The food was excellent! And such variety. Service fast and efficient and friendly. Small place, maybe ten tables. Decorated nicely with Japanese theme. Can't wait to go back. read more

Good service, besides one party when we got in, it was empty. We got our food very fast, including when my partner added some some nigiri on mid-dining. The white tuna sashimi could've had thicker pieces but it tasted good. I had the teriyaki chicken bento box for $15 which had a good amount of food. The miso soup it came with was delicious. read more

Bento Sushi - Lunch special- California roll, 3 salmon sushi and 2 tuna sushi. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Came here cuz we were craving Japanese food. Lol. The place is a little small, but there was a steady stream of people coming in to eat. Sadly, the bento boxes seemed to be a mix of Chinese and Japanese good. Hahaha. I was a taken aback by seeing they had orange chicken as a choice for a bento box as that is not a Japanese dish! Hubs and I ordered the lunch bento (salmon teriyaki for him and chicken teriyaki for me). Son and DIL shared a sashimi plate. Surprisingly the sashimi tasted fresh! That was a big surprise. The bento came with a choice of egg drop or miso soup. Sashimi platter 5/5: The fish tasted fresh and not frozen! For the price of good sashimi you can't beat it. It was a little thin but it was awesome fish! Chicken teriyaki bento 3/5: The chicken was dry and I would rather have some real veggies instead of a couple of deep fried california pieces (2). I thought they were mushrooms at first! The california rolls were okay. Salmon teriyaki bento 3/5: The salmon was decent sized chunks. It was more tender than the chicken that's for sure. The service was nice. They were accommodating letting us choose whichever table we wanted. Overall a solid place to get sashimi in ABQ but I wouldn't come and expect authentic bento boxes. If you're okay with orange chicken or sweet and sour bento boxes then you'll be fine! It would actually be a 3.5. The sashimi bumps it up. Maybe if they advertised it as a japanese chinese restaurant I wouldn't have been so shocked by the chinese dishes! read more

The food here is amazing, very fresh! All the flavors are very tasty. The service is very good. They are very helpful with the menu. The place is very small inside maybe six or eight tables. The restaurant is very clean. This is a must try! read more

Tried this place for the first time... as we were trying to pick up lunch close to the area we were in. I love sushi and a good bento box, so was excited.... When we got inside it was nice and well lit. Cute decor and the waiters and workers were all friendly. I ordered a sesame chicken bento box and my husband got the orange chicken bento box. We also ordered a sushi roll to share. The chicken in the bento box was good. The sauces were both good and had excellent flavor... it was a little pricy for the amount of food... but it was good. The sushi came out room temperature which was a bit off putting to me, as I do not like fried or hot rolls I like them cold.... Other than that the sushi was ok. read more

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! read more

Cute, small little spot to drop in for some sushi. The service was really great. We were greeted promptly at the door and seated right away. Our food was hot and served quickly as well. Our waitress was always checking on us and didn't forget anything. We sat at the sushi bar and go to speak with the sushi chefs while we ate. A bunch of friendly faces to chat with. Emphasis on the small. You walk into an intimate restaurant with some yummy food. I sat at the bar with my wife. We ordered edamame, shrimp tempura, hand rolls, and two sushi rolls. The shrimp tempura was served with a pinkish sweet and sour sauce - I'm used to the traditional light tentsuyu rather than sweet and sour so that threw me off. read more

This place is GREAT. A friend brought me here and we tried this special salmon roll that isn't on the menu yet. It was absolutely delicious! As Guy Fierri says, it is a destination dish. If you go here, be sure and ask for directions t! read more

Great service and tasty food! Reasonable priced with good portion sizes. Nice staff and solid ambiance.

