Momiji Sushi - Albany

When he finally took our order, he appeared disinterested and did not inquire about our drink preferences. I had to ask for a hot tea, as I usually do. The server gave me a white towel to clean up the spill on the table, and I also accidentally spilled soy sauce, which I cleaned up with the same cloth. I was frustrated with the poor service and contemplated leaving, but my grandson suggested that perhaps the server was having a bad day. I decided to stay, finished my meal, and left a generous tip to show that I harbored no hard feelings. However, if this level of service continues, this restaurant will not be my top choice for dining in the future.

I ordered an eel roll, miso soup, cucumber salad, California roll, and calamari at this restaurant. The rolls were well-prepared and nicely decorated, with a fresh taste, although the topping sauce was a bit salty. The miso soup and cucumber salad were small side dishes that were reflective of their low price. Unfortunately, the calamari was disappointing as it had a rubbery texture and was served in a small portion for $9. I have included photos of everything except for the rolls, as they slipped from the seat of my car on the way home and were not presented in their original condition.

I decided to give this restaurant another chance after our usual sushi place closed. Once again, the food was bland and unappetizing. The Tiger roll looked like it was made by someone inexperienced in making sushi, and the color of the spicy tuna was so unappealing that we considered sending it back. I suspect they use canned tuna in their spicy tuna mix, as it had a strange taste and color. We won't be returning.

I had an amazing experience at this restaurant. The sushi was fantastic, especially the Salem roll, California roll with crunch, shrimp tempura roll, and cucumber tuna roll. Each piece was made with excellent fresh fish and expertly prepared. The goyza and miso soup were perfect for warming up on a cold day. It was a special treat for my daughter's birthday. I highly recommend this place and the friendly staff who work here.

This restaurant serves the best Japanese food in the area. They offer a variety of fresh and delicious dishes, from classic bento boxes to spicy poke bowls, as well as traditional and specialty sushi rolls. A must-try is the Salem Roll, it is a tasty delight.
