I got a one of the roll combos and it was good, was exactly what I was hoping for. I was there just as they opened so it was quiet. Interior is a little dated and worn and it was clean the most important part of that equation. Prices were on point. Over all I was very happy with my meal and the experience. I wanted a quick good lunch for a fair price and that's exactly what I got.

Excellent restaurant. A little out-of-the-way for the Albany crowd but well worth it. Easy parking. Handicap accessible. Very clean. Nicely laid out. Beautiful bar. Very large portions. Food was delicious. Real linens is a beautiful touch. Staff very accommodating to children. Very thoughtful on children portions. Delicious dessert. Large variety of foods. Look forward to going back.

I've visited this restaurant on many separate occasions since its opened and it's by far one of my favorite Asian food restaurants in the area. I don't get to go often since I live in MD, but whenever I'm up here to visit my boyfriend I always make sure to come here. The place is new but the food is delicious. The staff here that is composed of a wonderful family are very kind, amiable, and cordial every time we come to eat. The decor is classy and it has a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Sushi is my favorite food and I love the sushi they serve here - fresh and full if delightful flavor. Their cooked entrees however are just as excellent, and the portions and prices are very fair. I'm also a colossal fan of their sake; I have it every time I go there. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for good sushi or Asian inspired food along with wonderful service.

I had the shrimp hibachi bento box but substitute the California roll for a shrimp tempura roll for a slight upcharge. My husband got the hibachi chicken bento box with a tempura chicken roll. Everything was DELICIOUS!!!! The service was great, the restaurant is very welcoming. We will be back.

We have eaten at Niji several times. Never dissatisfied. We went on Valentine's Day. They were very busy but happily seated us. The food took awhile but was delicious! Again a great meal.

Service here was incredible, the food was amazing, and I very much enjoyed my experience here. The staff were very attentive and friendly, and sid everything perfectly. All the food was good, but portion sizes are quite large. Prices were very good for how much you get, and there were plenty of veggies!

First time coming here. We were literally driving down the road and swerved in and SO glad I did. This place is awesome. Food was great, everyone was super friendly and the price was on point. Normally for the quality of food we got the price would be x3 for the amount we paid.
