Sakura Sushi and Grill

★★★★★ 4.5 (427) • $$

"I was super excited to try this sushi spot from all I've heard on Yelp and the hype on Abq foodies fb pages. I was waiting in my car because it said they open at 5, and the open sign wasn't on, but people were walking in and after a while I went in to discover they were actually open. So note to y'all if you show up early, try to open the door :) I walked in and came to eat by myself, they sort of suggested I sit at the sushi bar, which is okay, i understand that they would want to reserve the tables for more people. It did dim the experience down though, because in beach side cities I usually have sushi at I'm used to the sushi bar being a fun place to be, you get to interact with the sushi chef's and order with them and they greet you in Japanese. It was definitely more of a colder vibe at the bar, almost felt like I was intruding on kitchen work . First thing I got was the miso soup, I've had plenty of miso soup, this one was more of a miso broth because it was lacking the ingredients. It had 3 slivers of green onion and one piece of tofu. I mean it's free but , wish it just had a little more to it.The appearance and presentation of the food was really good. Even had a nice smell for the most part. The New Mexico roll looked beautiful, it even had a crunch to it, but it wasn't spicy nor did the flavor of the sauce really stand out. I mean it's sushi in the dessert so my entire star rating is going to be based on the idea of lowering the bar from what I'm used to in beach cities. So I'll say it was decent, it was like a half step better than whole foods market sushi. The baked lobster roll didn't quite look in person as the pictures I saw on Yelp, however the flavor was much better on this, you can taste the sauce, the roll underneath it fell apart easily and could have used a little more size. But I'll say this one was actually slightly better in taste , texture was gone but flavor was better. The Abq roll would have been really good but you could actually taste the flavor of butane with each bite. The bulgogi wasn't the usual thin fatty meat slices in used to when I have bulgogi, it was thicker, tougher and had little muscle tendon pieces I kept having to pick out. The flavor was sweet but not much else. It was not too bad, definitely eatable! The "spicy chicken" not spicy at all, texture of the meat was good, generous portion of meat. The service was really friendly and they also brought me a Korean dessert tea for no charge at the end and it was really good. The servers were mostly the owners and their children, there was one server that wasn't a part of the family. All of them were really nice and friendly, I truly did enjoy the service and I wish their establishment well. I hate leaving negative reviews and I always try to be as positive as possible, but it was hard to rate this place. I would call it like a 3.5 star establishment in my opinion based on what I experienced and I rounded it to 3. If you're from a beach city area remove a half star to make it more accurate to what you're used"

Sushi Xuan

★★★★☆ 4.2 (332) • $$

"Sushi Xuan is one of my top 3 fav restaurants in town. I haven't had a dish here I haven't liked. I always recommend people try the Monkey balls, bento boxes, any of the chef special rolls but especially the Make My Day, Sushi Xuan, and Lollipop roll are my favorites. The hot and sour soup is also great, so is the fried rice. I also really love the Tonkatsu ramen here- one of the best ramens in town in my opinion! Another common order is the curry shrimp which is always really tasty. I have dined in and ordered takeout from here multiple times and never been let down. The food always comes out really quickly and the servers are all really great. I've been here with a large group and also been seated quickly. The restaurant is always very clean and welcoming. My family will continue to come back often!"

Tamashi Japanese Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4.2 (311) • $$

"Favorite place to get sushi in town. Best quality and flavor. If its a weekend night I would say be prepared for a wait because it gets quite packed. I usually do lunch when its a little bit slower. I always get the chefs choice sashimi that comes with miso soup, either a spicy tuna roll or California. Also comes with either 8-10 pieces of nigiri, large portions of fish at that. I would say I go here once every other week and will continue to do so. Love this place!"

Sushiya

"Yummy!!! I'm so glad I tried this little place!It's a very small very friendly staff !The food is pretty good! We had the fried dumplings which were perfect! The crab rangoons are delicious. They do taste different but super good!The Prawns with candied pecans was good just super sweet! The sushi was fresh and perfect!"

Crazy Fish

"I loved visiting this wonderful sushi restaurant. The sushi was delicious and the atmosphere was nice. Service was very good as well! Thank you crazy fish!"

Bento Sushi

★★★★☆ 4.4 (167) • $$

"A nice little place with humongous taste! This place is absolutely fantastic! The food is rich with flavor, I had the bento box with the jalapeño chicken and the chefs choice sushi roll. My wife had the orange chicken bento box. The presentation on the plate was phenomenal and the staff was very friendly. Great, quality Asian cuisine!"

Tokyo Bangkok

★★★★☆ 4.1 (182) • $$

"YUM!We were apprehensive about sushi at an Asian hodge-podge (Japanese and Thai). It's not fusion. It's literally a sushi bar and Thai food in the same restaurant, and it's GOOD. Added bonus: they have gluten free soy sauce!!!Sushi is fresh and generously portioned; the tempura was light, though not the traditional batter. Pad Woon Zen with shrimp was new to us, and we DEVOURED the dish (mung bean threads stir fried with vegetables and shrimp in a sauce that reminded me a little of a lighter pad see ew).Service was friendly, prompt and thorough. The atmosphere tends toward casual. Overall, it is a great place for a casual dinner with eclectic menu choices. 4 stars because I can't give it 4 1/2. When we next visit Albuquerque, this place will be a stop!"

Sushi Freak - ABQ Uptown

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (278) • $

"I'm giving 4 stars because everything I ordered was delicious. The Kookmeyer burrito with calamari, jalapeños, cream cheese, rice, avacado wrapped in seaweed was ao yummy The Philadelphia roll was good too. I really liked the green Chile egg roll. I wasn't real impressed with the menu. A lot of the rolls had Krab which is just white fish soaked in crab oil. I'm not a fan. I have another sushi place I like where I get more food for less money so I'm not sure if I'll be back."

