Japanese and Korean restaurants often take reservations for dinner and may add a service charge for large groups; Thai and Vietnamese spots are usually walk-in and quick-turnover. Spice levels are frequently adjustable on request at Thai, Indian and Sichuan-adjacent menus, so say if you want it mild or hot.

Vietnamese pho shops post bowl sizes (regular or large) and a plate of herbs, bean sprouts and lime is normal to add yourself. Card and tap-to-pay are widely accepted; cash-only is more common at small family-run counters.

Schenectady is in New York, in the Northeast, where four distinct seasons shape local life: hot humid summers, snowy winters that can close businesses for a day, and a dense pattern of towns where walking, transit and street parking all matter. Getting around Schenectady is easiest by car; street parking is metered in busy downtown areas, and most suburban businesses have their own lot. Ride-share apps such as Uber and Lyft operate across New York's larger cities, and public transit varies from extensive to minimal.

One of the original Japanese restaurants in the Capital District. The original owners, Mari and her husband have retired and it has been taken over by new owners who have maintained the quality of their food. The main waitstaff, Bristley (?) is the best.

I tried this place for lunch for the first time and it wasn’t much to look at from the outside and was okay on the inside. The service was very good the woman who helped me out was friendly. But the food was just not even close to good. I got three rolls (spicy salmon, spicy tuna, and the fire roll) $27 total and was not worth a single penny. I had to force myself to eat it since I had already paid and had nothing else to eat. I will not be going here again. I’ve had a lot of sushi and it is my favorite thing to eat and this was worse than grocery store sushi.

Not very pleased. 2nd time trying this place because my wife wanted me to try it. I guess there’s a nostalgic connection with the history of the place and the name that has kept them open this long but to my understanding it’s not the same. All that aside, I don’t mind paying for good food. The food wasn’t bad but it wasn’t exceptional considering I just ate at Neon sushi the night before and had the exact same 2 rolls. Night and day!! Where’s the fish?! The rolls were not only tiny, they had a sliver of tuna and salmon. Half the size of the one’s at Neon for more money! Come on.. money is not what it used to be and you need to stay competitive. I was so disappointed. This place is a very cute bistro type environment. Good vibe but not worth it. I hope they go to their competitors and shop around so they can improve. Unfortunately, I’ll never find out.

Pork katsu lunch box is not bad. Sushi sashimi box and seafood tempura box are disappointing. Portion is small. Seafood tempura has several pieces of vegetable tempura.

A cute little place with very good quality food. The tempura was crisp and delicious with fresh seasonal ingredients. My only criticism is that there were very limited drink and dessert options (there was no tea and only basic ice cream and mousse were available for dessert)
