Still one of my favorite sushi spots in town. Food is so amazing! Can't beat being able to eat all you want for under 30 bucks. Makes it easy to fill up a teenager.

I went to this place out of curiosity. Pretty good taste. Fast and friendly service. I got the all you can eat for $25.99. I ate my money's worth. The place smelled stale.

Surprised by the good reviews. Not sure if I came in on a bad day but the rice was basically paste. Couldn't distinguish a single piece of rice in each roll, it was just a lump of rice paste. It made the rolls really gummy and chewy and just unpleasant to eat; felt like I could choke on them. The fish was fine and the presentation was nice but the rice was so off-putting. Had to power through finishing the rolls so that we wouldn't get overcharged for having unfinished rolls. The 2 stars is to give them the benefit of the doubt that maybe we came in on a bad day.

Sushi Gen has a great deal for larger parties that are planning on coming to this awesome sushi place that has a $25 unlimited sushi deal. I definitely recommend it here when coming with a hungry party. The Sapporo is cheap and the Sushi is better.

We both did the endless sushi. Everything we ordered was really good. The dragon roll was my favorite out of what I tried out - it's the one with the eel sauce in the pictures on here. The server was great - kept our drinks full the whole time.

We tried Sushi Gen for the first time on a Wednesday for dinner. The counter is closed for dining, but there are still tables and booths available for seating. The restaurant is dark, so it took a minute to get used to the very dim lighting. No music was playing; instead there was a TV playing a cooking show that eventually timed out. Sushi Gen can do à la carte sushi, or all-you-can-eat. I asked if there was a menu that had pictures or descriptions since sushi can vary so much between restaurants even if the rolls share a name. Sushi Gen only has a picture/description menu for the speciality rolls. On the regular rolls, you just have to know what is included in the roll, or ask the server for each one. For example, an Orange Roll had no citrus ingredients whatsoever. We ordered a Fried California Roll, two Alaskan rolls, a Tiger Roll, an order of unagi, and two soft drinks for a total of $47.39 before tip. Despite there only being one 2-top in the restaurant before we arrived, the sushi took quite a bit to get delivered. Since the mini-oven (or microwave) was in the back, the sushi chefs had to walk through the dining room to bring rolls back and forth. It came all at once inside a sushi boat. Since each warm roll needed to be taken from the back of the restaurant back up to the sushi chefs and then arranged with the rest of the rolls, everything “warm” arrived lukewarm or room temperature. We only enjoyed one roll, which was the Fried California Roll. The Alaskan rolls seemed cheap, and I was disappointed they didn’t have cream cheese. If the menu had descriptions of what was in the rolls, I wouldn’t have ordered them. The Tiger Roll was fine, but my husband didn’t like it at all. Finally, the rice for the unagi was hard, as of the rice had been shaped and then sat out for a while. We both agreed the service was subpar, the wait time long despite very few patrons, a dark environment, cheap ingredients, and just not enjoyable overall. After a 20% gratuity, the total was $56.86 which was completely non-commensurate with the experience. Would we go back? No. Would we recommend it? No. Should you skip it? Yes!

Always love coming here. The staff are super friendly and the $22 all you can eat is an amazing deal. Definitely try the crunch roll! We drive 2 hours 1 way just to come here. 😊🍣🍣🍣 Edit as of 2023: Service is still top notch. However, the quality of the rolls has gone down immensely in the past 2 years. Aside from that, updates to this restaurant need to be made. I think they should definitely raise prices and revamp the space.

I hate leaving bad reviews but this is deserved. First off, the atmosphere of this place is disgusting. Dirty floors, dingy lighting, dusty lamps, stained and tattered window treatments, pinewood paneling like I'm in some dive bar in the boonies, and musty smell were completely off putting and not the kind of place I felt comfortable consuming raw fish in The service was nice, but I stayed because maybe the food is what people are giving this place good reviews for. That was a mistake. The rice was complete mush and tasted like glue. It made every piece of sushi unappetizing and hard to eat. The sushi itself was lumpy and uneven and pieces from the same roll were uneven. The ratio of rice to filling was completely off. I ordered a shrimp tempura roll and it was literally two shrimps buried in a log of mushy rice glue and somehow was 12 pieces. I couldn't even finish it because it was tough to chew all that gluey rice. This is not a place that knows how to make sushi. I guess when they say "all you can eat" they meant that not everything is actually edible so good luck eating it. 60 bucks for a buffet for two is better spent elsewhere.

Honestly new favorite place. This was amazing . The service was top notch , kept my water full at all times . For two people after drink and taxes is about 60 bucks . The waitress helped us choose from thier great selection. My favorite was the Cactus (it's spelled wrong on the yellow menu ) and the Philadelphia. Will come here everytime I visit alb.

