If you get it to go, they put the noodles and stuff on a tray that sits on top of the broth, which is really cool. The broth was lacking in flavor, very bland.

RAMEN! ...but wait-there's more. So much more than ramen…read more(which was DELICIOUS-I had the vegetable ramen with enoki mushroom, bean sprout, seaweed, corn, bamboo shoots, nori and scallion; I chose the Japanese creamy vegetable broth over the miso soup base). So many soup varieties including Thai style, tomato, original bone broth, spicy, fish maw, chicken, beef, pork and even sauerkraut soups. There are plenty of hot and cold appetizers available plus fried rice and stirfried dishes. Don't forget Boba, fruit teas, milk, teas...etc. Loved my lemon green (fruit) tea with clear boba. I just happened to be driving by between meetings, spotted Ji Bei Chuan and got takeout. Service was awesome...really helpful and fast. There's a good sized dining room if you'd prefer to eat there. I would like to have one of these places closer to home, please. Thank you.

We dropped in after looking at some decent old reviews. The place was empty. Ordered 2 soup dishes…read morethe only guy who was there recommended. When the noodle soup came out, the soup was salty worse than the seawater and noodle was soggy & waterlogged. We immediately brought up the issue the soups were not edible and the guy said it's the matter of personal taste. We tried to leave and the guy bullied we have to pay for 2 soups we could not eat. He threatened he'll call police and we had to pay almost 19$ he demanded without eating any of the atrocious extremely salty inedible stuff he called the matter of personal taste. We'll not go back and do not recommend.

This is a beautiful sitdown, Chinese restaurant with an old-school feel. Two older gentlemen were the waiters and I believe one of them may have been named Simon. He could not have been nicer and more accommodating. I overheard some regulars talking to him, and they definitely felt the same way. I saw several of the dishes that other people were eating, and they all looked delicious. I really like this area of Albany with all the old buildings right by Washington Park and I plan on making Rain part of my regular routine. 100% recommend.

The food was ok, but not particularly more special than my local place I love. The egg drop soup was yummy and smooth.

Went for lunch with my sister-in-law on a Wed. arriving at 12:15. Parking lot was almost full, and…read moreit had just opened at noon. Walked in and almost EVERY table had diners. By 12:30, every table was occupied. What? Great reputation! We were seated at a small but nice window table right away. Immediately, we received a pot of tea. We placed our order since I had to be home by 1:30. Turned out we were served quickly considering how busy the kitchen must have been. Our Hot and Sour Soups came within 7-10 min. followed by our lunch choices. Hot and Sour Soup was outstanding. My go to anytime it is on menu, so I compliment from experience. It had a flavorful base that was perfectly sweet and sour. The tofu was sliced small, and the mushrooms had a pleasant texture and taste. Delicious! Sesame Chicken was with a sweet and tangy sauce that hit all the right notes. It was made with nice size chunks of white meat. Broccoli was not over cooked. Pork with Garlic Sauce was a great choice. Tender strips of pork covered in a good sauce that was perfect on the rice. We each took a portion of our lunch home so we would have "room" for ice cream. Homemade Ice Cream! Two scoops for each of us: Too delicious to share plus a real treat! *Green Tea/Matcha was deep in color and the flavor--superb. *Red Bean was sweeter, and my taste buds enjoyed every spoonful. Enjoyable lunch at a restaurant where you can count on food being well prepared plus get experienced service. A true GEM.

For dim sum dining, this is the place to go in the Capital Region. For those of you who don't know,…read moredim sum is comprised of small plates of food perfect for sharing. It is mostly eaten for brunch and or lunch. I ordered many small plates but the ones that stood out most were the pork soup dumplings, crab and pork soup dumplings, seafood shumai (a traditional small cup shaped steamed dumpling) the wontons in spicy chili oil, and shrimp dumplings. Additionally I also enjoyed their General Tso's shrimp and Peking Duck. Service here is on point and the waitstaff is attentive. They checked on our table a number of times and the pot of hot tea and iced water with lime wedges did not go unnoticed. Also the ambiance here is nice and the interior space is well maintained and inviting. I highly recommend eating here as the food is authentic and delicious. An exceptional dining experience awaits you!

My review follows the majority with a four star rating…read more The food, service and modern ambiance, were all very good. The wife and I only had the BBQ option. I loved the beef ribs and the marinated meats were all great. The reason for not giving it the last, final, fifth star, was because of the price. Fully realizing food prices are skyrocketing right now, the price and the pricing structure(s) are still my reason for not giving that last star. I would advise simplifying the prices into flat lunch and dinner rates. Wide selection of very good options and a go to for really good KBBQ with the my favorite the beef ribs. I would definitely recommend this place.

As other people have commented, the menu is not the same old Chinese-American in most places. The dry chicken with peppers and peanuts was great! I wrote "less hot" on the order form; not sure if that's what I got, but it was just right. It's going to be tough deciding whether to get that again or try something else. I also got sauteed bok choy that was perfectly cooked and had a nice light sauce on it. $12 is steep for that but there was quite a bit. Spicy squid kabob was way too spicy for me, though maybe if I ordered that less hot?

There were a lot of empty tables when we went, and we were able to get seated rather quickly for a walk-in. My girlfriend (who is Taiwanese) and I shared a few different menu items. T. Roots doesn't have the best Taiwanese food, but it's okay. The soup dumplings were not good, so I wouldn't recommend those. The dumpling skins were too thick and the flavor was off. The wonton soup was better but also quite bland, and the bok choy was a bit undercooked. I asked for less sugar in my Peach Oolong Milk Tea, but it still tasted too sweet. The oyster omelettes were the most disappointing though. There was barely any oyster in it. There were literally only 4 pieces of oyster, so 2 per person. Mostly flour. My favorite dish was probably the bao buns (I think they called it burgers on the menu). The pork belly was tender and delicious! Service was slow in the second half of our visit and we had to leave so we asked for dessert to go. The mantou was yummy! I would definitely recommend the mantou; it's authentic.
