A new sushi restaurant has opened in Malta at 2452 Route 9.
Briana Lin opened Azuma Sushi Bistro in February. Lin, her family and business partners also own and operate Kobe Hibachi, Yang’s Asian Bistro and T-Swirl Japanese Crepe, all in Latham.
“My family has been in the restaurant business for over 30 years,” said Lin. “My other businesses have done very well and my friends kept telling me I should open a sushi restaurant in the Malta area because there was nothing like it around.”
The menu features Asian Fusion sushi as well as Chinese, Thai and Japanese fare.
Lin referenced Malta’s growing economy as a focal point of location choice, and the opportunity for a different type of restaurant in the area.
“There is no other restaurant like us around here,” she said.
Along with a dine-in menu, the restaurant offers take-out, catering services, and online ordering and meal delivery through www.mealeocom.
“We will have a patio opening up in the spring, where people can sit outside and eat their meal in the nice weather,” said Lin.
Operating hours for Azuma Sushi Bistro are 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday; 11 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday; and noon to 9:30 p.m. on Sunday. Ample parking is available.
Azuma Sushi Bistro can be reached at 518-663-6888. Its website is www.azumasushimalta.com.
