Noda's in Rio Rancho hands down. This is authentic Japenses food and sushi at its finest. My wife says it is better than anything she had in San Francisco!
We like Azuma on San Mateo for a nice balance of portion/price/quality and it has a Teppan grill if you want to go that direction. Also, Crazy Fish in Nob Hill has never disappointed us and has a nice ambiance. They have a seafood salad that's big enough to be shared as an opener and has big pieces of fish. Delicious!
I have to second Azuma for quality and service. We were told by the staff, that the restaurant is family-owned which is always great in my book. Even the gyoza we ordered as appetizer was delish.
I hope to go there again when I visit ABQ in the future. Hopefully sooner than later! I miss your city.
Ok well .. we went to Samurai aaaand didn't like it I am kinda mad for spending that much on Sushi that was not as fresh as it should be but well it happenend and we know better know.
I unfortunately had no internet connection and just saw the other restaurants you guys recommended.
My favorite's are The Sushi King downtown next to Tucano's and used to be Necco sushi on Coors and Irving, is now also Sushi King. I really, really like both! However, my sushi restaurant experience is limited. So thanks Mortimer for that extremely informative post!
Can't imagine going to ABQ and eating sushi. But that's just me.
I am sure others will know of a good place.
I'd agree with Towanda insofar as to note that, if you're just visiting Albuquerque, a tourist appetite would be much better served on the marvelous local fare of New Mexico. New Mexican and Southeastern cuisine is an entire culinary genre all its own, and a wonderful one at that.
However, I also "LOVE" sushi, and it's only fair to all inland seafood joints to note that, if you're willing to shoulder the price hike, many of said inland seafood joints have got the ability to store and transport their food so as to maintain a comparable freshness to coastal locales. Ah yes, the modern age.
If you love sushi (and are not a purist) You should try the green-chile rolls. They are often called by different names but all consist of a tempura chile in an otherwise traditional maki-roll
