We Have been here many times before and NEVER again will we be back. We came in this afternoon and upon walking in the cashier is walking up to the bar stuffing her face with food. We ignored it said it was slow and she was just munching, now we’re standing at the counter placing our order and there young cook is as well stuffing his face with food. Which number one is a complete health code violation. We have him the benefit of the doubt and hoped he was going to wash his hands before starting to touch anything or even put on gloves. But NOPE nothing neither. We stood at the counter and watched him cook our food. He is chewing gum and with one hand he stretches the dam gum from his mouth and back in & the best part is after he does that he holds up our plate with rice on it and drags his dirty finger around the edge of the plate to show how nice the rice looks to his coworker cashier Named Olha. Once he does that I completely freak out and point out everything they just did and how it’s completely disgusting and asked for a refund. The cook hears me and spits out the gum and now grabs a pair of gloves and puts them on. This is by far the worst experience I’ve ever seen/ been through, not only as a customer but as a general manager in the food industry. I’d like very much for the owner to reach out and make this right. Including with the workers, didn’t catch the name of the cook but here’s a photo incase you ever devise to go in and he’s cooking be cautious.

I door dashed the vegan crispy chicken rice bowl and the vegan crispy chicken sandwich. It was very good, the portions were filling and the tofu was cooked to perfection!

Super cool spot. Food and interesting ideas, gifts. Fresh for Albany
But beware! It’s a bit far from the train station to walk.

Love this place. Best egg sandwich ever. They offer veg options which is always a bonus. Don’t sleep on their breakfast or salads.

We searched for restaurants when the Amtrak train had a long stop at Albany and found Son of Egg a delicious surprise. The food was full of flavor with Korean style seasoning and the portion was huge.

Food wasn’t fresh and seemed reheated (not to temperature) straight from the freezer. The tornado potato was bland and stale without adequate seasoning. Boba tea was clearly made from a ready made powder mix because I could feel the coarseness from the mix. Korean food it is not, more like korean inspired.

My partner and I stopped in after a train ride up from the city. I got the Bulgogi Bowl with the recommended Fried Kimchi, and he got the Crispy Chicken Bowl with a fried egg. Both were amazing, 5/5 taste, good portion sizes, and reasonably priced. We came at an odd time of day so the restaurant was quiet, but the ambiance was fine. We’ll have to come back in for one of the events.

10/10 spot to grab a bite during an Amtrak Layover and only a 5 min walk from the station. They were fast, staff was nice and the crispy chicken sandwich was fresh, actually crispy and soooo good. Son of Egg gives me a reason to actually be excited to have a layover in Albany now :)

The bibimbap was pretty solid and the staff were helpful/friendly— but my favorite was the radish kimchi I took home to eat later 😍 it has great crunch and is deliciously spicy, a great addition to my weeknight dinners. I’ll be sad to finish it 🥲

Staff were friendly and understanding, food was astonishing. Meal was both visually appetizing and extremely delicious with a good balance for each part of the dish.

Always excellent, though the occasional missing ingredient from the order. Still slaps.
