Cheap big bowl, famous Albany Northeast Restaurant
Albany's Go-To Northeast Chinese Spot: Northeast Chinese II โ Affordable & Generous Portions ๐ฅข The famous Northeast Chinese restaurant in Albany lives up to the hype! With $20-30, youโll get massive portions of authentic Chinese comfort foodโno frills, just hearty, flavorful dishes that taste like home. ๐ฝ๏ธ Dish Ratings (Ranked by Recommendation) Shredded Cabbage Sautรฉed ๐๐๐๐๐ A must-order every time! Perfectly cooked with a satisfying crunch, packed with wok hei (wok breath) and savory sauce. Pairs perfectly with riceโyouโll finish two bowls easily, never get tired of it. Northeast Style Cold Tofu Skin (Lapi) ๐๐๐๐๐ So good we always pack an extra to go! Silky smooth tofu skin tossed in sesame paste, vinegar, and chili oilโbalanced sweet, sour, salty, and spicy. Refreshing and addictive, ideal for summer. Sweet and Sour Pork (Guo Bao Rou) ๐๐๐๐๐ A hearty crowd-pleaser! Crispy outer layer with tender pork inside, coated in a tangy-sweet sauce. Portions are huge, but the sweetness is on the heavier sideโdelicious, but share to avoid getting . Sliced Pork with Garlic Sauce ๐๐๐๐๐ A fusion twist (not too northern or southern) but absolutely tasty! Thin, large slices of pork cover the plate, smothered in fragrant garlic sauce. Only minor flaw: slightly salty, which pairs perfectly with rice. Twice-Cooked Pork ๐๐๐๐ Tasty but not a must-order. Fatty and lean pork cooked until crispy yet tender, with rich soy sauce flavor. Portions are smaller than other dishesโgreat for occasional cravings. Boiled Spicy Pork Slices ๐๐๐ Average. The pork is tender and the chili aroma is strong, but the flavor doesnโt penetrate the meat enough. Skip if you crave bold, intense taste. Saliva Chicken ๐๐ Edible but unremarkable. Tastes similar to pre-made versions from Weee! The chicken is tender and affordableโgood for satisfying cravings, but not worth a special trip. Spicy Dry-Fried Chicken ๐๐ Least recommended. Plain flavor with no memorable taste, and the chicken texture is just okay. Tried once, wonโt order again. ๐ Address: 900 Central Ave, Albany, NY 12206๐ฐ Price: $20-30 per person (great value for massive portions) #AlbanyFood #NortheastChinese #ChineseComfortFood #AffordableEats #NewYorkUpstate #AlbanyEats #AuthenticChinese
