Yes, yes, yes. Also **Paolo Lombardi’s** , just a little ways past Villa… More upscale, excellent food, huge portions.

I didn’t think it was as good as the Dino in Rochester. I also was pretty scared when my sister and I got off the subway and had to wander around Harlem at 10pm looking for the place… :runaway

**Goomba’s** in East Greenbush has great pizza, IMO.

**The Barnsider** , off of Wolf Rd, has divine filet mignon béarnaise.

And I must mention good ole **Gene’s Fish Fry** , a staple of E.G., for great cheeseburgers and milkshakes. ;D

Tried to read through this quick but… Sorry if someone already gave a “review”…

Has anyone tried PF Chang’s yet? Is the food good, and is it worth the money?

Dude… who goes to a Japanese restaurant for fillet mignon? lol

But yeah Koto, I know what one you’re talking about… they do have good food.

This post is about finding some place new though, I just don’t wanna waste money doing it. :tong

I’ve been to the one in Rochester numerous times, and loved it, although it is a bit pricey for lo mein / orange chicken.  
Tried the one in Colonie Center a month or two ago, and ordered my favorite (kung pow chicken), but it was dry and not nearly as good as when I had it in Rochester. They’ve been open since October, so they don’t really have an excuse…  
Everything else was good, though. If you do give it a shot, get the lettuce wrap appetizers… DELICIOUS!

i think the best pizza in the area is either homestyle on Union st, or Prima Pizza across from Metro Ford. both also have good pasta dishes as well.
