40 Best Japanese Restaurants near Latham

“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.“

“I stopped into Kobe Ramen in Latham for lunch and ordered the wonton soup and a fruit tea. The soup was delicious – the broth was very flavorful and the wontons were cooked to perfection, soft and tender without falling apart. The fruit tea was a nice, refreshing sweet drink to go with it. The staff were very nice and welcoming, and the atmosphere was great and cozy for a mid-day break. I’d definitely come back here when I want something warm and comforting.“

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

“Excellent portions for the price, absolutely delicious food. The staff were friendly and quick. I only regret that I didn't notice there were a couple of specials written on small signs behind the bar, and I only looked at the menu. One of them was literally my favorite dish, and I didn't notice in time to try it.“

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

“Great Friendly service, we have been going for years“

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

“Great food and service!!!“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“Italian Japanese in Albany. Who knew?

Fun, creative fusion dishes. Japanese Curry pasta with scallops and shrimp. Cornish hen with togarashi, cipolini onions and mashed potatoes. No sushi, teriyaki or other generic Japanese restaurant items.

Very cool cocktail and mocktail options.

Austere decor. Energetic staff. Definitely worth it.“

“One of the best sushi/hibachi in the area. We have tried most of the ones in the area, this was ADORABLE, very clean, amazing food, for a great price, we had more than enough to eat, and it was delicious, and fresh. 10/10, try it, you will love it“

“This is my go-to spot whenever I’m craving sushi and a peaceful dine-in meal with my husband. The owners (husband and wife) are incredibly kind, hardworking people, and I love supporting a small local business like theirs. The sushi is always fresh and delicious, and the Korean garlic fried chicken is a must-get at this place! 👍🏼🤩 Cannot recommend it more!“

“Didn’t have sake this time, but this spicy lemongrass is by far the best I’ve had! Can’t wait til they have beef available to replace the shrimp…def coming back for this!
And don’t forget to leave your dollar bill…💵“

“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“

“I always look forward to Mr.Fuji whether I’m ordering takeout or sitting in. Always fresh, atmosphere is great, and staff is always friendly!“

“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“

“Spent Valentine’s Day here and the food was absolutely delicious!!! The dragon roll and takoyaki were amazing! The unagi sashimi was to die for and lastly the chicken katsu was incredible. We loved our time especially the owners Yuki is amazing as well as the rest of the staff. We found our new treat yourself spot and look forward to give Yuki (the GOAT) another warm hug ❤️❤️“

“Best sushi I've ever had!“

“We just stopped in for dinner for tye first time since the grand re-opening and I can confirm that the food is absolutely just as excellent as it was before the tragic explosion that closed the restaurant for what seems like forever! And the new building and seating are far superior to those in the prior incarnation. Sonya and her family have done it again! For us, Pad Thai Noodle is an essential fixture in the restaurant scene of the Capital District. Their Green Curry (my favorite) and the signature Pad Thai (my wife’s fave) are simply unmatched around here. Highly and unreservedly recommended.“

“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!“

“The hibachi lunch was the best I have had in the capital region. I got the combo with chicken and shrimp and the flavor was spot on. The portion size was also huge for the price so value was definitely there! I have also tried a few special rolls and each have been delicious. I would recommend to anyone in the area.“

“Arigato this place was good“

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

“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 “

“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.“

“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.“

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

“They have a cool sound system that plays top hits rerecorded by smooth jazz artists. Don't order more than medium spicy unless your constitution is indestructible!“

“This Japanese-themed bar has a fun, lively vibe and a steady crowd of regulars. Seems like we run into familiar faces almost every time we visit. The drinks are reasonably priced, right in that middle ground of cheap and expensive. It’s a small space, but it feels busy, which just adds to the energy. They stay open late (a big plus for us!), and the owner and staff are always incredibly friendly, sometimes even sharing food (thanks for the dumplings) and fun stories! It makes the whole experience feel more like hanging out with friends than just grabbing a drink.“

“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 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.“

“Wonderful lunch, great service!“

“We were at Shogun today and had a great experience! The service was excellent — our waitress was very professional and kind. She even brought a strawberry as a little gift for our daughter, which was such a sweet gesture. The food was fresh and very tasty. They also have a full bar, and it’s kids-friendly, making it a great spot for families. Definitely recommend!“

“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.“

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

“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“
