    sizzling beef entree
    Genieen G.

    I'll say it every time and mean it... sushi xuan is hands down the best of the best in Abq when it comes to sushi! The service is always exceptional, The sushi is always fresh, and the food is always hot and made to order! It's a smaller location but that only adds the to charm and adds more of a reason to go. If you have not tried them yet... check them out!

    Chirashi don - mixed sashimi on rice (ordered delivery)
    Rachel M.

    Ordered via GrubHub with gift card. Packaging was smart, separating the ramen broth from the noodles to prevent over-saturation. Alas, I did not enjoy the black garlic tonkatsu ramen broth. The portion was very large, and they didn't skimp on chashu, but the broth was not my bag... Maybe it'll be yours? Also ordered chirashi don (12 pieces of mixed sashimi on rice). Included nice extras, like seaweed salad and imitation krab and tamago (egg)...but only one of the fresh fish impressed me.

    Quick update. The egg drop and hot and sour soup are very good. I find myself dining here at least once a week as it is the closest sushi place to my home and rather convenient. The brewery and dispensary in the same shopping center can sometimes make parking challenging, but a short walk to work off an excellent meal is not a bad thing. Eating at the bar is also an interesting experience since you get to meet the takeout customers and delivery drivers waiting for orders.

    My second favorite sushi joint! Phenomenal Hamachi with jalapeño. Just be aware that sometimes there is shellfish and it doesn't say that on the menu. Everything is delicious! Services, fantastic, and ambience is nice as well.

    Came in for sushi. We are pretty basic when it comes to sushi. California Roll, Tiger Roll, Caterpillar Roll and Tempura. All of it was fantastic. Service was great.

    Love At First Sight Roll
    Liz J.

    Ordered via Uber Eats. Love at first sight roll and nigiri were pretty good. The fish was fresh enough. The "Korean Spicy Chicken" was confusing because it's not at all what I was expecting. The description doesn't state that it's breaded and fried so I wasn't expecting that. And if you're going to call something "Korean" and fry it, it had better be crispy AF. It had a light coating of breading which is fine but it was not crispy at all. Korean fried chicken is usually a thicker breading and double fried. The use the dried whole chili peppers is more Chinese than Korean. I did taste some gochugang but that's about as Korean as it got. It's not a bad dish, it's just not that Korean. I would maybe try ordering some more sushi rolls but maybe not the "Korean" dishes.

    Egg Drop Soup
    John D.

    Traveling out of our usual circle brought us here for dinner. We walked into a dimly lit store and greeted by the exuberant manager telling us to sit anywhere and following with menus. Complimentary egg drop soup and our drinks came next. A lot to choose from by we settled on a lobster roll and for entrees the Sizzling Beef & Thai Curry Chicken. The sizzling beef came out sizzling on a cast iron platter(think fajitas). It was well seasoned and tender with onion, mushrooms and white rice in the side. The Curry had a strong yellow curry flavor with tender chicken and loads of veggies. The Lobster Roll tasted fresh. Excellent service topped off the day. Glad we stopped and this place will see us frequently.

    Cucumber Salad and Seaweed Salad with hot jasmine tea
    Brian H.

    I absolutely love this place. The service was top-notch, friendly and attentive. There is plenty of seating with nice, big booths and tables but it is not a huge place. The sushi and specialty rolls menu is amazing and creative. I took my whole family here and we ordered a lot of different things off the menu and everybody enjoyed their food. The sushi fish was extremely fresh and well portioned. Very competitive prices as well for Albuquerque. I also ordered the spicy Korean shrimp and I can honestly say I have never tasted anything like that and it was delicious. I just can't say enough good about this place. It has consistently stayed quality over the years.

    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!!!

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.

So we asked to check on it.

A friend joined our table a little bit late and she waited a long while for anyone to ask for her order. All the staff were on their phones and finally we went to the area where they all were and asked for help. The rolls I ordered were somewhat dry and completely fell apart on the plate without even touching them. Won't be returning.

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
