This just came flying through my inbox from the Albany sushi meetup group…
—————————-
James Chen from Kitsu contacted us to let us know that he is hosting an All-you-can eat $19.99 sushi feast at Kitsu today. (no discounts) Kitsu is located at 218 Central Avenue in Albany. I have posted the menu for this event below. [...]

If you’re like me and you’re more about quality than quantity, or just don’t mind spending more on food that’s genuinely good, I’m afraid to say that there’s not a whole lot of reasons to go more than once. I hate to say it, because I love the concept, but I won’t be rushing to go back.

For my friend’s birthday, that was excellent, but for those who want to go out for good sushi (and after all, that’s what we’re here to discuss) it’s just not worth it at all. It’s loud, it’s cramped, the menu is tiny, and there are places in the city that are both far better and far cheaper. Really, unless you’re looking to get completely sauced, I just wouldn’t [...]
