Sun rise Chinese restaurant

Oh gosh, where to begin? We were there on a Saturday and I was hungry. So we ordered 4 egg or spring rolls... more about them later. I got beef in onions because it was spicy. Wife got something else. Our cooked meals were typical Americanized Chinese food. The rolls... were very old and tasted freezer burned. They were the typical kind that look the same everywhere. The coating on the outside tasted worse than cardboard. We tried but could not eat them We even tried scraping out the filling to eat separately. Awful. And, while waiting for our order I casually looked around. The lighting fixtures in the kitchen were so dirty that the light output was reduced by 50% or more. Leads me to wonder if they ever cleaned....anywhere! We will not darken their doorstep again.

We stopped at Sun Rise during the Tugboat Round-up after reading good reviews. All we had was a pint of roast pork chow mein, rice and an egg roll. Based on that, we'll go back again. I asked for the chow mein to be made with mushrooms and the pork sliced into matchsticks. It was made as requested and delicious. Brown sauce was excellent. And husband said it was the best egg roll he had ever had. VERY happy with our picnic while watching the boats.

Ordered lunch combo, no soda delivered as was supposed to be. I cane down three flights of stairs to get the order, delivery girl was too lazy to walk up sidewalk to the door, expected me to go to her car. Very unfriendly too! The hot and spicy shrimp was anything but hot or spicy. Shrimp was tough and chewy yuck. Never again!

I always order the vegetable Mai Fun #52 on the menu lol. I ordered it tonight & it had big sliced mushrooms in it which it never had before. Please continue making it this way. It turned a great dish into a fabulous dish. Yum, if you haven’t tried this dish before it’s a must. The portion is huge.

Both the sweet & sour chicken and crab ragoons were overcooked. We couldn't even eat the chicken it was so hard. I called but they wouldn't bring a replacement. As we had it delivered. I live in Waterford and gave them several chances with prior bad orders but now done!

Where to begin with my beloved sunrise restaurant? I literally grew up across the street and on their cuisine. I’ve spent a small fortune eating here and have never regretted it. As a kid I’d sometimes scrounge up a buck just to buy an egg roll. They knew my order by heart and would ask if I’d get the usual when I called. As I’ve gotten older, I can’t eat at other Chinese restaurants; they simply can’t hold a candle to sunrise. My family agrees, this is the best Chinese food in the capital region maybe the US!. From perfect fried rice, to crab Rangoon, general tso, bbq spare ribs, beef teriyaki, and their legendary egg rolls you can’t go wrong!

It was ok pieces of Gen Tso chicken were a bit on the large side. My styrofoam container was put in the plastic bag sideways which means a good amount of the pork fired rice was in the bottom of my bag, snafu... Sauce was tasty nice amber color. Would of gave more stars if chicken was a bit smaller because they looked like large meatball size. Chicken could of been cooked more throughly. I’ll give them another try next week hopefully with a better review w/ more stars.

They're the best in the area, and there are probably 6 or 7 in the Waterford-Cohoes-Lansingburgh area. They're not a full 5-stars because it's not somewhere you're going to sit down to enjoy the meal, but as far as the menu is concerned, there isn't a dish on here that I don't love getting.

The food was awful. They didnt give me pork fried rice or an egg roll when I had asked for a combo. Im new to the area and trying to find good take out places. So far not having much luck up here.

This restaurant has gone down hill. They forgot the sauce and took 15 minutes to bring sauce for now cold food. Found shaved plastic in the lo mein noodles. I don’t know if they changed management but it has gottten very bad.
