20 Best Japanese Restaurants near Rensselaer

“Great food and service!!!“

“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.“

“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“

“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!“

“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 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.“

“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.“

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

“Okay so I didn’t go to the restaurant but I ordered the appetizer sampler and ramen online. It came in a cute package 🥰 and the food was great! I absolutely loved the sampler idea and the sauces were amazing. I haven’t dug into the ramen yet because I’m already full but I’m sure it is yummy. I will definitely have to try this place in person. Thank you!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Arigato this place was good“

“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“

“Sapporo beer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!“

“Best sushi I've ever had!“

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

“Obsessed with the poke bowls. I live in Schenectady and thought the only good poke place was in Albany. Once I discovered this place, I didn’t look back. They’re so good, I crave them and galleria 7 is the best spot. All sorts of food options for those who don't like poke bowls.“

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