    Caterpillar toll, popcorn shrimp, edame, miso soup
    Wendy T.

    Great food! The caterpillar roll was fresh and tasty. The popcorn shrimp came on a roll. The edame is our granddaughters favorite. Every dish was presented well. Loved the fancy peeled orange. Service was excellent. The inside is really cute. Parking to the west of the building.

    Lemon Roll

    The exterior of Sushibucks seemed kind of forbidding to me so it took a while for me to try it. I've been a few times now and every time I go in I kick myself for not eating here more often! The service is friendly and kind, the food is delicious, and the atmosphere is just calm and relaxing. Today I tried the lemon roll and it was exactly what I wanted.

    So happy we found this spot! We've been looking for some good, authentic udon, ramen, and sushi. This place has a wide range of options for you to choose from. Plenty of sushi rolls and different soups - both Korean and Japanese. It's a clean, cozy spot perfect for a quick lunch break or a catch-up dinner with an old friend. There's parking spots right up front where you pay per hour.

    Miso Ramen with beef bulgogi

    Random find on a Sunday evening and glad to have found Sushibucks. It's a small place with a sit & order at the front when you're ready kind of place. Service and ambiance is friendly, clean, and welcoming. Reasonable prices. Delicious sushi and ramen soups. We ordered the KPop roll, Popcorn shrimp roll, New Mexican roll, Lion King roll, gyozas, and Miso Ramen with beef bulgogi. Each dish is recommended. Only complaints are: - the popcorn shrimp only came with one popcorn shrimp on top of each sushi piece. Normally when we order sushi with the same/similar name, there would actually be a pile of "popcorn" pieces. - KPop roll, the beef bulgogi was unexpectedly slightly chilly and not warm or hot. It would've been nice if the meat was warm to eat The little one was excited and eager to have the complimentary orange bear they give at the end of dinner. It was cute. He also likes the strawberry vanilla ice cream. I liked the Sesame balls. Would definitely recommend and consider returning.

    Yummmy! Salmon rolls and Yakisoba were amazing! Located right across from UNM off of central, Sushibucks has a very convenient parking lot and you can order for dine in or takeout. We were in a hurry so grabbed takeout. It was made promptly and fresh to order! Prompt service, kind staff and well appointed dining room! I was surprised the parking lot was so full and that there were so many people having lunch but after tasting our food, it's obvious why!

    I love this place! It is simple, delicious, authentic food without the film flam of the competitors. Have eaten in and ordered to go with equally great service. Their venue is neatly decorated. They time your meal so that you're not overwhelmed with food all at once. Excellent spice level for the ramen. I'll keep returning!

    One of my favorite sushi spots in Albuquerque, Sushibucks is always a relatively affordable option with great service and good bites. I want to reiterate that the staff is always so sweet, they're really friendly and I've never gotten a little bear at the end of my meal. I highly recommend dining in, but you can always eat out of course. One of my favorite things to get is the kimbap but really you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. They've got great bowls and great rolls.

    THIS IS THE SUSHI/RAMEN SPOT IN ABQ! Highly highly recommend 12/10 Never misses every time we come here on the weekends If your visiting, looking for Spicy Ramen and bomb Sushi, this is the spot to eat at

    Delicious sushi. You order at the front but sit down like a regular restaurant. Reasonable prices. Very good. Highly recommended. See photos. Very cool ice cream sandwich dish too. Yum.

    The cutest small restaurant , the lemon roll and jurashi bowl are to die for. The staff is super friendly , they have made my day every time I've eaten here.

    Bulgogi sushi roll
    Ilwoo H.

