    PHO BKK ( Beef Stew Noodle Soup)
    Craven Q.

    The food was EXCELLENT just the service could've been better. Conversation seemed rushed along with the requests of sides. They had NO veggies to add to the soup no bok choy no jalapeños. They told me it's basically NOT pho but more sour Ramen even tho it says PHO! But the soup WAS great

    Massaman Curry

    Yum! This was a great recommendation from a colleague. We walked in and they were very busy with to-go orders. Ordered 3 small plates which were all tasty but the entree - delicious. Look at this one. Hits all the senses with the right smell (that's burning cinnamon), texture, and spice level was perfect.

    The order of rice that saved my life.

    I live in Vermont. I own/operate/am the only cook at a small, independent Diner (breakfast only at the moment). I get two days off a week and I pack up and DRIVE somewhere for a mini vacay. Albany is one of my preferred spots. The Lark Street neighborhood in particular in Albany is just a great place. TapAsia has been on my list of places to try. I curate my own restaurant "collections" in Yelp for every place I go. I am ALWAYS on the lookout for somewhere new to try/fall in love with/become a regular at. TapAsia has been on my Albany list for months now. But three separate times I got to Lark St and then sidetracked into a different restaurant. Not this time! This time I made it to TapAsia and then gave myself a little "talking to" about why I'd waited so long!! FANTASTIC spot. The food is, honestly, just entire levels above Thai/Asian inspired Tapas I've had other places (including just up the block on Lark...). And I'm an AVID eater of Asian in inspired small plates. Not fancy. Not large. There are a couple tables outside, but the actual dining room/bar is below street level. Cool, intimate, well lit basement vibes. Also, clearly a neighborhood spot where people know each other and talk to each other. Another thing I really like. Gotta have good food AND good vibes and a neighborhood spot, a small, independent restaurant?? THAT is The Gold Standard my friends. And TapAsia is ALL that. I started out with fresh, summer rolls and added shrimp. These were, hands down, the best fresh summer rolls I've ever had (and I order summer rolls whenever I see them on a menu). These are chock full of perfectly, finely chopped, fresh ingredients, rolled tightly and served in a beautiful, already cut plating with housemade dipping sauce. Speaking of which! TapAsia makes all their sauces in house and it shows. Your sauces will make or break your dishes, ESPECIALLY in a cuisine that has a lot of sauces...like Thai... The dipping sauce served with the fresh summer rolls was so good I would not let my waiter take it away, because the Avocado Mango Egg Rolls were FANTASTIC when dragged through the summer roll sauce! Also, yes, I said Avocado Mango Egg Rolls. FABULOUS. They are exactly what the name implies: egg roll wrappers filled with perfectly ripe, diced avocado and mango and then deep fried. So you get all the wonderful experience of a hot, fried egg roll and none of the meat (I don't eat beef, pork or poultry). These are not marked Vegan on the menu, but there are plenty of Vegan options here. I also ordered their Spicy Garlic Edamame as my third starter. My waiter asked me what heat level I wanted: Mild, Medium, Hot or Thai Hot. Me: "NOT THAI HOT! NEVER THAI HOT! I'll take regular Hot." As in: "DO I LOOK SUICIDAL RIGHT NOW??" Let's be clear. I eat spicy. I eat A LOT of spicy in multiple cuisines. But I KNOW I cannot tolerate Thai spicy. Thai chefs did NOT come to play and whatever it is they use to dial that heat up is, frankly, DEADLY. Meanwhile, I had no problem with Hot Spicy Garlic Edamame. Which, clearly, lulled me into a false sense of security. And so I ordered the Som Tum (Papaya Salad) and I overlooked (??) the "spicy" icon next to it on the menu. Can. I. Just. Say. I was almost killed. By a salad. That damn salad was the kind of spicy that makes you MAD because it is HURTING you. But also? It was beautiful and delicious and I REALLY WANTED to eat it and kept eating more and then taking mouthfuls of water to sooth my mouth until I, eventually, ran out of water and had to stop eating the salad ad order a side of rice to attempt to recover... I'm not saying don't order the Papaya Salad. I AM saying request it "mild" unless you are a trained professional in the arena of Thai heat! And then I ordered my entree. Entrees are broken out into sections depending on which housemade sauce is the base. You choose your sauce base and then you can kind of "build" your entree by choosing one (or more than one) protein to add. There are a variety of Vegan choices! I ordered Pad Kra Prow (Thai Basil Sauce) with sautéed string beans, bamboo shoot and basil in chili and garlic sauce and then I added fried chunks of white fish (WHICH WERE AMAZING!!!). I told my waiter that I had almost DIED attempting to eat the Salad and requested that the Pad Kra Prow be "Medium" heat ( it is listed as "Spicy" on the menu...). My waiter looked at me...for a beat...and said, "How about mild??" Me: "Okay. Mild!" Look, I am not afraid to declare DEFEAT in The Spice Wars. The Pad Draw Prow was DELICIOUS. So incredibly flavorful and full of fresh, wonderful ingredients and I could taste the ENTIRE favor profile because my mouth wasn't actually on fire. Next time it's going to be MILD for me...across the board. But there WILL be a next time. Because every thing I ate at TapAsia was simply perfect.

