John Jiang is the co-owner and manager of John’s Asian Bistro, at 940 Route 9 in Queensbury.
Jiang owns the restaurant with his brother.
Jiang has owned a restaurant in New York
City for over 10 years. Jiang’s wife is currently
running that restaurant for him.
Jiang got the idea for the local restaurant while
visiting his brother, who also owns John’s Wok in
the Aviation Mall. Jiang felt there was not a lot
of quality Asian cuisine in the area.
“I am a sushi chef of over 10 years. I like
to bring new food and new style to this area
so people can have more choice. We have the
only Korean pan-style barbecue in the area,”
said Jiang.
Jiang states that their sushi and barbecue set
them apart in the industry. Additionally, they
offer a lunch-time “bento box” special.
Future plans include the opening of more
restaurants. Jiang said he will be opening another
sushi restaurant, called Blue Fin 9, at the
Lake George Outlets, perhaps within the next
two months.
“I didn’t see any fusion sushi here. People
like sushi but they don’t have a lot of places to
go,” said Jiang.
John’s Asian Bistro offers catering and can be
rented out for events.
The phone number is 741-0519.
