    Finally found a Korean market that had inventory of roasted corn tea. Only one was cold, but was able to buy more from the box ready to be shelved. $8.97 for 3 bottles. $2.99/bottle. They only had giant bottles of sriracha, only need a small bottle for the kimbap tonight. The kimbap here looks decent.

    Great little Asian market with delicious Korean food tucked away in a strip mall. Several tables against one wall for lunch with a nice selection of choices. We enjoyed the Korean sushi rolls, seafood & Green Onion pancake, spicy tofu soup, and grilled mackerel. It was all delicious and worth coming back to enjoy again. They also have water, hot tea, and bottled beverages.

    After watching some travel shows about Korean street food, I went on a hunt to find food worthy of a review. This 'restaurant' is nothing more than a 3 table hole in the wall inside a very friendly Korean supermarket. Asking the cashier/ owner if they serve food, she offered me the menu, and asked if I wanted to eat in or to go. I stayed, ordered the Spicy Squid (Medium spiciness) and she offered me tea and a seat. The food came, I snapped a quick pick as it was the perfect site. Not going to lie, I was so enthralled with eating it, I bit the inside of my cheek because I couldn't slow my rate of eating it! The tastes were on par with any of the familiar tastes of mom's cooking and for the price, along with amount, this place has me very happy and wanting to arrange another visit. Definitely go and don't be shy in talking to the cashier, she will help in more than one way, no matter which person you chat with.

    Kimbap!

    In a pinch for time I was trying to meet someone before another engagement I had planned. The first…read moretwo places we had gone were a bust so on whim we decided to check this place. At first it appeared as just an oriental market. We then discovered there was a small restaurant in the back serving hot foods. My stomach was empty but I wanted something light. They had some fried dumplings that sounded interesting. It was right up my alley for a quick snack. When I inquired if it had any pork or chicken I was informed it was vegetables. I was like ok I can work with that. When it came out I was a bit caught off guard. I guess I was expecting more round plump dumplings but instead they appeared more like pot stickers. I took my first bite. It was very bland. I dipped it in the sauce it came it. The sauce overpowered the veggies and it was ok but still very bland. I wasn't too impressed. They offered a lot of items on the menu mostly consisting of pork so I didn't venture too deep. Personally I'm a not a big fan of pork but if that's what you're into than this may be the place for you. Honestly you'd probably have a better experience than I did. Overall it was an ok experience. The restaurant was very small. The staff was friendly. For me it was nothing to write home about. I can at least say I gave it a try but it was not for me. I probably won't be returning.

    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.
