This was for takeout, but based on this order I don't plan on visiting the restaurant. The only thing I'd order again would be the Ninja nachos which are fried wonton loaded with a variety of fish and a spicy sauce. 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. read more

I normally go to the one on Academy and Wyoming I'm typically pretty predictable, whenever I go to Sushi Freak, I always get the fist bump. It's the best. What isn't to love? Seaweed, sushi rice, cream cheese, tempura shrimp, Spicy tuna,, cucumber, imitation crab, phenomenal. I did, however, try the Waikiki. It was phenomenal. The staff is very helpful and friendly. I like the atmosphere, and the seating area is always pretty clean and and nice. read more

before today, the last time i had been here was closer to when it had opened. It had always been very yummy up to this point, unfortunately today the environment, especially the cashier area, was extremely dirty looking, and my simple crunchy roll was very loosely rolled, falling apart, and rice was extremely soggy. Very disappointing :( read more

I decided to give this place another try but was disappointed again with how they handle gluten-free orders. While their menu is marked with gluten-free options, the staff doesn't seem to take it seriously. I informed the woman helping me that I had a gluten allergy, she did change her gloves but not the utensils and she got the fish and veggies from the same containers they use for regular orders. She did not take any extra precautions. She made my roll on the counter behind her, but it wasn't cleaned before she started -- she just placed the sushi down directly on it. It's really frustrating that they offer gluten-free options but don't take the necessary steps to prevent cross-contamination. I ended up deciding not to eat it once I got home because I didn't want to risk getting sick. Very disappointing. read more

Love love love my 2 rolls: I ordered a California and Spicy Tuna roll to go. This place is located right off Louisiana, next to a Starbucks. You can order a bowl, burrito and many different rolls. It's pretty quick, efficient and the rolls are delicious! $7.95 for the California roll and $8.95 for Spicy Tuna roll. Enjoyed the rolls, thanks for the extra ginger! read more

I'm not much a sushi guy, but I really like what I've had here! Service is quick and friendly! I've gotten a crunch roll and tempura and really enjoyed it, the price is great too! The ambiance is very casual, definitely a place to hang with friends for a quick dinner. read more

I'm honestly sad to write this review I love sushi freak. I have a shrimp allergy so I never order anything with shrimp in it. They're usually really careful and don't have cross contamination. Well yesterday I ordered a gun show sushi burrito. This is the ingredient list seaweed, salmon, tuna, ebi, krab mix, avocado, cucumber, masago, spicy mayo, unagi sauce & mango sauce. This is from their online ordering system and menu. It does not say shrimp in there. Well I was eating my burrito and pulled out two large pieces of shrimp. Luckily I had my medicine with me or this could have been a lot worse. read more

Ordered delivery and was impressed. The prices are fair and the food was great! I ordered the crunch roll and the caterpillar roll - both were packed with flavor and fresh. Gyoza was excellent, but wish it came with a different sauce. I also ordered a green chile egg roll and this was the best thing ever! Definitely recommend. The gyoza and the egg roll were in the same container with a wasabi sauce so I'm not sure which actually gets that sauce but it was not my favorite sauce. The miso soup was ok, I wouldn't order again as it lacked flavor and was kind of bland. Overall would order from here again! Lots of options on the menu! read more

