Mon Jin Lau Restaurant in Troy

Great ambience and awesome food. Sushi was good. Appetizers were also delicious.

This was the worst customer service experience I have had anywhere. I ordered a Mulan roll. After trying to overcome the fishy taste of the lobster using soy sauce and wasabi, my friend (to whom I had not mentioned the flavor of my lobster) noticed that her lobster tasted “funky.” Not only would the manager not refund my meal because I “had eaten too much of it,” yelled at us and told us that he tasted the lobster and it tasted fine. I will not be going back. If you do, I recommend avoiding the lobster. The manager clearly doesn’t know what it is supposed to taste like.

Very nice classy

My wife ordered shrimp noodles and it had a very strong curry powder taste that she couldn't eat it at all. We expressed it to the waitress when we were asked how the food tasted. I would have been more than happy to pay for it if someone apologized. But instead we got a stale comment from the waitress saying that my wife ate most the shrimp but the noodles. I found it demeaning and disrespectful. You are running an upscale place, act like one to keep your business. Don't act cheap.

Thank God you guys are opening on Friday May 1st for Curbside Carryout and Delivery! Will definitely be ordering on Friday!

My date took me to this really interesting unique restaurant last night and when I tell you I have NEVER been so thoroughly impressed by a dish. We had the Great Wall, salmon by the sea, and fire cracker sushi and they were the best sushi I have ever had in my life. Seriously best food ever which only made this one of the best dates I’ve ever been on.

Great atmosphere and great at enforcing distancing. Food was exceptional and drinks were good

Great place and really good food. Salmon on the beach is highly recommended! Also, birthdays are pretty fun, you get a special birthday head (see photo), they're unique.

This place does not care about your diet. Being vegan I specifically asked for no fish oil on my food. I get my food, it clearly tastes (and looks) like fish/oyster oil. When i contacted them, they tried convincing me it was soy sauce. The dish did NOT at all taste like soy. I even felt sick shortly after; luckily I didn’t eat much.

Ordered take out from here for dinner. Vegetable lo mein noodles were half burned as you can see in the photo. Hunan spicy chicken was supposed to be "crispy chicken with hunan sauce" as mentioned in the menu, but it instead was extremely soggy chicken floating in a sea of sauce as you can see in the picture. For a place that charges so much for a simple chicken and noodle dish, you would expect better quality and more attention to detail. Don't recommend wasting your time or money here.

They took extra caution due to the virus going around. They bleached all menus. Food was amazing quality. Our server was Michelle. She was super efficient. Food was fresh and popped with flavor!! Would visit again

First time visiting but certainly not my last. I had the perch, he had the sea bass and both were delicious. I forgot to take a picture of the sushi but it was delicious as well.

Good Asian restaurant... Nice place to go with friends... Service is good... Desserts is not upto the expectation.. Remaining all it is good.

If you’re looking for a classy Asian cuisine experience. This is the place. Fantastic sushi plates and grade A traditional Chinese food. Prices are a bit high so expect to have a high bill. Fantastic spot for a romantic date and the outdoor patio is great, especially on their Shanghai Wednesday’s event they have.

Good upscale Asian dining in a fun atmosphere. Be sure to have a reservation during peak times. Large selection of dishes, sushi, and drinks. The Thai Chicken and Sesame Salmon were delicious and the others in my party enjoyed the Budda's Delight and Mongolian Beef.

Best Asian fusion around. Once a week I come to visit at least. Best sushi around and best personalities. Lisa and the 🍣 chefs are terrific. Lisa is family. Once again delicious. I wouldn't choose another place for a bite. Locally located and portions are generous. Phone is terrific. Sushi artist at his finest. Ladies night tonight 😴 but I'm sure the Gentlemen will show them a great time 😁. Once again at my happy place.

Make a reservation if you go on the weekend. We figured that out the hard way when we went on a Saturday and were told 10 minutes until everyone started showing for their reservations. Ended up waiting 30 minutes or so. We sat at the bar which was crazy busy but the sake was decent and our sushi was good. We thought it was better the last time we were there though. Maybe it was a busy night and quality was lacking a bit??

Good food.. Good service. Price is not that expensive, its just above the regular price, But worth for the authentic taste food and the overall experience.

Great friendly service. Meals were appropriately priced and everything tasted excellent. Will gladly return to again.

Was amazing! Tried to go to a different restaurant last night and fortunately there was no room to park. We decided to try this place. The food was great. the service was outstanding. A bit pricey but well worth it! Will definitely be going back.

A local staple that has been around for a long time. The food is solid but the interior/parking lot needs some refreshing. Very nice menu and some of the best calamari we have had in a long time

Delicious food and great service. Went for a quick lunch today with my girlfriend, both of our first times going there, and we were not dissapointed! 10/10 will go to again! We were seated right away, and were in and out, no horrible waiting.

