Kuma Ani (new Scotland Avenue, Albany)

Lived here 1 year and finally tried this place. Atmosphere is good, wait staff pleasant but busy since it seemed to be only her and the rookie sushi chef or just someone they found in the back. Dumpling appetizer didn't hold together well. Had to eat itquick before the filling can fall out. Kani salad was the best part of the meal. For the sushi, let's say I won't be back. I hadthe Spicy Roll combo, spicy tuna, spicy salmon, and spicy crab. All looked like ground beef, raw. I never had ground fish at asushi restaurant. It was disgusting. I should have looked at the photos before going there. Also, if you order jasmine tea,it's not hot but from a bottle, cold.

Dear Kuma Ani, I used to absolutely LOVE this place. All you can eat was what I came for. Service was quick, staff was friendly. I went here so often, I asked one of the staff if I could purchase one of their T-shirts. The waitress said she didn'thave any in stock in the restaurant at the moment, but she had spares at home and she was willing to run home to get one for meto purchase. I tipped her generously for that extra service, of course! They used to be the absolute BEST all u can eat sushispot around. I even bought their keychain with their logo on it. This place used to be amazing. HOWEVER. A few years back theystopped doing all-you-can eat. I don't know why, I can only assume it's because my friends and I cost them too much money withhow much sushi we ate! I'm sure the sushi is still delicious and freshly made-to-order, but I'm rating three stars anywaybecause I haven't been back since they removed the buffet. If you're reading this, please bring back all-you-can eat. I willcome back and edit my review to be 5 stars! (Plus, I need to buy a new shirt because I got so large after all the buffets I ate!I was a medium, now I'm an XL. So thanks for that! Sincerely, A huge fan, longing for the comeback of the true King of AYCESushi.

I have the bad Torri wheels and it was amazing? Food: 5/5

Just the absolute best ramen in Albany. Vegan ramen knocks it out of the bark. Great selection of drinks as well. Friendly service. Great place all around.

I'd drive by all the time and never realized this was here. I was not feeling too well and wanted ramen and this was the closest place yelp suggested. It was pretty quiet. Great for a solo lunch or last minute date night. There was a good variety and the place was extremely clean. The reason they lost a star is because on google it stated they had sushi, but in fact they do not. However, the menu is still good.
