“Great happy hour spot. Don't arrive during happy hour for a dinner table without a reservation on a weekend night. High tops are seated for dinner guests only when guests finally are done with the long happy hour.
Drink specials at happy hour are worth the trip but someone has to wait in line at the door at 4:30 for high top seating. Meeting people at happy hour is easy because seating is close and you can hear everyone's chatter.
Well staffed. Good service. Catering takeout is easy and consistent.
Parking: EV charging for a fee.”
“Emily's team made our holiday party a success! Our group of 40 fit perfectly in the VIP space. The food and service was fantastic. The whole planning process was easy! Highly RECOMMEND!”
“My experience was exceptional tonight in these days and times. When my order for Prime Rib was not cooked to order, they replaced it not only with the correct preferred doneness, but it was replaced in a timely manner and with a genuine desire to please me as a customer. Kudos to the manager that is in charge of the Prime Rib clientele - which is exceptional in the Clifton Park area. 👍”
“Food is very flavorful but the portions are a bit small. Tables are small and slightly cramped. The place is always busy with many people packed in a small area so it is a bit loud”
“We had such a great time here The food was great and Francesca was just lovely and she really wanted you to have a great experience from beginning to end! Big shrimp cocktail, buffalo quesadillas, bacon burger w/fries, turkey & bacon salad,....ALL great! Will be back soon!! Thank you, Francesca!!”

“Fantastic, delicious and very fresh! They use the bare minimum rice in their sushi rolls which is perfection for someone like me who is watching their carbs. The freshest, best sushi in all of Saratoga County. We come from Saratoga Springs because it's better than any place else.”
“This was my first visit to Modu Sushi. Since it was cold out, I started with the shrimp shumai appetizer which was nice and hot and fresh tasting. I liked the nice presence of spring onion in shumai, and the sauce was a good accompaniment.
The 2 rolls I ordered were stuffed well, and rolled nice and tightly. Since their kimchi was sold out, I asked for some gochujiang as a change of pace alongside the wasabi & ginger. What an eye-opener! It had everything. Salt, heat, a fair bit of acid which made the sushi really pop and made my cheeks rosy.
Well, since my cheeks were rosy anyway, I ordered some cold sake, just so I didn't get cold on the way to the car. Yea, that's it...
I finished, as I usually do, with a single piece of Toro as dessert. It was cut well which made it very tender, and as Toro does, just melted in your mouth. Since it was a generous piece, I had some with the gochujiang which made it even better. That is a dangerous sauce!
I definitely want to visit again to try their bulgogi, or bibimbap... or both.
As Arnold said, "I'll be back". ?”

“We’ve been stopping in for a drink for the past few weeks and finally had dinner last night. We ordered three small plates- malai kofta, palak chaat and vegetable samosas. The panak chaat may be the most wonderful thing I’ve ever eaten! Staff is kind and knowledgeable and the atmosphere is lovely.”

“The food here (at Fortune Wok) is delicious! Don't let the size of this place fool you. Everything is freshly made, the staff is very pleasant, the portions are more than enough, and the price is surprisingly affordable. There is something here for everyone (vegetarian included). You can't go wrong eating here.”
“Last night I ordered a cheeseburger for my wife and chicken tikki masala for me. My wife's favorite burger is Burger King. She said the burger was very good and almost as good as Burger King. Her burger was much bigger from Kabob House so she only ate half. While she was enjoying her burger. I was totally enjoying my chicken tikki masala. i wanted to eat half but I kept mixing a little more of the red sauced chicken with the rice. It was so fresh and the spice was so good. I was so full yet wanted more. The only thing I could not understand was, how and why would people not buy a burger here instead of Burger King? It even came with fries. My wife said because it had no onions. Later that evening I heard half a cheeseburger calling me. I cut off a large bite and was amazed by the thickness of the burger. The meat quality was far superior to any fast food burger. I am declaring Kabab House the burger winner. The food here is excellent. What's not to like ? I think they need an interior decorator. The place needs new tables and chairs with a better layout. Brighten things up.”

