    The staff was great, friendly and knowledgeable. They have your normal selection of proteins and a ton of toppings and sauces, they even have flaming hot Cheetos which was a fun addition. Everything seemed fresh, and the bowl was delicious.

    Yummm i ordered the metabolic bowl served in a medium bowl. Eating without much guilt since it has half brown rice half zoodles (fresh zucchini noodles), ahi tuna, salmon, and house sauce! I was craving for it and glad I chose this place. The place is very cozy with nice design inside. Service is good. Lots of parking.

    I love me some raw fish! We ordered curbside quite a few times during Covid which was much appreciated and super convenient. You can order online so there's no wait. Curbside is still offered but my husband and I ventured inside for the 1st time. We were the only people in there when we went so it obviously was very quick to go through the line and order our customized bowls. We both got the build your own 3 protein bowls which are about $15. It was enough food to last us for 2 meals. We've tried almost every ingredient they offer. Always fresh and never disappointed. The inside is super clean and almost a little empty. I feel like if I shouted, it would echo. There is an outside covered area to eat with tables and flowers. It overlooks the parking lot of the plaza so not much of a view but a nice option. The only tiny tiny complaint I have is that the employee that prepared our bowls and checked us out seemed like she hated her job. No pleasantries exchanged, kind of a monotone voice, didn't seem very friendly or welcoming. I'm not expecting to make a best friend or anything but a little effort can go a long way. We'll certainly keep going back and recommend to others!

    Quarantine lunch we decided to try the Poke Bar. While I'm not a real fan of Poke there are other choices for non-poke diners. I ordered a small salad, but it was by no means small. It was more than enough for a satisfying lunch. Greens, cukes, juicy chicken and a lovely vinegrette. It's a place I will return to since there are so many choices. They currently have outside seating available but no dining room set up. Was a great choice for lunch.

    Delicious, healthy bowl! You can pick and choose ingredients. Vegan, vegetarian and meat eater friendly. Can choose sauces, veggies to be included and toppings. A great meal for everyone because you can specialize them! We ordered takeout! I have all Avocado and my mother enjoys avocado and tofu! Yum! We ordered takeout! It was here in 40 minutes and comes with a fork To Dig right in!

    A total score for the Loudonville area. In an area littered by Italian American restaurants, fast food, and chain restaurants, little places like this are popping up and creating much needed cuisine diversity. I was excited to check this place out while running errands in my area. It's in an easy location with plenty of parking. I came around noon on a Saturday and shocked to be the only customer. The place is open, modern, clean and welcoming. I was greeted by a super bubbly girl behind the counter, she was great! I have never done a Poké Bowl before, but I looked at the menu prior and decided to build my own bowl. I chose a large bowl which came with 3 scoops of protein and I found it to be a perfect amount of food (skipped breakfast). The girl behind the counter was so knowledgeable and patient, since she knew I was doing this for the first time. She described ever single ingredient and made it easy for me! I chose a base of brown rice and mixed greens, and a one scoop of each raw fish (tuna, salmon, spicy tuna). I chose more toppings and sides than I can really rattle off but it was all super delicious. They layer in sauces and seasonings through the whole bowl. It was SO GOOD. I also grabbed the wasabi, ginger, and a few soy sauces. Everything was super fresh and flavorful. I loved it. It was $16 for the large bowl, which was pricy for lunch but I was ok with it. I will definitely be back for another!

    I enjoy pokey and eat it a lot as I travel frequently. Most places are about the same. Decent quality fresh fish. This one not so much. Every place I've been to takes the protein, in this case, the salmon, put it in a separate bowl and mixes the sauce around it so it's not stuck together in a clump when you go to eat it. They don't do that here. They also don't clean their lettuce. It was gritty and not in great shape. They also don't give you much in terms of extras, one of the smaller servings of edamame, or the free extras I've seen. They also don't have many of them, I get mango, almost everywhere, and they don't have it here. they fill the bowl with a lot of the dirty greedy lettuce perhaps to make you think you're getting more. So I don't need to go to this one again. And if you haven't, you don't need to go to it either.

    My husband has been raving about this place and today I finally joined him for dinner here. It was a perfect day to sit outside, they have a lovely outdoor seating area and since we also had our furbaby a good option for us. The staff here is super friendly and our bowls were delicious. We both went with the make your option. I chose the two proteins and hubby went with the three proteins. Fairly easy to follow assembly line and by the time you get all the free toppings it's a very filling meal. The fresh seafood and all the topping mixed with the warm rice made this girl very happy.

    Delicious and perfect for a sweltering hot day! Ordered for delivery and it was timely and fresh. Dumplings were still warm and the bowl was served cold so it traveled perfectly! You get so much for your money and they have a ton of options. Definitely check it out! Great for lunch or healthy, but still filling dinner!

    We were in NC and loved the Poke bowl place that we went to. Since we had to be in Albany I searched the best rated place and glad I did. The choices were great and the fish was super fresh.

Found d some street parking, went to the order kiosk and placed my order based on what I could eat and recommendations from the employee at the register. I chose, lunch combo with chicken and chicken teriyaki plate. May be, just the chicken was overcooked and a little fibery, besides that, it was very flavorful. I do have a couple more options to try, with me enjoying the food, definitely makes it an option for a revisit. If you live pork and beef, you definitely have more options. The restaurant was clean and well maintained.

