    (Small) Seafood Pajeon
    Philip Y.

    Usually an Asian Fusion restaurant can replace decent Asian dishes that attract regular patrons. This place could not make a Seafood Pajeon (pancake) with decent amount of seafood ingredients and they charge you $17 for that terrible dough. Most patrons inside choose Korean BBQ or hot pot options. So, maybe it is not so bad.

    My reviews follow the Yelp sequence of review...Food, service and ambiance. However our server Naha is 100% trash. The manager should be ashamed to let someone out on the floor like this and it is a disservice to what this restaurant is trying achieve. Please remove Maha from the floor and have her trained properly. You do not drop drinks, food, soups and other ordered items on the table. You put them down. In addition, she did not check on us until we were 2/3rds of the way done with our meal. If you look at my account I have dined in hundreds of places like this and not once did she check in early after the 1st round of meats were put on the grill to check if we needed a grill change or check on our status. Lastly, there are 5 people dining how hard was it for her to hand the drinks or put the drinks down close to the owner?!?! Why was she leaving it all on one end to pass down from the direction she came!?!? There was more than enough room to hand drinks to the person who order the drink; but again Maha just wanted to deliver poor experience. She may want to dine out so she learns some service skills. To top it off, once she probably realized she pooped the service portion she tells us at the END that there was a gratuity charge for 5 people. Who the fuck does this?!?! These gratuity stipulations are usually mentioned up front and not the end. So I am not sure if this was added to make up for inept and poor service. Plus gratuity inclusion such as this is usually for groups of 6 or more...My cousin who is also an Elite Yelper realized that this was going south but I saw it early on when she only had 3 tables and focused all her attention on the other two tables, then when it started to fill up I saw her do a grill change on a table within 30 minutes. But the food, beverages, refill droppings was just ridiculous and stupid on her part. Absolutely pure shit service and as a PSA to the manger, Maha made the dining experience pure garbage. Not good at all. I'll remove Maha's poor service from the food review. The food was ok. The meats (beef and pork) were tasteless or had a sour taste (quality). The fish was ok but I did not have any to comment but would have been better if Maha had offered a grill change to prevent sticking (yes, we could have asked but the food was just ok and did not order another round of fish). Surprisingly, the shrimp and mussels we ordered were good. Catastrophically, the Kim chi was apparently home made but was sour and pungent. However the dumplings, fried shrimp, scallops and xu mai were good. Just mediocre is how I would describe the food. Any of the places I took my two aunts recently, would blow this place away easily and offered a better dining and service experience. So if you are looking yum food, THIS IS NOT THE PLACE. Ambiance is a shining point. Really nice and ornamented. Just right, not too flashy but not plain. Seating was spot on with good spacing between tables. Lighting was also perfect, not cave dark but not blinding. Sadly, poor service from Maha and mediocre food doomed this experience. My aunts have seen me dine and the great rapport or quality experience I have with our servers and meals so I was really disappointed by my experience at Mosu. I could not recommend this place at all, I rarely hand out 1's but Maha and ok food just allowed them to garner one.

    First round before grilling

    I really appreciate Mosu for never hassling me about dining alone. Yes, it's a little silly to go to Asian barbecue alone, but I do regularly! Other places sometimes give you a hard time about taking up a whole grill, but at Mosu, I've always felt welcome. On to the food: I am trying to figure out the smashed cucumber salad marinade, because I love it. The meats are usually well marinated and well cut. There are not as many choices as some other places, but I don't need too many! I like the modern decor, and the tables are spaced so you don't feel on top of the table next to you. Better than other Asian BBQ places I've been, they're quick to replace the grill when needed and clear the empty plates. This is one of my go-to locations when I'm in Albany--someday, I should dine with someone else!

    For many years we occasionally visited many times, noticeably getting worse. They took down many nice ingredients, left bunch mid or cheap ones. For now I can definitely say not worth going.

    Tables for cooking and eating.

    We were a group of 7, including 2 children. We made reservations as suggested and were seated promptly. You have to decide if you want hotpot or Asian BBQ as the tables are different, with different types of cookers at the tables. We decided to get the BBQ and shown how to use the iPads for ordering food, depending on whether you wanted lunch, dinner or all you can eat. We ordered various items and cooked them using metal tongs on each end of the table. Veggies, including mushrooms, all sorts of meats and seafood are brought uncooked to the table in small dishes and you grill them until they're done. You can also get items such as kimchi that are already prepared. The dining area is very modern yet cozy, with comfortable chairs. Definitely worth returning for more great dining!

    Solid Kbbq AYCE option in the area. 55 is a bit steep but it's one of the only places in the area with kbbq. There's a good spread of meat cuts available and premade appetizers. Soft drinks and dessert (a variety of ice cream, smores, and creme brulee) are also included. There's a 2hr maximum per table which is more than enough time. They also offer an a la carte menu and a hotpot option as well. Been to Mosu often and the service is always great, servers are attentative and kind. The restaurant is a bit more sophisticated ambiance wise. It's dim light so it could be used for a special occassion but plenty of people use it as a casual joint as well.

