About Green Shell

Welcome to Green Shell, a Chinese restaurant located at 120 Hoosick St in Troy, NY. As a local Chinese restaurant, Green Shell aims to serve the community with a variety of Chinese culinary options.

However, it is important to note that recent customer reviews raise significant concerns about food quality and hygiene at Green Shell. One customer reported experiencing severe food poisoning after eating here, detailing 24 hours of illness and lingering weakness. This individual suspected the crab rangoon meat was old and improperly handled, despite receiving a full refund. This experience has negatively impacted their perception of Chinese food.

Another reviewer also had a very negative experience during a lunch visit. While the price for General Tso's chicken with white rice and a Pepsi was reasonable at $7, the customer found the rice to be "terrible" and tasting like instant rice. The chicken was described as "awful," with an incorrect flavor that led the customer to spit it out. This reviewer strongly recommended another local establishment, 'A Dragon,' as a superior alternative.

Based on this limited recent feedback, it appears that Green Shell has faced significant issues with food quality and potentially food safety. While the restaurant is located in Troy, NY, potential customers should be aware of these recent negative experiences. No information regarding the restaurant's environment, specific services like dine-in or takeout, features, or any promotional information is available in these reviews. Given the serious nature of the reported food poisoning incident and the extremely negative review of another dish, it would be prudent for potential customers to exercise caution and consider these experiences when deciding whether to patronize Green Shell.

Green Shell can be contacted at (518) 272-1300 or +1 518-272-1300. We recommend considering the recent feedback carefully before choosing to dine here or order takeout.

Last time I ate here got extremely sick from food poisoning, both ends for 24hrs. Next day was so lethargic and weak. Knew immediately something was wrong when my stomach was hard and felt nauseous about 1 hour or so after eating. Had to be old crab rangoon meat that was sitting out then fried making it seem fresh. They gave a full refund, but the experience ruined Chinese food me for a long time

Rarely do I give a place one star, but this place earned it. I went for lunch, it was not busy and I ordered the General Tso's chicken with white rice. Add a can of Pepsi and the total cost was $7. Not bad. The food arrived fast and hot and looked okay so I was hopeful. The counter women was not very friendly, but I was looking for a good lunch not a friend. The rice was terrible and tasted like instant rice. The chicken was awful and I actually spit it out (into my napkin of course) I bit into a few other pieces in case I had a bad one but they all were terrible. The flavor was not right at all. Do yourself a favor and go up the street to 'A Dragon' instead. They are excellent.

I ordered chicken wings with fries and a large steamed shrimp and broccoli the wings were rubbery and the shrimp and broccoli was almost all broccoli this cost me $40 and there were only six or seven small shrimp in it I’m extremely irritated they used to serve quality food but recently it’s been very disappointing

I ordered hot and spicy chicken for the first time. The chicken was finely sliced, the veggies were not over cooked, and the dish was flavorfully delightful! Very speedy and great service. That won’t be my last order. Thank you Green Shell!

What happened to this place? It used to be so good. Our pork was dry, beef was missing from the Mongolian beef. Terrible. Back to Spring garden Lansingburgh!
