Sorry Was exhausted Spent last hour trying to find dinner that wasn't red meat, or pizza so I drove to a sushi place downtown that I wouldn't park my car in the area. Rubby bummed a light off me. Now I stumbled across sushibucks and the moment the hostess said hello I knew this was the right place. Not too busy but not empty. I needed the zen feel of Japanese tonight. Living in an Asian city I will say the food is good but the vibe is sublime read more

My go to Korean/sushi spot. The food is consistently good and you get so much food for the price. They also have specials and they also do not disappoint. The service is always excellent and for a small restaurant our food always come out fast. This location is smaller so I suggest coming early or putting in a reservation for big groups. I have brought my meetup group here and out in reservations for 10 people and we pretty much took half of the place read more

Tried this place on a whim two months ago. I really found the name odd and honestly it was the name which kept me away. Very unassuming in name and external presentation. The restaurant is a mix of table service and self service. You get seated and get a menu then have to go up to the front to order and they bring out the food. The presentation of the food is top notch. The chef does a great job and wields his knife well. The sushi itself is the best I have had in Albuquerque and some of the best period. I daydream about their sashimi. It is so good. The place is a little small so when they get busy you might have a wait but the wait is worth it. Pretty reasonably priced as far as very fresh fish in New Mexico goes. I can't recommend highly enough. read more

**NEW restaurant name is Sushibucks Best sushi in town & conveniently located on a strip of Central where it isn't easy to find great dining options like this -- other than fast food. Sushibucks is legit -- daily specials, fresh specialty rolls, plus classics like Spicy Tuna and Salmon. A bonus is you can also order Korean bowls like Bulgogi with Udon noodle. 10/10 recommend that dish. Lastly, this is a clean space that feels open and comfortable to sit for lunch or dinner. read more

First off I cannot believe I waited this long to try this place. I love Korean food. I normally fully enjoy it in LA, Hawaii. I am so happy that there is now a place in Albuquerque that is authentic and delicious. Sara and I have dined in and the chef is so sweet and kept checking on us. It's super clean in there and smells amazing when you walk in. The prices are great for the amount of food that you get. I love their kimchi, it is perfectly spiced and fresh.

The food came out fast. The little bear at the end amazed us because that takes skill! We just really appreciate this restaurant, you can tell they care and have a passion for their food. Also I'm someone that struggles with anxiety and the ambiance here is so relaxing and beautiful. Just an amazing restaurant that I will 100% be coming back! read more

Open on Mondays (whew), including Memorial Day. Great find Lovely people run it And they're very congenial and forgiving of my attempts at the Korean language We can dine -in now, which was a very welcome arrangement given the downpour outside I luvd the miso soup, eel roll, and the tonkatso udon. The chashu was absolutely luscious. The squid salad was good, not outstanding, but certainly not bad, had a good texture and flavor. The kimchi pancake was okey; I felt badly for the lady because she thought I didn't like it so she offered to make me another batter but I was already so full. I also got a bulgogi bento box to go Which was beautiful fresh but I don't think it fair to review it when refrigerated and reheated the next day (but it was good and a lot, and fulfilling) Will be back! read more

Ahhhh... Sushibucks...I've been meaning to leave a review.. But, before I can find the time to write it, I've already been back to Sushibucks multiple times. It's such a wonderful little hole in the wall restaurant, in an area you wouldn't think such a restaurant would exist. It's slightly reminiscent of Magokoro during its Kokoro days (for those of you who remember). The menu is different. But, the attention to detail is very similar. These people are incredibly competent at their trade/art. I almost don't want to post this so I can greedily keep it from becoming another Bahn Mi Coda. That's all I have to say. If you need more details, just go try it and get the Beef Bulgogi with the egg on top cooked *medium*. Heavenly... read more

So far all I've had is sushi and gyoza. I definitely plan to branch out on trying their bento boxes, poke and udon. I am a fan of their chicken gyoza. I'm not usually a big fan of uncooked sushi but this place is my exception. I usually will get spicy tuna, the kind that's all mushy and cut up. But here their spicy tuna is full cuts and is delicious. I even had a roll that had salmon (uncooked) and loved that too. Of course the eel roll was also very delicious, that's usually my go-to. I plan on trying their Korean pancake and bibimbop next. They currently only offer takeout due to dine-in restrictions. I'm sure they would be willing to offer curbside if you asked. The owners are always very friendly. The inside space is small but there are markings on the floor to indicate the six foot social distancing, wear masks/gloves, and have a plexiglass divider at the register. read more

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.

Sakura Sushi and Grill

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.

Zu Hot Pot

I used to live in both San Francisco and Seattle where good hot pot was almost as plentiful as…read moreStarbucks shops. There aren't as many choices here. 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!

What a unique way of eating, here in the U.S. anyway. This restaurant does have a learning curve,…read moreunderstanding how to order, how much to order, how adding sauces and cooking your food works, and you do have to do some work. 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.
