Stopped in on the way back from Cuervo. It's conveniently located a mile or so off the highway. The good: *The fish is extremely fresh and tasty *The service is friendly and efficient *The prices are reasonable (and you get 15% off if you check in) The bad: *Not the greatest neighborhood *Located in a strip mall next to a dog groomer *The decor is sorely outdated If you can make it past the shady area, location and lack of ambience, it is a winner on food merit alone. I had the crab rangoons, salmon and yellowtail sushi and soft she'll crab and crunchy roll and all were pretty dang tasty! read more

Saw Sushiya when I was going to Albertsons for some groceries. It's hidden in the corner of the Albertsons strip mall, but it's definitely worth stopping in. My girlfriend and I ordered the Sushi Chef's Entree which was 8 pieces of sushi and a tuna roll, then we added on a California roll and a bowl of egg drop soup and hot tea. The hot tea was very good. It was served loose leaf and had some rice in it which gave it an interesting taste. Both of the rolls and sushi were prepared very well and tasted great. I just came back from a 6 month stint in Los Angeles and this was as good as anything I could find there. The interior is very well maintained. Nothing was broken or cheap looking like you can find at some sushi/fusion places. The presentation was great. The prices were very reasonable. Our total came to $28 before tip for everything described above. I would definitely recommend and will be going back again. read more

We ordered 3 different things and about 4 different dishes as far as the sushi goes it was just ok I have not been too this place in a long while and now I remember why the entrees were small by most places standards and not not very well prepared it was like I wanted nice full flavors and got McDonald's in a sushi restaurant read more

Wow- I don't know what the person calling this "americanized" is thinking- we are in America, the California roll was begun in San Fran. ...... "rolls" as they are now are served all over the world- even in Spain you can get a cali roll.... And how the roll has modernized is a new art form. If sushi stayed like it was in 1910- Jiro would have never been the man he is- that's how I feel about Sushiya- modern, upbeat, and in my top Abq sushi joints. The establishment is clean, nicely lit and has a very fresh yet relaxed Asian zing to it. Most places a re drab and dark, Sushiya goes the opposite- light so you can see the quality sushi. I was slightly disappointed this go around- the Tuna was clean and well proportioned, the several different rolls we ordered were put together well- chef had good knife skills and the fish was all fresh cut. we're it was off was in the technique of the tempura- must have been a new chef because the rice layer was far too thin and it was obviously left too long- the tempura was soaked through the rice and the salmon inner was cooked beyond well- so it was just chewy and blamd. The rice as well was not washed properly I don't think- it was not seasoned in the least and you could taste it was a store bought cheap rice. So unfortunately this time around it was not the standard it used to be- but hopefully it was just an off night because typically this is a sure shot quality establishment. Oh- and to the one who doesn't know about green chile--- it's called marketing- playing to your clientel..... and Sushiya makes a very very good green Chile roll!!!! read more

Place didn't look like much from the outside. Was amazing food and service! Will definitely be back

Interesting little sushi place in a grocery store strip mall. It's next door to a bar and a dog grooming place (no jokes). Anywho....... the sushi was great. The place was pretty busy so the sushi took a few minutes but it was big portions and was all very tasty. Our server was quick and on top of things. Let's not forget, YELPERS get 15% off their bill. read more

William is the Sushi chef at Sushiya. He and his wife Heidi are the owners. All the soups are great. Sweet and Sour is my husband's favorite and mine is the miso. Try one of their specials of the day. They're located on the board as soon as you walk in the door. I really like the Monkey Balls. My husband LOVES the Pad Thai and the Bento Boxes. I only order sushi since it's the best sushi in Albuquerque. We've been to almost every sushi restaurant in Abq and this one is the best hands down! Our favorite thing to order is the Sushiya, which means whatever sushi roll William wants to make us. The Sushiyas are so good, you don't need to add wasabi or dip it in soy sauce. We also love the calamari, butter mignon, and the salmon salad with William's special sauce, Albacore sashimi, vegetable & shrimp tempora, among tons of other things! I enjoy the William loves what he does & it shows! Service is excellent. We have a 15 mo old. Everytime he makes a mess, as I start to clean up at least one staff member comes over to tell me not to worry about it that they'll clean it up after and it's no problem. If I continue to clean, they start helping me clean up too. I've never been to a restaurant where they were all so consistant in their service no matter who was working. read more

