And sometimes when there's limited choice here I'll make do with what is available. Fortunately this place is great. You can order a single broth or a split pot. I usually go with the taiwan spicyy broth and one of the others. It's always good, regardless of what ingredients you order they'll pile the plate high. They offer tons of condiments and ice cream for desert. I've also ordered this as delivery which I thought was impossible. But they make it work. You order your broth (single flavor uless you get two orders of broth). You also order your ingredients and whatevder sides you want. I usually get beef, pork and meatballs. Rather than cooking yourself they come cooked in a container with a little brother and you add them at your leisure. I usually get the spicy chicken nuggets as a side and they are delicious. It's a huge portion of food and I almost always have leftovers. Great place!

My server patiently described it all to me and answered my questions. I ended up having a wonderful time both times I've gone. The Thai curry broth is really good. This place is vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free friendly. The portion size is very large. The sauces on the sauce bar are delicious. I really enjoyed being able to mix them in just the ways I chose, that most were vegetarian and vegan, and deciding just what I wanted to eat- which broth, which vegetables and tofu. There is also green onion, cilantro, jalapeño, and such at the sauce bar. There are many options available. The fried mushroom appetizer was good too. Great for a group or date night. It is a casual atmosphere, but a fun experience.

I grew up ocean adjacent and so I admittedly have a difficult time with rating sushi restaurants…read morethat are located absolutely no where near an ocean. That's my bias. Sushiya is my goto for sushi in Albuquerque. It is consistently good, or it has been for me over the past six years. The food has always tasted fresh and they make a nice variety of rolls. I also frequent this restaurant with people who are NOT seafood or sushi fans by any means. So they have a nice variety of foods that are not sushi. In terms of the food, I'd always recommend it to anyone looking for good sushi. As for the service, which in my opinion separates the good from bad, it has been consistently good for six years. The service is always friendly. They are attentive and they anticipate your needs. This is a mom and pop place. I remember spending my days at my dad's bakery and coffee shop when I was young. Interacting with the customers and watching the place operate. Well, Sushiya reminds me of those times because they have their boy there who gets to do the same thing. So it's a nostalgic family and personal experience for me. It sets the ambience of the restaurant. People are friendly and you feel comfortable there. Overall, Sushiya has good service, it's family owned and operated. You just can't beat that! It's people who are passionate about their business. You know they care because they have skin in the game. This all shows at Sushiya. So go, check it out! Are you going to be blown away like Marty McFly by the food? Maybe not. But, you'll be comfortable, in a nice friendly environment and feel at home. Smiling people good food, affordable, and worth it!

It has that wonderful "home-cooked" energy that is so rare to find. The efficiency here is simply remarkable. I dropped in for lunch and opted for the Shrimp Chow Mein, and it arrived at my table within a mere few minutes! Talk about impressive timing. The dish itself was a total triumph perfectly flavorful shrimp with just the right touch of savory richness. At approximately $12, it is an absolute steal for the quality and care put into the preparation. I am officially charmed by this spot and giving it a well-deserved 10/10. I will most certainly be a regular here!

Sushi including the sashimi plates are 50% Food: Dragon Roll: The roll was a nice size so that it could be eaten in 1 bite. Mini Sashimi Plate: The fish was fairly fresh tasting. This was included in the 50% off. Sesame Scallion Noodles: The noodles have a savory sesame scallion sauce coating it. It is very savory but also has a very heavy sesame flavor to it. Shrimp Fried Rice: They used short grain rice for the fried rice. It does have the wok char taste, but it is very oily (probably because they need more oil to prevent this type of rice from sticking together). There are nuts in it. Pan Fried Chicken Buns: This was the highlight of the dinner. These buns are handmade at the store and have a juicy chicken filling. Service: 5 Our waitress was super nice, but there was a little trouble in ordering due to the language barrier. Most of the food didn't take too long to come out besides the pan fried buns. Ambiance: 4 The restaurant is located in a quiet plaza. There is plenty of parking. The restaurant itself has a lot of booths and is fairly clean.

It's not fine dining, but it's not fast food, but you sort of get both experiences here. For example, you order your food at the counter. They bring it to you, but that's about it for service. But the restaurant is clean and nicely adorned. It's nice, and it sort of feels like you'd have a server. But you don't, so don't expect one. The food is good and consistently so. I haven't found anything that jumps out at me, but everything has been solid. Kung Pao Chicken? Good. Coffee Chicken? Solid. Szechwan Green Beans? Tasty. Like I said, it's all good with solid portions, but I can't say anything is simply amazing. They are remarkably consistent. I like going her for a good lunch or a filling dinner. I'm never unhappy.