“to the people commenting on the lack of ambiance...? i think it is fine. for me the music is "ambient" enough, along with the lovely wall mural, and photos showing what the food is....not to mention the collection of both holly AND "bolly"wood stars and starlets, adorning a back side wall. the dining area is always SPOTLESSLY CLEAN, and the bathroom shines. they keep the prices very reasonable, which is a HUUGE plus for me. the food is always great, fresh, and tasty, not to mention a lot healthier than the traditional american diet. staff is attentive. i never felt they "watch to see how many dishes you take", as someone suggested. they are likely making sure people get FRESH plates with every visit to the steam tables., since this is actually a restaurant/buffet health law...i have never ever, once felt like they wanted to "rush" me out. they are always very welcoming and accommodating.. AWESOME SPOT. thank you, clifton park "shalimar".”

“We had a retirement party for my husband in the banquet room downstairs. Highly recommend. Very bright, nicely decorated, private, and kid friendly. Joan their event coordinator was absolutely amazing from beginning planning to end. Great to work with. She made the evening so stress free. We hope to have more events in the banquet room.”
“First time here with my family. Authentic Thai & Japanese Food, nice service with great atmosphere. Will definitely visit again soon 👍🥰🙏🥳”

“Being in the service industry for 15+ years, I will have to say that this place is top notch. The food was absolutely delicious. The timing of the apps and main course was perfect. My filet was cooked perfectly at a medium rare. The Utica greens are amazing!The service was phenomenal. Our server was on top of her game, making sure our drinks were never empty and checking in at the perfect times. We will be back for sure!”
“Was there today for lunch. It was freezing inside. Everyone had to keep their coats on. There was a space heater next to us, but did not generate enough heat in that large of a space. Only cold water in washrooms to wash your hands as well…water never got hot. Server was attentive. Food was good.”
“Over this weekend they hosted our gender reveal on very very short notice! Everyone was so accommodating and the bartenders were phenomenal! The location of being right off the highway made it super convenient”

“16 Handles in Clifton Park did such an amazing job for a graduation party that I had. They allow you to order as many varieties as you want. The great thing is it covers all kinds of dietary restrictions. Everyone was able to have it!!! It was such a big hit at the party and I can’t wait for the opportunity to use them again!!! I have been a fan from the start, when you receive such good customer service it just takes it to the next level!! Thank you for adding to the whole experience.”
“I run a social group for adults with developmental disabilities. One of the activities that we do is visiting for the easiest. The employees there are phenomenal. Great people that care. I can’t say enough good things about this restaurant. And I’ll always be grateful for them being kind to my members take me up to the ball game”
“One of the top coffee shops in the capital region.
The bagels are incredible and my freezer is always fully stocked with their day old bagels that they sell bagged up in front of the store. Their cold brew is so smooth and delicious and I’m always a smitten kitten for anyone that won’t charge me extra for oat milk.
The garlic and herb cream cheese is the best I’ve had in my entire life. The service is always perfection and I swear they only hire absolute sweethearts. The vibes are always exactly what I need and if you’re lucky you’ll hear the staff singing along to their favorite songs and their positive energy is enough to make you want to apply here yourself.
This has become my cozy little hangout spot after dropping my daughter off at daycare and I’ll continue to give them all my money always.
Shoutout to the bearded employee with the dunder mifflin tshirt who was just the perfect amount of positive energy to start my morning today. Love love love this place. Parking is always available and super kid friendly too with high chairs, comfy booths, and outdoor seating if they get a little rowdy. All their treats are kid approved by my 2yr old”

“Wedding Cake !!! We ordered from the Clifton Park, NY location a two tiered cake with 14 dozen bundtinis for our wedding in October!!! They were amazing! The cakes & the staff there. They looked amazing displayed as much as their taste. All our guests loved them & thought how unique it was to have as our wedding cake. We cut the cake but fed each other bundtinis… yummy! Thank you so much for a delicious dessert for our beautiful wedding!! ❤️ Karen & Robert”
“I loved dining at Antipasto’s. We had fun talking to Steve one of the owners. It was cute, laid back and the food was delicious. The eggplant was made to perfection. I throughly appreciate all of the authentic Italian dishes that incorporate white beans. The variety of salads all have yummy veggies .. i can’t wait to return… this will sure be a regular stop for me when I’m Clifton Park..”
“Kiera was so friendly! My boyfriend and I came from the Albany Blaze after cancelling our order with them since our wait would've been an hour past our online orders estimated time. Since I was grumpy leaving Albany Blaze, I wanted to treat myself to my first s'mores pie. Kiera saw I was sad by the lack of smore they had available, and even though I said it was okay, she made me a fresh smore pie because I looked sad ? I was beyond thankful for her kindness tonight, and I look forward to seeing her for my weekly pizza Fridays”
“Wonderful, quiet place to eat with family. Today the 2 ladies working were amazing working together as a team to get our 6 subs put together quickly.We are from out of state and family suggested we get lunch there. Definitely glad it was suggested.They even offered to carry it to our table, seeing we had our hands full. My wife had it under control and thanked them for offering. You don't see service like this much anymore. Store was decorated so qauint for fall as well. We will be back definitely on our next visit to our hometown. Why? Food was fresh and very tasty especially the crisp golden nuggets which our kids loved the most with the cheddar cheese. They gave us some nugget cups for our 2 little ones with lids which made it easier for them to drink out of. Much appreciated. Thank you!!”
“Not your “ average “ Chinese restaurant. Authentic dishes, super knowledgeable staff and a killer background music playlist. Honestly I can’t recommend the food enough!”
“Waiter was excellent! Food & beverages were great. A place to certainly visit again.”

