This Asian fusion eatery offers custom made to order noodle & rice dishes, choosing your type of dish such as sweet stir fry, spicy stir fry, spicy stir fry pasta, cream pasta, bulgogi pasta, Whealthy fried rice, ram don, and pad Thai, choosing your carb, choose veggies, and choose proteins. At the time of this posting, all dishes were being offered for $12.99 plus tax. I chose the Spicy Stir Fry Pasta, opting for udon noodles, broccoli, spinach, carrots, chicken and shrimp, which the staff member added those ingredients to a metal bowl, then brought back to the kitchen to be custom prepared. My food was hot and ready and boxed in about 7 minutes. The portion was just right, enough for a filling lunch in one sitting. This dish was spicy and very fresh tasting, and piping hot. The udon noodles with the veggies and chicken and shrimp went well together. I can't wait to try another combination next time, cream pasta with tofu, shrimp, baby corn cucumbers and red peppers, lol

I was in a rush the other day and saw this place in crossgates and decided to try it out. I asked…read morethe guy who is working just to give me whatever his favorite is. Still ask me some questions like how spicy I want it and what not which was good because I went with mild. It was piping hot which was great. I was bringing it home. I had to give my son a bath and some time it passed before I got to sit down and open it and it was still steaming hot. It smelled SO good. It was so amazing. My kids gathered around me asking me what I was eating. I wouldn't even let them taste it because I selfishly wanted it all to myself. It tasted so fresh and I mean it was I saw the ingredients. The guy working was quiet but very nice. It's all I've been thinking about. I just want to go order everything off of the menu and try it all. This is a little hidden gem. It's funny how an upstate New York. Some of the best food I've had in a long time was in a mall food court. Can't get a dish like this at a restaurant. Gotta love Albany! Go support this place. You will be so satisfied. I'm one of the best parts about it was. It was a really really decent sized portion. A normal human would have had leftovers but I tend to overeat lol It's like $12, which nowadays is a pretty typical price point for a meal. After eating the whole thing I still felt great because it was so light and the ingredients were so fresh.

Service has been quick and my food was ready within 20 minutes (If not less) of ordering. I have found my new go to sushi place, and look forward to trying more of their sushi and other offerings.

We stop in Albany as a halfway point to going to visit our daughter in VT…read more We keep trying places. Thought this sounded interesting, and was close to our hotel. So disappointed. We did not cook our own food on the tables, as we were exhausted from our drive. We did pass by patrons doing so, and were not impressed enough to try this option. The bar appetizers sounded like they would be great. The food was awful. All frozen pre-fab products. The sampler appetizer was a debacle. Essence of cream cheese and crab in the rangoons, "dumplings" were certainly not gyoza. All of the items tasted like they came out a box. The scallion pancake was disastrous. The lamb kebabs were charred and inedible. Will continue the search for edible food in Albany!

I'll admit to having kind of written it off for a long time due to the weird menu/concept (it's hard to trust that a restaurant is going to serve you a burger, some empanadas and a plate of pad Thai and execute any or all of them competently), but the good people at Fusion are serving food that's truly, honestly about three times better than it needs to be (caveat: we've stuck to the more Asian sections of the menu, so I won't make any bold claims about the burgers). The Chinese portion of our family unit said that my drunken noodles reminded him of the stuff that a street vendor sold outside of his middle school, which like, IYKYK (if you don't know, this is about the highest praise a plate of noodles can get). I'm not normally a major pad Thai enthusiast, but the version here was well-balanced and flavorful, not just kind of sweet and gloppy like a lot of local versions, and the broth for the chicken noodle soup is also truly random-SE Asian-street-cart level flavorful. If that wasn't enough to sell you on this place, the draft Sapporo is five bucks. In conclusion: please come here support these nice folks so they can continue to make above-par food for many years to come.

