Best Sushi and Ramen in Albany

Mary Mois

I recently celebrated my birthday at Kazan Sushi, Ramen & BBQ, and had a very good experience. This was my second visit, and I chose this place again because I enjoyed it the first time. The food was tasty and nicely presented, and the staff were polite and attentive. The atmosphere is pleasant, and it’s an overall ... comfortable place to dine. This time we tried the Korean BBQ and cooked everything ourselves, which was a fun addition to the meal. The waitress also wished me a happy birthday and gave me a small badge, which was a nice gesture. I would recommend it. Read More

Seriously under-rated spot. It’s one of my favorite spots to eat. Great food! Great portions and reasonably priced meals. I love the service and the atmosphere is beautiful to dress up or down in. Great for family setting or even a date. I have some great memories in this place and will forever visit as often as I ... can. Whether solo, with family or s.o.s, this restaurant is in my heart.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exceptional Food & Stellar Service at Kazan Ramen! My visit to Kazan Ramen at Crossgates Mall was genuinely fantastic, proving that great management and high-quality food are the keys to a top-tier dining experience. While my visit started off a little rough—the first waitress I encountered wasn't very ... friendly—the owner or manager noticed immediately. They stepped in, addressed the situation professionally, and ensured everything was proper. They even smoothly transitioned me to a new waitress who came over, introduced herself with a warm "Welcome to Kazan," and ensured I knew she was there to take care of me. That is exactly how customer service should be done. But the main event, as always, is the food. The cuisine here is simply impeccable, whether you're enjoying the BBQ at your table or diving into a bowl of their signature ramen. My personal favorite is the Seafood Ramen. The broth is nothing short of exquisite—rich, flavorful, and deeply satisfying. The seafood is always cooked to perfection, tender and fresh, and the overall consistency of the dish is always spot on. I highly recommend Kazan Ramen. This place earns every one of its five stars for delicious food and commitment to exceptional customer care! Read More

Kazan is a cute place. Sushi is really good and always fresh. The duck buns are my partners favorite but make sure you order them to your liking (not made in classic way) but they will add whatever you ask for. TONY IS THE MAN!!

Decent! Expensive but worth the price. Everything from the chives in the miso soup, to the ginger was fresh. 🍣 would definitely stop by again for a date My only complaint? It’s a bit too loud. I wish they would consider turning the radio down a little. Or getting a better playlist. It kept playing the same 10 songs ... from the late 2010’s. 🤢 repetitive and sullied the date a little.

Why the hell is this hidden gem not popping up on my "Google feed"; this kind of spot is exactly what we need in a cultural melting pot!!! The folks here are very personable and give you a run for your money on amiability! Christina and Tashi were amazing. Definitely cared about their customers and have a love for ... the place they work. The dishes we ordered were as delicious as the pictures on the menu appear!

The Ramen was AMAZING! So far it was the best we have ever had. We tried another popular ramen restaurant in Albany prior, but Kazan was much better. Also, the sushi was delicious and well made. The staff was super friendly and polite. Our waiter was super patient and answered all of our questions. The food came out ... quickly. The steamed duck rolls were incredible. We had a fantastic experience and plan to return. The one and only thing I would change would be to add a kids menu. It is perfect without it of course, but would be a good addition for families :) Read More

This is an Awesome spot for Sushi, Ramen, and Specially the fried rice! Finally stopped in after passing by many times while at the mall and always was tempted to look at the menu and once I seen that they had Gluten Free noodles, I was guaranteed to try it eventually. I got a spicy tuna roll and my fiancé got a ... shrimp tempura roll, both were So Good and very well made! Decent wasabi as well! Then we shared a shrimp fried rice and our Ramen bowls came out just after the rice. The shrimp fried rice was Absolutely the best! The smell, the taste just blew us away. Every bite was pure happiness! The ramen bowls were nice and big and presented beautifully! It was my fiancé’s first time trying ramen and she fell in love first sip of the broth. It Was Excellent! Ella our server did an outstanding job and the manager I believe gave us some great recommendations as well! We are excited to come back for me delicious food! Read More
