“ Consistently good food and fast delivery. I would move if they closed. My fave is sesame chicken. And egg drop soup. ”
“ I always rate a Chinese place by their special dishes. First of the smell of the food alone let me know I was in for a treat. I am a big rice person and rice flavor on its own with all the condiments is very important to me. Their rice ? Poppin. The shrimp with lobster sauce ? Poppin as well. They have pieces of crab meat in it which I've never had, a cool addition. None the less I will be back. ”
“ This is our first time trying Green Shell's food based on a friend's recommendation. We ordered a few basic items: chicken w/broccoli, Fred rice, fried veggie dumplings and boneless pork ribs. All of these items were well prepared, flavorful and hot. We will definitely try other dishes on the menu next time. Recommended! ”
“ Best takeout I have had in Capital District and especially in Troy. No seriously there are a lot of choices for Asian cuisine in the area and some of them are pricey. This place was fantastic, the dumplings were perfectly cooked and the sweet and sour chicken was not over fried and has a different sweet taste for the batter that's around the chicken. Also almost half the price as others. Those of you who follow me know I don't throw out 5 stars but seeing the reviews it's hard to believe it's only been 3 stars so far. The delivery was right in time and man was super nice and most of all the food was hot and ready to go. 5 stars all day baby! ”
“ Green Shell looks like the typical Chinese takeout restaurant in a shopping plaza (Troy Plaza), next to Radio Shack. The place is order at the counter with open kitchen and there is table seating for eating in. This restaurant is pretty clean. The food here is pretty good, with good portions and reasonable prices, most dishes priced under $10, special dishes $8.25-$11.95. I used to eat here for lunch quite a bit when I was taking classes in the area. I still stop in here for lunch takeout whenever I'm in the area. The menu offerings include a good selection of the standard Chinese dishes including Cantonese, Hunan and Szechuan cuisines. The menu states 100% vegetable oil and NO MSG. 50 Lunch Specials (served with pork fried rice and choice of soup or can of soda) are offered for $5.25 plus tax. 11:00 AM-3:30 PM (after 3:30 PM, no soup & soda). 29 Special Combination Plates (served with pork fried rice & egg roll) are also offered $6.75-$7.95. For lunch specials, I enjoy the L4 Shrimp Lo Mein, L29 Scallop with Garlic Sauce, and L43 Eggplant with Garlic Sauce, which are very tasty and served with a light colored pork fried rice with big chunks of tender roast pork, sprouts, & scallions in a durable round microwavable container (I reuse those containers to pack my lunches). The wonton soup choice is pretty good, which has 2 big wontons filled with ground pork in a clear chicken broth. The service here is prompt and I usually can get my order in 5-10 minutes. 10 percent discount with college ID (takeout only) DELIVERY: $10 minimum ”