Great sushi in Albuquerque and on a Sunday can happen! Yum! Came for lunch, it was very quiet (just what I needed) and sat at the bar. Be sure to order the Buddha Belly roll. It was terrific! As was all of the sushi. And this may not seem like a big deal to some but the miso soup was also great and not too salty. I have been a bit under the weather and haven't eaten much the past week. I was looking for something clean and healthy and great tasting. I found it here. Great sushi with green tea, how could I go wrong. Will try to make it back before I leave town. Also, great service. read more

I enjoyed my lunch at Sushiya today. A friend and I ordered the Kung Pao chicken lunch ($6.95) and the "pick 2" sushi lunch special ($8.95). The Kung Pao chicken was hot and fresh. There was the perfect amount of food. I meant to take photos but I just started eating right away and forgot :( the lunch came with soup, rice, an egg roll and an orange. I ordered the shrimp tempura roll and it was a good sized roll. I think the 2 rolls for $8.95 was an excellent deal and I will be back. I have a couple sushi places that I like in town but this one is now on my go to list. I'll try to remember pictures next time! read more

I might have found my favorite sushi restaurant in the ABQ!! There is nothing better then after a strenuous hike having sushi and we will definitely be coming back here often for "Sushi Saturday" We started off with the hot and sour soup with the Squid Salad, OMG!!! Everyone must try the Squid Salad, it is delicious and unexpected for the ABQ area. The Buddha Belly, Flamingo and The Sushiya Roll/Chef's Special. All of the rolls were amazing!! The Chef's Special was interesting and impressive, the roll was playing with different textures and flavors. I really enjoyed it! Don't forget to check-in and get a 15% discount!! read more

The food: The sushi was good. It's your standard sushi but I think it lacked uniqueness in taste. Our shrimp tempura sushi had those crispy flakes on top and it tasted funny. It's not supposed to taste the way it tasted today. Every now and then I got the taste of staleness. The other sushi was good. We also ordered the Chocolate Trilogy which is a mousse type dessert. It was DELICIOUS! Must try!!! The service: our server was attentive and nice. read more

We came here for a second dinner 30 minutes before closing time and they were able to still sit us. We ordered the ceviche and the chirashi. We are from Dallas and there's a lot of good sushi there, so we didn't expect much coming here. But it is not bad if you are not spoiled by good sushi elsewhere. The value is pretty good. I am surprised you get a 15% discount by just checking in on Yelp. The ceviche is not the typical ceviche. It's basically a variety of raw fish with greens, topped with their eel sauce and mayo. It was ok. I wanted something refreshing. I think the chirashi was a good value. It was big with a lot of rice. I'll give it a 3 because of the service but the food is mediocre. read more

The staff is always friendly and the restaurant is clean and well kept. We have been here at least 5 times and are always stuffed and very happy. I usually get the Crab Rangoon and the Crunch Roll. My husband usually gets a California roll and Nigiri.

Comfortable restaurant. Service was excellent. Saki (clear) was delicious. The Bento BBQ pork needed more BBQ flavor. The Hunan chicken dish was well prepared, but needed more spice. Perhaps best to order Sushi over Asian dishes. Thanks for reading. The Bike Chaplain read more

I came here for dinner with a friend. The service was good and we had ordered the Crunchy roll, Eskimo Roll and the Buddha Belly Roll. Out of the three, I would definitely recommend Crunchy roll. The Buddha belly was also good but, not as good as the Crunchy roll. I will probably be back to try out more of their sushi. But, you should definitely give this place a try. read more

