They do have plenty of parking, but not knowing that we found street parking a few streets up. It's a walkable area though so that wasn't a problem Ambiance/ seating: The place is very laid back. Your order when you come in and the hostess gave us some good recommendations. There are several 2-4 top tables and it was open seating You do have to bus your own table but that's no problem Food: I had one of the bowl options and it was delicious ! It seemed like the perfect amount of food but was honestly so filling I couldn't finish it . It was perfect to give us energy to explore the area

I'd been looking forward to trying Soo Bak Seoul Bowl. It has an unassuming interior but it was…read morealmost filled with people, always a good sign. You order at the front, which is a minus to us, right off. We're paying restaurant prices ($40 for lunch for two) but it is fast food ordering. I ordered the Soo Bak Bowl with beef and a fried egg. Hubby ordered barbecued beef tacos. His looked good and he said they were okay. My Soo Bak Bowl was stone cold. First bite was sprouts, fresh out of refrigerator. I didn't care for it. I researched bebimbap and it said the rice should be lukewarm but the dish is a hot (temperature) dish. Otherwise, the tastes were fine. Not sure we will be back though.

The food has mainly classic Korean dishes nothing more like no Korean bbq on a table grill it could have lower prices possibly a $12- $16 range where they could do it buffett or cafeteria style since not servers for7 - 9 tables , then they could earn more when customers buy at the grocery store side of the restaurant, a Korean customer said this is the largest k grocery in NM but it's more like a convenience store with unique frozen foods.

I'm looking forward to the next time I can get myself over there to try more of their foods and will spread the word to get others there to support asap.

The lack of crowd…read moredidn't scare us off, but I was a little concerned when my husband's hot tea was brought out in a metal mug with a teabag - no teapot. I strayed from my typical order and favorite Korean dish of tteokbokki; decided to try the stir-fried noodles. Husband got the spicy beef plate. Both of us thought the food was greasy, and my noodles, though a generous portion, were quite bland. Our server was very attentive and polite, and the restaurant appeared clean, but husband left with a tummy ache from the oil. Could return and order differently, but I don't think we will.

Service was outstanding, above and beyond. We will be back to this cozy little restaurant again soon.

Solid place. Pretty…read moreroom with a good amount of seating for the space - but it's popular, so anticipate it might be crowded during peak hours. All staffers were friendly and working hard to make everything great. Owner on-site, pitching right in and circulating to make sure everything was delicious and going well. Delicious lagniappe samples (veggie pancake) every visit so far. Pricing was good for the quality and quantity of food delivered. And the food was just pretty great - not terribly piquant (if you're worried) or overly sweet, but with loads of nuance in ever morsel. MMM! As you've read, parking is a bit of a challenge, as is (as mentioned) seating - get there early or late if you don't want to deal with that.

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.

And sometimes when there's limited choice here I'll make do with what is available. Fortunately this place is great. You can order a single broth or a split pot. I usually go with the taiwan spicyy broth and one of the others. It's always good, regardless of what ingredients you order they'll pile the plate high. They offer tons of condiments and ice cream for desert. I've also ordered this as delivery which I thought was impossible. But they make it work. You order your broth (single flavor uless you get two orders of broth). You also order your ingredients and whatevder sides you want. I usually get beef, pork and meatballs. Rather than cooking yourself they come cooked in a container with a little brother and you add them at your leisure. I usually get the spicy chicken nuggets as a side and they are delicious. It's a huge portion of food and I almost always have leftovers. Great place!

First the food. It was absolutely fabulous. The appetizers were perfectly crispy and the sauce was not overpowering - they let the chicken do the talking. The broth was spicy but a little oily tasting. I was sweating the whole time which was awesome! The veggies, meats and mushrooms all had great flavor. This place was obviously using fresh ingredients. I'm sharing a copy of my bill so you can see that they itemize for things like the sauce/ ice cream bar as well as the cc fee. I like when restaurants do this because it means that they don't make everyone pay for things if they don't want those things. It means that this restaurant is going the extra mile to provide a good value. We were impressed and we'll be back for more awesome food and excellent service!