    Red Curry- spicy!!!!
    Jessica W.

    TapAsia has unique takes on classic Asian dishes but also does the classics well. Be careful of the spice level you choose because they do not hold back! This Tom yum ramen was savory and sweet while the red curry brought the heat. The pad thai was phenomenal as well! Great idea for a date spot or group meal!

    Grilled Wild Mushroom Steamed Bun

    Fairly small place here but has an extensive menu. Enjoyed a mushroom bun here. Service was fine.

    Well, color me impressed. Thanks to Steve N. for encouraging me to come to TapAsia on the strength of its hot and spicy Thai dishes. I had been avoiding this place because I had a hard time buying into the concept of Pan-Asian "tapas". There is good reason to be skeptical of Pan Asian restaurants. Different cuisines require different styles of cooking and different staple ingredients. The Chinese, Japanese, and Korean inspired dishes were the least impressive of the bunch. Thai food at Tap Asia rules the roost. And the kitchen isn't timid about bringing the heat. Our table ordered a mildly spiced green curry, a medium spiced beef salad, and a fully hot stir fried string beans. I was legitimately scared to try the hot, as I had been warned from multiple people about just how hot it would be. Yes. Indeed, it was very hot. But it was also flavorful, and intensely enjoyable. The trick is to just eat it slowly, be careful about how it hits the back of your throat, and have some creamy and soothing green curry on hand to quench the flames. But I would not shy away from ordering more dishes at the hot spice level in the future. It is a rare treat to really get something so assertively seasoned. The beer selection was also good, and I was delighted to see cans of Westbrook Brewing's White Thai on the menu. Just make sure to save room for dessert, because the hot Thai donuts, drizzled with sweetened condensed milk and chocolate syrup should not be missed. An order is pretty large, and should probably be split by four adults. As a place with "tapas" in the name, it would be nice if they had more items served in small portions, but so it goes. TapAsia is particular great for those people who love Thai food, but have somehow fallen into a social circle of people who don't share the same enthusiasm for the cuisine. Of course, they may not love the experience as much as you do. But then, you'll end with donuts, and close out the meal on a high note.

    Red curry with tofu and tonkotsu ramen

    Cozy small Thai place. Red curry was delicious and nicely served. They make the dishes according to Thai standards of spiciness so you may choose 'mild' or 'medium'. 'Spicy' is seriously spicy :). Also ordered sticky rice with mango for dessert and it was fantastic- tasted like in Thailand! Recommended.

    I decided to go into the restaurant to try the fare as I had previously ordered through GrubHub. The Thai iced tea was delicious, as per the norm. I got the tuna tartare again which was amazing! They use a wasabi in the marinade. I would have liked a little more avocado. Just an FYI: This appetizer is pretty expensive $13. I've paid $8 for this elsewhere and received twice the size in a serving and it was just as high quality. I then order the ramen after seeing a pic of it on Yelp. The poster neglected to identify that they had ordered the spicy version. I saw the color and assumed it was a red curry ramen and never read the menu description. This dish had so much promise. Between the taste and the smell, it reminded me of the public restroom in New York Penn Station. I took two bites and it was over for me. I was beyond repulsed by the fact that all of my senses screamed that I was eating from the toilet. I was embarrassed to say anything so I had them pack it to go and then threw it in the trash on the street. Horrible. It was absolutely the worst thing I've ever had in my mouth. Ever. ;) I did request the homemade ginger ale to go as that is really tasty. So, as a recap.... Yay: for the Thai Tea, Homemade Ginger Ale & Tuna Tartare. Run for your life: for the Ramen.