“This restaurant seems to be run by the next generation rather than the old school Asian restaurants. The staff is very upbeat and the food is delicious, not greasy like so many other restaurants. It's so tasty, I have to inquire if you are using MSG because everything is so tasty. Hopefully you not. Please address this question. Anyway... Delicious food!”
“The pizza is some of the best in the capital district if you like a bit thicker crust. The wings were pretty dry and I was not a big fan of the peanut butter and jelly wings flavor. I wish there was a better seating area because it's not close to residential areas and the pizza won't survive a 10+ min drive home without getting mushy.
The picture is after the pizza had been out for 10-15 min so it's not the most flattering picture”
“It was good food. Ordered for take out. They have seating in the restaurant if you want to eat there. Good was ready when I got there. A good choice for a meal to grab on the way home.
Vegetarian options: Eggplant, green beans, mixed vegetables tofu
Wheelchair accessibility: It's in a small strip mall, so the sidewalk area has access for wheel chairs and there are no steps to get inside the establishment.”
“The food has always been good here, tonight was no exception. Onion rings could have been better. They have live music, band and then a DJ tonight. It gets too loud to continue conversations though. The waitress was perfect.”
“This place is a fascinating gem. I don't know what the building was used for originally, but it's a very charming warren of rough wood rooms with quirky but well-suited decor. And the food is exceptional. Frickles (fried pickles and banana peppers), fish & chips, and the Guinness pot roast were all delicious, served hot and quickly, despite the place being packed. Definitely worth a stop or, if you're in the area, add it to your list of go-tos.”
“The food was served cold and the smell in the restaurant was not fresh. The food is like a Chinese buffet style and the attitude of the host is not welcome! 1 ⭐️ out of 10.....not recommended”
“Great professional service by Delia. she was very polite and knowledgeable about the menu. good food quality and large portions. I'll be back.”
“went for the first time this evening with daughter. the fried rice is the best around!!! steak hibachi, spicy crab rolls and shrimp tempura rolls all perfect!! staff is so friendly! our waitress was wonderful! we will be back!”

“I ordered the shumai, miso soup, and a mixed variety of sushi for takeout. It travelled well, and my only regret is that I wish I ordered a few more pieces of sushi. Not that I was left hungry... Surprisingly well-presented for takeout food.”
“I have been here many times. Great food and service along with a laid back, relaxing atmosphere.”

“The clam chowder is VERY thick. My spoon stood up in the bowl. Nice flavor, but needed more clams and broth for a more intense flavor. The potatoes, while cooked just right, were not a consistent size. For $9.50, I expected better. The bowl lobster bisque, for the same price, had similar issues. The flavor was good and very creamy, but only tiny bits of lobster and few of them. The fried Ipswich clams, I LOVE these things, were plentiful and cooked very well. Thank you! The pan fried scallops, nearly as good as the clams. NICE! Not at all over cooked as I have had elsewhere. Again, thanks! Baked beans were one of my two sides. Their flavor was quite nice; tender without being mushy or falling apart; not overly sweet or harsh with too much molasses. The small amount of salt pork was a nice surprise. Thank you! My coleslaw was nice and crispy, not overly sweet or sauced, just a very good balance. The cost is a bit pricey. However, shellfish is expensive. I will be returning to try more of the menu. Lobster rolls specifically.”
“Classic McDonald’s experience—fast service, decent food, and a clean dining area. The fries were fresh and crispy, and my order was correct, which is always a plus. The only downside was that the drive-thru was a bit slow during peak hours. Overall, a solid visit!”
