First time in the area. So glad we found this resto open on a July 4 (2025). The Salmon Teriyaki Bento Box at $23 did not disappoint. Serving was big compared to what we are used to in the NYC Metro Area. Staff was friendly and ca attentive too. Will return. Adding this in my list of food choices when in Albany + I-87.

Was very good, floor was very slippery in the back private area and a few members of our party had a few close calls.

Very pleased with the food from Samurai. Sushi platter was wonderful. They made one meal gluten free, upon request. Not clear about their soy sauce tho. If the online ordering does not work, just go in person, order. They bring out your pickup order fairly quickly. They know the online ordering doesn't always complete. 🤷♀️ i tried two different ways. Failed. Going in person was more time, but worth it.

Delicious veggie sushi! Kudos to the kitchen for accommodating my preference to avoid egg.

It was amazing. The rice, noodles, vegetables, steak, and chicken were perfect. The service and atmosphere were outstanding. Waitstaff were attentive and asked if anyone had food allergies immediately after sitting down. chef was very engaging. 100% going again.

First of all the food was horrible. I've eaten at many japanese steakhouses and I must say that this was one of the worst. My first clue should have been that there was barely anyone there on a saturday evening. However, I was traveling home and wanted someJapanese food. This... was a big disappointment. The only positive I can say is the service was very good. But then again they didn't have any other customers to wait on.
Honestly not a welcoming vibe. For some yes, but not all. Hate to be that guy but it is what it is.

This is the best hibachi restaurant in the capital region! The waitstaff are attentive and the chefs put on an amazing show! The food was also delicious and their portions are so generous that you are guaranteed to have leftovers for lunch! They put yum in yum yum sauce!

Great portions, but shrimp is tasteless.. Plus, worst customer service I’ve ever seen!
