This place was delicious, we kind of went here unplanned. They had a good variety of sushi rolls. My husband got a maki combo and he loved all three of his rolls. I got a shrimp tempura roll and a roll called the "whatever". I'll be honest I don't remember everything in it but it did have crab. They had fun serving the food.
I do takeout from Tengu often. It's one of my go to places. The food is always well made. And delivery is often very quick. Recently I ordered to my office on a Friday. The wonton soup wontons were not my favorite. They had a thickness to them that was not my favorite. But, the broth was wonderful. Their sushi rolls are always delicious.
While visiting the area for work, I ordered sushi from Tengu Asian Bistro. I found the restaurant had a wonderful atmosphere, friendly staff, and the sushi was not only well presented, but was also excellent. My recommendation: the cooked Eel Avacado Roll.
Well developed flavors but their delivery service leaves a bit to be desired. I asked for utensils - got a single plastic fork in bottom of the bag. No sauce for my fried rice and my sauce for dumplings spilled inside container. You guys could be a 5! Step up your delivery game!
Just tried today, Lychee Martini was good, Sushi Sandwich was good, the Sushi Selection was good. Sushi Nachos were good but I dunno, a Pringle like Chip just maybe isnt what I'd use. Maybe something more like a Wonton Chip.. Service was okay, but then again ordered a lot of Sushi so I understand it takes longer. The location is good if you're near the Mall or you want to visit the Asian Market next store over
Tengu Asian Bistro - Take Out (4.5/5) After trying numerous different sushi spots in the Capital Region, Tengu Sushi has become my go to sushi spot. If you are looking for some really good sushi for a reasonable price at lunch time, Tengu Asian Bistro is definitely a place to check out. I go to Tengu Asian Bistro pretty frequently for their 3 roll lunch combo. This past time I ordered a shrimp tempura roll, spicy tuna roll, and a Philadelphia roll. The Philadelphia roll here is probably one of my favorite versions of the roll. I've ordered sushi from many places and this still holds up as either my number 1 or number 2. The spicy tuna roll again is excellent with great flavor and a good amount of crunch from the tempura flakes. The Shrimp tempura is another roll I always struggle to not order since it is quite good. I've also ordered the spicy salmon and eel avocado rolls here before among others, and they are all really great. The 3 roll lunch combo comes with your choice of either a side salad or miso soup. I prefer the salad which has an awesome dressing that comes with it, but the miso soup is also very good. Overall, I would highly recommend trying Tengu Asian Bistro if you are a fan of sushi and are looking for something to eat for lunch!
I've been here probably 3-4 times in the span of 2 months (and more before that) and that's a lot for me consider I like to try new places. I've tried quite a few things on the menu and nothing has really disappointed me so far. Duck roll (1) - they cut that one roll into 4 1" pieces, so it isn't a lot of food. I absolutely love it though. There's a good amount duck in there, it's crispy and it's one of my boyfriend's favorite things there. Sushi pizza - this is one of my favorite things here. The base is paratha and honestly, I've never had it outside of this dish... but it's deliciously chewy and warm. The toppings - unagi sauce, spicy mayo, seaweed salad - make it super savory and are balanced out by the avocado, fish and paratha. 10/10 worth it. Fried jalapeno - I probably wouldn't get this again. It wasn't bad but there is better stuff in my opinion. Volcano roll - basically deep fried sushi. if youre afraid of raw fish, this might be a good way to go. Personally I didnt like it as much because the spicy tuna was cooked in the process. Salmon don - usually pretty fresh and a good amount of salmon. Ill get it if I'm craving salmon specific... which is a lot. Poke bowl - I havent tried this, but my friends say it's a good deal - the bowl is pretty gigantic. Personally, I rather just go to an actual build your own poke place if if I wanted a bowl. This is my personal go to sushi place when dropping by Albany. Its well priced with good portion sizes, fresh, and delicious!
