Stopped while passing through. Service was quick and friendly. We had some fantastic ramen. Broth was excellent, condiments were very well prepared. Flavors and blend of spices was amazing. Prices are very reasonable. Was a very short detour but we’d make a point to come back here again.

Got the ultimate tankostu ramen and the c-town pulled pork buns. Both were very good. I did a 4/5 on the spice level and it was perfect for me. Staff was friendly, no issues.

By far the worse ramen in the area. Taichi on Western or Kazan in Crossgates are miles above.
Tonkotsu broth is clear and blend, Ban Mein are floury, Vegan Ramen have little to no taste.
Only redeeming quality is staff and speed or service (we were served in less than 5min) which makes Kuma Ani a fastfood more than a nice Ramen Bar.

This is my son's favorite restaurant, and we love coming here. The staff are very friendly. Everything we have ordered from the menu is delicious, AND it is so cool that you can customize your ramen order with the DIY option. We just went there this evening and really enjoyed our meal.

I cannot say enough about how great Kuma Ani is! The food is awesome, and the service and quality are always consistent.

I had lunch at Kuma Ani on Wolf Rd today and tried the Vegetarian Spicy Ramen – it was delicious and very filling! The place is small and tends to get packed during lunchtime on weekdays, but the cozy atmosphere makes it worth the wait. The staff is incredibly kind and attentive, which added to the great experience. Definitely recommend stopping by for a flavorful bowl of ramen!

Amazing ramen. Vegan friendly. The taste is just amazing. Had a vegan base ramen with miso soup and with veggies. It was other worldly.

Kuma Ani is a Japanese eatery with delicious options for a quick meal in a laid-back atmosphere! I’ve been here a few times, and everything I've tried so far has been fantastic.

We’ve had the Karaagedon, Curry Chicken Ramen, Spicy Gyu Ramen, Ultimate Tonkotsu Ramen, Curry Don, and the Zha Jiang Mein. Every dish is packed with incredible flavors, perfectly cooked, and the beef is always SO tender. My boyfriend’s go to is the Spicy Gyu, but I still need to try more to figure out my favorite! I also appreciate how beautifully they present the food ^_^

They also offer a Build-Your-Own (BYO) ramen option, which I’m yet to try.

We’ve ordered takeout from them before, and the food was packed securely with no spills. I was worried about the ramen, but it arrived warm and intact!

The staff is incredibly sweet and friendly, especially the lady at the front—she’s so adorable and always mindful of the customers. I love when she calls me "dear," it always makes me smile hehe ☺️

The relaxed atmosphere of Kuma Ani makes it the perfect spot for a quick meal when you’re craving ramen, rice bowls, or noodles.

I swear they put magic in every bowl of ramen they make. I recently moved away from the capital region and I can't find anything like Kuma Ani in my new location, I've been dearly missing it. Whenever my partner or I make a trip back to Albany, we make sure to grab a bowl of ramen and a yuzu drink.

The service is as fast as it is welcoming. The food is as good for the appetite as it is for the soul. What are you waiting for?
