    I love this place! I'm very picky with seafood and I have yet to have a bad order from here. The prices of the items are justified considering their portions and quality. I definitely recommend the catfish; super crispy/crunchy! Any Asian knows that if a place serves rice you can't help but judge the place if they're legit just on how they cook their rice, and let me tell you I would not be ashamed to bring my mother here. I ordered just the catfish and a side of white rice and was I not disappointed! If you like Boba tea definitely do not skip on their bobas! I personally like the brown sugar flavor!

    Crab legs, shrimp, corn, and boiled eggs

    My first time eating at Union Seafood. The eating area was very clean and spacious. Take out business was booming. I ordered the 1lb of crab legs and 1lb of headless shrimp. Serving size was good. The bag contained the shrimp, crab legs, potatoes, boiled eggs and plenty of sauce. They were very accommodating because I requested to use less of anything salty. My only complaint is I really think the crab legs and the eggs were overcooked. Not really concerned about the eggs. The meat of the claws was mushy to a certain degree. I could never get a nice solid piece of meat from the claws and I think that's an indication that it's slightly overcooked. With corn being out of season I found the corn could have been old and it had big kernels. They don't put sausage in their combo of shrimp and crab legs.

    Was one of the best places! We came the same time last year and this was a stop. incredibly fresh…read moreoysters. Eight different varieties.Tedie got fresh whole billy clams I got a white fish sandwich whatever white fish they cut fresh that day didn't check which one it was. No need it was delicious. Crabcakes phenomenal and a restaurant where you can go in and buy fresh fish right from the counter definitely makes it one of a kind. let's just say it was so good when they said it in front of us I didn't take any pictures because I was more interested in eating. service is amazing but then again the owner was the one that was serving us, And just the inside of it is a quaint looking restaurant a very very clean restroom. And lots of goodies to purchase if you like!!

    It's been two years since I said we were looking forward to returning to try their bowls or fish…read moreand chips. Well, at least we kept our word today when we ordered their two different bowls for takeout. My wife ordered the Fishbowl ($30) with the grilled fish of the day (salmon), cherry tomatoes, quinoa, feta, peaches, arugula, and basil lime vinaigrette (she said no to onions). She could not get over how tasty the quinoa tasted and wondered how they prepared it. She also thought the peaches could have been a little sweeter since we are in prime peach season. While the salmon was just slightly overcooked we'll attribute that to it continuing to cook as we drove the meals home. Even with those minor negatives, she said she would definitely order the dish again. I chose the Poke Bowl ($35) for my meal (my first ever poke bowl) with marinated raw tuna and salmon, edamame, cucumber, watermelon radish, snap peas, nori, avocado, sesame seeds, scallions, and pea tendrils, all over sushi rice with ginger gochugaru oil and soy sauce on the side. This was absolutely delicious. It was a wonderful blend of fresh flavors and textures. If I have another poke bowl somewhere else I only hope it can come close to measuring up to the enjoyment I experienced with this one.

The atmosphere was…read morenice and it seemed like a good spot to grab seafood, but the service was noticeably slow throughout our visit. It took a while to get drinks and place our order, and we found ourselves waiting more than expected between courses. That said, the food itself had some highlights. The crab was absolutely amazing--fresh, flavorful, and definitely the standout of the meal. We also really enjoyed the shrimp cocktail, which was well-prepared and hit the mark. Unfortunately, the mussels didn't live up to the same standard; they lacked flavor and just weren't our favorite. Overall, it's an okay spot with some strong dishes, but the slow service and inconsistency in the food would make me hesitate before returning.

It had shrimp, crab legs, beef sausage, potatoes, and a half ear of corn on the cob. It came drenched in sauce, which was messy, but the taste was well worth it. The servers were very friendly, and the food came out in decent amount of time. Not super-fast, but not slow either. The place was also nice and clean. I would definitely go again, if I'm ever in the Abany area again.

    Union Seafood on Central Avenue in Albany is described as "Chinese meets Louisiana," according to…read morethe restaurant's website. I've been there before and the crazy, giant fiberglass crab on display in the entrance is always a hoot. So is the fiberglass shark head on the wall in the dining area. I like a place with a sense of fun and humor. I also like this place for its seafood boils. The good news is that this restaurant--which was very good to begin with-- has gotten even better. Last time I showed up, the server brought the seafood boil still in its boiling bag and cut it open in front of me. It was up to me to reach into the hot bag and pull out its contents. There was steam everywhere. A hot mess, indeed! This time, the kitchen took care of the boiling bag for me. Instead, they beautifully arranged the boiled seafood on a large platter. Wow. It looked amazing and tasted even better! This time, I'd asked for a Number 4 with mix of seasonings, including garlic and butter. There were: one big lobster tail, plenty of shrimp, clams, crawfish, potatoes, corn on the cob, hard boiled eggs and extra veggies. It was described as enough to feed three people. Coincidentally, we were a party of three. We also ordered a Cajun Fried Rice for good measure. We really didn't need it. We were so full. The fruit drinks were great, too. Union Seafood is a franchise with locations in Troy and Schenectady. They're owned by Larry Weng who also opened Ji Bei Chuan Rice Noodles & Ramen on Western Avenue in Guilderland, according to local news reports. In celebration of May being AAPI (Asian American Pacific Islander) Month, it's probably fair to say that Asian-American owned restaurants such as Union Seafood have added much variety to the overall dining experience in Capital Region. Vive la différence.

    Union Seafood is one of those spots that keeps things simple and lets the seafood speak for itself…read more Everything had that fresh, straight-from-the-kitchen feel, and the portions were satisfying without feeling overdone. I also liked that the flavors weren't trying too hard just good seafood, seasoned well and served hot.