I LOVE this place!! My favorite sushi spot in all of ABQ. The green chile tempura roll, teriyaki tofu, and egg fried rice is our go to and is always amazing. The service is great and the prices are really reasonable. read more

My son and I had such a great experience here! He's a very picky eater, and the chef (Jose) was so accommodating with his order. We live nearby and have ordered pickup before, but this was our first time dining in and we were so impressed. The food, service, and atmosphere were all wonderful. We'll definitely be back. Thank you for the great experience! read more

Small sushi bento box diner. Get there early, it fills up pretty quickly.Food is fresh -they should pay attention to what needs to be hot when served but the food is delicious. Lots of selection and a generous serving of hot sake . The service is excellent. read more

Stopped by after an adventure with my son. He wanted Asian so I Yelped and this was on the way. Small strip mall style restaurant filled with locals so that is always a good sign. Decent sushi list but seems to be a bento box place as that is what every table had several of literally. The place was packed so we had to wait about 10 minutes to be seater. Service was attentive and efficient. My water glass stayed full most of the time. They were busy. This seems to be a local family owned and operated business and they did a great job. I don't remember the two rolls but they were good and my son's Shrimp fried rice must have been great as it all disappeared rather quickly. read more

Bento Sushi - Rolls. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

The food looks amazing. It didn't taste as good as their reviews suggest, but I'm glad we gave it a try! It's pretty small inside they had about 8-10 tables available in the whole restaurant. I'm guessing most of their services are take-out or delivery. I'm a big soda person, I definitely love a big Coca Cola when I eat out. I didn't like that the sodas here come from a 12pack and they pour a can of soda inside a glass for you. I can just taste the difference since it wasn't a fountain drink. I'm crazy about my Coke! What can I say! I got the orange chicken plate. The way the chicken was fried was how I like it but the orange chicken sauce was their own version of orange chicken so you might like it. It isn't something I'd order again but I recommend you try it for yourself! The jalapeño chicken plate was rated 6/10 for us because it could have had a lot more flavor. The salad was so tiny when it came to our table I was laughing at my date. We were making jokes, BUT it did taste soooo delicious! Gyoza tasted like some good ole gyoza. Red Dragon roll was good we'd order that again. I'm sorry I can't remember the name of the other sushi roll we ordered. The customer service was good. The bathrooms were clean too incase you were wondering. read more

Bento Sushi Japanese Restaurant is off Wyoming across from El Patron at the end of a strip mall next door to Wink's Gym. Seating is at indoor tables; there are no booths or outdoor seating. Patrons in wheelchairs will have no issues here. The service was professional and attentive. The sushi was mostly decent; I think the most appropriate descriptor would be "forgettable". I had a Philly Roll, the Yellow Tiger Roll (yellowtail, avocado, and cucumber wrapped inside with crab stuck with masago on top) for $15.25, and two-piece unagi (listed as eel on the menu). The unagi pieces were the smallest I've had before. I'm not sure if they were the end of the eel or if the pieces are always so miniature at Bento Sushi. The Philly and Yellow Tiger Rolls weren't particularly memorable. They weren't bad, but weren't anything I'd crave. The presentation looked good, but the taste wasn't there. read more

My new go-to sushi spot! My old place increased prices and decreased quality, so I was looking for a new place and decided to try based on Google reviews, I'm so glad I did! I've eaten here a handful of times now and each time has been great. I always get the California Fantastic roll and the Santa Fe roll, both are delicious! I also love their egg drop soup! Service is always great, and I love how clean it is. Highly recommend! read more

Twice now, we have ordered sushi during the pandemic. The first time, the rice was completely overcooked and mushy in the nigiri sushi. The second time, the rice was very bland and really took away from the taste of the sushi. I'm not sure that they season the sushi rice appropriately, if at all. read more

Ordered Bento Box with Orange Chicken. best Bento I've ever had! All the usual items plus some not listed on the menu. Generous portion. Orange Chicken was lightly breaded and the sauce was excellent! I learned I can substitute the California roll in the lunch Bento box for something else. Also ordered Jasmine tea, served hot and a second pot was delivered 1/2 way thru the meal for nothing extra. For the meal received, the price of $15 was very reasonable! Great Service. Small and intimate restaurant. I will be going back to try the sushi menu! read more

