Ruby City — Restaurant in City of Albany

Ruby City AYCE Dinner Came here for the first time with my partner for dinner on Valentine’s Day, wanting to try out a new place for sushi since we love sushi but it was truly a disappointing experience. Highly not recommended. Service was lacking- there was only one person basically doing everything, and also wasn’t really doing the best. No communication in telling us how to order with no menu or neither asking us what we wanted to drink. Server seemed uninterested and took forever to bring out our food, even after we were trying to get her attention she would just walk right by us. Everything was very old and not very clean. There was zero ambiance and didn’t feel comfortable with tables so close to each other. The fish was clearly not fresh, with a strange texture and off-putting smell. The sushi had no flavor, and the rolls were falling apart. The food was nothing special at ALL. No need to come here and waste your money on terrible food. We lost our appetite and didn’t want to order nothing! This was completely inexcusable and I recommend going anywhere else for dinner. Very embarrassing. Even paying the check was terrible, adding their own tip without telling us and cash only to pay, if you pay with card you will need to pay there extra fee. I would definitely NOT recommend this spot if you’re looking for an authentic sushi experience! Will NEVER be coming back here again!

The Most Endearing Meal I've had at a restaurant, Period.

From the moment you step foot into this quaint little gem, you know your about to have an experience while dining at this restaurant. It's décor is tastefully Asian minimalist, with quality details subtly designed so that the food takes center stage.

My server Yuki was absolutely delightful. Her stern "encouragement" that I was not to work on my Ipad during my meal, so that I could enjoy their creations was something most people don't give a second thought to, and I'm glad I took her advice (otherwise she said they would charge me double for their All you could eat menu, which for the money was the most ridiculous price I've ever seen for the quality of food they serve). So I paid attention, and enjoyed some of the freshest and most flavorful Shushi I have had in some time.

If you are anywhere near this restaurant and enjoy Shushi or Ramen you won't find a better quality AND value then what Ruby City has to offer.

A Gem of a restaurant that will now be a mainstay for my many visits to the capital region. Don't take my word for it, go find out for yourself, you'll be...

I came because I saw Tonkotsu Ramen on DoorDash and the photo of it showed a rich, creamy white broth.

Turned out the restaurant was close enough to actually just go instead of order dellivery. O show up and order Takoyaki and Tonkotsu Ramen. The Ramen broth was more yellow than white and the only flavor was onion. The pork flavor in the broth was nearly nonexistent. The Char Siu pork in the ramen tasted exactly of Kikkoman Teriyaki Marinade, rather than a homemade braising sauce. The Octopus in the Takoyaki was like a rubber bullet, not like normal octopus chewiness.

I went to pay the bill, very disappointed in the moment, when my Order and Tax were $25, but my bill was somehow $30. They included a mandatory tip on the bill without a spot to write your own tip. I do not consider that a tip. That is just the bill at that point. It was the cherry on top of a terrible experience.

I do not recommend this place based on 2 different items being poorly executed. If change is brought to the food and to the billing system, I would give another chance. Until then, I will look elsewhere and suggest you do,...
