    We were seated at the Tatami table. No shoes, but it was a fun experience. Good thing i was wearing my nice socks ‍
    Food C.

    Driving through Troy on our way, stopped by this lovely restaurant for food and glad we did. So worth it. Fresh food and good portion. They have a great selection of sake. Service was slow but good. We were seated by the window with the traditional table, shoes off, but it was fun! Definitely highly recommended.

    Mushy and doesn't seem fresh

    I ordered spicy tuna and spicy salmon rolls. The inside of each was complete mush and warm. It was more like a mashed potato consistency. Will not be ordering again.

    The sushi was very good. They have complex flavors combined with interesting sauces. I got two of the specialty rolls. The out of control was a nice spice level for those who enjoy spicier sushi. The Godzilla was very filling. It had a ton of different fish and was a huge size. Recommend for those who are hungry and don't often feel full with sushi. My only concern is the price. I paid 18.75 and 17.75 for the sushi which was quite expensive. Based on the previous menus posted on Yelp, it seems like the price is increasing even recently. I'm not sure if this is due to the pandemic or inflation but it's pricey even for sushi. However, the quality is better than other places I've tried in the area.

    Came here after visiting RPI! The waitress was so kind and gave us extra miso soup and boba! Sushi was beautifully plated, reasonably priced, and exactly what we needed for a quick lunch. I didn't expect a sushi restaurant to be so good in Troy, but I highly recommend this place!

    Not going to lie...my expectations were low in terms of finding a good sushi place in the Albany area (I am originally from Seattle which has amazing seafood)....Unagi definitely exceeded these expectations! The general atmosphere is pretty quiet (I would prefer some light music in the background), and the place is clean. Sashimi is surprisingly fresh and delicious--my favorite was the tuna and white tuna. Prices were also reasonable for a nice restaurant (not upscale but still date-worthy). I have tried other places for sushi and sashimi, and I will say Unagi is probably the best sashimi I have had in the area.

    Salmon Teriyaki, hand rolls, Salmon Skin Salad, Egg

    I love this place. My favorite is the salmon skin salad. So good. The dining room is small but the flavors are big! Yum. Good for takeout or dining in

    This place was an excellent place to get sushi! We ordered salmon, scallop, striped bass, mackerel, ikura, the salmon roll, spicy tuna roll, and the avocado eel roll. The fish was all decent to good quality, and the flavors were strong. But what really stood out to me about this restaurant was the technique in the sushi making. Rolls were tight with a thin layer of rice (big fan), seaweed was crisp, and there was impressive temperature control (the eel was still warm in the roll- as it should be!). Presentation was lovely, as was the atmosphere. Also, a big fan of the fact that sashimi is essentially half the price of sushi here. Will definitely be coming back.

    I visited this small gem of a place two weeks before they'll open up the dining room, post-COVID, so there were only two tables for dining in but we got one of them! They do a brisk take out business with the locals so that is a great stamp of approval. Miso soup was very good and the edamame was excellent. I wanted a sashimi salad so I got a green salad and sashimi appetizer which were excellent! Rolls and sushi were also on point. Highly recommended and a pleasant surprise from this smaller neighborhood Japanese restaurant.

    Great restaurant! -fast service -waiter and chefs are very lovely -sushi tastes great -gave us 2 extra miso soup and 1 extra bubble tea for our family

    Did they close?

    No. They just open,and have a new owner.

    Question for you guys that have been to Sushi Tei in Albany as well as Unagi- how does Unagi compare? Thanks in advance! ☺️

    They're both really good. I would give the edge to Unagi for creativity and their effort to bring in special ingredients. For example, they cure their own mackerel for saba. Unagi does a great job with rolls, but that's not really my thing. Sushi…

    Nice Asian restaurant with the hibachi option or table option to eat. We sat at a table for dinner…read morethis time, but heard the chefs yelling a lot at the hibachi tables as they cooked. They also do the birthday singing with a portable round drum. Kind of corny but the people liked it. Menu was large with a lot to offer. I ordered off the hibachi menu and was surprised at the amount of food they out on the plate. Taste was good for what we ate. I have four stars as the tables and chairs were a little worn and probably should be replaced. Waitress kept coming around and grabbing our plates as we finished, found it to be a little annoying as they would take the plates just as we finished them. At one point we told them to stop and leave us alone.

Five stars does not cover how great the food and performance Chef were. After the Chef set up the hibachi, the fun began! First he fried eggs for the Fried Rice. After he prepared the fried rice, he went to each table serving the steaming rice. Next he prepared a nice medley of vegetables. He served these as well. Before preparing the chicken, steak and shrimp, he entertained. He sang a little, smiled a lot, and used a toy pump gun to shoot Saki into the mouths of willing guests. It was well done and well received! Then he cooks the proteins. The large shrimp and steak were my favorites. Chef circulates offering the signature Japanese steakhouse condiment: Yum Yum Sauce known for its great flavor. Chef refills the pump gun with water and entertains young guests. We were clapping and cheering. He paid special attention to the guest of honor, the grad. (My grandson) very nice! Then Chef gives us a fire display and some juggling tricks. More laughing and cheering. Chef passed out take home containers if needed. Without me asking, Chef gave me the Yum Yum Sauce to take home. Lots of compliments to hosts on the quality of the food. The cost per person is substantial BUT worth every dollar. In fact, my SIL gave Chef a generous extra TIP to thank him. Check out a few photos to get a feel for the experience.

