Opinions de En Lai Chinese Kitchen Albany
Have ordered the food many times from here. Have always enjoyed my experience. Food is always Hot. Delivery is always on time. I have never been to the restaurant
The food is not only plenty but delicious, a must check out place 100%
The absolute BEST Chinese I have ever had! My office orders from here often. They have never messed up our orders, are always prompt, prices are comparable to others, and their shrimp w/ mushrooms is delicious! We hope they never change their sauce recipe... perfectly done rice!
It's takeout Chinese, nothing fancy, but the egg rolls are always crispy and I am impressed that they seem to use fresh vegetables in their dishes. I got the cashew shrimp recently and it was loaded with fresh chopped zucchini and carrots, versus other places where it's just a handful of celery and pre-frozen diced carrots. The wonton soup and the wontons themselves have flavor, I think sausage. The crab rangoons are also good and have a nice filling. I have no complaints. You wouldn't expect much when you see the place, but I have been pleasantly surprised by the food. The delivery driver has always been very nice, too!
Atmosphere is N/A. It’s take out only. This place has been in business forever for a reason. It’s always good and at a reasonable price.
Arrived piping hot and uniformly delicious

Really good all around the fried dumplings were great.
This is my first order here. I am new to the area and a few other places I tried weren't so great. We tried several dishes to see how it was overall. The food arrived fast and hot, within 30 minutes. Everything looked and tasted fresh. Hot & Sour soup - had a tad of a sweetness to it and normal spice level Crab rangoons - These are huge. 12 wonton size in an order. Crispy. Vegetable egg roll - Crispy Fried vegetable dumplings - Cooked well. It tasted good. Chicken & broccoli with garlic sauce - Delicious. I only gave it 4 stars because I did not speak with anyone or see the establishment. I ordered on grubhub. I will order again.
This is a take out not eat in place. Our takeout food has always be excellent. We have had moo shu, egg foo young, happy family, sweet and sour chicken. My only suggestion would be thinner dumpling shells. Delivering in the area is fast.

Reasonable priced. Friendly, fast service. Tasted like typical North East Chinese food. No seating area. Takeout only.

Been there over a dozen times and the young lady who cashes you out will never acknowledge you that your transaction is done! Not one word is spoken and I'll be going there today and knowing that no communication is about to happen! Decent food though. The scrimp is low quality but their lunch specials can't be beat!

The food at this restaurant is very very good. At 1st the woman is very very nice to me..I spent like $250 a month because I just wanted Chinese food. Lately. She's been rude. I have kidney disease and I had to go to the bathroom so bad and she told me that her bathroom was broke.

The shrimp is not cleaned, almost exploding with the uncleaned guts. Attaching a picture. I've always liked their food, for a takeout place they taste pretty good but this is a HUGE health concern. Absolutely disgusting.

It's honestly pretty disappointing. But I called in yesterday to place a delivery order through grubhub and it was canceled the first time due to my location(yet I've had previous orders delivered to said address). The second time I called in to see why it was canceled again and they told me it was because they were not doing deliveries. So I ordered again and chose Pickup and my order was canceled again for not having ingredients. Today I chose pickup for the same things and they canceled again for not having ingredients. I was already out and drove back home, told my mother, and she decided she wanted chinese, called them and included the order I wanted. They had everything then and it was clear they lied to me, over and over. I called to see why they lied to me and they just repeatedly hung up on me. If it's the profits then ok, but no explanation is just a slap in the face.
We ordered takeout on Christmas eve via Grubhub which didn't come out until 30 minutes after they said to come. The place was dead when we went to pick the food up so that doesn't make a lot of sense. The wonton soup was pretty bad. The wontons themselves were thick and gummy with very little filling and almost no flavor. I ordered a general tso's chicken combo with shrimp lo mein. They gave me white rice instead of the lo mein. I could see one mistake like that. But we also got white rice instead of an order of chicken fried rice. This seems almost intentional. Either that, or they're incredibly negligent. Meh... do yourself a favor and skip this place.
Food was extremely bland and no flavor or spices. While the service was good. I won’t be returning. I ordered basic chicken and broccoli and lo mein and the sauce and food was like I was just eating wet cardboard. Can not recommend!
Ordered tonight for the second time. Tonight was awful. Chewy sesame chicken and it did not have much sauce on it. You could almost mush it. Will not be coming back.
If I could give zero I would. I ordered the general tso’s and the chicken smelt like fish. I took a couple of bites and had to return it. The lady who takes orders was rude and wanted to argue. Beware of spoiled food
Great food and Super POOR Customer Service ... period ! They need to take customer service training classes pronto...and learning to go above and beyond for the customer and that your in the food service industry and you are providing a service to the individual and the general public. Food safety and honoring the request of the general public and the person is super crucial for their business it should never be rejected any requests. You don't know who is who... So without doing anything for customer(s) when they asking for a request..then you might as well close your doors and don't be apart of the general public and it's food service industry.. please Improvement is must !
I had to post this review for the sake of all people who order from this restaurant. First of all, I never posted a review before in my life but seriously, I repeat, had to do this. I tried delivery from this place since all other places was closed at the time. The first impression I had was how serious are they with their business! I noticed ingredients in my soup was going so bad that the spice of the soup was not able to cover the smell...... ... I had some bad tasting restaurants before but serving food that is turning bad is not something I could let go..
Shrimp was extremely chewy and tasted bad. The pork fried rice tasted like it was made days ago... will never go there again!!!