I dont recommended, the sushi was poorly built so every roll fell apart. The one roll was honestly so fishy we couldn't even stomach to swallow. I did however really enjoy the crab ragoon and the Caterpillar roll was pretty good. The waitress completely walked away from me twice while I was trying to ask a question. I'm a waitress and I don't think it was busy enough for the lack of service. We didn't get napkins after we asked, waited 10 minutes after our sushi arrived for soy sauce ramekins, and they never stopped by to see how everything turned out. As someone in the service industry I like to give people the benefit of the doubt, but they didn't even say goodbye. There were a bunch of other small inconveniences but not note worthy, for spending 80$ (not including tip) to not even take our food home was very disappointing. read more

They have the most light and fluffy fried rice!!! I instantly fell in love. The prawns with candied pecans was so delicious- I was sad when I was full, but even as a left over they were delicious. I was a little disappointed with the sesame shrimp- unlike the other entrees- it did not warn us that it was breaded, it was a heavier meal than anticipated with two battered proteins, but we know better for next time. There will definitely be a next time. read more

We went there last night as they were almost closing. They did have one other customer. The place smelled of cleaning solution. They should have waited until there were no customers to start their cleaning process. They did not have the A/C on so it was warm. A restaurant should never have carpet as it was dirty. The young waitresses had horrible music playing in the background which was not restaurant friendly. A song came on that was piercing to our ears and we were shocked that they would allow a song like that to play. Look up "Kurt Cobain bean song" on YouTube. I picked this place due to the yelp rating but I was so upset with myself for staying and ordering. We had just come from another sushi restaurant that had a 30 minute wait and this place was only a few minutes away so we took a chance. The food was just ok. They need to remodel and revamp their menu or at least taste their food before putting it on their menu. They also need to pick generic music instead of having young waitresses pick their own music. read more

Really good food. Service is friendly. Consistent. When they get something wrong, they fix it.

I didn't take any pictures - sorry! This place is my new go-to after tough days on the job. First, I sat at the sushi bar. While I tried to figure out what to eat, becuase it all looked awesome, the guy behind the bar made me a cool little salad, free. It was crunchy and amazing. Second, I asked for the "eskimo" roll without avocado, which I'm allergic to. "No problem!" But best of all, the entree I ordered, which I'm still dreaming about: Sesame shrimp. it was shrimp tempera in a sauce that was not too sweet, nice and ume, on a bed of broccoli. There was a bowl of rice on the side, but there was enough there without it and it was delish! If I can ever figure out what it's called I'll edit this. It's one of the best dishes I've ever had. The place was quiet, and low-key. The help was cheerful and friends. No hesitation about coming back there again...and again...and again... read more

So far, the best sushi place we've been to here. Fish is decent- could be a little more fresh but for the price, very good and large pieces. For example, tuna was a little stringy, but the seared ahi was pretty tender. We got the Love Boat for Two and two extra rolls (Nob Hills and Buddha Belly) and it was plennnnty of food. The Love Boat is a great deal for all that you get. The seaweed salad could be a little lighter and fresher, but the tempura was good. Both the "fancy" rolls were good, with Nob Hills giving more pieces so more bang for your buck. We ordered ahead through Yelp (powered by GrubHub) and it was super easy. read more

Love, love, love this little restaurant. We have tried a couple of other sushi restaurants in town, but this one has quickly become our favorite.

This is our favorite Sushi Place in Albuquerque and it also has a wide assortment of other dishes, even a Cajun plate. The owner, Vicky, often waits our table while her husband (also an owner of course) prepares the sushi. I order a mix of sushi rolls about half the time or one of the plates (which Vicky has learned I want double extra hot). There are many other sushi restaurants in town which I like (and a few that I don't) but we always make it back to Sushiya. read more

I can't understand all of the terrific reviews. I ordered delivery from this place and not only did I not get all the products I ordered, but had this been served to me in the restaurant it would have been sent back. They placed the sushi in with the hot food, and it tasted old. The beef teriyaki was half-inch pieces of rock hard, burned meat mixed with celery, onions and zucchini and a water, tasteless teriyaki sauce. Any good restaurant uses slices. I got three pieces of tempura, including the shrimp with sweet and sour dipping sauce. What?. I ordered crab ragoon and the sauce for it - also sweet and sour. The soup didn't arrive, even though the delivery said it would. Anyone who thinks this is a "great" place has never had this kind of food in any other city. read more