The all you can eat sushi is beyond terrible. First I ordered mostly Nigiri and if that's all I ordered I would have given it a 2 stars, I'll get to the abomination that are the rolls later. First the fish to rice ratio is terrible, there barely any fish to a large amount of rice. Not only is there too much rice but the rice is not even good. Its not flavored like Sushi rice should be and its over densely packed showing the lack of skill from the Sushi Chief. Then to finish my meal I ordered 2 rolls to try and man did I regret that decision. The rice here is somehow even worse than the Nigiri. The rice looks literally like the stuff you see from costco sushi, like some extremely mushy rice. Like forget how little fish they put on the Sushi and everything the rice they use is a crime. No Japanese, no Asia restaurant should have rice this poorly done. It is the most basics of basics for Sushi and honestly I rather just go to the Hong Kong Buffet coz the Sushi there is about the same quality but much cheaper and actually comes with better other foods. Don't cheap out, pay a little more and find a proper Sushi place.

Best all you can eat in Albuquerque. I'm giving 3 stars because the last time I went things were a little not fresh. I am also irritated when you order a certain amount of rolls and they bring out maybe 2 less than that. When you ask where the other rolls are they tell ask if you still want them. They do this every time, and I get it, you cant order 10 rolls, but someone people can actually eat that much. If they can't then just charge these people for their wasted food as they said they would.

I’m so amazed by the food and employees! The all-you-can-eat sushi is such a great deal! I don’t have enough great things to say about this place. Olivia Traub, if you ever read this review, thanks for reminding me that this place even existed. $61.00 seems a bit expensive for a meal between two people, but it was well worth it. :)

The wait staff is always very polite and attentive. The price is good, the food was delicious. The atmosphere is calm and inviting. This place almost never disappoints. I had to take away one star from my last visit because I had to wipe lipstick off of my sake cup before I used it. Other than that small detail everything was amazing. Edit: cleanliness issue has been resolved they get all five stars. Service was very fast and the food was delicious.

This is the ONLY place I go for sushi. Not only is the staff very friendly and informative but the "All you can eat sushi" is only $26 dollars a person!! I love the atmosphere and cleanliness of this place and would definitely recommend it to anyone and everyone! The only thing I wish is that it was on my side of town lol.

The server was very nice and had no problem answering any questions we had. The crowd was small, every time we would show up there were on average 2 other parties. Very nice atmosphere. Food everytime was excellent. Serves was quick. Will always look forward to going back.

Nice little hole-in-the-wall sushi joint. All you can eat sushi for $26, and it's well worth it! All the servers are really nice. Alcohol choices are limited, but they bring out the whole bottle. I would recommend it if you want a quick bite for lunch.

I had an absolutely fantastic experience at Sushi Gen Restaurant in San Mateo! The all-you-can-eat sushi was not only excellent in taste but also incredibly budget-friendly. The sushi chefs were lightning-fast, and the front-of-house staff was incredibly attentive. What a treat it was to enjoy perfectly portioned rolls while watching Pokemon - a unique and delightful touch. The presentation of the dishes was truly underrated and deserves special praise. I highly recommend Sushi Gen and can't wait to return with friends for another wonderful meal!

I have been dinning in at Sushi Gen for 10 years amazing sushi rolls! I would have given My favorite sushi place a 5 star but I did not because of service, that being said it depends on times of the day you go and the different servers other then that I live it!

The workers are very kind people, there’s almost nobody here everytime we come which doesn’t make any sense! The food is amazing and decently cheap, if you want good real sushi, definitely recommend this place :)

We went in as 4 adults and a 9 month old. We sat at a table. Watch your bill! They charged us an 18% gratuity as a group of 5. We didn’t notice the charge and started to leave an additional tip. Then we were told “well you sat at that table”. Very disappointed that they’re pulling this gimmick. The sushi was good and we ordered a bunch (2 boat loads) as well as some chicken fried rice.

Awesome hole in the wall with all-you-can-eat sushi for $26 a head. Insane value! Great service. Good seaweed salad. A little run down from the outside, but inside is cozy and charming with a fish tank. Nice spot for a lunch out. Try to the tempura spicy tuna roll!

Honestly, I loved this place. The sushi was so good! I'm a simple man, and I enjoy nigiri. They have plain sushi here that I haven't seen yet. Just raw tuna/salmon wrapped in rice wrapped in nori. It was so good! My other half got the AYCE and it was worth it to see her get the seafood items she wanted. AYCE is 25.99. she got about $32 worth of sushi

Excellent food! I was very impressed with everything ordered. I highly recommend the Crunch Roll, NM roll, and the Spider Roll. The sashimi was high quality and nice size cuts. All you can eat price and per roll!! Give this place a shot!

Good place for all you can eat sushi. Kinda older building and the rolls are nothing special, but great value for $ spent and friendly staff. Has been a go to with friends for years now. I do recommend.

Great sushi, wonderful staff. Can't be it with all-u-can-eat !! Only 25 person children 15 dollars!

Me and my girlfriend come here often for the all you can eat sushi the place is clean and the staff is always awesome i highly recommend this place to anyone looking for good sushi they are simply the best

Always love an all you can eat. This place is always busy and they never quite have enough staff. The staff they do have is very friendly. Either way I seem to find myself here often since the food is actually really good.
