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. On the other hand, if you’re all about quantity, and you just want to stuff you face with sushi, then this is certainly the place to knock yourself out with [...]
A study published in this month’s issue of Biology Letters investigated how much mercury was in restaurant tuna sushi versus supermarket tuna sushi, and correlated this to the species of the tuna via DNA [...]
The new Nikko’s all-you-can-eat sushi buffet has no website yet and seemingly does not exist in the all-powerful Googleverse, as indicated by my own research and the mass of people asking me where it [...]

Would I go to another Benihana? Yes, under one of two circumstances: 1) if I wanted to stuff my face beyond recognition for what is, in all fairness, pretty cheap, or 2) if I saw one in a place not really known for its sushi, Biloxi, Missisippi for example, and I wanted a “safe bet”. I might even go to it on occasion if there was one in the Albany / Troy area, but when I’m travelling, it’s simply not worth trading the novelty of going somewhere completely new for the merely satisfactory experience of [...]

All in all it wasn’t anything that I’d ever even remotely think about recommending to anyone, but as far as taste and freshness went it would suffice if I was in a grocery store and had a yearning for sushi then and there … except for the whole rice thing and the falling apart thing. Those are simply inexcusable errors, and eschewed any hopes of me buying sushi from a Hannaford [...]
Yes, this is the best flash game ever. At least, that is, until my ADD kicks in and I move on to the next best flash game ever. But this one is totally awesome because it involves (*drumroll*) SUSHI!!! … and a [...]

For everyday, “I just want some sushi” purposes, Koto does price itself out. Still, some marvelous food can be had there, and I do recommend [...]

I’ll be going back to the B-Wag, as there are a bunch of rolls that you’re not going to get anywhere else (I need to try the oyster roll), but since there probably are as many misses as hits on the menu, and there’s nothing to really set it apart aside from their creativity, I just can’t give it that great a recommendation. I will say that Buffalo Wagon is good, though, and worth the trip if you haven’t yet [...]

I know a lot of people think the world of Sushi Tei, and they’re going to hate me for saying this, but it’s not the best Sushi in the area and I wouldn’t place it in the top tier. Don’t get me wrong – it is very good, and they have some truly outstanding rolls on the menu, but it does get better. Even if you don’t agree with me on anything else, there is no doubt that Sushi Tei abuses the use of avocado. It’s simply everywhere and you would have to try to escape from eating it. If, however, you don’t mind every roll containing avocado, if you may be looking for a place that’s a little cozy, a little farther from mainstream, perhaps someplace with average prices but above average rolls and excellent service – then Sushi Tei is right up your alley. Even if you’re not, it’s still very [...]
