“We had a joyous birthday celebration at my son’s favorite restaurant. Akanomi’s staff and sushi chefs, itamae, excelled at all endeavors. Vivan was spot on with her suggestions and service. She anticipated all of our needs, especially with our children. The chicken soba soup, tuna carpaccio and Hawaii Rolls were our favorites. Then the sashimi / sushi mixed roll party docked. It was stunning in presentation, offerings and taste. Oh my, it was very impressive. A most wonderful time was had by all.“

“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!“

“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.“

“So the sushi was really excellent. We got two different specialty rolls. You could tell the sushi was really fresh. We got delivery through Uber eats and everything was fresh just not hot because the Uber eats driver didn’t use a hot bag. The rock shrimp is not what you’d expect.. it was really tempura shrimp that was soggy.. I’d never get that again. The fried rice was great because healthy not greasy . Our son got the salmon sashimi and loved it. The soup was good but also done differently. I’d like to eat in because I feel like the sushi itself is worth it and would like to try the hibachi“

“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!“

“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.“

“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“

“It was nice. Love the food! I like the set up inside the store. Perfect for a couple celebrating anniversaries who love sushi date.“

“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!“

“Will be back! Amazing!“