    So fun! You order your food, you cook your food. So many delicious choices! This was my first time here and what a great experience. We did make reservations. We ordered appetizers that come already cooked and then our menu choices of steak and salmon and vegetables. Delicious and you cook it the way you like it!

    4.5 stars. Found a nice Korean AYCE In Albany. Open fire so no smoke from the grill and they change it regularly. The exhaust goes through the side of the fire so nothing hanging over head and you won't be smoked out. Portions are small so if you order from the tablet, make note it's a serving for 1 person. Some meats were seasoned well and we loved the lamb chops. Now that's a big plus, never had that in a Korean BBQ. I took off half a point coz the banchans were not that great, it could be better. Their dipping sauces are different so I had to ask for sesame oil and salt. Unfortunately they don't have crystal salts so I had to mix the oil with table salt. You can also do soup at this place along with the BBQ, aka K-pot. As you can see the place is clean and beautiful. Would definitely go back here again with my coarse salt

    Second time here... and WOW it was better than the first time which we can't believe because the first visit was AMAZING! So you can count on consistency at those restaurant for quality, service and delicious food and drinks! We live a couple hours away and made it so our relaxing getaway included an early dinner at MOSU! Made reservations for 1:30pm and were a little early they could seat us and our hostess and server were top notch! Fast amazing service and again our server was so friendly funny and awesome! Drinks from the bar delicious!! I don't understand why anyone would go elsewhere! Clean fun restaurant and how other restaurants should be run!

From Michael the manager, meeting & greeting us to checking in on us while we were dining, to Emma, our server waiting on us, anticipating our every single need, to the food being cooked to perfection. I cannot recommend enough how this is the go to place in upstate NY. THIS IS THE PLACE We waited for a few members of our party with two martinis at the bar, which cost $38. I deconstructed the Cosmo, which was a splash of peach and kettle one which was a three dollar of charge for an $18 drink. We had the back room for a large party (9)Servers staff were friendly and accommodating. I was surprised at how long it took too get seated. The seafood tower of lovely had asked for warm butter. The side dishes are all à la carte but the potatoes and the asparagus excellent. Mistakes were done as ordered just been prepared for price shock. I recommend the crème brûlée for dessert and the naughty Irishman coffee.. overall was a nice experience with attentive, weight, staff and creative and with a sense of humor! I personally cannot afford to go there except for very special occasions. A meal at Ruth's Chris feels like an event. There's so much anticipation. Yes, the prices are high but it seems that you get what you pay for. A wonderful meal with top notch service and ambiance. I did not find it pretentious. I was concerned that it might be. There is no dress code. While some dressed up, others were casually dressed. One man even showed up in a very wrinkled shirt and the staff treated him as well as any other guest. The wait staff is amazing. Our server was Valbon. He was gracious, helpful and very thorough in describing food preparation. My friend had a Porterhouse Steak prepared medium well done with just a bit of pink. It was a massive steak. He said it was prepared perfectly. Same for the mashed potatoes and asparagus. I don't eat much red meat. Valbon recommended the sea bass for me. It was remarkably tender. I enjoyed the sautéd vegetables, too. I was amazed that I finished my entire meal. My friend took part of his giant steak home and enjoyed it the next day. I asked for a light cocktail. A vodka-based Lemon Drop martini was recommended for me. It's a popular drink there. It was just right. Ruth's Chris is a chain. I know that some people frown on eating at restaurant chains because of quality concerns. But Ruth's Chris is fine dining and the food preparation is apparently held to high standards. Our meals were enjoyable. It was our first time trying this restaurant to celebrate my wife's birthday. They added decorations on our table and also gave my wife a small cake and candle which was a nice gesture. Steak was great and service was excellent. Our server was very friendly and even the manager stopped at our table to greet us. We will definitely come back.

Let's start with the good... the location is clean, basically the same as it was 10 years ago. Service was excellent, our waitress was very attentive to our needs as were the greeters. The restaurant was about 1/4 to 1/3 full! So let me give you my negative results now. Let me start with STICKER SHOCK! The prices were unbelievable, their "Ultimate Feast" which has shrimp scampi, fried shrimp, snow crab legs and lobster tail. This combo is $49.99 and that doesn't include the salad anymore! The two versions of shrimp were exactly like I remember in the past flavor wise. The crab legs portion was small, even if they were normal crab legs. These were baby legs and they had hardly any meat in them. The Lobster tail was small, and I mean very small, half the size of a regular lobster. In my life I've had the Ultimate Feast dozens of times and never left hungry! So for almost $50.00 I got 5 fried shrimp, 8 small shrimp scampi, 2-3 ounces of crab meat and a Lobster tail that couldn't have weighed 3 ounces, and NO salad. I'm saying BYE BYE to Red Lobster, you can't stay in business providing this to customers. Oh, before I forget, the Baked Potato I had with it had to be reheated for a few days, then finally found a sucker who ordered it. Sorry Red Lobster, you've definitely lost this customer and I'm certain many more.