Ichiban Japanese Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.8 (193) • $$

"One of the hidden gems of ABQ Westside!Tucked into the corner of a strip mall Ichiban is a good spot for sushi, noodle & rice dishes and a variety of entrees. The service is always good and friendly and sure, sometimes there's a wait but the food is always good and pricing is fair. The restaurant went through a remodel a few years ago and added outdoor seating and updated dining area, you can even sit at the sushi bar. I was sad to see the individual bento box removed from the menu but there's still a bento box for two."

Shogun Japanese Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.8 (167) • $$

"Nice enough place for the price. Wonderful and warm service. Wish the rice was bit "stickier"but overall a nice experience. Miso soup is exceptional."

Korean BBQ House Sushi & Sake

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (190) • $$

"This is my second time here, and it is the place to eat for Korean food. You can order galbi, bulgogi, BBQ chicken, and much more. They have all the side dishes so make sure you ask, because they probably have it.The food was great.Service was great.There is also plenty of parking out back.Make sure you stop by."

Azuma Sushi & Teppan

★★★☆☆ 3 (203) • $$

"At the first experience, the staff who came to take our order seemed to be rude too. Not a very pleasant welcome. Also, after the order, we were seated for almost 30 minutes before the chef arrived to cook our meal. Fun place to try live cooking teppanyaki style, however not the best food. One of our friends got sick too after reaching back home, not sure if that was from the food but she swears not to go here again. The restaurant is huge with plenty of seating and nice decor but they seem to be short-staffed at least in the chef head count. But the restrooms were too dirty. My wife says even the women one too. Priced is reasonable but not the best experience we had."

Samurai Grill & Sushi Bar

★★★★☆ 3.5 (122) • $$

"My wife and I went here today and both got sushi. I got the Kraken roll and my wife got the Crunchyroll. We split the California roll. Overall the experience was spectacular. The service was prompt. The food was delicious. We will definitely be back."

Masa Sushi

★★★★☆ 3.6 (76) • $$

"Masa Sushi is a locally owned, mom & pop type of restaurant that has been around for ages. The age shows in the decor and the ambiance is very casual, but you come here for the yummy sushi! The nigiri, sashimi, and roll offerings are plentiful and I enjoyed everything I had. Prices aren't the most inexpensive, but they also are from expensive ranging from 10-20 dollars per roll. There are also plenty of cooked bento box style dishes and vegetarian options! My favorites were the Espanola, Solana, Santa Fe and mountain rolls. The quality of the fish was much better than some of the other casual sushi restaurants in town. I also really enjoyed the miso soup. I just wish the service was a little quicker once we finished our meal, but this place was busy and there weren't very many employees so I give them a pass."

Teriyaki Chicken Bowl

★★★☆☆ 2.7 (29) • $

"This Teriyaki Chicken Bowl location is better than some of the other ones I have been to. It earns an A-OK rating because it is usually clean and serves big portion sizes. I would like to see them offer half noodles and half rice in one of their combination options. The last time I visited TCB I paid $0.43 each for the drink refills. I'm surprised that Teriyaki Chicken Bowl is still nickel-and-diming it after all of these years. They lose a star for this.Another star is lost because they are not always welcoming. A "Hello. Please order when you are ready." would be a nice form of greeting when customers walk near the ordering counter. I've been visiting TCB off and on for years, and I rarely hear any greetings from any of the cashiers. Nonetheless, the cleanliness makes up for this lack of communication.I am a returning customer for their clean restaurant, serving sizes, and drive through option. They say that they are a Japanese establishment, so it would be very nice to see more Japanese food options. Tempura would be a realistic option for Teriyaki Chicken Bowl because TCB currently serves fried items. I hope they will expand their menu. For now, TCB is doing okay."

Mobiyaki ABQ

★★★★☆ 3.9 (11)

"Finally made it to the Food Truck Park. Young lady at counter was super helpful. Answering all my questions. I ordered noodles with breaded/fried pork, don't remember menu name. Delicious. Rice and noodles both have bacon with them so not a real strong Japanese flavor. Came with a side of veggies and a piece of candy. I Think pricing was fair/ appropriate. Went for lunch so not too busy"

"Now this place has some amazing teriyaki I am never displeased with this place when I get from the drive through though on the other hand I do have to say the restaurants on the inside definitely need to be remolded though I think this business could flourish if the business got rid of the dine in option and downsized the restaurants because they have some pretty amazing food and I definitely recommend"

Teriyaki Chicken Bowl

★★★☆☆ 2.6 (14) • $

"Ordered the double chicken teriyaki combo, which comes with two servings of chicken on top of a large portion of rice with steamed vegetables on the side. I thought the chicken was delicious, and I added extra teriyaki sauce to taste. The rice stuck together nicely, making it easy to take bites with plenty of rice and chicken. The steamed vegetables weren't impressive but added color, texture, and nutrition to the dish. For $8.99, this was a lot of good food. Drive-through service was fast, too. This is a solid option for quick eats in the midtown area."

Teriyaki Express

★★★★☆ 3.6 (7)

"This is the place to go for Teriyaki! The little restaurant may little, and they don't have a bathroom on the inside, but the food tastes pretty good. I ordered the Sweet and Sour Chicken and it was very crisp. The chicken was a little dry, but the sauce was sweet and yummy. I loved the egg roll that came with it. My husband ordered the Beef Teriyaki. I was jealous because their Teriyaki is exquisite! It is so tasty. I would definitely recommend this place."
