I Love Sushi Teppan Grill - Albuquerque

Quick find while riding down San Mateo. And I'm glad about it. Glad for the marquee, because I would've passed it up. Ordering take out was #easypeasy. The cashier was very friendly attentive despite me being on the phone... Rude, I know. Quick easy pickup. Ordering was simple. You get a writing utensil an ordering sheet. Sushi is freshly rolled as you wait terribly inexpensive!!! Inexpensive, not a low of chewing I'm full!!! Ooooooooooh #illbeback.

I haven't been here since it was just I Love Sushi, it's been quite some time too! That was when they only did sushi, I should mention that it is now called I Love Sushi and Teppan Grill. Seriou. It says so on the building. Tee hee. Came here on an impromptu girl's night outing looking for sushi because the ramen joint we tried to visit was closed. Upon entering we were surprised to see the teppan grills and when asked where we wanted to eat, I think we were conned into saying teppan! LOL! They pressure was on and they caught us off guard! Sheesh! Not to worry, we could still order sushi at the teppan table! Now, if you've ever eaten at any teppan grill eatery you know that it is like family seating. You may end up sitting with few different parties, until your table is filled. Then they bring the chef out and begin your meals. In our case, there were several other teppan grills filled and we were the first seated at our table. We placed an order for two sushi rolls and and they took our meal orders too. Alas, no one else came to join us. They closed our table and the chef came out. Maybe we shouldn't have ordered the rolls? We ended up with so much food! Not that I am complaining, but let me tell you! Their teppan dinners come with noodles, stir fried vegetables, fried rice and your meat of choice! We had mounds of food on our plates. Not to mention the soup and salad that you get before hand. The chef was very friendly and funny. Very entertaining and did a great job with our meals. We ordered a salmon, chicken and steak plate. All of which were cooked just right. They didn't get that last star for me because our waitress was bit on the slow side. Left us hanging a few times and seemed to be really disturbed my request for no rice and extra veggies. She basically came at me like, what kind of asian doesn't like rice? Don't get me wrong, I was thoroughly amused with the question, because I do love rice! I just choose not to eat it from time to time, due to dieting! Sheesh! All and all, a good first time back in what has been years. I'm glad to see them still around and doing well. Will have to come back soon to revisit the feast at the teppan grill, and make sure I am eating rice too.

I've been to sushi restaurants far and wide and believe it or not, I Love Sushi falls somewhere in my Top 10. Luckily, sushi hasn't been tainted by franchisees, it's still a niche for those of us who appreciate seafood. The service is always good, they check to see if everything's okay and serve in an appropriate time. Meals come with a tiny salad and miso soup. It's very very inexpensive and the rolls are pretty well-crafted. The salmon here is buttery and soft. The tuna tastes a little too raw for me, but my must-try is the lobster roll; it is superb. I know there are other places to choose in town, but somehow we always end up here. Be it for date night, girls night, or a major sushi craving, this restaurant is a cross of cozy and New Mexico hospitality. I Love Sushi. Period.

First time dining at l Love Sushi. We were a 4 top on a Sat at 6:30 pm. An al Cart sheet of paper was presented to us (typical sushi rolls selection). There was no menu presented to us, I wanted to try items I had seen on their website. The deco atmosphere was not fancy and the atmosphere was low key. No dress code for servers and other employees. It could of used some cleaning. The service was great, friendly, prompt and informative when answering questions. The food quality of the tools and sushi was very good with ample portions. I will return

We have been coming for years. They are getting squeezed by huge sushi restaurants around them. They are family owned and have very good Teppan sushi. Albuquerque needs to support this long time business and have great food. Tonight I. Am having filet mug on scallops on the teppan. Mmmm!
