Northeast Chinese II

This Chinese Northern Eastern style restaurant is generally rated 4.5 stars, and being in Albany bumps it up to 5 stars.

Must-try: five-color Chinese salad (五彩大拉皮)

Recommendation: fried eggplant with minced pork (肉沫茄子) and the stir-fried taro with sugar coat (翻沙芋头).

Food: I've visited twice and tried the five-color Chinese salad, fried eggplant with minced pork, stir-fried taro with sugar coat, stewed baby chicken with Chinese mushrooms (小鸡炖蘑菇), and stewed pork bones with bean sauce (酱大骨). The five color salad is a delightful mix of mung bean noodles, vegetables, and a standout sauce. The "mino" (a traditional Chinese raincoat makes out of straw) eggplant dish showcases the chef's skill, with the eggplant sliced thinly and connected. The sugar-coated taro was surprisingly good, tastier than the candied version. While the stewed pork bones with bean sauce and stewed baby chicken were decent, the pork bones are not leg bones and the chicken portion in the soup was small.

Note: They offer a discount for cash payments.

Parking: free parking in the plaza parking lot.

I had a wonderful experience at the Northeastern Chinese restaurant, where I tasted a variety of dishes from the region. The Japanese braised tofu was soft and flavorful, with a rich sauce that complemented the rice. The red hot pepper sauce beef was spicy and tender, with a hint of sweetness and vinegar. The fish with tofu was a hearty dish, with a crispy skin and a smooth texture. The pumpkin fried was a pleasant surprise, with a crunchy exterior and a sweet and creamy interior. The chicken crispy fried in small pieces with red spices was a delight, with a crispy coating and a juicy meat. The squid fried was also delicious, with a chewy texture and a savory seasoning. Everything was top of the level, and I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who loves authentic Chinese cuisine.

The fried ribs, cabbage&pork belly, tofu & sweet potato dessert were all amazing! It has a family style atmosphere, with large portions. It’s a very popular place to eat for authentic Asian cuisine.

Found This Place Looking For Something Different To Eat With My Sisters, The Guy Who Took My Order Was Very Friendly And Even Gave Me Some Good Suggestions On What To Try, I Had The Panfried Dumplings With Soy Sauce And Beef And Broccoli With White Rice. I Can Honestly Say The Food Was A 10/10, Fully Cooked, Fresh And Warm Not Too Seasoned, It Tasted Perfect, Definitely Would Recommend.

It serves surprisingly delicious authentic Chinese dishes! Certified by authentic Chinese. More than tasty, even for vegetarians. Interior is spacious and tables are set at reasonable distance so it's not as noisy as other Chinese restaurants. Clean, efficient and the staff is very friendly all the way, accommodating and generous. The manager made us a complimentary dessert made of taro wrapped in sugar, which surprised all friends from Asia. It's certainly a wow-experience on one's tiring road trip. Feels like home back in Asia.

Very Good traditional Chinese restaurant～👍🏻 very satisfied ～ Especially the fish in spicy soup! So yummy!!! Definitely come back again! Super recommend!

Very good northern Chinese food! Portions were great and can be shared. Reasonable prices. We definitely enjoyed our dinner here

The very best northeastern Chinese meal in the region. I can’t wait to go back with my family to devour the authentic Chinese

On our way to thousand islands, we stopped here for lunch. Even though we did some Googling and saw the reviews are great, we didn’t expect much from this place. After all, why would anyone expect to find some authentic Chinese food in this “remote” place? Guess what? It totally beats our expectation! Actually it’s top notch Chinese food! So we dined here again on our way back to Boston!

As a Beijinger, this place really hit the spot! So many childhood memories in terms of flavour. All the food I had was very authentic and delicious! I will definitely be coming back when I pass by Albany.

So lucky in Albany to have authentic Szechwan food. Tonight was sliced potato and stir fried spicy squid. Spectacular combinations of flavor. The heat of the squid with the cool potato and thin almost shredded texture. Just wonderful. The tea and beer the perfect complement. Efficient and friendly service. Just come and basque in the goodness.

This is a legit Chinese place. Good taste profile. Eggplant with pork is nice, the snow pea leaf with garlic is fragrant.

real Chinese chinese food vs panda express, you know what I mean....

good service, will return again.

Great food and friendly service. Pan fried dumplings, double cooked pork belly and clams with spicy sauce.

The food is delicious. I've tried several dishes and also went with a dish that was recommended by the owner. I especially liked the shrimp with crispy red peppers.
Staff are friendly and the service was good. I've gotten take-out from here several times and it's my go to, especially for Szechuan food.

The best Chinese restaurant I have met in US. Really delicious! The food is awesome!

I passed by here on my way from Montreal to NYC and it was a pleasant surprise, it was so good!

I have been here more than five times and each time the food was quite tasty. The only problem is what to choose, all the dishes are good.
The service is discreet and the atmosphere is pleasant, especially if one comes with friends.
The restaurant is situated in a strip mall.

Awesome !!! There is absolutely no reason i won’t give a five star! The food is so great, very tasty but not expensive. The service is also great.

Definitely recommended!

满满的纯东北人的热情与实惠！

Overall pretty nice. Though there might be times you need to wait a bit. Price is moderate as well