    Tum Yum Seafood Noodle Soup
    Frank T.

    Been back a couple of times, and tried various dishes. Also added some pictures. Hope you enjoy them. One thing I want to emphasize with this place, is the eclectic mix of Thai and Japanese. I personally feel the Thai is much better, but I am a little biased, having been all over Japan and visited more than 100 times, and ate at some really authentic places. That being said, as I mentioned before, I was excited to see their Kara-age chicken, and did enjoy it, but was disappointed only because it is not as good as some of the izakaya places in Japan. The same would go for the Tonkatsu Ramen. I've had better, but this was still very good. I could tell the noodles were not hand made, as they are in great ramen establishments, but it was still very tasty, and the spice was "HOT" just how I like it. The curry is fantastic, and if you ask for Thai Spicy, you better be ready, because they give you Thai Spicy. My wife enjoys their green curry, and the owner is so nice to accommodate and add salmon to the dish, with extra price. I recommend you try that, but be prepared if you try it Thai Spicy. If you want really good Thai, you will find it here, and if you want some taste of Japan, it is here also.

    Loved my experience here last night. We went with a friend that lives just down the street and is a regular customer. The service was fantastic, friendly and fun. The atmosphere is lovely; I had been to the restaurant that was previously in this space and they did some terrific upgrades. The menu has a bunch of Thai dishes, but there are other Asian-cuisine influences all over the menu. Many of the appetizers are fried, but we indulged in a few of those since we were celebrating a birthday. There's also a lovely sake selection and we shared a bottle of delicious, cold, smooth and slightly sweet unfiltered sake. We ordered a ton of food and shared everything: -Steamed Bun!! This one had spicy tuna and avocado: very different. I LOVE me a good steamed bun and this was an interesting twist...stuffing that doughy, warm, delightful bun with raw tuna, avocado, masago and spicy mayo...yessssss. Totally worked for me. Winner, winner...steamed bun dinner...perhaps! There are several other steamed buns to choose from...I look forward to going back and checking out some of the other varieties. -Potstickers/Gyoza - these were delicious, albeit deep fried, served with a sweet, sticky soy-based dip. I generally prefer them steamed, but they were rather tasty. -Beef Salad - delicious! We were warned that "regular" spice is "hot"...so we ordered "mild". I like super spicy, so next time I'll order hot...which means really freakin' hot. (I got some extra hot paste for the side). -Avocado Mango Egg Roll- this is also deep fried...but very yummy. I expected smaller, bite-sized egg rolls...but no...it's one big fried wonton with a pile of avocado, mango and other saucy goodness inside. Hard to share because it got very messy VERY quickly...but we managed. -Vietnamese Spring Roll (with shrimp) - very generous portions of rice paper wrapping filled with crisp, fresh veggies and a slice of shrimp on the edge of each piece. Delicious sauces on the plate to accompany the cool, crisp and refreshing rolls. -Tom Yum fried rice - apparently this is a family recipe. And it's worth trying. Delicious! -Drunken Noodle - I loved their version of this dish....perfectly cooked, soft broad noodles with generous pieces of chicken. By the time we ordered the rice and noodles, I was already pretty stuffed. I REALLY wanted to keep eating...but then they brought the pile of Thai donuts (drizzled with chocolate and white sauces). I plowed through a few of those and vowed to do extra sit-ups today. Can't wait to get back here!!

    We actually walked in this restaurant last weekend but it was steaming hot inside so we left and went to Rain. However I'm in a search for Outstanding Thai food so had to try this spot but unfortunately it's another place that is just okay. I called ahead to get the lunch special and with just few minutes to the end time frame the lady hesitantly let me get it. I didn't know it was bento box style since, which made the curry portion much smaller. There was a house salad , miso soup, small portion of rice, and 2 gyoza fried dumplings for $10. The curry was too watery and filled with bamboo shoots, peppers, chicken and had a nice spice which I can usually can stand with Thai iced tea, but they ran out. I did ask for mild and they said it's going be spicey but I think they could've added some coconut milk to even it out and thicken it. I might check it out again with my fam but definitely not getting a bento box.

    Yummy karage chicken !