I just gave birth and my husband ordered me sushi to celebrate. I ordered 2 California rolls, a NM roll and a crunch roll. It was picked up within 10 min of being ordered yet looked like the sushi had been sitting out for hours. The rice was soggy and it was extremely unappealing and the California rolls had a sour taste and smell. I called right away to complain and was told to take pictures, toss the food and wait until the manager returned to call about a refund. I called the next day and was unable to reach the manager and was told he would reach out as my info was passed on to him. Never received a call so I tried again the next morning. I finally got a hold it the manager, Ken, and he said he would look into it for me. He then hung up on me. I waited to see if he would call me back. Nope. So I tried to call again. I attempted to call multiple times and the call wouldn't go through and would immediately disconnect. I tried blocking my number (*67) and calling again and it went through. THIS GUY BLOCKED MY NUMBER!!! What kind of management is this? When finally speaking to Ken again, he informed me I should've brought the sushi back right away which I told him I tried but was told to take pictures and throw it away and call him for assistance when he returned. Ken refused to solve the issue and didn't care to see the pictures I took of the sushi. He refused to refund us for the inedible food. So basically my husband paid $50 for us to throw it directly in the trash. Avoid the uptown location at all costs. Ken is rude and unwilling to make things right when they fail to meet expectations of the quality or taste of the food you order. Their Wyoming location is 100% better. read more

They messed up both items I ordered. I used Grubhub... maybe it's better in person, because I at least could get my order fixed. The teriyaki chicken didn't have sauce (like the picture) and the bowl I ordered had chicken instead of tuna... I also ordered the spring mix but they gave me half spring mix and half rice. I didn't want rice on that order. The chicken was bland. The lettuce was at least healthy looking (with the exception of a few pieces). There was barely any vinaigrette on my salad .... Even if the order was right, it wasn't good. Maybe teriyaki sauce would have hidden the whole dish. Maybe I'm lucky I didn't get raw fish from this place as they aren't good with details... so maybe not so good with raw food handling. read more

Sushi Freak isn't bad for fast food sushi. Think Subway or Chipotle where you can watch the rolls being made as you order them and check out. It's quick and decent. I had a Rooster Roll (soy paper, teriyaki chicken, spring mix, avocado, daikon sprouts, wasabi mayo, and tempura crunch) and a Waikiki Roll (seaweed, coconut shrimp, mango, cream cheese, and topped with toasted shredded coconut and unagi sauce). I didn't much care for the Rooster Roll, and it fell apart the moment I tried to eat a piece. The Waikiki Roll was enjoyable, and I hadn't had toasted shredded coconut on a roll before. I enjoyed the mix of mango and cream cheese. I'd get it again. The service wasn't great. The cashier said they would bring the rolls to our table, but then just called out our orders when they were ready and we went up to get it. Not sure why they're asking for tips (with four suggested amounts upon checkout) if you order at the counter and pick up your food, but such is the state of food service nowadays. read more

I'm giving 4 stars because everything I ordered was delicious. The Kookmeyer burrito with calamari, jalapeños, cream cheese, rice, avacado wrapped in seaweed was ao yummy The Philadelphia roll was good too. I really liked the green Chile egg roll. I wasn't real impressed with the menu. A lot of the rolls had Krab which is just white fish soaked in crab oil. I'm not a fan. I have another sushi place I like where I get more food for less money so I'm not sure if I'll be back. read more

I love a good sushi joint. Needless to say I've had my eye on this place for quite some time now. My sister came to visit from Texas and wanted McAlister's but I what I really wanted was some sushi. Hungry and desperate I got food from both figured I'd have my cake and eat it too. Walking in I appreciates the giant menu screen within view from the line. I was able to make my selection instantly. Going with the old school Philadelphia roll. Those are my favorite classic sushi rolls! They had it ready by the time I paid my meal at the cash register. The staff was friendly, all wearing masks and gloves! The roll was so good! It made up for such a disappointing experience at McAlister's. I was so glad I finally got to try them and just in time since by the time I got back out meal still wasn't ready so least i got to snack on it while I waited. Sushi Freak I'll definitely be back! read more

I LOVE Sushi Freak. I am currently in school in the Uptown neighborhood and it is my 'Go-To' lunch place. It's affordable and the food is delicious! Owner Brian, makes everyone feel welcome and keeps tings running smoothly. I highly recomend the build your own Poké Bowl.

The food and service are great.

