“This was my first time trying smoked salmon and it was so delicious!!! It melted like butter to the bite. Create Your Own Salad: Chicken Breast, Smoked Salmon, Smoked Bacon, Avocado, Mesclun mix, Carrots, Corn, Cucumbers, Grape Tomatoes, Red Onions, Shallots dressed with Chipotle Aioli (sauce). I sadly forgot to take pictures of the Honeydew Bubble Tea (24oz ice) with Strawberry Boba and the Wild Berries Crepe (regular with extra Pocky Sticks. I was so caught up eating the salad that by then I forgot my crepe & tea in the fridge. Lol. The crepe is "Sliced strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, vanilla custard cream, whipped yogurt, chocolate pearls, granola." It is so fruity, bright and very creamy! The entire meal was fulfilling and good food.“

“We only really get bubble tea when we come through, though I plan to try their food sometime soon and will update our rating. We often get food from their sister stall across from them. But we love coming here. My son thinks their bubble tea is the best and they are the only place who can omit green tea from their fruit teas for little people who don't really need the caffeine. Very friendly, kind and accommodating people run this place and we will keep coming back for a long time.“

“The food is delicious! The boba tea (I got Taro) is not too sweet, but a perfect balance. The boba (tapioca pearls) were flavorful too. The ramen soup is scrumptious. So many different flavors. I can’t fit it all in, great portions. The pork is juicy and crispy and flavorful. Eggs are perfectly cooked. This was my second time here, getting the same thing, because it’s so good! It was a little on the expensive side (12.50 for the pork ramen, 6.50 for the boba) overall, 5 stars.“

“The food and the drinks 🍸. They will knock you on your rump roast....“

“We enjoy ourselves every time we come .. especially on our anniversary“

“This is authentic sushi served in a no frills atmosphere. Put down that grocery store fake sushi and treat yourself to the real deal. The pacing is slower here, but it's worth the wait. They are BYOB, so pick up an adult beverage to enjoy while you dine in.“

“We celebrated my sons baptism with family and friends at a private event at Yang’s on July 17, 2022. I am still getting calls and texts from our guests raving about the food and the overall experience! The Yang’s team went above and beyond to make our party special. The food was fresh, hot, and very tasty! I would highly recommend Yang’s Asian Bistro for your next private event or catering! Thank you Yang’s! ❤️“

“Fantastic, delicious and very fresh! They use the bare minimum rice in their sushi rolls which is perfection for someone like me who is watching their carbs. The freshest, best sushi in all of Saratoga County. We come from Saratoga Springs because it's better than any place else.“

“Great food and service!!!“

“I ordered take out for dinner last night. Kind of a big order. Four hibachi combos for myself and family. The man on the phone was nice and patiently took all orders. It was our first time there so we didn’t have any expectations. The food upon bringing it home was packaged very neatly and was still hot! Everything was delicious! chicken and steak combos were cooked how we asked; mild, but nice flavor and not dry. My son got shrimp combo and that was good too. I love love love that the veggies were soft and flavorful. Noodles and rice were also very good. We didn’t get the two shrimp appetizer, but that’s ok. Portion sizes were good, ate the whole meal in one sitting because it was that good. Prices are a little bit up there, but fair for hibachi in my opinion. Definitely will be repeat customers, hopefully it stays just as good!“

“A wonderful small family owned business with great food and service. Our families favorite sushi spot.“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“Food is great, probably one of the best things I've tasted in a while after moving to Troy. Been urging to eat something more flavorful and this restaurant definitely satisfied that, the price is just right and the employees are amazing.“

“Wow. Just stopped on a hungry tare.
I got a U2 roll after looking at a lot on the vast menu. I must say I was extremely pleased and somewhat surprised. It was very good. I very much enjoy Sushi as often as I can. While this spot is a bit off my regular path. If I'm at all close, I will stop and see what else they do, so we'll.“

“Kristen is the best of their waitstaff !!!“

“Best sushi I've ever had!“

“The best service, the best sushi in the best drinks I recommend for everyone to try shogun“

“very nice staff and owner is very kind. try the toro tuna belly sashimi... it is the best I have eaten in all of the usa“

“Arigato this place was good“

“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 food was served cold and the smell in the restaurant was not fresh. The food is like a Chinese buffet style and the attitude of the host is not welcome! 1 ⭐️ out of 10.....not recommended“

“went for the first time this evening with daughter. the fried rice is the best around!!! steak hibachi, spicy crab rolls and shrimp tempura rolls all perfect!! staff is so friendly! our waitress was wonderful! we will be back!“

“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 “

“This was my first visit to Modu Sushi. Since it was cold out, I started with the shrimp shumai appetizer which was nice and hot and fresh tasting. I liked the nice presence of spring onion in shumai, and the sauce was a good accompaniment.

The 2 rolls I ordered were stuffed well, and rolled nice and tightly. Since their kimchi was sold out, I asked for some gochujiang as a change of pace alongside the wasabi & ginger. What an eye-opener! It had everything. Salt, heat, a fair bit of acid which made the sushi really pop and made my cheeks rosy.

Well, since my cheeks were rosy anyway, I ordered some cold sake, just so I didn't get cold on the way to the car. Yea, that's it...

I finished, as I usually do, with a single piece of Toro as dessert. It was cut well which made it very tender, and as Toro does, just melted in your mouth. Since it was a generous piece, I had some with the gochujiang which made it even better. That is a dangerous sauce!

I definitely want to visit again to try their bulgogi, or bibimbap... or both.

As Arnold said, "I'll be back". ?“

“I have been here many times. Great food and service along with a laid back, relaxing atmosphere.“

“First time here with my family. Authentic Thai & Japanese Food, nice service with great atmosphere. Will definitely visit again soon 👍🥰🙏🥳“

“Wonderful lunch, great service!“

“Never have had a bad meal from there. We get lunch from there once a week and everything has been amazing. Best sweet potato sushi ever! The beef ramen I had today was phenomenal! We love this place!“

“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.“

“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!“

“I typically go here with my girlfriend every few weeks or so to have some appetizers and ramen. I recommend their curry, chicken, and vegetable ramens if you avoid pork as these have a chicken or vegetable broth.

Really good food and service, always happy to visit!

Dietary restrictions: Non-pork and vegetarian options if you're limited on diet!“

“I ordered a Spicy Salmon roll and a Philadelphia roll. They were excellent. Also ordered some wonton soup and shrimp spring rolls. Wonton filling was a little fattier than I like, but everything was good. Definitely ordering sushi from here again.“

“I ordered the shumai, miso soup, and a mixed variety of sushi for takeout. It travelled well, and my only regret is that I wish I ordered a few more pieces of sushi. Not that I was left hungry... Surprisingly well-presented for takeout food.“

“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.“

“always a great meal ken and his wife are super friendly and funny great atmosphere and if your alone sit at the bar great conversation“

“Fresh Fresh Fresh....you can tell the difference in the taste.“

“My daughter and I have been here twice now, and both times agreed that the sushi was excellent. I don’t know what it is, but it tastes really fresh. I honestly thought tonight’s sushi was probably the best I’ve ever had. The atmosphere is nice as well. Looking forward to coming back.“
