  This place is great.
  We've been here many times since it opened.
  There are dishes not available else where in Albany, NY.
  The foods are prepared delicately. When it says spicey, it is, but it is still enjoyable.
  Sweet, sour, absolutely, but not sickly sweet, or overpoweringly vinegary.
  Go to this place. Eat. Order the string beans and any fish dish.
  Enjoy.

  Hu's rocks.  It's one of the few places where you're able to get authentic soup dumplings and dim sum in this entire region of NYS. The servers are very kind and sweet, especially to me as I have a sometimes hangry toddler, they make the toddler laugh and deflect so that he calms down. Good guys all around!
  
  I love the family style seating with the lazy Susan circular table in the middle for sharing. It reminds me of the family I've always wanted but don't have close by, rolling 8 to 10 deep with a squad to fill our bellies with amazing food. I would love to come here with a UYE if those even exist in this area, with folks that know this cuisine well so that I can try more of the menu items.
  
  The soup is perfect, dim sum on point, the rice dishes are standard fare and the folks are nice. I drive well over an hour to come here if I'm remotely in the area (which is used in broad terms) and it's a must stop if I fly into ALB before the long drive home. Great find.

  I really like this place. It is fairly authentic, but still has a lot of Americanized Chinese food fusion. The place is clean and has great service that is professional and quick. They are kid friendly and have large round tables if you want to bring the whole family. It is a perfect place for authenticity snobs and picky family to go to together.
  
  Some of my favorites here are the Chicken and chestnut, double cooked pork, mu-shu pork, lions head meatballs, and the braised pork belly. I love the Seafood spicy soup.
  
  The dim sum is tasty as well.

  My husband and I were going from Ithaca to middle of  nowhere Vermont, so we decided to stop in Albany as a half way point. We looked this place up ahead of time and it didnt disappoint. Someone recommended the steamed green beans and they were cooked wondefully. A little salty but perfect with brown rice. We also got an assortment of buns and dumplings and all were delightful. My favorite was the house shumai and my husband's was the juicy buns. They are like meat gushers. Enjoy your visit here as the staff is also very kind.

  Came here for soup dumplings. Was very surprised how good they were. I have had soup dumplings that are supposedly famous and these were easily on the same level. Also, service was good..didn't have to ask for refills and they were not as rude as some places can be. Wish I didn't live so far away
