16 Best Japanese Restaurants near Scotia

“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“

“Will be back! Amazing!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“
