Food was delicious! My boyfriend and I did the all you can eat sashimi option. We ordered so many rolls, sashimi and nigiri! I am definitely coming back

Great little sushi spot that offers all you can eat. I've been coming here for twenty years and I love it every time. You're not going to be blown away by the ambiance but the food is always tasty. A great spot for your sushi fix.

Yes!

I hadn't been to this place in years and decided to return. The only reason I hadn't been back is that I moved out of Albuquerque. My absence from this restaurant has nothing to do with the restaurant. It was as good as I remember. The building is in an old strip mall and is a little dated. However, this is a non-issue if you want all you can eat sushi at a low price. This place does deliver on value. The sushi is really good and high-quality. There is a decent selection on the all you can eat deal. There are beer and desert options for an additional charge. The service was quick. I try to stay out of Albuquerque, but if I'm in the area, this place is definitely a restaurant I wouldn't mind returning to.

So who doesn't like sushi? Well we do and AYCE is good find. Spoiler alert: this does not reach the same level as some of the other more upscale restaurants. Sushi Gen fills a niche - a lot of delicious sushi without having to max out a credit card. Our selection was varied - Soft Shell Crab Roll, Spicy Tuna tempura (the whole roll is lightly tempura fried), California roll and 3 other house special rolls -yes 6 rolls. Each roll we ate was made to order. So maybe not your A-list place but we didn't regret the stop. Plus remember I said 6 rolls? $55 for 2 including drinks. Of course it would have been the same price for 8 or 10 rolls, and adding sashimi. So stop by and satisfy your sushi craving.

The all you can eat menu was lacking and the sushi was pretty bland. Our server was great though.

I have visited Tamashi a few times and and just now getting to my review…read more I want to preface this by saying that they should have a five star review, but finish my reading this and you will see why. It is not the biggest restaurant, and is popular, so I would recommend being prepared to wait during "popular busy time" but it is so worth the wait. So I also recommend waiting. The staff is always pretty friendly and accommodating. I shared an app, a roll and an order of salmon sashimi with a friend on both visits. The food is always fresh, and delicious! I never feel like I am being overcharged for what I get either. Going to eat for sushi can feel like that sometimes. The quality of the food is great and everything is always aesthetically pleasing as well. I had their avocado bomb on my last visit and I was delightfully surprised with it. I like avocado in most cases, but sometimes, it can be a lot at one. I thought this was going to be like that when I saw it, but I was wrong. I look forward to getting one of these on my next visit! On my last visit my friend and I saved room for a dessert, one that we saw rotating on their screens that they have in the restaurant showcasing some of the menu items. It was a take on a bananas foster. It looked delicious but alas, we'll see if we can manage to get it next time. Note to self, have dessert first on next visit?

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.

I may have just ordered from them on a bad night the last time. This time the food was better. I…read moreonly ordered two special rolls and the rest were nigiri, tofu puffs and Monkey Balls. The two rolls I ordered were better than last time. One was The Green Dragon (i think) using Avacado instead of seaweed. The other was Lobster Dance which is scallops and lobster. The Green dragon was okay. The Lobster Dance would have been a lot better without the overpowering sauce. The nigir were okay, but I prefer my nigiri to not have a lot sauce and all three I ordered were heavily covcered in their cloying (oyster based?) sauce. The Monkey Balls were meh, I've had way better here. The Seaweed Salad was excellent which I think was true last time. I guess I still need to try the in restaurant experience, but based on the food alone I'm not sure it would be great. If anyone has a great place they like let me know!!!

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.

"Grilled marinated chicken tossed in a sweet-homemade teriyaki sauce." The menu says nothing about the chicken being coated in a "light batter." I called the restaurant told them that I was expecting just grilled marinated chicken, not with a batter. The gentleman who answered the phone, said they've been meaning to take that off the menu. I've seen this item on the Grubhub and restaurant menu before, just didn't order it, and it never said anything about it being battered. So, apparently it's not all that important to change being as the description hasn't changed in all these months. My order was refunded, and I greatly appreciate that, I now need to find something else to eat tonight. Had I been physically able to get in my car, and drive to the restaurant to ask how they prepare their food I would've done that instead of going through a delivery service.

(We kept noticing tables asking for utensils to eat their food as their food came out but they would sit there waiting for someone to come by with plates napkins and chopsticks) This place is usually known for their fast service but today we waited 30 minutes after they had taken our menu and noticed other tables got their food first. So we asked to check on it. The server realized something happened and told us the food was coming out now it was going to be free of charge which was sweet on Her end However, We just got home because we couldn't wait and eat the location anymore and we noticed it's not our order. And or we are missing items? The sashimi on the menu says 3 pcs an order there's only two rice with big chunks of salmon dumplings we actually didn't order We ordered sushi with jalapeños we don't see it and again just not what we ordered.

We waited at least 20-30 min to place our second order which was for two rolls and tuna tataki appetizer. Rolls came out pretty quickly... tuna never arrived. Either the place is understaffed, it's an AYCE tactic to save money or it was just our waitress? Not sure but for AYCE slow service is a deal breaker.

My boyfriend and I came for dinner and the place wasn't very busy, but it they place was ransacked. Almost every booth and seating needed to be bussed.

The system is set up pretty easy to understand, I think it was by the amount of pieces on the plate. Overall the sushi options on the conveyor belt were okay, a lot of them had a similar flavor profile. I also ordered a salmon nigiri, but was gravely disappointed. The salmon didn't look that great. I went ahead and had a piece and immediately regretted it. The salmon was stringy and it didn't want break apart. I didn't have another bite or the second piece. The pistachio ice cream was a saving grace and a fortunate way to end our meal.
