“girlfriend said it was good so I tried it. was a solid 9/10 on any scale imaginable I'm picky af. I like a flop free cheesy light sauce crispy pie and they made it perfect. it's salty and not too much water content in the sauce FOR ONCE. was FASTER than their time estimate and its well worth $1 for what tastes like amazing breadsticks as your crust. best $15 8 cut in the 518 so far”

“TALK ABOUT CUSTOMER SERVICE!! I didn’t realize they closed at 9, and I walked in with my two girls at 9:02pm. It was a rough night with some tears so we were hoping some froyo would be just the fix we needed. The two women working were mopping the floors and closing up for the night but INSISTED that we get our froyo fix despite the fact that they were actually closed. They couldn’t have been nicer and I felt SO BAD but they promised we weren’t inconveniencing them at all. I was beyond impressed with the customer service and work ethic. We will 100% be back to this location for the simple fact that they were so incredibly kind to us. THANK YOU! You made our night!”

“We have always gone here for any celebrations and had a great experience. Tonight was good but not great. We were a party of 12 and made reservations. Once we were all seated it was like we were rushed to leave. Ordered drinks which too longer than normal. Order two plates of sushi and they came mid way through our meal. Cooking started before soup or salad. Once the cooking was done. Boxes came out but we were celebrating our granddaughter’s 7th birthday. So was asked if we could get something for her. Took a little bit but ice cream, candle and singing but there were 5 other kids at the table who wanted ice cream too. Asked for them to have some and waited 20 minutes. It was such an odd experience. We will go back but please slow down Hanzo! This is what we pay for…a nice evening out. To give a time frame, we sat down at 435 and we were done at 530 but then waited for ice cream.”

“Owner/manager was playing with his cellphone in the corner and didn't say a word to me as I struggled to balance the food and extract 2-20 ounce diet pepsi's. I used to frequent this location 20 years ago. The taste of the food has changed considerably and not for the better. The pizza was somewhat undercooked and soggy. The meatballs were realistically barely a 3.5 out of 5 stars. The pizza was barely ordinary, rated a 3, and that was a gift. The young man who served me at the counter tried his best and deserved 5 stars. Overall, I drove from Clifton Park to patronize this location in East Greenbush. However, it'll be a long time before I return. My message for the owner is that he can do whatever he wants. One thing that he doesn't realize is that I hardly complain or return food. BUT, I'M THE CUSTOMER WHO NEVER COMES BACK.

Parking: Limited parking during rush hours.”

“The recovery room is pretty good for what it is. A sports bar with ample TVs and they will change the channel suit your needs. That was very helpful when we saw a packer game in our own booth. Sometimes the sound of the other games was a little too loud but that was okay. The food was prepared nicely. There was a good selection of beer. There were not any specialty cocktails of note. It would have been helpful
if they had a QR code for the beer and other drinks. Instead it was a recently printed menu which was okay but we had to ask for it”

“When going out to eat with a large family, I sometimes feel very anxious because it can be overwhelming for staff to see such a large group with children. However, my fears were put to rest yesterday. All the praise goes to our amazing server Heather C. This beautiful soul did not hesitate to take our family of ELEVEN in her section last night. She took great care of us with a smile. She took time to check in on us whilst running around to her other guests. The drink machine was down but she (along with the bartender) got all our drink orders right anyway. The food was delicious! Overall, the whole family had a wonderful meal.”