Rosanna's is firmly in the second category -- and after an exceptional dinner that left both of us completely satisfied and already planning our return visit, I cannot recommend this place highly enough. From the moment we walked in, the ambience set the tone for the entire evening. Warm, inviting and thoughtfully designed, Rosanna's strikes that rare balance between intimate and lively -- the kind of space that feels equally suited for a romantic dinner for two or a celebratory night out with people you love. The lighting is soft without being dim, the energy is buzzing without being overwhelming, and every detail of the room communicates that this is a place that genuinely cares about the experience it creates for its guests. The service matched the atmosphere perfectly. Our server was attentive, knowledgeable and genuinely enthusiastic about the menu -- not in a rehearsed, corporate way but in the way that only happens when staff actually love where they work and believe in what they're serving. Questions were answered with confidence and warmth, dietary considerations were handled graciously and without any fuss, and the pacing of the meal felt exactly right. Not rushed, not forgotten -- just perfectly timed. It is the kind of service that makes you feel like a valued guest rather than just another table to turn over. Now the food -- where do we even begin. We started with the Shrimp Balls and they were an immediate knockout. Perfectly seasoned, beautifully presented and gone far too quickly. The arugula dip alongside them was bright and fresh -- a genuinely clever pairing that elevated what could have been a simple appetizer into something memorable. This dish alone would be worth coming back for. For mains we ordered the Wild Mushroom Risotto -- elevated with a grilled shrimp skewer addition that turned an already outstanding dish into a complete and deeply satisfying meal. The risotto was everything a great risotto should be -- creamy without being heavy, deeply savory with layers of earthy mushroom flavor, finished beautifully with truffled pecorino that added just the right amount of richness. The shrimp skewer on top was perfectly grilled, plump and fresh -- a brilliant pairing with the earthiness of the mushrooms. Our dining companion ordered the Boneless Beef Short Ribs which arrived tender, deeply flavorful and beautifully plated -- the kind of dish that makes you close your eyes on the first bite. What makes Rosanna's truly special is that everything works together -- the room, the service, the food and the overall feeling of being genuinely well taken care of. This is not a restaurant that relies on one strong element to carry the others. Every component earns its place. Whether you are celebrating something special, treating someone you love or simply in search of a great dinner in wonderful company -- Rosanna's delivers on every level. Do yourself a favor and make a reservation. You will not regret it. And the pellegrino soda was great I got the blood orange! And we took the olive oil orange cake to go yum!

That said, I think it's totally fair to bring a restaurant's wine list into the conversation when talking about a place where "Tapas" is in the name of the business itself. While I have nothing against a short wine list, there was only one Spanish wine on the list of whites. There are were two on the reds. With prices hovering around $30 a bottle, the wines were modestly priced. However, none of the vintages were included on the list, which made me concerned. But when our bottle of Albariño arrived, it was thankfully a current vintage. I've never had a waiter cast doubt on my wine selection before, so that was new to me. He thought we might be happier with a red. However, he wasn't privy to the food we were going to order. White was definitely the right call for the night. We were there as the first snow of the season began to fall. So maybe that's why the place was understaffed. The news really likes to hype up snow fall. Perhaps the best thing we ordered was the guacamole, which was billed as being prepared at the table. However, last Thursday ours was not. The waiter did make a display of chopping at the bowl with the serving spoon as he walked it over to our table. But that's not quite the same thing. Still, that was the best thing we had to eat that night. The company was great, and I actually enjoyed the more relaxed pacing of the meal. Although my suggestion to the waiter about the order in which we would like to food to arrive was rebuffed. He told us, to let him know what we wanted to eat, and he'd take care of the rest. In the end, that worked out fine. Minus the hiccups of dropping off the wrong food at the table, twice. Well, and the food being mostly satisfactory, if unremarkable. Beyond the guacamole, there isn't really anything I would order again. Maybe we ordered wrong? Perhaps it was a mistake to go for Spanish dishes at a Mexican restaurant. I really don't know. All told, the four of us ordered six dishes, a bottle of wine, and split a flan. We all left feeling sated, and enjoyed our night out. The whole experience came to just over thirty bucks per person, including tax and tip. Which isn't bad. Especially since the waiter treated three of us to tequila shooters, which also included a bit of sprite and coffee liqueur. I abstained, since I'm not the best at driving in heavy snow on unplowed roads. Still, it was a lovely gesture.

Drinks were impeccable. Dinners ranged from the lemon gnocchi that I added scallops to and it was hands down the best gnocchi I've had. Pillowy soft and light, and such a smooth texture. Friend had the Korean chicken dish which he said was delicious and the best thing he has tried, same goes for the surf and turf meal which had shrimp instead of lobster much to my friend's delight. We ended dinner with dessert which was a homemade chocolate chip cookie w homemade vanilla ice cream which was served with a drizzle of very good quality chocolate.

