Sushi in Gloversville? …read more.. Sushi in Gloversville!! My long hunt for a great lunch spot in this area has finally yielded a fantastic find! On a snowy day, I decided to go out to lunch and try this little Japanese spot in a small town near my job. It was nice to find the place about half full for lunch. It is a small place, about 12 tables, but it was nice inside. I sat near the sushi bar. I was a little skeptical of the sushi, even though I had already heard good reviews. Once I entered and saw some rolls coming out, I decided to go for it. The sushi chef was focused and hard working the entire 45 minutes I dined here, and everything was looking pretty good. I ordered the Sashimi Lunch Box ($12.95). This came with a starter soup and salad, 6 pieces of sashimi, a California roll, 3 gyoza, and white rice. Everything was fresh, well done, flavorful. My soup could have been hotter, but I ate it right up anyways. It was all good - and a great deal. I was so pleasantly surprised by this place. It's not the best sushi I have had, but It's the best lunch place I've tried between Gloversville and Johnstown by a long shot. I will no doubt return here for another lunch! Maybe some hibatchi or special rolls next time! All the lunch prices are great. I'm so happy I found this place.

The staff remember me, even after being gone for years, it's incredibly welcoming and an amazing feeling. The inside of the restaurant is really nice, and it's never too loud. I highly recommend checking this place out if you're in the area!!! Already can't wait for my next visit!!

I received a free kani salad, a free mixed green salad and a free clear soup. This makes great value for money! I enjoyed all the items that I ordered except for the hibachi. I would order everything else I ordered again. Unfortunately, the hibachi was sitting in a very watery sauce. The texture of course was watery, and this rendered the flavor almost flavorless. This is a real shame considering the price tag of this item. Though I will never order this item again I would happily order all of the other items that I ordered again. I chose to do takeout, but of course they have a dine in section, though it is a bit small. It does also suffer from looking a little rundown on the inside and the outside. I think a remodel would go a long way to stimulating more business. I would definitely come to this place again when in town.

There's a parking lot and some gorgeous decor inside. The restrooms are sparkling clean. The service is top-notch and the staff is happy to answer any questions about allergies. And the food... yummy. My party of 6 enjoyed pork, duck, and beef. We passed each others plates in a circle and sampled everything. I was a big fan of the salmon at Van's and almost went with that at Saigon but was convinced to try something different so I went with the pork. I'm not usually a pork fan but I've had Vietnamese pork before and enjoyed it. The pork here was perfection. There are so many dining options in Clifton park but if you have the opportunity to check out Saigon Spring, you absolutely should

I enjoyed my usual small bowl of Shrimp and Pork Wonton Soup ($8.00) with tender dumplings, egg noodles, scallions, cilantro, and crispy shallots in a flavorful broth. Best ever. Upon my recommendation, we both ordered the Shaking Beef, or Bò Lúc Lắc, ($25.) which is a delicious Vietnamese dish of marbled cubes of beef tossed in all the good stuff: soy sauce, oyster sauce, fish sauce, a little sugar, butter, garlic, and black pepper. Everything is shaken around in the wok to get a nice all-around sear, hence the name...Shaking Beef! We enjoyed it with Brown Rice instead of Jasmine. Kudos: The cubed filet mignon was cooked perfectly; it was tender and pink in middle. Outstanding! Two reactions: --I did not like the lime dipping sauce because it was very salty (grains of Sea Salt intact)served in a small dish that was on the plate, so next time I will order another type of sauce. However, the beef was flavorful without it. --There were too many sliced red onions and not enough spring onions. Our two orders to go (Pho with Filet and Chicken Wings) were ready when we finished lunch. Grandsons were delighted! Service was efficient and courteous as usual.

They're very friendly here, and the complimentary mini spring rolls at the start of your meal, and the orange slices at the end were both nice touches. Everything we ordered was delicious and came out quickly. We had a combination of regular and specialty rolls, plus appetizers. But folks at the tables around us had other equally-delicious-looking entrees. And if you're coming here during busy hours, the "batcave" entrance, i.e, off Albany St., is a time-saver. Just be sure you plan ahead, because with only 7 tables and a lot of take-out orders, it can probably get busy.

The lady who's usually at the front of house is always friendly, pleasant, and efficient, but what's even more impressive is the food. With the acknowledgement that not everything on the menu is tops, I know that they can certainly deep fry and stir fry, their complimentary hot spring rolls are always piping hot and delicious, and the stir fry noodles are always beckoning me. The dining room is cozy but comfy and homey, and although they seem to get a majority of orders for pickup, we've always enjoyed dining in. I hope they keep improving and stay open for many more years.
