He5 Asian Bistro — Restaurant in Troy

Stopped in around 7pm. Was greeted immediately and shown a table. I was the only person dining in. They seem to have a mostly pick-up business. This is a good thing as parking could only handle, maybe, 4 cars. I got the dumplings and chicken pad thai. Dumplings were great. Super crispy on the outside and so nice and tender on the inside. I love that as most dumplings have a dense mouth feel. These were tender. Pad Thai was different. I think they use corn starch or arrow root to thicken the sauce. It was a bit too watery and somewhat tasteless. Which can be better that over seasoned. I did have to add salt which I never have done with Pad Thai anywhere. I know it's not fair that I compare this dish with NYC dishes...but..that's my only reference. This was CHICKEN Pad Thai. I would have preferred the chicken to be more noticeable. It was sliced only slight wider than the noodles and completely disappeared. It was, however, so tender that at first I didn't think there was any chicken. Once I could find it I'm guessing there was no more than 3 ounces of chicken. There was a tiny bit of egg too. I did have a huge carb crash afterwards. Knocked me into a deep sleep for a couple of hours. Music was nice. The lady at the counter was nice too. Place seemed clean. I might try them again. One thing I would ask is that the menu items on the daily special have prices. I'd probably not ordered the dumplings at $9.00 Although there we six and good sized. I'm still sticker shocked that with tip, one person, came...

I was eating here multiple time a week! Great food but service is honestly not up to par every time I call and order delivery I’m put on hold forever to make sure they deliver like I’m confused how that changes daily and I have always paid cash now they refuse to deliver if I’m paying cash it’s new rules every time I order, she gave me a menu with coupons and then refused to accept coupon, multiple times they have given me the wrong order or forgot drinks the food is amazing but the hassle is not worth it. So if you catch them on a good day enjoy the food I guess just don’t make it a...

Best Chinese food in town. We dined in tonight and the food was delicious. My husband and I shared crab Rangoon. They were fresh, hot, plump, and delicious. We both got wonton soup, which was so good. My entree was Kung Pao Chicken while my husband got General Tso chicken. The servings were large and we ended enough for a nice lunch tomorrow. The food was served hot and fresh. The vegetables were fresh and not overcooked, like so many places do. Our server was very friendly and helpful. I'm glad this restaurant is in my neighborhood because I will keep coming...
