    Amazing food, love the neighborhood family operated feel of the renovated dining room and small bar. Probably the best clam linguine I’ve ever had. Chicken parm was top notch. Great value and experience especially for a non weekend night!

    Lunches are served Tuesdays and Thursdays at the culinary school t Schenectady Community College. Dinner is served Wednesdays. There are Regional USA menus in the Fall and International ones in the Spring. Today was Asian and it was one of the best experiences of the year. The appetizers were curry udon soup with chicken katsu or Pork belly buns. We both ordered the soup. It was spicy, but not too spicy with slices of crisp chicken cutlet. I wouldn't have thought of putting fried chicken in a soup, but it was delicious. There were three entrees, Beef Bulgogi, Garam Marsala scented red snapper and ginger scallion noodles. I ordered the bulgogi and it was the best I ever tasted. It was extremely tender with wonderful seasoning. It was accompanied by picked vegetables and white rice. My partner ordered the noodle dish which came with crispy fried tofu. He said it was very good. Desserts were stickr rice with mango, Japanese roll cake, Japanese cheese cake and matcha icecream with mocha cookies. We both ordered the cheesecake which was lighter than I am used to but very good. Highly recommend you try this restaurant if you are willing to try new things. We tried it around 12 times in the past year and were rarely disappointed.
