Ocean Palace

This is always the first place I recommend when people ask about Chinese food in Albany. They recently opened back up for dine-in service and it’s a joy to sit there for lunch. My recent favorite dish is the chicken with Chinese vegetables lunch special but have loved the congee and other dim sum items as well as classics like orange chicken and beef with garlic sauce. They’re also so nice!

I absolutely loved the lunch I just had here. I dined in and the owner was an absolute gem. She was warm and welcoming, and the meal I received really felt home-cooked. I chose Mongolian beef made spicy (a 6) and it was precisely what I'd hoped for. I especially loved the light touch of fresh ginger added to the stir fry. Next time I visit I'll crank up the spicy level a bit more, as I like it to hurt a bit 😄 I definitely recommend Ocean Palace.

Absolutely delicious. I had the shrimp rolls, the dim sum dumplings and pan friend noodles with shrimp. Food was hot and fresh when I picked it up. Also the hostess that helped me over the phone was really kind and helpful when solidifying my order.

This is the spot! The husband/wife couple that own it are sweet as can be and their food is made with quality ingredients in house. Have you ever had Sweet and sour chicken made with real chicken and not just batter and grizzle? I have. It was right here. Ocean palace has authentic daily specials and amazing classic dishes. Check them out.

After a walk around the city, I decided to grab a bite and stumbled upon this wonderful restaurant. Initially, I thought it would be just your typical Chinese food, but once I started eating, I was blown away by how phenomenal the flavors were. I highly recommend this place to anyone visiting and craving authentic Chinese cuisine. Everything on the menu is excellent!
