Tuna III

There’s a good reason I come here at least once a week… fresh, delicious sushi and other mouth watering Japanese dishes. Courteous waitstaff, wonderfully artistic and talented sushi chef Fong, and extremely knowledgeable, friendly and funny proprietor Wilson all make for a fantastic dining experience every time!

Excellent Asian food with specials from China, Japan, and Vietnam. Warm, friendly ambiance with owner making sure that everyone gets what they want.

Tasty sushi — I ordered the sweet potato roll and Philadelphia roll — and miso soup. Really cute, Japanese interior. Great service and great prices!

What a treat! We had the world’s best shrimp tempura here. Highly recommend. Was very surprised by how good the food was!

Nice Place. Food is nice.

I ate lunch there recently on a cold rainy spring day.
What a surprise to find this kind of restaurant in a little college town.
I had a salmon teriyaki lunch tray and it was delicious and reasonably priced.
Owner, was very nice as well.

I have been to Tuna 3 on countless occasions since they first opened in Delhi. Each time I thoroughly enjoy myself. The atmosphere is lovely, and the food is divine. I order the seaweed salad instead of the house salad every time I’m there — it’s delicious. The miso soup is also perfectly flavored, not watered down like I have had at other sushi places.
Tuna 3 definitely adds a nice variety to Delhi, where there isn’t much to eat except for pizza or fast food.
A few of the waitresses that have worked here in the past have been a little rude and short with me, but the owner is such a sweetheart. A very nice, kind, caring man who is such a pleasure to speak with. He will go to any lengths to make sure you are happy and satisfied with your dining experience.
Tuna 3 has been a strong presence in Delhi since it opened, and I look forward to eating there many more times in the future.

Good food, but the portions need to be much bigger. If i’m paying 14 dollars for a roll it should be at least 3x that size. I can get huge rolls in Florida for 8 dollars that dwarf the ones in tuna 3s
The menus have been crossed out with marker way too many times to change prices. It takes literally 5 minutes to print up a new menu. It looks really tacky. They also need to clean up the place a bit. Pretty dusty

Atmosphere/​cleanliness ⁶⁄₁₀
Also they are charging extra on top of what your normal bill is to make up for rising food costs. Not cool at all.
Just a few small complaints. Not a bad place to eat. I stop for dinner alot when I’m in town

Dear Rockgin J from Brooklyn:
Thank you for your forthfront review which is very important to me. I am sorry that you found our food less than desirable/​satisfaction. Unfortunately I cannot recall who and/​or your companies were and so cannot find out what you ate. Otherwise, I will discuss your order with our chefs to see if there is anything wrong with the dishes that you ordered.
In terms of micro-​managing the staff — well, the staff is new, very new — so new that she wasn’t fully trained to work alone yet. But unfortunately due to some other staff problem, I have no choice but to put her to work despite the fact that she is not ready. She, at that time, still had a full menu to digest, the service flow to understand, and task priorities to learn. so it’s really not what you perceived. Rather than having to deal with wrong orders, missing items and etc., so yes, I had no choice but to do what you called «micro-​manage» for the time being until the server is ready. I would too, rather that it didn’t have to be this way — trust me.
Anyway, I do appreciate you taking the time to write the review.

Tuna III continues to delight with new dishes for both lunch and dinner. New rice-​less rolls for lunch for the carb conscious are offered in conjunction with the local gym. For dinner the choices are all so good it’s hard to choose. The owner, Wilson Li, is personable and welcoming, even to patrons arriving just before closing. For the adventurous, ask Wilson for suggestions off the menu. Even the salad is exceptional because the house ginger dressing is made fresh, and for $ 7.00 you can take a bottle of it home.

I guess all things are relative which makes the 4 and 5 star reviews for this place understandable. It’s the only «sushi» game in town or for many miles and you can’t really compare it to the coffee shops, Pizzahut, Chinese food or Micky D’s in Delhi. I wouldn’t say that the quality was great nor the service. Though, it is interesting/​entertaining (if not painful) to see the owner micro-​manage the waitstaff. If you’re addicted to «Japanese» food and stranded in Delhi, this is your saving grace. I went here once when I first moved to the area, and once was enough.
And by all means… DO NOT… ask what happened to «Tuna II» or «Tuna I». I heard that they were buried out back. (Yes, that was my attempt at tuna humor).

