Albany, NY | Restaurant with Generous Great Food, and Cozy Ambiance

On our way back from leaf-peeping 🍁, we passed through Albany, the capital of New York State, and discovered this restaurant offering large portions, delicious food, and a pleasant atmosphere. Compared to NYC prices, it’s such a great deal! The flavors are authentic, and we were so full we couldn’t finish everything. Took the leftovers home for another satisfying meal. Recommendations: 1️⃣ Di San Xian (Stir-fried Potato, Green Pepper & Eggplant) 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 So flavorful 😋, and the ingredients are spot-on. Special shoutout for using Chinese eggplants 🍆 instead of the firmer American variety—it makes all the difference! The potatoes were soft and tender, too. 2️⃣ Crispy Spicy Chicken Strips 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Savory, spicy, and crispy fried chicken strips that instantly brought back childhood memories—absolutely delicious! 3️⃣ Japanese Tofu with Sauce 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Haven’t had this in a long time! The sweet, tangy, and savory sauce was perfectly thickened 👍. Not Recommended: The Pork Knuckle was a letdown. First, it wasn’t actually knuckle—just spare ribs. Second, it was underseasoned and bland, needing soy sauce to add flavor. One dish per person is more than enough to leave you stuffed. We also noticed they offer hotpot! The moment we stepped in, the aroma made our empty stomachs growl even louder 🤤. 📍 Northeast Chinese II 📍 900 Central Ave, Albany, NY 12206 #NYState #UpstateNY #AlbanyEats #Albany #AlbanyFood#NYCFood #NYCFoodGuide
