"I live on Hoosick street and this is one of my go to spots for Chinese food, I've ordered from here multiple times and every time i have ordered the food was great. Example: fried chicken cook well never burnt or over cooked. Any of the fried rice always flavorful and pack with meat and veggies and they give a generous amount. Beef and broccoli and shrimp and broccoli are very tasty but just like most Chinese restaurant they will give you more veggies than meat. Overall I cant say the food has ever been nasty in my opinion that is I very much enjoy the food. Service wise they have good and bad days I always give them the benefit of the doubt because of the location and individuals they have to deal with on a day to day basis, the counter lady has been rude before to me but it never felt personal, came off as shes just over the day and tired of the people and want to go home. Again we are near the Ghetto so I can understand lol. Atmosphere i give a 2 star just because the few times I've been in there the guest stink and the tables will sometimes need to be wiped down and the seats aren't the cleanest."

"If you want to order Chinese food in Troy, order it from someone in India, be gaslight about why they can’t check the status of your order after an hour (they’re not sitting in the store) and then be called a liar by the owner until you show him proof or wait times, this is your place! The food is delicious but I will never order from this outsourced customer service store."

"First time trying it and we will be back! Shrimp and snow pea was the best we’ve had and the dumplings were awesome. Only complaints would be I wanted more dumplings (6 to an order) and the orange chicken sauce was a bit bland but still a good spot. Will be back!"

"I ordered hot and spicy chicken for the first time. The chicken was finely sliced, the veggies were not over cooked, and the dish was flavorfully delightful! Very speedy and great service. That won’t be my last order. Thank you Green Shell!"

"Rarely do I give a place one star, but this place earned it. I went for lunch, it was not busy and I ordered the General Tso's chicken with white rice. Add a can of Pepsi and the total cost was $7. Not bad. The food arrived fast and hot and looked okay so I was hopeful. The counter women was not very friendly, but I was looking for a good lunch not a friend. The rice was terrible and tasted like instant rice. The chicken was awful and I actually spit it out (into my napkin of course) I bit into a few other pieces in case I had a bad one but they all were terrible. The flavor was not right at all. Do yourself a favor and go up the street to 'A Dragon' instead. They are excellent."
