Hu's House at 1619 Central Avenue, Albany, New York.

If you want the best Chinese food in town, This is your only stop! From dumplings to traditional Shanghai dishes you can’t get any better. Keep up the good work guys.

This place focuses on Shanghai cuisine. The menu is smaller compared to other Chinese restaurants I have visited, but they're all accompanied by photos. The food itself is very authentic. I went with a group, and we ordered two dim sum dishes, fish soup, noodles, clams, a cold beef dish, and lotus root. All of them were delicious; not too salty or oily. The clams were on par with other non-coastal restaurants. The staff were all attentive and professional. They're all Chinese, but their English is also completely intelligible. I look forward to visiting this restaurant in the future.
