Sushi Gen Corp - (505) 830-0131

i am an asian. comparing to different japanese restaurants i have been in the u.s., this one is the worst so far. their rice could not reach any of my criterion. I like to sit in front of the sushi bar and see how the chef works on the food so that i can feel how the chef treats the food. I didn't see what i wanted to see or i have seen from the chef, which was love, respect and carefulness while preparing the food. this disappointed me most. my friend, who is an american loves this restaurant, but if you are sure you know what good sushi tastes like, don't go there.

My partner and I have been going to Sushi Gen since they opened and have not ever been disappointed. I have consistently found the rice to be proportionate to the size of the piece of fish, the fish to be wonderfully fresh and the all you can eat section large and satisfying. They do not have all you can eat sashimi, nor could they afford to for the prices that they charge. There simply would be no way to maintain the quality that they maintain at the price they charge if there were no rules or limits. So yes there is an eat what you order clause, and they bring you your order a roll or two at a time so that if you get full before your order is complete they wont have to charge you.

I have to say that this is the best sushi in town. This place should be called Sushi GEM instead of Sushi Gen because that's what it is, a real gem in a sea of lack luster sushi bars in Albuquerque. Everything is fresh, well prepared and you just can't beat the price. The wait staff is always friendly, courteous and helpful if you are a sushi novice and have any questions. I have never had a bad meal here. I have introduced many people to this restaurant. Everyone has loved it and couldn't wait to bring there friends to try it. The eel is truly out of this world and the crunch roll is a must try. They have a great selection of specialty rolls, as well as the traditional style of sushi, sashimi and appetizers. There is a bar, so you can enjoy watching the sushi being prepared, and tables and booths to enjoy the company of friends and family while having a great meal. The atmosphere is quiet and calm and the decor is understated but comfortable. It's not a fancy sushi joint but the food will have you coming back again and again. They offer an all you can eat sushi menu and a regular menu to order individual rolls, sushi and sashimi. The all you can eat menu does say that you will be a charge for any uneaten sushi including rice. But for the price, I think it's very fair deal.
