I like Momiji for its hours, as it stays open from morning until evening close instead of shutting down for three hours in the afternoon. Their sushi isn't bad, especially on Mondays when they have specials on rolls. Service is somewhat spotty and slowish and there seems to be staff turnover which, while not uncommon in food service, causes the trainee staff to know little or nothing about the menu and I'm not sure what motivates them. Location is meh, on the edge of a strip mall parking lot. Good free parking most days and times.

Shared the maguro Sashimi plate as an appetizer and the maguro (tuna) was just the right consistency and fresh. Husband had some exotic rolls and was happy. The tempura was perfect - fluffy with just enough coating.Daughter was happy with her tempura udon.The server was a little harried, although efficient. Service would be better if there was a bus boy or another waiter.Very unusual that a restaurant does both cooked food and sushi well but Ginza pulls it off. I didn't expect good Japanese food in a non descript strip mall in Albany!And prices were very fair - excellent value. I would definitely come back here again.

I believe they are having hiring issues because they are sometimes not open during business hours, and there's more than one Help Wanted sign.When you can get food, the portions and flavors are good. The gyoza doesn't taste homemade, but they are cooked well. The udon is good, but a bit watery when not served in soup. For Albany cuisine, these are minor issues. I return if they're open.

4. Kaiyo Sushi
Reviewed By Honey_and_Bunny
We have visited a few times now and we consistently get fresh sushi (the sake is a favorite of mine), delicious chicken yakisoba (my 5 year old's favorite), a large variety of options, and fantastic service. The sushi chefs here are much more skilled than other conveyor belt sushi restaurants that we have frequented and it has now become our favorite quick meal go-to.

We have been stopping in here semi regularly for dinner for a year or so. This is an unassuming space with lots of space and few patrons at night. We always get the teriyaki chicken. It is an enormous portion of tasty chicken. There is always an enormous dollop of white rice on the plate but we dont do white rice. The food is cooked to order so it takes a little while to come out. It is hot and fresh.Tip- call in your order about 15 minutes before arrival!Ask for a box for your left overs because there is an awful lot of food!
