They have a decent bar/drinks menu (love the Plum Kiss cocktail w/sake), great service and delicious food. The specialty rolls are particularly good here and offer some options beyond the usual suspects. We're big fans of the Pink Lady Roll, Little Lobster Roll, Giuliana Roll, Autumn Roll and the Christmas Roll. We haven't been disappointed yet!" -- Sandy P.

• Top review: "The sushi was very good at Mr. Fuji. We settled on the 'Boat for Two' because the individual roll price was a bit higher than most sushi restaurants. This meal came with a good amount of food. Came with two soups and two salads, which we upgraded to kani salad. The kani salad was very good. Sushi and sashimi was fresh and in a good variety. We would go back! Environment was clean, quiet, and well staffed." -- Payton G.

6. Shogun

• Rated 4.1 out of 5 (191 reviews)
• Price: $$
• Address: 457 Madison Avenue, Albany
• Top review: "I was losing hope that I would find good sushi in the Albany area after Kuma Ani stopped serving sushi. We tried SO many mediocre places. Then we found Shogun. We ordered take out. Two rolls, agedashi tofu appetizer and salmon sashimi. It was SO yummy. I consider myself a snobby sushi eater, a former New Yorker who had several good sushi places to choose from. This was really fresh sushi. Well balanced flavorful rolls. I'm looking forward to eating in the restaurant to get the full experience." -- Robin F.

5. Tengu Asian Bistro

You can view the menu on the Tengu Asian Bistro website.

• Rated 4.2 out of 5 (132 reviews)
• Price: $$
• Address: 1343 Central Avenue, Albany
• Top review: "After trying numerous different sushi spots in the Capital Region, Tengu Sushi has become my go to sushi spot. If you are looking for some really good sushi for a reasonable price at lunch time, Tengu Asian Bistro is definitely a place to check out. I go to Tengu Asian Bistro pretty frequently for their three roll lunch combo. This past time I ordered a shrimp tempura roll, spicy tuna roll, and a Philadelphia roll. The Philadelphia roll here is probably one of my favorite versions of the roll. I've ordered sushi from many places and this still holds up as either my number 1 or number 2. The spicy tuna roll again is excellent with great flavor and a good amount of crunch from the tempura flakes. The shrimp tempura is another roll I always struggle to not order since it is quite good. I've also ordered the spicy salmon and eel avocado rolls here before among others, and they are all really great. The three roll lunch combo comes with your choice of either a side salad or miso soup. I prefer the salad which has an awesome dressing that comes with it, but the miso soup is also very good. Overall, I would highly recommend trying Tengu Asian Bistro if you are a fan of sushi and are looking for something to eat for lunch!" -- Nick S.

3. Unagi Sushi

You can view the menu on the Unagi Sushi website.

• Rated 4.4 out of 5 (124 reviews)
• Price: $$
• Address: 118 4th Street, Troy
• Top review: "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." -- Zach R.

2. Akanomi

You can view the menu on the Akanomi website.

• Rated 4.8 out of 5 (183 reviews)
• Price: $$
• Address: 1800 Western Avenue, Albany
• Top review: "My husband and I came here after a long day of hiking and it was a great choice. We shared: Akanomi Roll, Amazing Tuna Roll, Hawaii Roll, Snow White Roll, Carman Roll. It really hit the spot. My two favorite rolls were the Akanomi Roll and the Carman Roll. The rolls were very big which I appreciated. If you're in the area looking for sushi, I'd recommend stopping by!" -- Jacqueline T.

1. Wasabi

You can view the menu on the Wasabi website.

• Rated 4.3 out of 5 (89 reviews)
• Price: $$
• Address: 195 Wolf Road, Albany
• Top review: "Warning: you have to order all you can eat! but that easily becomes worth it even if you just order a few specialty rolls. Also important to know is that you're charged for each piece you don't eat so plan accordingly! You can also always order more but it takes 10-15 min each time you do. Overall, good food. Of course the all you can eat aspect means you compromise on the quality of the sushi a bit. This is not a prime high end sushi restaurant but it is a place you can get tasty options for pretty cheap comparatively. They also have good noodle options and Japanese chicken/BBQ meat skewers. Definitely something for everyone and a decent place to go on a full stomach!" -- Zach R.
