Akira Albany (Glenmont Location)

Good restaurant. The food came quickly and your entree comes with soup and salad which was really good. Fair prices and decent sized portions.

Four of us to celebrate my daughter's birthday. We were able to set in a little room all to ourselves (great for social distancing) They are always attentive to their patrons needs and did not disappoint. The food was outstanding as usual. We all ordered different sushi for appetizers and they always give generous entree portions. Doggie bags to go. I had brought in a birthday cake and they generously took care of that, brought the serving essentials, lit the candles and played an upbeat "Happy Birthday" song through the sound system. A great birthday luncheon!

Very pleasant experience. The food was tasty and served very quickly. Great decor!

Such a great place to visit. Great for groups and families. It's like a show when the chefs cook. Great atmosphere and pricing. Food was delicious!

Beautiful restaurant, very good service, and delicious food. My tempura udon bowl was bigger than my head! I would have been happier with a smaller bowl, actually! The tea was very good, and their sake menu was detailed.

We haven't eaten inside here, in over a year. I think some new staff/management. They did a fantastic job. Everything was super fresh. The little salads actually had mixed greens with the iceberg which a health nut appreciates lol. Portions were huge as ever and lots of left overs. My mojito was delicious. Service and chef all very nice. Repeated some of the hibachi tricks for the kids. Lots of Covid precautions which was comforting. Enjoy

Very lovely place, reasonable prices, and delicious food

Food was all delicious and quickly served. Our server was extremely kind and attentive.

Best sushi in the Albany area, AND they make it with brown rice on request. The King Roll in particular was nothing short of amazing. We usually go there for their hibachi, which is excellent, but now that I know about the sushi, I’ll guess I’ll have to splurge on both from now on!

Went there for the first time with a group for a birthday great food definitely a return visit for sure

Only a few minutes away from Albany, you enter into a Japanese authentic environment. Very clean, nicely outfitted. Food of course was top notch. From their great attention to detail with their sushi to their traditional hibachi plates. Very fresh tasting food. Will go again for sure.

My favorite! Excellent and they know my order perfectly!

We love the hibachi!!! Omg their steak hibachi is on point juicy and so tasteful!!!

Service was fast. The place wasn't overcrowded. They play peaceful music in the bathroom. They have a full bar. The sushi and sashimi for two could feed three to four people. The dinner presentation looked like a work of art. We also had the akira tuna tartare. Everything was delicious. The price is very reasonable for the amount of food you receive.

It was just delicious! The entertainment the chef's give while they cook right there at your table are something to see. If i could I'd eat here everyday!

excellent food! i got the garlic creamy udon with seafood- only $29.95 and humongous portions. the atmosphere is very comfortable and the wait staff is very patient. highly recommend!!

This is a great place! I will definitely be going again.

The service was very friendly and the food was delicious. I had the teriyaki chicken while the rest of my party had the sushi, everyone loved their meal.

We sat at a table, not the hibachi so can't say much about it. I will say that the people who were at the habachi sounded like they were having a great time with their chef. Made me a little jealous 😂

So delicious and so friendly. I feel so blessed to live within delivery distance of this fine establishment.
Edit: every time I order from this place they somehow make the food even more special and delicious. I don’t understand how they can do this. It’s magic.

If you are looking for quality sushi, a nice hibachi experience, a full bento box or somewhere where they will accommodate a party of 16/20; look no further. Not a single bad review from the party everyone enjoyed their lunch. We had a range from bento box, to sushi, to hibachi shrimp, hibachi salmon, hibachi steak, hibachi chicken and hibachi scallops- everyone was very satisfied. Everyone’s meal was provided within seconds of each other, drinks were properly refilled as waitstaff was very attentive. This is our go to work spot now.

Went to the hibachi table on a Thursday evening and had the whole room to ourselves. Service and food was excellent.
