12 Best Japanese Restaurants in Albany

“We had a lovely family gathering in the Tatami room. Food was delicious & service was wonderful. It was a delightful afternoon. Great way to say goodby to the pandemic. Thanks Jackie!“

“My husband and I absolutely love Samurai. The food is fresh and delicious and the owner is the nicest guy. Highly recommend!“

“This place is amazing. I didn't know what to expect going in to the all you can eat restaurant. I was happily surprised that it's not buffet style. Servers and bussers. The restaurant is nicely styled and comfortable. The greeters and wait staff couldn't have been kinder or more professional. $28.99 is worth every penny just for that. The longest we had to wait between orders was no more than 5 minutes. The food was fresh, perfectly presented and absolutely delicious! I really can't find the superlatives to describe it. Everything combined made this experience one of the best outings I've ever had. I HIGHLY recommend this place.“

“Friend lives in Albany and invited us up for starwars show we where hungry and she recommended sushi asked what was her favorite place she recommended Ruby City, from outside looked a bit more like takeout place but once inside was a amazing clean and quite atmosphere with nice seating orientation, then as it was my husband and I first time there but my friend goes all the time they gave us a quick rundown of how to order using QR code and how most sauces where home made and got to say crab Rangoon’s where amazing they had unique flavor that have not gotten by us, and all there rolls we had were excellent we just kept ordering more and more there rolls were exquisitely made and super fresh ingredients, owners where super kind and funny making some small talk with use and I would recommend to anyone in area or even if your not would say place is well worth the visit

Dietary restrictions: They asked if we hand any allergy’s before ordering“

“The only place open late for Chinese food so happily drove from Clifton Park. Delicious food although ordering online was a tad confusing as I thought I ordered the udon noodle dinner and it ended up being a soup which was still good. Would order “

“After driving through the neighborhood to get to the restaurant, I didn't have high hopes. I humbly apologize for judging a book by the cover...
This little gem has fantastic food, and the service was stellar! I had the green vegetable curry and my friend had the red curry with shrimp. Our tastebuds were in heaven.
We went for a walk after our meal, and it turned out that the neighborhood was actually quite charming - we walked past lots of quaint little shops and eateries and a truly lovely park.
Do yourself a big favor and eat here next time you're in Albany.“

“As a ramen connoisseur, this is good ramen. I got the spicy Tanpopo ramen and the steamed pork dumplings. The dumplings were delicious and the ramen was flavorful. Although, I did not appreciate having to pay $3 to add a single egg into it. Like I said I’ve eaten ramen all over the world including in Japan.. it comes with an egg. Also I didn’t get enough noodles for my taste. I wouldn’t go back because I don’t want to pay 25% extra for an egg. Other than that, they had really good service, and it feels like a ramen bar aesthetic wise.“

“we love tengu asian bistro! it's our favorite place for sushi! especially today...I think we received the best grab Rangoon ever!! idk what is different about it, but it almost tastes like there's a coconut flavor in them as well as the dipping sauce. they were great to begin with, but whatever was done differently today was even better, keep doing it!“