Start to finish every staff person we interacted with was welcoming, attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. Definitely appreciated and noteworthy over the usual, requisite pleasantries. We both had specials - scallops with squid ink risotto and pork belly with tostones. Each dish was thoughtfully and creatively prepared, the proteins were cooked perfectly, and I appreciated the inclusion of some fresh, on-site grown veg. Also enjoyed the Latin American flare/flavor incorporated into both dishes. Dining prices in Albany have (bewilderingly) been on par with Boston and NYC for years now, so Coray Kitchen is certainly reasonable for a high quality meal. I also appreciate that the specials were priced similarly to on-menu items. Will definitely be back to sample the paella and fresh pasta, unless enticed away again by specials!

From the posters and memorabilia on the walls at The Eleven, owners Jennifer and Justin Miller are clearly Grateful Dead fans. They also have a great eye for design and fresh floral arrangements. Their new space has been beautifully renovated and this week there are gorgeous flowers decorating most tables and countertops. We came to eat. The menu features charcuterie consisting mostly of a variety of cheeses. There are some sandwiches, waffles, salad, bagels and other baked goods. It's a limited menu for now, but a sensible one since they're just getting started. All of the menu items have Grateful Dead related names. I had the Reuben and Cherise sandwich or was that Reuben and Cheese? There was a lot of melted cheese. It was very good. The staff was so friendly and helpful. I also enjoyed a decaf coffee with oat milk and a nonalcoholic grapefruit juice drink which the bartender created for me, since I can't drink alcohol following dental surgery. The evening's vocalist had a lovely voice. Leslie Barkman is her name. She also played keyboard. She didn't sing any Grateful Dead while we were there. She described herself as a Blues singer and even performed some original work for an audience of about two dozen. I look forward to catching more events and dining experiences at The Eleven.

    Part restaurant, part oasis. It was a wonderful experience at Suwun Thai. I'm not an expert in Thai…read morecuisine but the staff was wonderful in explaining what certain things were and answering any questions I had. Our waitress also had the perfect mix of attentiveness and letting us enjoy our time which made for a very relaxing lunch. The iced tea was sweet but with a nice warm spice. The dumplings were packed with filling. The noodles for the pad Thai were light and not greasy. I've had pad Thai other places that came in a pool of grease. My husband said the beef in his meal was very tender and well seasoned. I would gladly make the drive here again and again. BONUS- there's a parking lot in the back!

    Love at first bite. I wish I came here sooner, I can't wait to come back. Everything we ordered was…read moreincredible, the cocktails too. This is like elevated modern Thai in a chic environment. The aesthetic inside is the perfect vibe, I love the dark greens and florals. The lighting was perfect for photos too, so instagram-able. The bar was gorgeous and so were the drinks, and they were incredible too. I ordered the lychee martini but subbed the vodka for gin. I am not a sweet drink girlie but I love a lychee martini, and this was the best I ever had. I also ordered the Oliang Martini which was just like an espresso martini but a little more bold, delicious. The coconut mojito was also gorgeous and my sister ordered two. Great spot for cocktails. We wanted to try so many things, and we did, with plenty of left overs. I had never really been to a Thai restaurant but I knew enough to know I wanted to try Tom Kha. I love soup of all kinds and this was no exception, I worry I will crave this all the time. The creamy, savory and slightly sour taste was addicting. For other apps we tried the golden dumplings which were perfectly moist and flavorful inside, with the crispy wonton crust you love. We also tried the shrimp donuts, these were good but a little on the spongy side, so the texture wasn't really my thing. We also ordered the chive cakes, which were like cube shaped scallion pancakes. I honestly was full at this point, but everything was so delicious and I love left overs. For entrees, I had to order the pad Thai because I never had it. I got it with beef and it was such a delicious dish. The noodles were the perfect texture and it was flavor packed. We ordered mild in all dishes, and they still had a kick, which I loved. We also had crab fried rice, perfectly fluffy and light. Crispy duck curry, insane dish that I would love to order at a future visit, and the pad see u noodles. I honestly have nothing bad to say. This is a new hot spot. Vibe is immaculate. Cocktails are noteworthy. The food matches the experience. Price is on par with similar caliber restaurants locally, I wouldn't consider it a cheap night out. Come here to splurge a little on a great experience.