Impressed! For a small town and for whatever. I was in town for a 3 day workshop and I was so sad by the options-​pizza, pasta, and diner food. As a palate that is used to the variety of NYC and wheat and nut allergic, I really didn’t feel I could eat anywhere and enjoy it. But then I found Tuna III. I lucked out! I walked in and sat down and asked about gluten/​wheat free options. The owner was knowledgeable and told me right off the bat the stuff that couldn’t be made wheat free, and then asked what I was into. He sat down .with a full restaurant. he sat down with ME and talked the menu over to find something I liked and could eat, (which there is a lot!) I explained how I loved Tonkatsu but it was breaded, so I wanted something that felt hearty. I said I could go with Sushi which I like anyways if he couldn’t find a way to make a wheat free Tonkastu He visited the chef and came out with an idea for a Tonkatsu breading that didn’t have wheat and a special sauce, made just for me, That didn’t have soy sauce. He even had gluten free Soy Sauce in this small town. My meal even came with miso soup, sans soy sauce. For dessert I had a very good red bean ice cream (which the name I can’t recall). I would have had the fried ice cream but it naturally was gluten free. I didn’t even ask. but it sounded delish. All in all, it was a real meal which didn’t feel gluten free, made just for me, and the bill with tip was under $ 16.00. The hostess and waitress was bubbly and sweet, and attentive as well. I walked away very very happy and my tummy said «Thanks!»

Excellent, great service

We have a home nearby and come here every time we visit. Their noodle soups are always hot and delicious and very reasonably priced. Their sushi rolls are EXCELLENT. The atmosphere is warm and cozy and interesting without a whiff of pretension. We love Tuna III !

Amazingly good considering the way out in the woods location. This sushi would stand up to a lot I’ve eaten in the city

We had a great experience here! My friends and I were staying in Delhi for a wedding and stopped here for dinner. We got there at 8:45 and even though they were scheduled to close at 9pm, they stayed open for us and didn’t make us rush or anything. I’m vegan and he took special care to ensure that I was taken care of. We split a bunch of appetizers (fried tofu, spring rolls, dumplings) and for my entrée I got the avocado peanut roll. Everything was delish and the prices were very reasonable. If you’re passing through Delhi and looking for a place to eat, I would highly recommend this one! :)

Only one here, so I waited 15 minutes for my bento lunch. Bubble tea was delicious and got tempura shrimp/​teriyaki chicken combo. Good stuff and miso soup was wonderful. I would definitely recommend. I was looking for something different for lunch and this was a wise choice.

This gets 5 stars from me, not because it serves AMAZING food, but because it serves good japanese food for a small upstate town in the country with 2 stop lights. It’s not Nobu or Blue Ribbon, but if you want that you need to travel 3 hours south to NYC.
I LOVE their tuna tataki. It is perfectly seared and served perfectly in a really tasty light sauce.
The owner (and chef) is a character, polite, and hard working.
He recommended a nice cold sake to go with our meal.

Walking around Delhi on a cold snowy day, I was getting hungry and I spotted Tuna III in the center of town. A Japanese & sushi restaurant in Delhi! This place wasn’t here when I was going to school and I had to travel as far as Binghamton for good Japanese food. Now there are two Asian restaurants in Delhi, the other place is Ming Moon in the Price Chopper Plaza, which serves up Chinese food. I definitely had to stop in at Tuna III for lunch.
Enter the place through some hanging plastic curtains (similar to the ones used for walk-​in coolers) and door. The atmosphere inside is casual, cozy, and unique. The finished wood walls, carpeting, and the Japanese décor gives this place a Japanese/​country restaurant feel, very fitting for a small town in the mountains. This narrow space has table seating and a sushi bar in the back.
The menu offerings include sushi rolls, sashimi, appetizers, soups, salads, udon, yakitori, tempura, seafood, hibachi (cooked in kitchen), teriyaki dishes, and desserts (ice cream, mochis, banana frenzy, chocolate lava cake). Lunch specials (until 4PM) and dinner specials (all day) are offered including bento boxes. Starting at 9:30AM, a breakfast bento box ($ 5.75) is served with eggs and Vietnamese coffee. The prices here are fair, lunch ($ 8-​$ 12) and dinner ($ 11-​$ 18 for most entrees).
I could sit anywhere I’d like upon entering. I decided to order the L9: Salmon Teriyaki Lunch Bento Box ($ 9) which included miso soup. The miso soup served very hot in small cup was good, which had a tofu, seaweed, scallions, & rice noodle in a soothing miso broth. The bento box had grilled salmon teriyaki, salad, egg fried rice, and California roll. The salmon was very firm, only warm temperature-​wise. The iceberg lettuce salad with tomato & ginger dressing was crunchy. The California roll was decent which had seastick, avocado, egg, & cucumber, sprinkled with roe on the outside. The light fried rice was difficult to eat with the provided chopsticks (I should have kept the soup spoon). The food overall was just okay to me, but being in Delhi, it was a nice relaxing Japanese lunch for under $ 10 before tip. The waiter was friendly and gracious and the service was pretty good.
On another note, another customer at the next table had a vehicle breakdown across the street. The waiter gladly offered his AAA card to the customer to call for a tow truck. That’s thoughtful customer service!
