Great Authentic Chinese. Best in downtown Albany. So many authentic plates to choose from. Seafood is fresh as well as the other proteins. Service is excellent. Inside is very classy and nice. Cool rotating serving platforms on some tables. They now deliver since the pandemic and continue to do so which is a plus. The delivery is very professional and sealed as can be seen in photo so you know there is no tampering of your food from delivery person. My fav chinese!.

This is hands-down, the best Chinese restaurant in the city of Albany. It has standard Chinese fair that is made just a level above. It also has an air of authenticity as I had on several occasions the steamed fish which they pull out of the tanks and steam hole for an exquisite dining experience. , but on to inexpensive end of the menu even simple dishes like wonton soup or the curry fried rice is excellent. I also will say that they are not afraid to provide large portions for your enjoyment and also to serve as a late night snack.

Food was great. Ambience was cozy and the decor was beautiful. Service was very attentive. No sooner than we sat down they brought our table hot Jasmine Tea for all.

They serve you tea as you sit down and the service is great. Their menu has a variety of food and their portions are really big. Their food is delicious too. They are usually busy but it's a very pleasant experience. Definitely recommend.

This probably one of the best places I've ever gone to for Sichuan cuisine. I routinely ask for the spicy menu and order the fish boiled in spicy sauce. I've yet to find another restaurant that cooks this dish as well as this restaurant. Once when my family and I came for thanksgiving (this restaurant is one of the few open) they gave us free turkey. Apparently they've done this for all customers. Amazing service, amazing food, and one of the most authentic restaurants I've been to. Fair warning though, this place is not for anyone who can't handle spice.

Best orange chicken I ever had! I really liked the dining room decor. The service was excellent, and the food was delicious!

The neighborhood is not the best in Albany but the ambiance and food are unbelieving here. You got real authentic Chinese dishes that aren't take out crap and the prices (especially for the lunch specials) can't be beat. The waiters are very speedy and I've never had any issues with the service. I'm actually shocked that the average customer rating should be higher and I'd give at least a 4 star. Recently we went with the beef and string beans, garlic with chicken, and pan fried pork dumplings. You won't be disappointed here and have enough food on the plate!

This is my favorite resturant for Chinese cuisine. The menu has a huge assortment of both authentic and more americanized choices- and they're all delicious. I also recommend you try the hot pot if you're with a group, it's fun and something most restaurants don't offer. The service has always been very attentive and helpful with menu questions. There is always an older gentleman who is a waiter there and he is very kind, if I knew his name I would thank him here. Clean restaurant, food always shows up in a timely manner. There are fish tanks at the very front which might creep some people out, but if you regularly shop at Asian supermarkets like me it's nothing to bat an eye at. It is pricey but worth it for the quality. Definitely try this place out.

This is a review on Shining Rainbow's dim sum. Shining Rainbow is my new go to dim sum place in Albany. The prices are reasonable and the quality is excellent. They have a huge menu too! Food- Their best dishes include the fried seafood pancake and preserved egg congee. The congee is a huge portion with at least 6 servings and is extremely filling. Their rice noodle shrimp roll is not the thickest but it is still pretty tasty. Their other dishes are well done and the best part is that the prices are reasonable. The service is always polite and formal. Shining rainbow is the best dim sum around and definitely worth it
