They told us that they ran out completely even though we got there right at dinner service (6pm). They told us approximately at 6:20 pm, and their dinner service ends at 9. After asking for a manager, the manager said they didn't actually run out but is putting a limit on us because they want to make sure they have enough to feed the rest of the restaurant till the end of the night. Even though we had only ordered 2 plates of salmon sashimi. AND THEN they had the audacity to offer 10% off. They also kept making excuses as to why they can't serve us sashimi. They mentioned that we should've called in a reservation ahead of time so they would have enough stock. It seemed that they kept pushing responsibility on us, the customers. As an AYCE sushi restaurant, I couldn't understand how they could limit their most popular option to paying customers. On top of that sushi was not fresh, the tuna was two different colors, the masago was slimy, the fish was warm. The servers were nice and service was fast, but food quality and management was pretty poor with the way they handled everything.

We had 2 bento boxes- they were good but it was a little disappointing that they arrived after the other 2 people had finished their sushi. We tried crab puffs (aka Rangoon) & gyoza - both were good flavor. We shared a pizza roll & butterfly roll - both were really great! In fact, the pizza roll was one of the best sushi rolls I have ever had. It was like poke in a triangle and I LOVE poke. The place is really nice, cozy & authentic. The staff is polite but we had to wait so long for half of our party - so 5 stars for food & place but lost point on service but can't give 4.5 on yelp so I gave 5.

Service has been quick and my food was ready within 20 minutes (If not less) of ordering. I have found my new go to sushi place, and look forward to trying more of their sushi and other offerings.

The sushi was fresh, the seafood was delicious, and I loved having so many different options to choose from. Everything was well stocked, and the restaurant was clean and inviting. The staff was friendly and attentive, making sure our table was cleared and drinks were refilled throughout the meal. Even though it can get busy, the service never felt rushed. If you're looking for a place with great variety, fresh food, and a fun all-you-can-eat experience, I definitely recommend UMI. I'll absolutely be coming back again the next time I'm in Albany!

There's great ambiance in the booths and tables, to sit in the corner for privacy, room for groups, a welcoming bar, and even a few nice tables out front (albeit in the parking lot, but still more than most places can say). The cocktails also aren't bad and the Thai food is great. Sushi has been enjoyable too. Last night we did pick up, and the pad see u was saucy and delicious and ready in 15 min. Special shout out for the mango sticky rice - mango was *actually* ripe. Which is exciting if you're frequently let down by under ripe mangos.

My friend has been a friend of Samurai's owner Jerry for years and I have enjoyed so many meals here. Tonight Joel brought a tin of caviar and we told Jerry to give us his best, and damn sure he did. The evening was flowing of sake, caviar bumps and delicious bites. The first bite of the tempura nori, uni and caviar sent me out of the galaxy. All our eyes rolled back in unison when we tasted that delightful bite and we knew it was just the beginning. The A5 Wagyu tartar was so good I nearly had a tear fall from my face. My taste buds were on a roller coaster with the luxurious fat and umami flavors dancing on my tongue. The fried yellow tail and young yellowtail collars were so rich and unctuous. We didn't even know what to do when the sushi boat arrived. Some pieces were adorned with the caviar, prized toro and Wagyu nigiri. The rolls were indulgent. All served with FRESH grated wasabi, which is how you know you got it good, no dry horseradish paste to be found for this meal. None of this is on the menu, but it you ask, Jerry will treat you to a fine dining omakase experience. I highly recommend checking out all they have to offer at Samurai! Keep your eyes peeled because I think specialty omakase experiences are coming soon!

The cleanliness of the sushi cases was not top notch on the enterior and the end of the bar was covered in equipment and linens.

They're very friendly here, and the complimentary mini spring rolls at the start of your meal, and the orange slices at the end were both nice touches. Everything we ordered was delicious and came out quickly. We had a combination of regular and specialty rolls, plus appetizers. But folks at the tables around us had other equally-delicious-looking entrees. And if you're coming here during busy hours, the "batcave" entrance, i.e, off Albany St., is a time-saver. Just be sure you plan ahead, because with only 7 tables and a lot of take-out orders, it can probably get busy.

The dining room is cozy but comfy and homey, and although they seem to get a majority of orders for pickup, we've always enjoyed dining in. I hope they keep improving and stay open for many more years.
