East Lake Chinese Restaurant

This place is great. Carry out only at this time. They have a full menu. I have been going there for a long time and love their combo meals.

Had been here three times and Uber eats once, I would say it's the best spicy (call it spicy coz it has both HuNan and Szechuan dishes) Chinese food in the area. Attentive services and reasonably priced.

As a Cantonese person, this is some good quality dim sum.

Waitresses are very pleasant and the environment is so peaceful. Sometimes they will play Chinese shows on a monitor in the back. The food here is excellent, the best restaurant for Chinese cuisine in the area. Much better than the westernized Chinese you’ll find in restaurants around Birmingham or Detroit. I highly recommend the cold spicy chicken and the fried rice. The beef chow mein and sautéed squid are very good as well. Altogether an exceptional experience for a fair price.

Also the waitresses will push around carts with baked goods, which you can grab at anytime. The tarts are so good!

really delicious dim sum! be aware the sign now says “royal palace” fyi. the other negative reviews must be people that just like to complain because the food was delicious and the service was friendly and speedy!! we really enjoyed our experience.

Stuffed bean curd roll were as delicious, steam pork rib and curry baby squid were also solid. Other dishes we ordered (eggplant, string beans, noodles) were not as noteworthy, but I'd definitely go for the dim sum! The restaurant was elegant, and the service was nice and friendly. Recommended!

Amazing dim sum! Great selection of delicious, fresh food. I went with a family who used to live in China, and they said the food was very authentic. The chicken feet were good but spicy. The don tat and pork dumplings in particular were delicious.

Excellent food, very traditional northern Chinese cuisine. Generous portions, fresh vegetables and warm flavors. Not the typical American/Chinese fare. Prices for dinner on the higher side but as expected with the quality of the food. Lazy Susan in the center of the table to make sharing family style service with everyone at the table.

Surprisingly good! I grew up in Toronto eating really good dim sum, so I came with pretty low expectations, but wow! It reminded me of home! A bit expensive compared to Toronto though, but the quality was pretty close to it. It was even better than the dim sum that I had in LA!

$2.95 Small (13 items)

It's really authentic, so come if you're wanting to eat "real" Chinese food.

The food and service are really good. I really like the spicy food there. Haven’t try the dim sum here yet, but it seems pretty good. It is my favorite Chinese restaurant around. Usually bring my friends to there due to the elegant interior decorations, better than the other Chinese restaurants around.

Food is fast fresh and healthy real good ok service

Excellent food -- basically every dish we had for our Chinese New Year meal was really good. Seasoning was well-done (not overly salted), flavors were fresh and bright. Especially good was the pork with black bean sauce.

Real dim sum on carts everyday. This is authentic Chinese cuisine. Have been there multiple times never had any problems, the staff is friendly and the turn over on the carts during lunch is quick. Highly recommend.

I'm sure that they provide the best taste.

I love their fried fish - so light and crispy. And those hours they sell dim sum is fun and tasty. A friend from China has recommended this restaurant and I always make a point of going when I am in town.

Woohoo! An authentic Chinese place in troy, They have Szechuan, dim sum, parts of Shanghainese and Beijing dishes. For dishes! We got the Mapo Tofu, Chef's Special Sole Fish Fillet with Tender Tofu and Pork Intestines, Chef’s Special Dry Chili Chicken, Fresh Crabmeat with Fish Maw Soup (the flavor + soup was excellent), and Roast duck Everything was really good, the flavor was excellent, and large servings. We had 4 people and ordered 3 main dishes, 3 rice, and 1 appetizer. The service was pretty good, our waitress warned us that some dishes might not come out at the right time.

Very tasty Chinese restaurant. Finally found a wonderful American Chinese food. Large portions.

The Hot-n-Sour Soup was delicious.

The General TSO's Chicken was good, but ask for the spice.

This isn't your average Americanized Chinese restaurant! I had the pleasure of visiting China over this past year and the food here has been some of the closest (and in some instances) exactly like what I had over there! Definitely go family style dinner if you do go.

The food was amazing, service was great, and The food did not taste sugary and salty like normal American chinnese restaurants, I don't know why this place is 3.8 stars because in my opinion it is literally the best food I have had in about 2 years!!!

Authentic Chinese food. Delicious and good service