He is said to be a family friend of the owners but his presence is disturbing and uncomfortable. read more

I have been here twice and both times the service was great and the food was good. Recently they went to soy packets and they did not have the option of low sodium soy which was a disappointment since I don't like a lot of salt. read more

The difference in service and quality between the uptown location and the Wyoming location is astounding! These two stores shouldn't even claim to be affiliated. At the Wyoming location I can get a poke bowl with spicy tuna and crab salad with toppings like seaweed salad, cucumber salad, edamame, avocado for $14. The same bowl at Uptown is $22! Extra charges for everything, nothing is included and no one explained or said what I could get on my bowl until she rang up $22. I was shocked. I'm one person. I could have gotten something WAY better for $22. I feel totally taken advantage of. read more

I love this place and go quite a bit. So much I have there reward program where every tenth roll you buy you get a free one or so I thought. Went in today to get my free roll for lunch and they couldn't figure out how to do it. They made the roll and kept it from me saying they can't approve it because the computer has a glitch. Instead of just giving me the roll they said next you come in you can get it. What a joke. This type of customer service is something that will keep me away from this place. Don't be in the customer service industry if you are not good with people. I felt sorry for the poor cashier the manager or owner couldn't help her and she just looked at me saying sorry. Your managers are sorry. read more

Pretty OK The food is okay, but if you want a custom roll, the prices seem quite high. It seems to me that the standard menu contains too much cream cheese, and that everything has to have imitation crab in it. But I don't want to pay for a custom roll, so I get whatever I can that doesn't have cream cheese in it. And I thought I managed to order a roll that didn't have imitation crab, but it was there, lurking. The service is okay. There isn't a place to pick up to go orders specifically, so you have to wait in line behind the dine In customers. When I was there, I was behind a fussy family, and they wanted special cups and extra cutlery and more sauce and on and on. The counter server was very helpful, but I was standing there for a pick up order (which was already ready, just sitting there the entire time) for ten minutes, so maybe they could streamline that process. read more

The ambience reminded me of a fast food restaurant, it even had the menu posted above the cash register just like a fast food restaurant. The menu was extremely limited, the service was horrendously poor. The food quality was hands down the worst I've ever eaten in Albuquerque, NM. If you want to eat sushi . . . don't eat at Sushi Freak, because it will down right freak you out. There was even something on the menu (if you can call it a menu) called a Sushi Burrito. I'm not kidding . . . seriously a Sushi Burrito. read more

I like the idea of this place & appreciate that the food is made directly in front of you as you order it. However, I am not sure I would return after today. I watched the servers make three groups' orders in front of me (and then mine) without changing gloves... touching all the condiments and fish options, going from rice to meat and then back to rice, included one person turning to the side and coughing into their elbow- without changing gloves or washing hands. I mentioned it but was waved off, not sure they understood what I was saying? I didn't want to make a scene or anything, but I couldn't enjoy my food because of this.. We also purchased some of the bagged Japanese candy on the wall, which was very good. It's a very casual seating area inside, with booths and stools. You can also order online. Apparently the sushi burritos are good. read more

Man. I used to love this place. But now they officially suck. If the older Asian gentleman is there, you can get decent service but otherwise, it's a no go. And if you order via DoorDash, you're totally screwed. I ordered a create your own roll with raw salmon and no wasabi or ginger. It came with no salmon and lots of wasabi and ginger... all over everything. I'm also Keto so I also get my rolls without rice. It used to not be a problem and was the exact reason why I frequented this place. Now it's always eyerolls and sometimes they try to sneak it in to close the roll. Um... what? Can't you use the crab or avocado that you used last time to close it? All of the rolls - even the regular ones at everyone else's tables - have been MUCH smaller lately too yet the same price. My recommendation? A lot of other sushi places now offer sashimi and cucumber wrapped rolls for Keto. This place has lost its charm. read more

Big fan of Sushi Freak. Love the Waikiki and Rockstar rolls. Everything made fresh to order with quality ingredients.