Sunday is my eat out day, and I picked up my aunt, drove to troy. Found d some street parking, went to the order kiosk and placed my order based on what I could eat and recommendations from the employee at the register. I chose, lunch combo with chicken and chicken teriyaki plate. May be, just the chicken was overcooked and a little fibery, besides that, it was very flavorful. I do have a couple more options to try, with me enjoying the food, definitely makes it an option for a revisit. If you live pork and beef, you definitely have more options. The restaurant was clean and well maintained.

    We ordered the following for takeout at the bespoke bowl:…read moreKorean Fried Chicken Wings- Moist wings were still crispy even after transferring them home in the containers. Spam Musubi - The spam had a nice savory flavor slightly salty went well with the rice. The seaweed had a slight fishy taste that was pleasant with the dish. Bulgogi Kimchi Burrito with beef (2 Burritos) We might eat this there next time it was falling apart in the container the wax paper was sticking to it. The flavor was really good though. Slight amount of spice nice vegetable crunch tasty marinated beef. Side of french fries were kind of tasty nothing special. Nashville Hot Chicken Sando Combo came with two sandwiches we asked for 1 mild and one regular. The first chicken sandwich was a little dry it might've been the mild flavor, it was all right. The medium chicken sandwich had a little bit more spice than the mild same so so flavor a little dry also. Spicy Pork Bowl with SPICY MAYO. This had a nice flavor, a little bit sweet and a good amount of spice. The sauce was sweeter than I like. We wanted to try a nice variety since we had never been there and have been wanting to try the place for a while. All in all we found the food to be pretty good, not sure if we would order any of these items again though since we felt nothing knocked our socks off. We would like to try the poke bowl next. If you are ordering for pick up be careful about where you order it. Make sure you go to bespoke bowl's website. Important sidenote when ordering takeout here: We ended up going through what we thought was their website and it was some third-party site that was selling this restaurants food and we ended up paying between 12 and $15 more for our order. I showed it to the staff when I picked it up because I had looked at their menu in the store and saw the price difference. The staff seemed confused/surprised.

I do not doubt that running a restaurant is stressful, but treating paying customers as if they are the enemy is self-sabotage.

The fish in the sushi was room temperature, warm even...last time I checked, sushi is supposed to be served cold?? YOU DO NOT FUCK UP RAW FISH. So that's what gave me a miserable 48 hours after thanks to their carelessness. Also the Wasabi was bright green?? Looked like play doh. They know what they are doing. Do not go there.

    The family came here for a special occasion on a Thursday night. Despite no reservations, we were…read moreseated quickly. The interior is very dark, perhaps "intimate", with tall booth walls. In the background on the TV was the Food Network. Our waitress was very polite and gave us time to order. I started with the Szechuan dumplings which turned out to be steamed dumplings in a spicy peanut saucy. They were very soft, almost to the point of mushy, and the meatball inside was chewy. I had never heard of them before and really enjoyed them, though I didn't find them spicy. My wife disagreed on that point, and didn't care for them. For my son, we ordered "chicken fingers". They were larger pieces of battered deep fried chicken (think sweet and sour chicken) and cooked so long as to be hard and greasy. He didn't want to eat them, and after one bit I completely agreed. They were terrible. Very little meat, very hard coating, very oily. Yuck. We threw nearly all of it away. My wife ordered sushi, and during the ordering process there was some confusion as to what fish came with it and whether there was an upcharge or not. She ended up with a standard sushi order and didn't enjoy it all that much. It might have been sitting around a bit too long. I ordered the General Tso chicken and was very disappointed. There was lots of chicken and it wasn't fried as hard as the chicken fingers, but I didn't like the sauce. It was loaded with minced ginger, shallots, and garlic which gave it a much different taste than anywhere else I have had this dish. As I looked at it more, it hit me... I have bought this bottled sauce before from the supermarket. I think it is "Iron Kitchen" brand, and I used to have some in my fridge (when I bought it, I discovered it didn't taste good either so it sat in my fridge for ages). Yangs didn't make their sauce from scratch, and it was gloopy and thick. he picture of this dish on the online menu doesn't match what you get. Do they always use this sauce? I dunno, but it was one of the worst versions I have ever eaten. After dropping off our food, the waitress disappeared and was clearly busy with other tables. She never checked on us to see how we were doing, and it took a while for someone else to refill our drinks. They did a tremendous amount of takeout while we were there. All in all, it was a very disappointing meal. We won't be back.

The dine-in area was empty during my visit, but the restaurant was clearly busy with takeout orders--people were regularly coming in to place or pick up food. Having the dining room to myself, I found the staff to be very attentive and quick to take my order. I chose the sashimi lunch special, which came with miso soup, a house salad, and hot tea. I also added an order of edamame. The edamame was freshly steamed and served in the bamboo basket it was cooked in. It was hot, lightly salted, and a perfect way to start the meal. The salad was a simple iceberg mix with dressing. Unfortunately, the dressing didn't have much flavor, so it felt a bit underwhelming. The miso soup was standard--hot, with small pieces of tofu, and just what I expected. The sashimi was nicely sliced, though I found it a bit lacking in flavor on its own. I added soy sauce and wasabi, which helped enhance the experience. I did appreciate the attention to detail with the octopus sashimi--each slice was separated by a thin piece of lemon, which added a subtle citrus note that worked well.
