Azuma Sushi & Teppan · Albuquerque
A longtime Albuquerque sushi-and-teppan restaurant with two locations, a full roll menu, and tableside teppan grills.
Shogun · Nob Hill
A Nob Hill Japanese restaurant serving sushi for over a decade, known locally for its sushi-boat carousel.
Japanese Kitchen Steakhouse, Teppanyaki & Sushi · Uptown
One of Albuquerque's longest-running sushi rooms, near Uptown, rated Excellent by Gil's Thrilling Blog. Beyond omakase, the kitchen builds signature rolls like the Green Earth and Jewel, plus an albacore-and-green-chile roll that nods to New Mexico. A traditional sushi bar with teppan seating that regulars have leaned on for years.
Sushi Gen · Northeast Heights
A San Mateo sushi bar that marked 20 years in 2024, reviewed by Gil's Thrilling Blog. Its New Mexico Roll wraps chile-battered shrimp for a local spin, and the menu runs deep on tempura and specialty rolls. A neighborhood-scale room that trades on consistency rather than trend, with generous portions at fair prices.
