Fujiya Ramen

Reviewed By James H

Recently we visited this restaurant while staying in the Albany area, and were delighted to experience truly authentic ramen, prepared extremely well and served with a smile. One of us got the chicken-broth based ramen, the other two of us pork-broth based The noodles were superb, perfectly cooked in a rich and very flavorful broth. Our server was delightful, service was prompt and our entire experience was outstanding. Pricing was very moderate. Highly recommended!

Kuma Ani Japanese Restaurant

Reviewed By Akalith

On a trip from the New York City area to the Adirondacks, this restaurant seemed like a good halfway stop for lunch. The "Any 3 rolls for $11" for lunch for my wife (Eel and Cucumber, Spicy Salmon, and Peanut Avocado), and my $9.95 Bento Box with Shumai, California roll, white rice and sashimi were all tasty, and went well with my Allagash beer ($5) -- but we both came away with unsettled stomachs, which never happens when we eat the same foods in Jersey City/Manhattan sushi restaurants. "All you can eat" must require some shortcuts.

This restaurant, located on New Scotland Ave. between Ontario & Quail, is on a block with multiple businesses. There is a parking lot in back with an entrance off Ontario St. It's pleasant inside with Japanese music playing in the background. We both enjoyed our lunch. I like that they have low sodium soy sauce on the table as an option. I also appreciated that they allowed me to substitute wonton soup, instead of miso soup, with the lunch special (which came with soup or salad). I'm a little surprised though that this New Scotland Ave. area can support both Sake Cafe & Kuma Ani, another good Japanese restaurant, on the same block. Business appears to be good though in both restaurants...

TapAsia

Asian tapas restaurant, specializing in Far East Asian cuisine.

Reviewed By jer b

My wife and I walked past this restaurant , but were intrigued by the concept of Asian tapas, so we went in. We were not disappointed. We decided to eat family style and chose 3 appetizers and a main. The Vietnamese spring rolls were very nicely prepared and artistically presented. Delicious marriage of rice noodles, julienne vegetables and herbs with a delightful sauce. The Takoyaki was something we had never had before. They were little dough balls filled with octopus, pickled ginger and spring onions, with two very nice sauces. Our favorite was the steamed grilled wild mushroom bun. Absolutely delicious. Only regret that we did not order another. The main, Pad Pak consisted of a medley of sautéed vegetables in a brown sauce served with Jasmine rice. Also, very good. Nice atmosphere. Great hostess. She walked us through the menu and helped us select a couple of things we had not had before. We will definitely eat here again.

Nishiki Sushi

Reviewed By sthomas0616

My husband and I were looking for a place close to home to have some sushi and hibachi and decided to try this restaurant and we are very glad we did. Their specialty rolls (we tried two - the Christmas Roll and Sexy on the Beach Roll) were out of this world. My husband had steak hibachi which includes rice, veggies, soup/salad, etc. and he said it was delicious and I had the spicy maki combo which was equally delicious. We chatted with the owner and the entire experience was one we'll have to duplicate because we enjoyed ourselves thoroughly and we were about 3 minutes from home. Can't go wrong with that, right?

Shogun

Sushi lovers welcome! Fresh, traditional sushi and sashimi, regardless of what you’re in the mood for: salmon, tuna, yellowtail, mackerel, uni, and more. We serve all the classic maki rolls, wrapped with just the right amount of sushi rice. Whether you co

Reviewed By masaccio

Service was outstanding and very friendly, and the sake martinis cocktails we had were delicious. Starter of gyoza was excellent and we shared a sushi and sashimi platter to follow. The platter is certainly enough for the two people stated. The fish was overchilled and almost certainly frozen so sushi snobs won’t be overly happy as it does kill the taste and mouthfeel. It was nicely presented though.

Tanpopo Ramen and Sake Bar

Reviewed By Roger K

Boy it’s taken us a long time to get here. On this cold blustery evening we lucked out. Well, kind of. We only had to walk half of a block in the cold wind after we found a parking place, and while the restaurant was jam packed full with five people standing inside waiting ahead of us, they were all in a single party and a booth for two opened up right away.Now it’s important to keep in mind that this former railcar-style diner (Miss Albany) is so old (1941) that the cold outside permeates the glass windows. Fortunately, there was a heater directly under our table to help offset some of that cold.My wife was happy to see that the place had been cleaned up considerably since it was last open as the Miss Albany Diner several years ago and the original character was still intact. There was a decent selection of craft beers available, even though they were out of the stout that I ordered. So we ended up with a pair of Chatham Brewing stalwarts – Czech’rd Past Pilsner and Farmer’s Daughter Rye IPA ($6 each).We started with the Roast Duck Buns ($7 for 2). The duck was tender and full of flavor while the buns were light, puffy and airy.My wife ordered the Tanpopo Spicy Ramen ($12) with an optional Seasoned Boiled Egg ($2). The Chashu pork was tender, the Tonkotsu broth was rich and only slightly spicy to allow all the other flavors to come across.I ordered the Roast Duck Ramen ($13) which comes in a chicken broth. But it wasn’t just any old chicken broth. Enriched by the chopped pieces of duck with both bone and fat intact, the broth was both rich and full of flavor. If you’re not accustomed to gnawing meat off of small chopped bones, or someone who eschews the fat and skin of the duck, this dish is not meant for you. Otherwise, the meat is tender and did I mention it adds much richness and flavor to the broth?Service is friendly and efficient even with a full house.
