“Golden Dragon Roll is my favorite. To bad I have to drive from Farmington.“

“Great chicken fried rice!“

“Great staff, atmosphere, and food!“

“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 !!“

“Sushi Gen was an absolutely wonderful experience. The ambiance was nice and calm, service was quick and the restaurant was super clean. Our server Sven was a badass dude, very attentive and polite. The all you can eat was definitely worth it. I went in so hungry that I could've chewed the crotch off of a ragdoll and left with a 7 month food baby. Sashimi was pretty bomb.“

“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!“

“Great sushi. We got three rolls- the salmon and avocado, the sushibuck, and the rainbow. All of them were presented well and tightly rolled with generous protein and topping portions. Miso soup starter is good. The atmosphere inside is comfortable and welcoming. Quick and friendly service. We will be returning for more. Thank you“

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

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

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

“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.“

“This place was a lot of fun. Was it the best Sushi I've ever had? No, of course not. But having a train of sushi plates steam past you while sitting at you table was just plain fun. The variety of options available was actually pretty diverse. Also, there is a small menu you can order from if you would prefer to have a full sizes roll.

Each plate on the Sushi train has two pieces and each plate is $3.50. My wife and I ate to our hearts content for about $60. That cheaper than any sushi date I've ever been on.

Staff was awesome and the restaurant was clean. Also watching the kitchen crank out sushi was impressive. For a Saturday night, the place was only about half full and there was still plenty of sushi options.

If I have one point of contention, it was, of all things, the Philly roll. I am used to the cream cheese being in side the roll. Sushi fever had huge gobs of it on top that made it off putting and difficult to eat. But if my only complaint is that the most basic roll was unconventional, that won't keep me from return again.

Give this place a try and have fun. It is also very kid friendly.“

“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!“

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

“El mejor sushi de Albuquerque.“

“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.“

“The food was delicious and the staff was nice“

“This place is by far the best sushi restaurant I have been to in a very long time. Being from Southern California, my wife and I can easily say this place is better than a lot of places in California. Our server was great, we didn't even know she was the owner till almost the end of the night. I found my new favorite sushi spot and highly recommend it.“

“Great waiter very kind and attentive“

“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.“

“excelente servicio y excelente sabor 100% recomendado“

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

“esta muy deliciosa la comida“

“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!!!.“

“It's been a while since I'd been there. Prices have gone way up! But the portion sizes have remained the same, or maybe a little bigger. chicken bowl is larger than I remember, but the other item wr ordered, teriyaki chicken and fries, was a ton of fries and minimal chicken.

Food is still good, but I'm just not sure it's worth the $13 for the signature food item, chicken bowl.“

“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!!“

“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!“

“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.“

“It was my first time trying Oni ramen for lunch. I ordered ramen noodles and beef dumplings from special menu list. I liked sitting at the bar facing busy kitchen and listening to music. It was a first winter day in Albuquerque, gloomy and rainy, - so the cosy warmth of the restaurant with rich hot ramen broth brought comfort to my soul. I will definitely come back to try regular items on the menu“

“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.“
