People hate on this place WAYYYYY too much. I've personally always loved the food, and haven't noticed any changes in quality since I've started eating here 10 or so years ago. The sesame chicken has always been delicious, and while the sauce isn't the most flavorful, it's the perfect consistency, and I find it delicious. The egg rolls have always been great, especially with duck sauce on them. The lo mein is always very yummy, and to all those who make comments about the shrimp toast, it's supposed to be greasy, and whenever I get it's it's still crispy. Last thing to address, to those who don't like the dining area inside, have you ever been to a Chinese restaurant before? This is what they look like. It's made to be a takeout place, the interior dining isn't the main attraction. Love this place, always have, always will.
The best part of the meal was the lo mein which was really mediocre. Hot and sour was bland and not spicy. Crab rangoons just tasted like cream cheese. But it was fast. Service: Take out Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $30–50 Food: 1 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 3
Even just walking in and looking around, theres a reason this place is empty. Dated everything. Plastic cutlery in bins, they served us our food in plastic takeout containers despite us dining in. General tso's gao's chicken was bland and forgettable, same with the rice. Still somehow the best part of the experience. The gentle person behind the counter was loud but otherwise inoffensive service. Update: the two others I dined with agreed that it was nasty. Were never eating there again, and personally by the way my stomach felt halfway through the meal I may never want to ever. I havent tried the pizza house next door, but go there instead. time and money will be wasted here. Ruined my day. It appears they use thigh instead of breast for their chicken, making it fatty and unappealing. one of my group ordered pork fried rice, that made us all wonder if there was any pork at all in it.
I haven't been here in a long time, it's a hit or miss, just more misses. We ordered 2 dinner combinations plus xtra egg rolls. All I can say is, it was horriable. Bland and the egg rolls were salty, which was odd, couldn't even eat them. I have my favorite places in Guilderland Cairo that I'll stick with. Food: 1 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 1
Upon my first visit I knew the owner Michelle's name. She is very personable as well as very competent, even during a busy night. I visited over two weeks later and she remembered me. I live 20 minutes away and even though there's a Chinese food place about 500 feet away from where I live, we go out of our way for the quality of the food. Service: Take out