I will admit at first I was a little nervous, the restaurant only had a total of four menus so we had to share, and we were told the bartender hadn't showed up that day. Nonetheless, I immediately got a good vibe from the guy working there. The menu had a Colombian section, a burger section and an Asian section. We all stuck with Asian dishes. It quickly became clear that the guy taking our order was the only one working. He got to work making the meals for six people. While he was cooking away, another large group of at least seven people arrived and sat themselves. You'd never know there was one guy doing everything all alone because the food was beautifully presented, all dishes were served together and man was it delicious! Everyone was very happy with their meals and we all got a variety of dishes. This is clearly a small business and definitely worth checking out. The one guy there was working so hard, but was so friendly and still attentive, despite manning the place alone. I will definitely be back to try out more

The place is very cozy with very limited seating, an order at the counter place with kitchen in the back. I ordered the Large Pasta Carbonara ($8.50 plus tax) and a Medium Shrimp Lo Mein ($8.75 plus tax), which took about 25 minutes to be ready to go. The portion sizes were pretty generous. The Carbonara has mix of chopped boneless chicken, peppers, onions, egg in a thick cream sauce over al dente cooked spaghetti. The lo mein had a mix of baby shrimp (some with tail shells), onions, cabbage, peppers, and thick soft noodles, not oily, I barely made a dent in eating those entrees, so I had leftovers to enjoy for lunch and dinner the next day.

He does it again And again.. he gos to the back so I then go to the bath room From there after coming back He was in the back to frying my food. I mentioned to him everything and asked if he washed his hands In stead of him telling me yes he's like it's fine and we do it like this... After a back and forth I just got my money and left. Idk what to really say cause I know this is someone's business (Not the guys behind the counter cuz I asked him) so I don't want to just bash these people I think that shit is just wild

After a long day of this and that, we decided to treat ourselves to some Asian food. And since this…read moreplace was just down the street and had recently opened, it seemed like a good opportunity to try them out. We had a coupon in a book that was mailed to us, otherwise I never would have known this place existed. It took over a failed Subway restaurant (which was right around the corner from Mr. Subb), and I was surprised an Asian takeout place moved in because right around the corner (next to the Mr. Subb) was another Chinese take out place. Sure, this place has dine-in options. And it claims to be Asian Fusion. Anyway, we both ordered the same dish: General Tsos chicken. I had brown rice, and my wife had fried rice. The softspoken guy who answered the phone was friendly and told us our order would be ready in 10-15 minutes. For a Sunday night, they must have been slow. I got there with time to spare and watched him cook our food. The dining room is cute, though I would guess the fixtures were used as some were already torn and worn down. The chef's bar had nice blue lighting and features, and there was some fish out in the cooler wrapped up in plastic. I don't eat sushi so I cannot comment on whether this is the way sushi bars are, but it seemed interesting. Our food was served in Japanese style take-out containers. There were five individual compartments filled with the chicken/broccoli, the rice, the spring roll (or egg roll, depending on interpretation), some duck sauce, and packets of soy sauce. It traveled a lot better than those white cardboard boxes or round plastic containers. However, as my wife noted, they cost more too. I saved my containers to use for other projects. The food was step above regular takeout fare. I can't say if the recipes were better, if it were fresher, or if the travel containers helped it fare better. There was less sauce on it, which likely helped. Both rice types used Japanese short grain, which was fine by me but not what you normally get with Chinese takeout. Also, it wasn't spicy at all. And the portions were smaller than most, yet the prices were much higher than most. Two combo meals were $34.00 before tip. I know of places to go for really cheap, bad Chinese food (buffets), and places to go for really expensive, high-quality Chinese food. As for take-out, though, the lines blur a bit. I want to like this place, but I love the restaurant around the corner. I don't see how both can succeed. Since it is primarily a sushi restaurant, perhaps that is the niche they should focus on.

We had just come from a drive around the NY capitol building and, whatever way the GPS brough us, it said that we had "arrived" when we were still on Delaware Ave. We were looking into an empty storefront and we were worried. But we turned the corner onto Central and were overjoyed to see McCant's. We couldn't tell if it was open from the street but we pressed our luck, parking and walking about a block. They were open! Yay! You can order at a kiosk/screen. Our group each went with a different dog, our group ending up with a Memphis, a Slaw Dog, and a New Yorker. We shared an order of fries. The food was ready quickly and as the food got off the folks behind the counter made sure everything looked good to us (it did!). My Mom gave her New Yorker 5 stars. Great flavor with the sauerkraut and onion sauce. My Aunt gave her Slaw Dog 4.75 stars. Tons of cole slaw (maybe a touch too much). I'd give my Memphis Dog 3.75. The McCants chili is pretty loose, liquidy and there is plenty of it on this top (maybe a touch too much). I didn't think the bun stood a chance against all the liquid toppings but, with some delicate handling, it made it through the whole eating experience. Phew. It was good but I think the chili really dominated the other toppings. The fries were great. Really well-seasoned. The folks behind the counter made sure we had a tasty experience as we left. I'd definitely come back here! I'm eyeing that Fire Truck!
