sizzling beef entree
Genieen G.

I'll say it every time and mean it... sushi xuan is hands down the best of the best in Abq when it comes to sushi! The service is always exceptional, The sushi is always fresh, and the food is always hot and made to order! It's a smaller location but that only adds the to charm and adds more of a reason to go. If you have not tried them yet... check them out!

Chirashi don - mixed sashimi on rice (ordered delivery)
Rachel M.

Ordered via GrubHub with gift card. Packaging was smart, separating the ramen broth from the noodles to prevent over-saturation. Alas, I did not enjoy the black garlic tonkatsu ramen broth. The portion was very large, and they didn't skimp on chashu, but the broth was not my bag... Maybe it'll be yours? Also ordered chirashi don (12 pieces of mixed sashimi on rice). Included nice extras, like seaweed salad and imitation krab and tamago (egg)...but only one of the fresh fish impressed me.

Quick update. The egg drop and hot and sour soup are very good. I find myself dining here at least once a week as it is the closest sushi place to my home and rather convenient. The brewery and dispensary in the same shopping center can sometimes make parking challenging, but a short walk to work off an excellent meal is not a bad thing. Eating at the bar is also an interesting experience since you get to meet the takeout customers and delivery drivers waiting for orders.

My second favorite sushi joint! Phenomenal Hamachi with jalapeño. Just be aware that sometimes there is shellfish and it doesn't say that on the menu. Everything is delicious! Services, fantastic, and ambience is nice as well.

Came in for sushi. We are pretty basic when it comes to sushi. California Roll, Tiger Roll, Caterpillar Roll and Tempura. All of it was fantastic. Service was great.

Love At First Sight Roll
Liz J.

Ordered via Uber Eats. Love at first sight roll and nigiri were pretty good. The fish was fresh enough. The "Korean Spicy Chicken" was confusing because it's not at all what I was expecting. The description doesn't state that it's breaded and fried so I wasn't expecting that. And if you're going to call something "Korean" and fry it, it had better be crispy AF. It had a light coating of breading which is fine but it was not crispy at all. Korean fried chicken is usually a thicker breading and double fried. The use the dried whole chili peppers is more Chinese than Korean. I did taste some gochugang but that's about as Korean as it got. It's not a bad dish, it's just not that Korean. I would maybe try ordering some more sushi rolls but maybe not the "Korean" dishes.

Egg Drop Soup
John D.

Traveling out of our usual circle brought us here for dinner. We walked into a dimly lit store and greeted by the exuberant manager telling us to sit anywhere and following with menus. Complimentary egg drop soup and our drinks came next. A lot to choose from by we settled on a lobster roll and for entrees the Sizzling Beef & Thai Curry Chicken. The sizzling beef came out sizzling on a cast iron platter(think fajitas). It was well seasoned and tender with onion, mushrooms and white rice in the side. The Curry had a strong yellow curry flavor with tender chicken and loads of veggies. The Lobster Roll tasted fresh. Excellent service topped off the day. Glad we stopped and this place will see us frequently.

Hamachi carpaccio.  Tons of wasabi in the sauce; maybe ask for less?
Kate M.

Friendly service, and they seem pretty busy! One thing that brings up their rating is their portion sizes. I don't think I've seen such huge sizes before. Not exaggerating when I say 1 entree can feed for 3 meals. I was only interested in their sushi, so when we got them it was too much! Their rolls are pretty good, but I would stay away from sashimi or chirashi because you can taste the quality of the fish. And as you can imagine being landlocked, it's hard to get super fresh stuff. Rolls are delish, super filling, and totally looking forward to my next visit.

Cucumber Salad and Seaweed Salad with hot jasmine tea
Brian H.

I absolutely love this place. The service was top-notch, friendly and attentive. There is plenty of seating with nice, big booths and tables but it is not a huge place. The sushi and specialty rolls menu is amazing and creative. I took my whole family here and we ordered a lot of different things off the menu and everybody enjoyed their food. The sushi fish was extremely fresh and well portioned. Very competitive prices as well for Albuquerque. I also ordered the spicy Korean shrimp and I can honestly say I have never tasted anything like that and it was delicious. I just can't say enough good about this place. It has consistently stayed quality over the years.

Fantastic!!! We love to get to go sushi for nights in at home generous portions packed beautifully!! yes... to go can be beautiful!!

Solid sushi. Great prices. Good service. I can't say if it's the best sushi in ABQ. I haven't tried that many Sushi places here.

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!

Ordered 4 different…read morevegetarian rolls: the non-tempura veg roll, tempura green chile, tempura sweet potato, and avocado cream cheese. The tempura ones were the best. The vegetarian one was interesting - had spring mix in it! I had never had an avocado and cream cheese roll before. It was fine but it just felt like a lot of cream cheese. Four stars only because of the somewhat limited vegetarian sushi selection - I wish they'd add tofu, kampyo, or oshinko options. Another nice thing about it is that it's quite quiet - so nice for conversations, and there were other people there. It's nice when you don't feel like the only person not getting takeout! We'll definitely be back; it's probably our go-to now since the other place named Sushiya in the NE heights relocated to Bernalillo.

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

The food not too good not really bad, it's always consistently. . . okay. When we were leaving I walked past the host and said, thank you.

Not at a station where they cook it directly in front of you. Our meals included scallops, a couple of shrimp, veggies consisting of zucchini, mushrooms and onions. When they brought our food out that's when I thought something was wrong. Namely, it had a very strong and unpleasant fishy smell. Taste wise it did not taste at all fresh. Rather it tasted like something that should have been disposed of three days prior. Also, our rice did not taste fresh and neither did the mushrooms. Our daughter ordered a bowl of ramen and she said it was somewhat okay but that it tasted like they dumped an entire bottle of chili sauce in it which made it difficult to enjoy. We are not "those" kind of customers who complain about everything but if we weren't pressed for time due to having purchased tickets for a comedy show immediately after i would have requested a refund after having taken a couple of bites. Oh well, $130+ later and with an exceptionally strong case of nausea I have to report that we will not be dining here again. That said, the staff was very nice and I feel like they tried the best they could but the food was just not good. At least not the food that we ordered.

This was my first time getting takeout here, and overall, I came away pretty impressed…read more The person who took my order over the phone was very professional, and although I had to wait about 15 minutes longer than expected, the staff was quick and polite once my food was ready. The phone rang several times while I was waiting, so they may have been a little short-staffed that evening. The restaurant itself is really well decorated. Great lighting, good music, and a modern vibe make it a place that I'd definitely consider dining in next time. At $60 for three entrees, this is definitely on the more expensive side for an Asian restaurant. But I will say, the food was well worth both the wait and the extra cost. I had the Fried Rice with Pork, and the pork had fantastic flavor. There was also a generous amount of meat, which I always appreciate with fried rice. My daughter had the Chicken Teriyaki, and she loved it, which is saying something because she isn't always the easiest person to please! My wife enjoyed the Bulgogi Beef, although she did wish there had been a little more sauce. I will also add that each entree was an ample portion and everyone had a little left over. All in all, despite the longer-than-expected wait and higher price point, the quality of the food and the excellent service made it worthwhile. This might actually become our new favorite spot for quality asian food.