Terrible food, someone we know described it as fast food sushi?? We love sushi and are very familiar with the quality or lack of when it comes to sushi. The staff was not friendly, they charge you for every little thing and the food is not good. We will never be back. read more

really disappointing salad for $11. probably better off going to poki poki cevicheria if you're looking for a poke bowl. might be a little more, but you also get a lot more. here you get one protein and two toppings. any more than two toppings is additional. even the crunch topping is extra. like.. what?? seriously? read more

Love the sushi here, this is my go to sushi spot. There are a lot of customization options and SUSHI BURRITOS! Pretty good for those who are new to sushi. Can be a bit pricey if you have a big appetite. Side dishes are also really tasty! They have a modern ambiance with a large snack shelf to look at while you wait in line. There is some seating but it can get full. It's a bit small but has some outside seating as well. Service is good, they are really fast and polite. The girl at the register is supper friendly every time I go in! Overall highly recommend for your sushi fix! read more

Surprisingly good for quick to go sushi! When ordered the chefs make it right in front of you. Dining is definitely not fancy because again, it's more of a quick lunch stop but the taste is there. Great quality and great options. However, seems like they were training a new person so completing the order was a bit confusing and slow but once we figured it out, it was chill. read more

Very decent visit. Not horribly bad but not stupendously good. I was hoping the ninja nachos would take my soul right out of my body. Instead I left the establishment feeling decently full. Ninja nachos were in fact demolished by my mouth. However I was left with soggy wontons at the bottom of the bowl. The sushi barista was a little shy with the spicy salmon but very generous with the shredded crab. Thank you sushi freak for the most decent and mediocre visit! read more

My fellow yelp reviewer, Clarissa M, and I stopped by for a fatty burrito after a tough leg day. This burrito definitely helped to repair some damaged muscle tissue!!

Also, my fellow compadre had a couple soggy wonton chips Lastly, the automatic miso soup machine is kinda off-putting. read more

So this is the second time that I have come to this restaurant. I usually don't like to make judgments immediately so I tried it again. The first time I had the sushi nachos and they were horrific. Victor seem to love the sushi burrito I was not a fan. So this time I kept it simple and got a tuna roll. The size is pretty decent but it was rolled sloppy. The spicy tuna was very mushy and all I could taste was this sweet sauce and a bit of spice. I guess my expectations were a bit higher for a fast food Sushi place. Won't be going back nor would I recommend it. If you're in the area and looking for sushi, Japanese kitchen is right across the street. read more

Hadn't been yet and heard it was great so decided to try! Not the best sushi at all in my opinion. I couldn't finish it. I personally did not enjoy it. Neither did my partner. It tasted very fishy and the texture I didn't like. I personally prefer Sushi Hana! We also ordered the Edamame. They were just pooped into the microwave. No seasoning. My partner even said she had better sushi from Jersey Jacks at unmh....... seems like a cute cool concept and people seem to enjoy it. We however did not. I may go back & try again but not so sure. read more

Tried the sunny Cali and it was delicious! Servers were kind. The tables were clean. Will be back soon :)

Sushi, fast food style. Order at the counter, pay for it at the end of the counter, and they call your order when it's ready. We had California rolls, spicy tuna, and a dragon. Although it won't get rolled as tight as if it was done by a master sushi chef, they hold together long enough to get to your mouth! read more

I placed a $60 order, and the item for my kid was incorrect. Not a big deal, it happens. Upon returning to the store, I received a less than gracious response from the store supervisor. The person also made me feel like the issue was MY problem, not theirs. He also had the audacity to say that the replacement roll (done correctly this time), was comped. Excuse me, I PAID for the roll, and your employees didn't get it right. You aren't doing me a favor by providing me the correct food I ordered!!! I think the store manager is in some immediate need of remedial customer service training, because it was certainly lacking. To point out the obvious, you aren't the only sushi restaurant around , so I'd suggest upping your customer facing skill set immediately. read more