Ordered from these guys several times since the pandemic hit. I totally recommend placing your order online and going to pick up. Since it is sushi, you really don't want it sitting around for too long. They'll give you an ETA if you call. The one time we trusted a Grubhub dude, it came like 20-30 minutes late, and it wasn't nearly as good as the times we went to pickup. Love this place for their great sushi and their kitchen menu which is great for the folks who don't eat raw fish. read more

A perfect little hole in the wall! This is one of my families favorite restaurant. The quality of food is always so fresh, and full of such amazing flavors.

Why are there so many Japanese restaurants in Albuquerque that serve cuisine other than Japanese? Am I the only one who finds it strange to see hot and sour soup and kung pao chicken on the menu of a "Japanese" restaurant? That said, I come here pretty regularly since it is in my hood. In any larger city, the food at Sushiya would be pretty meh, but since we are in Albuquerque, it is okay. I have tried ordering the sushi here but the fish really isn't fresh. So I have been sticking to cooked fish and items from the kitchen. read more

C'mon, everyone, let's all eat here regularly and keep it in business! Located in an off-the-street strip mall (next to the Albertson's grocery store), it's not the most eye-catching location. It deserves better. The interior is beautiful and calming, with dark red walls and Asian lute music playing softly in the background. The restaurant bills itself as Asian Fusion (Japanese and Chinese), and it may very well be, but we were in the mood for Japanese food. The kids each got a bento box (beef teriyaki for son, tofu teriyaki for daughter), and spouse and I each got a sushi/sashimi sampler platter. The kids' bento boxes were not as elaborate as some we've come across, but the contents were well prepared. The tofu in particular was awesome: a very light deep-fried coating over extremely fresh smooth tofu cubes. The sushi and sashimi samplers were plentiful and extremely fresh. The prices were really good, too. The bento boxes, at lunchtime at least, were only $9. The samplers were in the $15-$18 range (I forget the exact amount), quite a good price for the amount and quality of what we received. We were waited upon by the sweetest young Chinese woman, and the sushi chef was Chinese too (I overheard them speaking Mandarin). Upon inquiry, we were told that the family is from Taiwan. This explains a lot. A silver lining of the Japanese occupation of Taiwan was the transferal of Japanese cuisine to Taiwan. The Taiwan people really know their raw fish. In retrospect, there *is* an indefinable aura about the preparation and presentation of the food that stamps it as Taiwanese Japanese. Come one, come all! Sushiya won't let you down. read more

We were driving by and seen the reviews on Yelp and thought we would give them a shot,we called 45 min ahead of time and were told that the food would be ready in 20. We got to the restaurant to pick up our food order and it was not ready. We stood there 20 additional minutes waiting on food. Pretty disappointed but after eating the food, we were happy. Had the dragon roll, Eskimo roll, hard rock and crunch roll. At the end of it all, this place was worth the wait. read more

Sushiya - Menu looks goo - Asian Fusion Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Decent sushi.. a little pricy but considering that I've missed any sort of Asian food since I've moved to NM, Sushiya hit the spot. Along with sushi, this place also serves up a wide array of americanized Chinese food as well which I thought was kind of funny. Anywayy.. My friend and I got the monkey balls to start - fried tempura mushrooms stuffed with some fish. These were pretty tasty! We also got the buddha belly roll (way too much going on in this roll, I even tasted some mustard?? mustard and rice... weird...), rainbow roll (pretty standard), and an order of albacore sashimi. All of the fish was quite fresh and nothing tasted off or smelled funny. Most of their special rolls seem to be some fish on top of a California roll so nothing too inventive. Portion sizes were ok and we also got our choice of hot and sour or egg drop soup. Service was friendly..ish and the restaurant spans a large space. A good place for a date if that's your thing or if you're just looking to fill the empty hole in your heart that SoCal has left when it comes to Asian food... :'( read more