    We ordered the following for takeout at the bespoke bowl:…read moreKorean Fried Chicken Wings- Moist wings were still crispy even after transferring them home in the containers. Spam Musubi - The spam had a nice savory flavor slightly salty went well with the rice. The seaweed had a slight fishy taste that was pleasant with the dish. Bulgogi Kimchi Burrito with beef (2 Burritos) We might eat this there next time it was falling apart in the container the wax paper was sticking to it. The flavor was really good though. Slight amount of spice nice vegetable crunch tasty marinated beef. Side of french fries were kind of tasty nothing special. Nashville Hot Chicken Sando Combo came with two sandwiches we asked for 1 mild and one regular. The first chicken sandwich was a little dry it might've been the mild flavor, it was all right. The medium chicken sandwich had a little bit more spice than the mild same so so flavor a little dry also. Spicy Pork Bowl with SPICY MAYO. This had a nice flavor, a little bit sweet and a good amount of spice. The sauce was sweeter than I like. We wanted to try a nice variety since we had never been there and have been wanting to try the place for a while. All in all we found the food to be pretty good, not sure if we would order any of these items again though since we felt nothing knocked our socks off. We would like to try the poke bowl next. If you are ordering for pick up be careful about where you order it. Make sure you go to bespoke bowl's website. Important sidenote when ordering takeout here: We ended up going through what we thought was their website and it was some third-party site that was selling this restaurants food and we ended up paying between 12 and $15 more for our order. I showed it to the staff when I picked it up because I had looked at their menu in the store and saw the price difference. The staff seemed confused/surprised.

    After a long day of this and that, we decided to treat ourselves to some Asian food. And since this…read moreplace was just down the street and had recently opened, it seemed like a good opportunity to try them out. We had a coupon in a book that was mailed to us, otherwise I never would have known this place existed. It took over a failed Subway restaurant (which was right around the corner from Mr. Subb), and I was surprised an Asian takeout place moved in because right around the corner (next to the Mr. Subb) was another Chinese take out place. Sure, this place has dine-in options. And it claims to be Asian Fusion. Anyway, we both ordered the same dish: General Tsos chicken. I had brown rice, and my wife had fried rice. The softspoken guy who answered the phone was friendly and told us our order would be ready in 10-15 minutes. For a Sunday night, they must have been slow. I got there with time to spare and watched him cook our food. The dining room is cute, though I would guess the fixtures were used as some were already torn and worn down. The chef's bar had nice blue lighting and features, and there was some fish out in the cooler wrapped up in plastic. I don't eat sushi so I cannot comment on whether this is the way sushi bars are, but it seemed interesting. Our food was served in Japanese style take-out containers. There were five individual compartments filled with the chicken/broccoli, the rice, the spring roll (or egg roll, depending on interpretation), some duck sauce, and packets of soy sauce. It traveled a lot better than those white cardboard boxes or round plastic containers. However, as my wife noted, they cost more too. I saved my containers to use for other projects. The food was step above regular takeout fare. I can't say if the recipes were better, if it were fresher, or if the travel containers helped it fare better. There was less sauce on it, which likely helped. Both rice types used Japanese short grain, which was fine by me but not what you normally get with Chinese takeout. Also, it wasn't spicy at all. And the portions were smaller than most, yet the prices were much higher than most. Two combo meals were $34.00 before tip. I know of places to go for really cheap, bad Chinese food (buffets), and places to go for really expensive, high-quality Chinese food. As for take-out, though, the lines blur a bit. I want to like this place, but I love the restaurant around the corner. I don't see how both can succeed. Since it is primarily a sushi restaurant, perhaps that is the niche they should focus on.

    This is a cute new place that moved into the corner of Osborne and Albany Shaker. The menu has…read moreChinese, Japanese and Thai dishes but the interior and Chinese takeout presentation leads me to believe they're Japanese trained or more focused on that cuisine. Menu prices seemed high for Chinese, portion was small and they used sushi rice to make the fried rice. The egg roll filling was mushy but came in a crispy spring roll paper. On the positive everything was fresh and presented nicely. The duck sauce for the egg roll was homemade. The chef who took my order was soft spoken, polite and friendly. In the future I'd like to sit at the counter for omakase and see how good the chef is.

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.

In the background on the TV was the Food Network. Our waitress was very polite and gave us time to order. I started with the Szechuan dumplings which turned out to be steamed dumplings in a spicy peanut saucy. They were very soft, almost to the point of mushy, and the meatball inside was chewy. I had never heard of them before and really enjoyed them, though I didn't find them spicy. My wife disagreed on that point, and didn't care for them. For my son, we ordered "chicken fingers". They were larger pieces of battered deep fried chicken (think sweet and sour chicken) and cooked so long as to be hard and greasy. He didn't want to eat them, and after one bit I completely agreed. They were terrible. Very little meat, very hard coating, very oily. Yuck. We threw nearly all of it away. My wife ordered sushi, and during the ordering process there was some confusion as to what fish came with it and whether there was an upcharge or not. She ended up with a standard sushi order and didn't enjoy it all that much. It might have been sitting around a bit too long. I ordered the General Tso chicken and was very disappointed. There was lots of chicken and it wasn't fried as hard as the chicken fingers, but I didn't like the sauce. It was loaded with minced ginger, shallots, and garlic which gave it a much different taste than anywhere else I have had this dish. As I looked at it more, it hit me... I have bought this bottled sauce before from the supermarket. I think it is "Iron Kitchen" brand, and I used to have some in my fridge (when I bought it, I discovered it didn't taste good either so it sat in my fridge for ages). Yangs didn't make their sauce from scratch, and it was gloopy and thick. he picture of this dish on the online menu doesn't match what you get. Do they always use this sauce? I dunno, but it was one of the worst versions I have ever eaten. After dropping off our food, the waitress disappeared and was clearly busy with other tables. She never checked on us to see how we were doing, and it took a while for someone else to refill our drinks. They did a tremendous amount of takeout while we were there. All in all, it was a very disappointing meal. We won't be back.
