No Soy Paper...But Best Sushi Bar in Albuquerque. This inconspicuous, corner sushi bar is attached to a Chinese restaurant. The tiny, well-decorated space is cozy and authentic. You truly forget you're in Albuquerque while the employees converse back and forth in Japanese.
I sat at the bar to watch the chef cook and it was great to watch him perform his art, as he truly pays attention to every detail. The special rolls are some of the cheapest I've come across in all my years of having sushi. All of the ingredients are fresh, (which is more than I can say for 80% of the other sushi bars in Albuquerque). The flavor combinations are excellent.
My only concern is that they do not have soy paper as an option, which rules out me bringing along a few guests who aren't accustomed to the nori. However, I believe Sushi-Hama is the best sushi bar in Albuquerque, good prices considered. Even if the rolls were more expensive though, I would still be a very frequent customer.
I need to come for happy hour... I came in for lunch with a friend the other day. We had one of their combination sushi entrees as well as an assortment of nigiri. The fish was fresh and delicious. The portions of fish for the nigiri was big, and it was obvious that they aren't your typical sushi joint that skimps out on the customer to save a buck. Excellent value. I'm curious to come back in for happy hour and compare. I'll be back quickly because I'm already craving another round here! I reccommended it to anyone looking for a great sushi fix.
Don't judge a book by its cover. First, i've passed this place many, many times, and pretty much ignored it due to the way it looked from the outside. After hearing about it, I took a deep breath and a chance, and entered. It was a very small place, but the sushi was quite good and fresh tasting. I ordered the sushi lunch combo and with 1 sushi chef, it took a little time, but all the nigiri sushi tasted great and the roll (simple California roll) was good, as well. The miso soup was tasty and the simple cucumber salad was refreshing. Overall, it was a very positive experience. I will have to try their happy hour for sushi one night. I recommend this place highly, especially for those in the NE heights area.