    On our way to traveling to Atlanta this area wasn't enough Asian restaurant. We looking for eat something Asian food because my friend wanted eat rice. I found out this restaurant on the Yelp.only few restaurants around our hotel. We entered this place without hope. We just wish for nothing bad quality. But there was some great point. Have to order at the front. My friend go there order. Shrimp Denbbura udon for me and bulgogi sushi roll for us. I felt little cold so my friend ordered soup for me. So sweet! Bulgogi sushi roll(3/5)- it was ok but wish less sweet. Udon(2/5)-udon was over cooked but udon base soup was ok. Dumplings(2/5)- after tried eat this definitely I know what kind of dumpling they used. It's good but I hope dumplings quality is better? I first time saw use fried dumplings used very well know Korean brand. That brand dumplings are only pupouar made dumpling soup. Not a fried. Desert it was so nice. Complimentary. So cute We thought this place owner was not a Korean but they spoke Korean to each other because of my dog , we got to know they are Korean. Our dog is service animal and she super quiet while in the bag. Was surprised found Korean owed restaurant in this area. Unbelievable! They are very friendly. I hope they get little more better and getting popular Korean Japanese restaurants around this area. They have a lot of menu we did not try everything but if I have plan for travel this area again I will try other food here!

    Miso soup
    Angie K.

    I kept hearing about this place from a reasonable number of foodie groups in town so before my most recent popejoy show I decided I was going to give it a try since I was going to be in the area. It is in the row of restaurant fronts that all look very similar over by the university so make sure you find the right door! The place is pretty small with only a few tables and a style where you order at the counter and they bring you your food. I got the salmon poke bowl which came with miso soup and my friend got bulgogi bibimbap. The poke came with a good sized helping of the fish which was well seasoned some egg sashimi, roe, seaweed salad and avocado among other tasties over rice. It was all quite delicious and very filling. My friend enjoyed the bulgogi or at least it disappeared as quickly as my poke bowl! There are quite a few options on the menu I need to go back and try - like the sushi - all in all I was quite pleased with my experience.

    Came with my girlfriend for the first time, the wait wasn't bad at all, we sat at around 4:30 and…read morewere done by 6! 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!

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.

    As someone with celiac, eating sushi can be surprisingly stressful. Soy sauce is in nearly…read moreeverything, menus aren't always clear, and I'm usually stuck asking a ton of questions or avoiding places altogether. That's why Sakura Sushi & Grill stood out right away. They clearly label gluten-free options on the menu. They also offer gluten-free soy sauce, which is a huge win. Even better, they have lunch specials with gluten-free options, which is rare. It's located in Riverside Plaza in Albuquerque, just past the river on the west side. I ordered the Sushi Lunch A with premium fish and chose the double salmon roll. Everything was incredibly fresh and delicious, and the portions were great for the price. The miso soup that comes with lunch isn't gluten-free, but they brought me a side salad with an amazing gluten-free dressing instead. I felt confident eating here, which is not something I say often. I didn't have any reaction afterward and would absolutely eat here again. One of the coolest surprises: they make their own wasabi in-house. It's not on the menu, but if you ask, they'll bring it out, and it is absolutely worth it. We considered getting a sushi boat, but the lunch specials were a better value for lunch. If we went for dinner, we would absolutely order a boat. I also had hot sake, which paired perfectly with the meal. At the end, they even brought us a sweet cinnamon tea for my friend's birthday, even though we didn't order dessert. Service was warm and attentive the entire time. My friend has a shellfish allergy, and the server made sure her plate only included fin fish, which we really appreciated. We went around 1:30 p.m. on a Tuesday, and it was quiet with only a few other tables. The atmosphere felt calm and relaxed, with a casual, comfortable vibe that made it easy to sit and actually enjoy a conversation without feeling rushed. They close at 3 and reopen for dinner, so it's a great low-key lunch spot if you time it right. My friend also mentioned she brings her young kids here often, and the woman manager or owner is especially kind and welcoming to them. I enjoyed this place so much that I called my husband on the way home to tell him all about it. We're already planning to go back with our kids, which will make this my second visit in one week. If you're gluten-free, this place is a gem. And even if you're not, the quality, service, and overall experience make it absolutely worth a visit.
