Ruby Asian Bistro - City of Albany

I can't believe I didn't realize this place was here. Only 2 minutes from my home. My favorite Chinese restaurant is in Hudson and living in Albany, I had given up on good Chinese. A random craving and a Google search led me here for takeout. Blown away! Coconut shrimp rice and Egg noodle duck. Two huge portions for a very reasonable price and 2O minute preparation time, accurate to the given estate on the phone. Highly recommend!!

Just keep in mind that Ruby runs late... about 30 minutes (sometimes 45-60min) late at night. They’re a small outfit stubbornly churning out high quality dishes in the minefield of Albany Chinese food. Set your expectations as waiting for quality rather than “having your time wasted” and the rest will be fine. Food is great, fresh, affordable, consistent, good variety. Seafood is fresh and hand-cleaned, sushi is excellent, bubble teas and slushies are awesome, hibachi is good.

Bourbon chicken was SO dry. Same with pineapple chicken. Small portions. The beef noodles were horrible. The beef was chewy, fatty and almost inedible.

This place was dead on a Sunday night. Some takeout going on. But I waited 1 hour. Hopefully the food is good. It was ok. However both my wife's dishes were extremely spicy and I like spicy but I ordered no spice. I don't know how this restaurant can be rated so high!

I had the General Tso’s chicken with the pork fried rice. The chicken was great but the rice was a 10/10 I wish I could describe how special that rice is. Also the atmosphere of the place is awesome, absolutely order here next time you’re looking for fantastic Chinese food!