Bento Sushi - Orange Chickem Bento Box, Lunch - Sushi Bars Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

I should've known something was up when I walked in the door. It was the dinner hour, and I was the only one in there. Ordered the chicken teriyaki bento box, it came with miso soup, which was pretty good. Salad dressing and salad were good. It went south for me when there was like an eel sauce or teriyaki on the California roll. Then the chicken teriyaki was made with chicken breast instead of thighs, which are always more juicy. In fact, the chicken was dried out, but the white rice was good that I had to order on the side. I will not be going back to this place. read more

A friend suggested this newish spot and I'm so glad she did. It's a cozy space and our server was great. The crab rangoons were really good. We got the bento box. I got teriyaki shrimp and my daughter got the teriyaki salmon. Both were delicious. The miso and egg drop soups were so tasty. I got a quart of egg drop to go and it was only $5.99. What a bargain. We will be back to get our sushi fix soon. read more

Bento Sushi - Specialty Sushi Bento Box. I started eating before remembering to snap a pic. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

This place is one of those restaurants that can be easily overlooked because of the exterior paint or sign. But, it's a classic example of not judging a book by its cover. I started going to this place four months ago and my only regret is that I did not find it sooner! The service is great and the sushi is fresh and delicious! They also have some amazing hot food choices, all at reasonable prices. If you're looking for some fun ask them for the chef roll and they will make you something custom. If you haven't tried this place, don't wait. Go now! read more

So the place is very small but clean, very clean. Staff is friendly and the place is tucked away but OMG amazing. I've been to other local places in town and here the fish tasted so fresh. My wife just stopped here out of the blue she was wishing for sweet sour chicken and it was great. I think the egg drop soup is the bomb!! I would eat a huge bowl. I think if you are looking for great place for sushi or even fried rice try this place out. I had the yellow tail and red snapper, perfect. If you want Saki this is the place. Atmosphere here is nice and you can talk and hear each other. We will return found a new place for sushi read more

Plain and simple, eat here, you will not be disappointed. It is a small business with only a handful of tables so it feels very comfortable. For a lunchtime meal place it is very quick service-food-check. Their bento boxes are reasonably priced and delicious. The sushi was amazing and buttery, the way you would expect quality raw fish to taste. The staff are very attentive and friendly. I Highly recommend this place to any fans of great Japanese food. read more

Great little sushi restaurant. My family loved the bento boxes. Server was attentive.

Today I craved eel. I was brought to Bento Sushi on the far northside of town, off Wyoming near Paseo del Norte, in a vast shopping center. There was another table of customers, but otherwise I had my pick of tables. There weren't many to choose from; it's a small outfit. I ordered a glass of water, overcoming the temptations posed by the sake menu. To eat: egg drop soup, miso soup, jalapeño bombs, tuna tower, and an unagi rice bowl. The soups were fine. Also, the jalapeño bombs were fine, too. The kitchen did me a good'n and made the bombs shellfish-free by ditching the imitation crab (word on the street is imitation crab can sometimes contain real crab meat. Better safe than dying of anaphylactic shock on the floor of a Japanese restaurant). They also removed the crab from the tuna tower, which lived up to its name, heightwise. Sadly, the tower was drenched in thick sauces which stifled the flavor of the fish. And, of course, the unagi rice bowl. Yes, more rice. I beelined for the eel and chopsticked it down my gullet. Good! Yums for sure. The soft texture stood at odds with my expectations, though no compromise of flavor took place. After consuming my fill, I obtained a small to-go box and brought the rest, well, home. Tonight's visit introduced me to a competent Japanese restaurant, and I'm excited to return someday and try the sushi. I hear they're getting some bluefin tuna, but that's hush hush for now. read more
