“First time visit here ! Out server , Tim was excellent , very nice and welcoming . We had the OMG roll, Beef donburi bowl and mixed tempura ! All was delish ! We cleaned our plates 🤗. We will be back . I traveled from Bernalillo to meet my brother and his wife to celebrate their birthdays !!“

“Great staff, atmosphere, and food!“

“The food is wonderful! Each dish I order is always so flavorful and beautifully presented. The atmosphere is quite pleasant and relaxing, and the staff are very friendly and attentive, and provide excellent service! I highly recommend this restaurant!“

“First off, I love how hidden this place was And unsuspecting. We actually ended up here by accident trying to go to a next-door restaurant, when all the sudden we stumbled across this hidden gem. First things first, the Tonkatsu Ramen as well as the Udon Ramen were packed with and perfect texture. The tonkatsu was spicy! But good spicy not obnoxious.

We were also surprised how fresh the spicy tuna rolls were! Amazing - and we will be coming back here frequently!!! I am sold that this is the number one sushi spot in Albuquerque, which I was not anticipating to claim - But after trying Sushi from all over the world, I feel like this was the freshest and tastiest sushi I’ve had in town. Periodt. The orange desert on the house was a very thoughtful touch!!“

“Sushi is 🔥 great food go there you won’t be disappointed“

“Love the food and great service too. Highly recommend“

“Genuine Japanese and great little shop! A business to be supported“

“I definitely recommend if you want high quality sushi for a decent price.
The conveyor belt in my opinion is a good way to try each item on the menu and from there you should order from the menu, which is cheaper.
Either way, similar price to going out to eat at an Asian buffet but with much more sushi selection. Service is pretty good!“

“The best habachi food we have ever had. Our server was very patient and helpful. The plum wine was perfect. I had the lobster and scallops which were cooked to perfection. My daughter had the steak. We didn't realize that we forgot to take pictures because the food was that good. The portions are very big.“

“El mejor sushi de Albuquerque.“

“The staff went above and beyond to accommodate my son’s severe food allergies (dairy, egg, and peanut). They made sure his meal was completely safe, even preparing egg-free noodles and giving us an extra side at no charge. Because of their care, he was able to enjoy dinner out and feel included something that isn’t always possible for us. Truly grateful for their kindness and attention to detail!“

“The food was delicious and the staff was nice“

“Great waiter very kind and attentive“

“We discovered Asian Pear a couple of months ago and the food is really delicious and nutritious. I could eat it every day!“

“excelente servicio y excelente sabor 100% recomendado“

“esta muy deliciosa la comida“

“Ive onlybused the drive thru. This is one of the better locations. I will actually drive to this location than the one closer in my area. The food is better cooked and the service is quicker. This is my go-to place for a quick stop thru the drive thru. Staff is always friendly, and they have a well structured system that gets you in, out, and on your way without the long wait.“

“This place is amazing. The sushi chef is an artist. His work is beautiful, and tastes great. This is by far the best sushi I have ever tasted. When I first tried them he was using purple sweet potatoes, so some of his sushi was purple. It was beautiful and tastes so good. He was also using fruit. Which was visually pleasing and also gave a unique flavor. I really wish he would continue to make sushi his way. But even if he doesn't it is still the best I have ever had. Anywhere else I have been I have had to cover my sushi in feel sauce. Not here, it is so good on it's own. All I can say is YUMM!!!.“

“The food is very expensive. The chicken bowls used to be around $7-ish and now they are just under $13. The teriyaki chicken bowls are good and very healthy. You can no longer sit inside (since Covid) so it’s drive-thru only which is a bummer. But, I do like to get a teriyaki chicken bowls from time to time. Just know ahead of time that the prices have almost doubled and you cannot sit inside to eat. They also no longer serve sweet and sour chicken which was so good but they haven’t had that in quite a long time.“

“IMO, the best sushi restaurant in the Albuquerque area. I have gone dozens of times and have never once been disappointed. The food is amazing, the service is beyond welcoming and friendly, and the atmosphere is inviting. The chefs put out flawless entrees and appetizers. It's worth the drive if you live on the other side of town (or even the mountains) if you want the best sushi money can buy.“

“Excellent sushi at the mall, it’s a fact. Sushi Roller holds its own ground amongst the dozen+ restaurants in the food court as a premiere sushi roller, in Albuquerque and beyond. I went with their Cottonwood Roll and was not disappointed. Recommend this place to anyone who is able to stop by and likes sushi.“

“The waiter was amazing and very friendly! He was attentive and caring!! Thank you for a great experience for Mom and myself!! 🥰 thank you Wei Jei!!“

“The sushi roll and 25 piece sashimi were both really good. Fish tasted fresh and the sashimi pieces were generous and had nice textures. They served the sashimi platter with fresh wasabi which was a delicious surprise.

Staff was nice enough, but they really never came back to check on us or refill our water. I had to flag down another server to get more ginger. We were sitting at the sushi bar, so maybe that’s a part of it since our backs are turned.“

“Best in town, very friendly and food prepared quickly.“

“I recently ate at this amazing Thai restaurant. Food was amazing and the owner Charmaine is so gracious and spent time visiting our table! Highly recommend trying this restaurant on San Mateo! You sound be disappointed with the ample servings!“
