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

All of the furniture is quite worn out and tattered. The restaurant host seemed extremely unconvinced when we asked for a table for two. I said hello and his response was "how many."

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. He looked at me and then went back to texting. he said nothing

It's worth the price. I thought that the menu looked a little expensive, but the portions are huge…read more My friend and I shared the medium Happy Boat, one order of mackerel sashimi (basically a whole side of a fish!), and the banana tempura for dessert, and left extremely full and satisfied. The final price (paying with cash) was $102.32 before the tip, which seems very fair given the size of the portions and the quality. The fish was not the very highest quality, but it was very good. The wasabi was some of (if not) the best that I've ever had. The soy and eel sauces were made in-house, and were excellent. Presumably, the rest of the sauces were house-made as well. Leo was a very good and friendly server. The atmosphere was very relaxed but could be suitable for something fancier. The one thing that hurts is the price; as fair as it is, I do wish that it were a smidgen less.

When we arrived, the restaurant was very full, and we waited about 15 minutes for a table. Once…read moreseated, our table already had menus and water, so we began looking over the sushi options. The menu did not indicate any gluten-free items, so I planned to ask the server about modifications due to mine and my daughter's gluten allergy. We waited about 14 minutes and no one came to our table. My husband eventually flagged down a server. I explained that me and my daughter have a gluten allergy and asked what sushi rolls could be made gluten-free. He told us that almost anything could be modified, and that we just needed to let them know. I also asked about the seaweed salad, and he said it was gluten-free, it just had sesame seed oil. He then walked away. When we were ready to order, we had to flag down a different server. I again explained that both my daughter and I have a gluten allergy. She seemed knowledgeable and clearly explained what could and could not be modified. When I double-checked about the seaweed salad, she informed us that it was not gluten-free which directly contradicted what we were first told. We ordered the Chameleon Roll without crab mix (since it is not gluten-free) and two Alaskan rolls with no fish eggs, or sauce on top for the same reason. When our food arrived after nearly 46 minutes the presentation was nice, however I immediately noticed they had put the gluten-free items on the same boat as the non-gluten-free items with sauce dripping from the non-gluten-free items on both sides. Then as soon as I picked up a piece of the Chameleon Roll, I immediately noticed crab mix inside. Which we were told was not gluten free. I flagged the server down and pointed it out. She seemed unsure how to respond and went to get someone else. I explained the problem to the new waitress and she asked us to remove the Chameleon Roll from the boat so they could remake it without crab mix. The remake took another 15-20 minutes. By this point, we had been about an hour and a half. We were extremely disappointed, especially after carefully discussing gluten-free modifications multiple times. At that point, I no longer felt comfortable eating the food, so when the remade rolls arrived, I asked for everything to be boxed up. When we received the check, a 20% gratuity had been automatically added, although this was never mentioned on the menu. Overall, the entire evening was disappointing. We were really looking forward to trying this restaurant, but unfortunately, due to the service issues and lack of consistency regarding gluten-free accommodations, we will not be returning.

The sushi (a $20 roll, by the way) tasted similar to a roll from the grocery store. I hate to say that, but it was not the quality that a $20 roll should be.

For these reasons, I won't be returning, but the owner/manager lady was really sweet!

I guess we ordered so much, it came out in a boat. And I was delighted! Loved the salmon sashimi and the tiger tear roll the best. Definitely worth coming back for!

Despite that I could make this at home it was okay. It would be better with real crab, not the fake stuff. The rooster roll wrapped in a soy wrapper was a big sloppy mess. The poke bowl has nothing to do with poke. It's basically your choice of appetizer dumped on rice or greens. The coconut shrimp were dried out and tiny. The sweet shrimp had no flavor. This is what happens when gimmicky, "viral" food trends take over flavor and presentation. Probably won't try this again.

I like sushi places where you can see the sushi being made on the bar, as with this place. I immediately used the restroom, and it was clean. We enjoyed some soup before we ordered off the sushi menu. We ordered some Scottish salmon nigiri (8), and tuna (2). Those came out before the other rolls. The Scottish salmon is where it's all at for me. It is so damn good. Our other rolls trickled out two by two. We ate until we were stuffed. We got a to-go container and piled the rest in. We left there full and very satisfied.

I ordered an egg drop soup, pretty good but the top was broken open which caused a mess in the bag and it got on other food. The walnut shrimp was below it and caved in top. The walnut shrimp was pretty good( could have been crispier). We also tried the coffee chicken which had a subtle coffee flavor and was pretty good. The egg rolls were decent. We had an order of the tempura soft shell crab & veggie dish. A bit salty but good. I ended with ordering a key lime pie(very sweet & not worthy of an $8 price tag). I have to say the young man helping me out felt bad and threw in an extra key lime pie. The place had many tables occupied but it was comfy atmosphere. Received white rice but ordered fried.

He went to the back to get a clean cutting board and knife and changed his gloves, which I really appreciated. Unfortunately, the other employee working with him did not seem to take my gluten allergy seriously. As my order was being prepared, he reached in front of the other employee and used his gloved hands instead of the serving spoons to grab items. He started with the crab (which is gluten-free) and then grabbed other items, cross-contaminating everything. When I noticed this, I asked that my food not be taken from those containers due to cross contamination. The employee preparing my food was very kind and went to get fresh containers. I watched my meal being made and felt comfortable eating it. Everything seemed safe, and the food was really good! I was just disappointed that one employee did not take cross contamination seriously. Since the menu is clearly marked with gluten-free items, I would expect staff to be properly educated on cross contamination.
