garlic sauce.

Went there for my daughters birthday. First off the atmosphere was very nice clean and spacious. All food we tried was Amazing. Appetizers so fresh and delicious. Crab Rangoons the best I have tried anywhere. Fried dumplings delicious. We had general tsos and orange chicken, shrimp tempura. Beef li neon was very fresh. Surprise birthday dessert was amazing and so very thoughtful. Waitress was an absolute delight very friendly. Thank you for a wonderful dining experience. Highly recommend dining or ordering take out. read more