My husband got the miso soup and I wanted to try the egg drop chicken and corn soup. I enjoyed the egg, drop chicken corn soup it was like campbell's chicken noodle soup with some corn. My husband said his miso soup was ok. For main dishes my husband had sushi and I had the classic spicy pad thai. My pad thai was good and very reasonably priced I could not finish it and took home half. The sushi on the other hand was a bit expensive smaller portion and took a while for them to prepare it. My husband said it was mediocre and has had better sushi at other places in town and probably won't get sushi here next time. We heard that this place is closing so we hope to give it another try before they permanently close.

I've been ordering, from , off-and-on for about a year, and have loved their food. Flash forward to…read moreFeb 2026, and I'm now working on losing weight, so I ordered the teriyaki chicken. "Grilled marinated chicken tossed in a sweet-homemade teriyaki sauce." The menu says nothing about the chicken being coated in a "light batter." I called the restaurant told them that I was expecting just grilled marinated chicken, not with a batter. The gentleman who answered the phone, said they've been meaning to take that off the menu. I've seen this item on the Grubhub and restaurant menu before, just didn't order it, and it never said anything about it being battered. So, apparently it's not all that important to change being as the description hasn't changed in all these months. My order was refunded, and I greatly appreciate that, I now need to find something else to eat tonight. Had I been physically able to get in my car, and drive to the restaurant to ask how they prepare their food I would've done that instead of going through a delivery service.

They do have plenty of parking, but not knowing that we found street parking a few streets up. It's a walkable area though so that wasn't a problem Ambiance/ seating: The place is very laid back. Your order when you come in and the hostess gave us some good recommendations. There are several 2-4 top tables and it was open seating You do have to bus your own table but that's no problem Food: I had one of the bowl options and it was delicious !

The wings were okay. It honestly didn't stand out bc it tasted like the sweet Asian chili sauce in a bottle. The crisp from the wings didn't look "double fried," which Korean chicken wings are known for. The cucumber kimchi ($3) looked a little different than traditional cucumber kimchi, but still tasty and spicy. Their cabbage and radish kimchi had a nice kick to as well, and I liked the extra ginger note. The 2 Korean tacos ($8.95) can be mix and match, so I got the Bulgogi beef and Spicy Pork. The presentation was lovely and they tasted good. There was a lot of meat and paired well with kimchi. In the future, I'll have a side rice. Overall, I recommend, but wished they would add mandoo or fried dumplings as an appetizer.

Some of the portions are a little small but that's okay, it is an AYCE after all! Any dishes we found smaller in portion were just sent in as double orders. Ordering is done on your own as the customer, but if it's your first time it's best to tell the host or hostess, the entire staff is really good about it though "have we been here before?" Or "is this our first time?" Was asked constantly to each new table so it's very easy to get into and start ordering. The music is great, the vibe is more built around groups than ones or twos but it still works. Overall I would definitely come here again as we had a great time! It takes a second to take in the side bar but once you understand it, it's extremely straight forward. Self serve everything and about a 3-5 minute wait on things that need to be restocked. Staff are constantly swarming around to help and deliver food or take plates so it does make it seem VERY lively. Just don't wear hot clothes or jackets, you're going to be warm from the stove tops and eating so much! We got the AYCE KBBQ Premium choice and 2 Asahi 21oz beers for a total of $94. The price is steep but again, it is AYCE so make it worth it, we sure did! Thank you I Grill!

One of the worst experiences I've had over thousands of restaurants I've been to across the globe…read more Let's be real, you are the one doing the cooking so the essence of this place is service and it failed horrifically at it. Not only did they not inform us before sitting us down that they will no longer bring out raw meats and veggies and all that 25 mins before closing time; but they also made sure to remind you over and over and over and over and over. The waitress came and shoved the bill to my face whilst I was eating and said I had to pay right now so they can close down. Mind you there were about 20 others in the restaurant. She insisted on us settling the bill right now right now, and got extremely rude, condescending and frankly speaking hostile. I wonder why we were the only table that got treated differently and perhaps unwanted there. If so they should had refused service from the get go. Maybe because we were the only non-white looking people? Who knows. I will never again come back to this horrendous place.
