Northeast Chinese Ii - Albany

Is this the best Chinese food I’ve ever had? No. Is it the best I’ve had since moving to the Capital district from Queens? Yes. The food was quite good, except it was much too salty, and very oily. As you can see from the pic, the double cooked pork was sitting in a pool of oil. Also, don’t expect your food to come all at once, or even within 5 minutes of each other. We waited 35 minutes for our first dish, Ma Po Tofu. Meanwhile, people at other tables, who were seated after us, had already gotten some of their food. We waited a good 12 minutes for the next dish, twice cooked pork, to arrive. The next table meanwhile had four dishes of food on their table, although they too were seated after us. So although all the wait staff was very nice, I really do wonder if there is some subtle favoritism to Chinese patrons, as mentioned in other reviews. That being said, I’d return here, but I’m also continuing my search for my “go to” Chinese restaurant.

I ordered pickup and was told 30 minutes. Here I am at 1.5 hrs in and still waiting and being told food will come in 3 mins Revised: way better now

I tried a few good dishes but disappointed with their belly pork 红烧肉 . Food served within minutes upon ordering. Nice dumpling and they served good vinegar!!

Authentic Chinese! Basically the same dishes you’d get in China, very authentic taste. Generous portions for the price

The food portion is really big and delicious. Very good value.