My review is limited to the Sushi. Went here for a get together with family, we all of us ordered three to four rolls of sushi per couple. The server was very friendly, made sure we always had drinks and clean plates. The sushi was fantastic, with some very unique and delicious options. The prices were a bit higher than other sushi places, but that didn't bother me as much because the quality justified the price. They have menu slips which have QR codes on them, so using your smart phone, you can bring up all their menus easily so you can order without touching a menu. Overall a beautiful restaurant, with exceptional sushi.

There Orange chicken is almost as good as Panda Express.....jk. It rocks!

WORST EXPERIENCE IVE EVER HAD. I'VE NEVER BEEN THIS DISRESPECTED IN MY LIFE. FIRSTLY, THE WAITRESS DIDN'T REFILL MY COKE FOR 45 MINUTES AFTER I ASKED HER TO AND WHILE I WASN'T LOOKING SOMEONE CAME AND TOOK MY PLATE AWAY WHEN I WAS STILL EATING. THEN I ASKED FOR ANOTHER MEAL THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T BRING ME ONE BECAUSE IT WAS TOO EXPENSIVE FOR THEM. THEY INSTEAD BROUGHT ME ONE SMALL SPRING ROLL. THEN WHEN I TOLD THE MANAGER THAT I HADN'T GOTTEN MY REFILL IN 45 MINUTES, HE HAD THE AUDACITY TO TELL ME OUR PARTY HASN'T EVEN BEEN HERE FOR THAT LONG WHEN WE CLEARLY HAVE BEEN THERE FOR OVER AN HOUR. WORST SERVICE. HORRIBLE PEOPLE. NOBODY APOLOGIZED. NEVER COMING BACK THERE AGAIN.

Great food and cool DJ on Wednesday after 9pm

Food is ok, sting beans were a bit undercooked but the spring rolls were about of this world. All of the soup choices are good and the dessert is a nice compliment to finish the night. I would recommend the sizzling rice soup, the scallion pancakes, and the chocolate mousse. Overall it is a decent place.

Authentic delicious food. Clean. Waitress was pleasant and food came out hot and timely. Extensive menu

I went here to celebrate my birthday! I loved this place’s atmosphere and food! I particularly loved the art on the walls. It was just a perfect night honestly:) Our waitress was very punctual, professional and kind :) I shall return here! Thank you

Love my Sam on the beach! The best I ever ate!

Food was pretty tasty. Comfortable place to grab some quick food

We came here for my cousin’s birthday, and we really liked the atmosphere. The food took a little while to come, but we did also order a lot of food. In the grand scheme of things, I think they paced it well between sushi and the main meals, however, I can see how it could be problematic is someone got sushi as their main meal. Overall, the food was flavorful, and the waitress was relatively attentive. I’d come back.

Wonderful experience! Delicious drinks and food! Great family birthday outing!

They were easily able to make vegetarian dishes vegan, and can probably accommodate many other dietary restrictions as well. Good selection of drinks, good service, friendly staff.

Great food and friendly staff. They stay open late on Wednesdays for special events and it’s a lot of fun! However, it’s too crowded and the service is so slow sometimes.

Wonderful meal for 6 on ChristmasEve. Place was packed but food and service was excellent. We chose to order all appetizers (think small plates) and that was THE way to go....everyone got to sample a variety of dishes and nobody left hungry. Great evening

Great selections. Prompt and courteous staff. We had a team dinner here, it worked out great.

Terrific happy hour. Very accommodating oh, excellent service excellent food and prices for happy hour.

Great mix of Asian inspired food. Highly recommend the Singapore noodles, and the shishito peppers!

Delicious food, nice atmosphere, great service! Been coming here for special occasions a lot of my life. Just wish they could specify on the menu what vegetarian items are also vegan and/or can be made vegan.

Very well organised and welcoming restaurant. They offer big portions and for affordable prices. I loved the meals a lot and the staff were very affable and explanatory. Recommended.

Best place for Asian food in Troy, hands down. Great happy hour, great staff. If you've never been there, you need to check it out.

Never disappointed at Mon Jin Lau! Excellent food at a reasonable price.

Years since I have been there. Was disappointed in food flavor, nothing we ate was exciting. All items individually priced, rice, and soup not included in meal, making two chicken entrees nearly $50.

It should be mentioned in the menu that the General Tsos chicken is not breaded. I always get General Tso's chicken at Chinese food restaurants and it's never been not crispy and breaded. I almost thought I had the wrong order.

We met with friends at this spot for lunch. This place was recommended to us by a friend. Well, we were not disappointed. The crew welcomed us with a smile and we felt very good. The food was just great. We enjoyed every moment and we shall definitely come back again. Recommended.

We always have fun there. Friendly staff good food.great for groups

They are pretty good. Its a popular spot. They will bring your order out to you.

All the food was delicious. Really nice atmosphere. A lot of fun.

I thought the food was pretty stellar, it's definitely more expensive than other Chinese restaurants. I would love to come back but honestly for two people we spend $60 without much problem I don't foresee myself coming back to often, maybe once every 2 weeks. Either way the food was amazing and the staff did a great job.
