The menu is a polished combination of Chinese and Japanese classics, with twists—and some entire dishes—you probably haven’t seen before. The sushi is unique, with many of the rolls forsaking seaweed in favor of thin-sliced cucumber or soy paper wrappings. They are drizzled with sauces, piled high with colored flying fish roes and artfully arranged with extra touches. The hot and sour soup is one of the best in Albuquerque—clear and light, with a complexity of texture and flavor. Elsewhere on the menu, a lineup of cooked vegetable dishes are dressed in several excellent housemade sauces. Vegetarians can add tofu to any of the vegetable dishes for $1—it comes crispy, kung pao style or as a buttered tofu steak with teriyaki sauce. (Alibi Staff, August 11, 2010)

Father's Day Sushi [ Mon Jun 20 2011 4:26 PM ]

Eating out on Father's Day is always a little tough. My first choice is always sushi. It just makes me happy. Raw fish and a Sapporo beer. Unfortunately it seems that most Sushi restaurants in Albuquerque are closed on Sunday, so we tend to grope for the ones that are open for the Sunday holidays like Mother's and Father's Day.. This year we tried Sushiya for the first time.
On arrival, I was disappointed to learn that Sushiya doesn't currently have a beer and wine license. It is in the works. Their green tea is very tasty but I did miss my beer. Also, on a hot Albuquerque day a portable swamp cooler on one side of the room didn't really do the job.
That aside, the service was just right. There was a fair crowd, but everything seemed to arrive with no unreasonable delays. The green tea really was delicious with just a hint of sesame perhaps. The squid salad was very good. One of the best in town. Hot & Sour Soup was neither too spicy hot nor too vinegary. Well balanced. The Egg Drop Soup was dense with egg.
My son had a pork dish with XO sauce. He came to like XO when in Hong Kong and liked this version. The sample I had was a bit too heavy on star anise for my taste.
My wife had shrimp with candied pecans. This is a dish described on the on-line menu as having prawns with veggies and pecans in a mango sauce. Her dish had sliced oranges, but no veg (which it really could have used). Without vegetables this generously sized dish just becomes too sweet for one person to consume.
I had the Chirashi. The 14 pieces of sashimi were fresh and delicious. The last time I had chirashi was at Samurai. The price is the same at both places. There might be a few more pieces in Samurai's version, which may be because it had some sweet omelet (tamago). I give the honors to Samurai only because it came in a larger bowl. Sushiya's presentation was in a bowl about the size of a paperback book. It was beautiful, but was packed so densely that the eating was more difficult than it should be.
The meal came out to just under $20 per person before tip.
