The final price (paying with cash) was $102.32 before the tip, which seems very fair given the size of the portions and the quality. The fish was not the very highest quality, but it was very good. The wasabi was some of (if not) the best that I've ever had. The soy and eel sauces were made in-house, and were excellent. Presumably, the rest of the sauces were house-made as well. Leo was a very good and friendly server. The atmosphere was very relaxed but could be suitable for something fancier. The one thing that hurts is the price; as fair as it is, I do wish that it were a smidgen less.

I may have just ordered from them on a bad night the last time. This time the food was better. I…read moreonly ordered two special rolls and the rest were nigiri, tofu puffs and Monkey Balls. The two rolls I ordered were better than last time. One was The Green Dragon (i think) using Avacado instead of seaweed. The other was Lobster Dance which is scallops and lobster. The Green dragon was okay. The Lobster Dance would have been a lot better without the overpowering sauce. The nigir were okay, but I prefer my nigiri to not have a lot sauce and all three I ordered were heavily covcered in their cloying (oyster based?) sauce. The Monkey Balls were meh, I've had way better here. The Seaweed Salad was excellent which I think was true last time. I guess I still need to try the in restaurant experience, but based on the food alone I'm not sure it would be great. If anyone has a great place they like let me know!!!

We ordered a bunch of rolls, but the one that stood out was the Aloha because it tasted like they put Sriracha mixed with ketchup on it :( So, it stood out for the wrong reasons. Anyway, while eating, the workers were smoking cigarettes with the back door open. I think the air was actually pushing the cigarette smoke inside and our table was close to the kitchen. We had the flavor of an ash tray mixed in with our sushi. Lovely. The atmosphere is cute. Looks like a fun place for hibachi. I do lot recommend the sushi here, unless you're a super fan of California rolls.

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.

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.

I ordered an egg drop soup, pretty good but the top was broken open which caused a mess in the bag and it got on other food. The walnut shrimp was below it and caved in top. The walnut shrimp was pretty good( could have been crispier). We also tried the coffee chicken which had a subtle coffee flavor and was pretty good. The egg rolls were decent. We had an order of the tempura soft shell crab & veggie dish. A bit salty but good. I ended with ordering a key lime pie(very sweet & not worthy of an $8 price tag). I have to say the young man helping me out felt bad and threw in an extra key lime pie. The place had many tables occupied but it was comfy atmosphere. Received white rice but ordered fried.

(We kept noticing tables asking for utensils to eat their food as their food came out but they would sit there waiting for someone to come by with plates napkins and chopsticks) This place is usually known for their fast service but today we waited 30 minutes after they had taken our menu and noticed other tables got their food first. So we asked to check on it. The server realized something happened and told us the food was coming out now it was going to be free of charge which was sweet on Her end However, We just got home because we couldn't wait and eat the location anymore and we noticed it's not our order. And or we are missing items? The sashimi on the menu says 3 pcs an order there's only two rice with big chunks of salmon dumplings we actually didn't order We ordered sushi with jalapeños we don't see it and again just not what we ordered. We'd go back again I guess just double check orders? This WAS our order 1 Shrimp tempura roll 1 order of the sashimi salmon 1 dragon roll 1 Los Lunas Roll 1 Amazing Roll 1 Money roll

I tried this place for the first time yesterday. I was completely disappointed. The service (or…read morelack of) was horrible. The woman who seated us and semi waited on us never spoke to us. We had to flag her down for each thing we ordered. I ordered 2 rolls and the came with no wasabi or ginger. There were no bowls to mix the wasabi and soy sauce. A friend joined our table a little bit late and she waited a long while for anyone to ask for her order. All the staff were on their phones and finally we went to the area where they all were and asked for help. The rolls I ordered were somewhat dry and completely fell apart on the plate without even touching them. Won't be returning.

Yoshi Mame left me with a philosphical question. Is mediocre food better if you can eat as much as…read moreyou want. I did my research on that here. For 30.00 you can order whatever you want from the large sushi menu. You have to eat it all and you have a two hour time limit. It kind of reminded me of Meat Beard the food challenge Tuber who eats gigantic food challenges except that you don't get a free meal if you eat everything. It's okay sushi. I find that sushi here in ABQ tends to be the sweet sauce kind and that's no exception here. I had a few nigiris a few special rolls and an eel hand roll. I liked the eel roll except I thought I'd left cream cheese on sushi back in Seattle where I used to live. I've given up on super fresh fish here in ABQ, mainly because I get that we are in the desert so any sushi is welcome. But the nigiris were all fresh tasting with bouncy flesh. The surf clams was the best of those. The place is a little tatty with a half assed attempt at paper flower decorations on a few walls. It's clean but looks old and worn. The staff were nice and friendly and didn't make you work hard to re-order. So the answer to my question is Yes, being able to eat a lot of mediocre food for free is a nice treat. This is better than a lot of the other sushi joints in town and more betterer because you can eat a ton if you want

We got seated right away and didn't wait long to order pretty much everything. I took pictures of everything we ate. I ordered our usually and added Japanese style chicken to try for the kids and they kind of liked it. It's on the sweeter side. I thought they were gonna be breaded, but they weren't. My MIL said it was dry and didn't like it. It was ok. But we didn't finish it and told the server. We ate everything else. They ran out of all the flavors of ice cream except vanilla. Our server was very quick and precise with our orders. She even brought our check as soon as we told her we were done after ordering ice cream. We have kids, so we appreciate efficiency. Their xmas tree is so cute with sushi ornaments!
