Rain Modern Chinese - Albany

One of the serves told me not to come back to the restaurant because I told him he shouldn't tell me how much tip I should give. He's very ridiculous. The other staff are very sweet

My husband and I visited for dinner. We ordered peaking duck, shrimp fried rice, stir fry edamame and shrimp dumplings. I’d pass on the edamame it needed more salt, the shrimp dumplings were not very flavorful, the duck was good I’d order it again. The shrimp fried rice could use some more veggies or even bean sprouts. Also, 20% tip included in the bill even for 2 people.

The food is delicious and the service is among the best. They have a parking lot which helped alleviate the Albany issues. There are very few places I've been that had better Chinese and they are much farther away than rain.

If you 've ever watched Uncle Roger, and thought, What is he talking about? when he talks about Wok Hay... You will learn really fast when tasting the food from Rain. They have serious wok hay game! Also, the soup dumplings are amazing... scallion pancakes are great, and made over the top by the curry they come with. Pork Belly buns? Oh yea! Don 't sleep on those. This was my first experience, but I 'm going to guess that I will not be disappointed in the future with anything I order from this place. They are straight up not messing around.

Absolutely amazing food! Highly recommend the Peking duck and the soup dumplings. It was delicious, the atmosphere was lovely, and service was awesome. Elizabeth, in particular, was incredibly attentive and explained things well. She truly went above and beyond.
