Kuma Ani (Wolf Road, Colonie NY)

Different than my normal ramen down in NYC. Different flavor profile and type of noodles. It was a pleasant change and appreciated. The service was very much self serve and we'll leave you alone. The pricing was a bit higher than I honestly expected but times are different. Will it work in a pinch yes. Will I drive 2 hrs to get it like NYC no.

Great Japanese food. Loved their Donburi - I ordered the one with beef brisket Gyudon. It was topped with oshinko which I love. Husband ordered spicy tori ramen which was fab. Kids got sumai with shrimp and pork. Overall great service and very clean restaurant. Highly recommended.

Probably my favorite bowl of ramen of all time is the Tori here. It tastes fresh and amazing' and makes your body happy. This food is particularly good for people experiencing bad stomach issues. Lots of anti inflammatory properties and very soft and nutritious.

Place has reasonably priced ramen for its quality. Only had the basic tonkotsu ramen and butadon, but for the price, it's really good at being consistently tasty. IMO, it's more on the side of chinese noodle soup than authentic Japanese ramen (kinda the same tbh), but putting that aside, my favorite thing about their food is the tonkotsu-shoyu broth and their crisp char-sui slices. It's perfect. Lunch time is generally busy. Great atmosphere, open space.

Karaage is so-so, but I didn't really come for their karaage.

Pictures are Butadon (char-siu rice bowl), Karaage with side sauce, and two pics of tonkotsu ramen. Parking is plenty.

A cute little place tha serves delicious Japanese soup, rice, and noodle bowls. The Ramen was perfect for a cold day and the staff was super helpful. The Pork Buns were also delicious and large, worth the price. I wish to go back there soon!
