It felt somewhat unwelcoming when we first arrived, as there was a brief period where no one acknowledged us. Eventually, a young man noticed us, seated us, and handed us menus. However, after that, we waited long enough to start wondering if anyone would actually come over to take our order. Once we did place our order, the food arrived surprisingly fast—probably within 10 minutes. While we’ve seen other reviews mention long wait times, that wasn’t our experience. The food was okay, but the lack of hospitality makes it unlikely that I’d return.

I visit here at least once or twice in a week. Best ever Chinese cuisine place for me. Even when I had Chinese food like mala xianguo in Korea, it couldn’t make me satisfied because I miss here! Servers all know me and know what I am gonna order before I have a seat 😂 always thank you so much and I’ll see you again! Mafo tofu, mala xianguo, guobaorou, dongpo pork, fried rice, milk tea, Chinese pumpkin pie, omg just soooo good!!!!!😋

Really decent authentic Chinese Hunan food. Lots of spicy dishes but nothing was that unbearable. All the dishes had a lot of flavor but mostly because of how much oil they used. Could have toned that down a bit. Braised pork and boiled fish were excellent. Overall attentive service and nice open space. Has to be one of the go to Chinese spots around the area.

You just never know what will be in your food, and they refused to refund. Great service and diverse food ingredients in just one dish. Highly recommend if you want something innovative or some fusion.

Super disappointed. We love to come here for the Sichuan crab, but it was so dry and either overcooked or cooked from frozen that the meat stuck entirely to the shell. We had to scrape small bits of crab meat from the cracked bits of shell with our finger nails. I felt like a cave man. To add insult to injury, the only thing we could actually fill up on was stiff old rice that we had to pay extra for. I used to love this spot and recommended it often. Not after tonight.

The food here is excellent and the fish soup in particular, unfortunately, the servers are mostly fairly rude, making the experience less pleasant. One time while they were cleaning up one of the tables one of them tossed some of the dishes into a bowl of soup that was on their cart, splashing it all over me and our food, and the woman who did it just looked over and shrugged. We weren’t going to eat our food after having somebody else’s food, splash all over it and us, so we just got up to leave, and the people tried to insist that we pay! The owner Waved at the people at the counter, indicating not to charge me, but the whole thing was ridiculous. I still go there sometimes, but not nearly as often as I used to.

We had not had dinner here in a couple of years, until last night. I saw the new menu items page with the "Tea-Smoked Duck and had to try it! It was worth the drive in the Winter storm to try the generous serving of Half Duck!

We have been going to this warm and delicious restaurant for over 16 years. The food is delicious and fresh. It’s a perfect place for families to enjoy their meals with Renee always welcoming guests with her warm welcome.

Very delicious food! I really like how the chicken and beef is not swimming in the sauce. You can really taste the texture and the plants. Even the fruit is nice and fresh. I highly recommend the Manny's shrimp and the pepper chicken. The entrance is a little bit weird and difficult for handicapped people.

First off wow. Good tasting Chinese is so hard to come by in Indiana. This place hits all the spots for great taste customer service and bang for your buck. Idk how they have anything less then 5 star. You know the old saying the worst the outside looks and hole in the wall places the better the food? Well this is it!! Very authentic flair to food. Those who gave it 1 or 3 star because of the buffet, well it is small and there only open a few hours for it for lunch and dinner so I can see why they don't want to put alot of food out just to waste. The dish prices and lunch specials are well worth the money, so idk why anyone would want the buffet anyway.

One of our friends recommended this place. We went there to try out. It was fantastic; we loved our food. Here is what we ordered: Steamed Pork buns Gong bao chicken General tao chicken Chicken with chilies All were yummy

By far the most authentic and delicious Chinese food I've had, don't be fooled by the outside this is an hidden gem with an extensive menu including so many vegan options and unique dishes like jellyfish and vegetarian duck! Hu's fried rice was my personal favorite as it was umami and spicy and I can't wait to come back and try all of their dishes and even as a vegan have so many to try

The staff from China are very friendly. The orange chicken is sweet and delicious! Although it’s American Chinese cuisine, it suits Japanese tastes as well. The portions are large, so we shared it between the two of us.

I have gone to the same Stir Fry 88 inside the Colonie Mall food court twice. Their food has been fresh. Their vegetables taste clean and fresh, and their noodles have flavor. Two women that work up front do their jobs well.

Ordered food delivered for five people this evening. Selections were cold, sesame noodles, shrimp, eggroll, eggplant, garlic sauce, sesame, tofu, vegetable mushu, shrimp, chow mein, and vegetable fried rice. Everything arrived hot and I think they are now my favorite take out Chinese in the area. Normally eggplant and garlic sauce is dripping with oil. This was not. Ditto for the tofu. There are slight extra charges for things such as putting egg in the vegetable fried rice, but it is made the way we asked it to be made, and the delivery was quick and accurate. much better than using an online ordering app. I think the restaurant makes it better with direct ordering and we did too. This will be our go to rather than the two or three others in the immediate area.

I asked for no broccoli. Half of my husband’s meal had broccoli in it. We got none of those fun, crispy wonton chips. My meal was to be vegetable. Do you see any vegetables?! For 10$!!

Decent place overall, I'm glad we tried it. Almost everything is family style which I understand is common practice for this type of cuisine but it does make dining a little difficult if you have differing tastebuds than your companions. I appreciated the "American Chinese Food" section of the menu, they know how to captivate all audiences. Our server was nice and accommodating. It wasn't too busy as it was St. Patrick's day so we were one of the few tables but regardless the food came out very quickly and we didn't want for anything all night nor did we ever feel rushed even though we were there until closing.

Very satisfied with the authentic Sichuan dishes. The spice levels were something we really enjoyed. The dry hotpot was a good amount for the price. The service was also fantastic. Alcoholic options were on the higher price side so we avoided. Vibe was great and the restaurant is beautiful.

Food is amazing here. “Chicken and mushroom hot pot rice” is worth the wait. The flavor is tastefully balanced with ginger, scallions and right amount of sauce, I.e. not too salty. On the other hand, the “sautéed pork strips with spicy sauce” is spicy enough. A perfect dish to have with white rice. I also order 2 dim sum items and they just make them right. Very pleasant experience here.

We had an exceptional experience with this Chinese restaurant! The Chicken Fried Rice and Sesame Chicken were delicious, each dish bursting with flavor, clearly prepared and packaged with great care. We skipped the Fried Chicken and Egg Roll on our second order as we didn't enjoy them the first time—the chicken was burnt, and the egg roll was dry. Although the Sesame Chicken was excellent, it came without rice. Fortunately, we had ordered the Chicken Fried Rice separately. We can't wait to visit in person and enjoy more of their fantastic food. Highly recommend!

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.

Amazing first dinner! The atmosphere was great and our waitress CG was very sweet and helpful with menu recommendations! The food was very yummy and I would love to come back in the future with more friends.

P.F. Chang, thank you for providing excellent, safe, delicious gluten free options for Celiacs like me. I loved every bite. Lexa was a gracious, courteous server and I look forward to returning! Highly recommend it to my fellow gluten free peeps! My GF pad Thai was yummy!
