    I have been to at least a dozen different sushi places around Albuquerque, and this is by far my favorite. $1 a piece for sushi this good is unbeatable. Every time I try a new place I end up wishing I had gone here instead. I wish they had better hours though...

    This restaurant is the only one you need to know. Best food,service, and prices in town. The owners, the Parks, will make sure you have a great meal. And you will feel welcome. We make sure to go here as often as possible. Best miso soup in the Southwest! Go once and you will always go back.

    I come here all the time for lunch and dinner. It's a quiet, local atmosphere with delicious fish. The waitress will bring us free delicious cucumber salad sometimes and the sushi chef greets us. Dinner is sushi happy hour and the drinks are cheap! I love this place :)

    I was hoping this would be a great "hole in the wall" type of sushi place... It was a hole in the wall, but not the good kind that you come across, especially not for takeout which may be why my sushi was so pitiful. I ordered the spicy red dragon roll, which is supposed to be spicy tuna topped with tuna, avocado, and roe. They tried to hide that they filled it with cheap crab (not supposed to be in the roll) in addition to the [terrible attempt at] spicy tuna. I ordered the sunrise roll (tuna, salmon, red snapper, shrimp, yellowtail, avocado, and roe) which was surrounded by way too much rice making difficult to eat. The avocado was also brown and speckled from too much air exposure and aging. I eat a lot of sushi and this is close to the worst I've ever had.

    Well, I finally checked this place out a few months ago, and I've been back a few times. I have to say - wow. It deserves the five stars. I have never been during lunch, I've only been during dinner, so my review is based upon only eating off the so called "Sushi Happy Hour Menu". First, let me specify - there is another restaurant in Albuquerque with a sushi happy hour called Sushi Hana, with an N instead of and M, and it is not nearly as good. You can read my review of it on here. Suffice it to say, Sushi Hama is an excellent restaurant. The location is a little tricky to find. It's on the southeast corner of Eubank and Candelaria. It's on the corner of a small building that's hidden behind buildings on Candelaria and the building directly on the corner. It's attached to a Chinese restaurant, for which I hear the chef makes sushi too. There is very limited parking, and at dinner sometimes, it's difficult the find a spot. The restaurant has a very hole in the wall feel. There is hardly any space. There is a small sushi bar only suitable for one chef. The atmosphere is very pleasant. In winter, it seemed uncomfortably warm to me, but that's according to preference. I've only ever sat at the sushi bar. The chairs have wheels on them which is honestly very nice as it allows for quiet and easy movement of the chairs. There's a small tube tv behind the sushi bar - a little strange in this day and age, but it adds a nice touch. The restaurant, I think is family-owned. They also served a Korean menu which I've never ordered from. The chef prepares food very methodically. He's very clean and careful, and it's very enjoyable to watch him prepare sushi. Having been with someone with celiac disease, they were careful and there was no cross contamination. They also offer gluten-free soy sauce. Because this is such a small operation, if it's busy, it will take some time for your sushi to get to you. It's worth the wait, but if the small restaurant is crowded and you want to get out soon, I have to recommend you go someplace else. The chef I would say is a little more careful in his preparation of sushi than other chefs, so he is not the fastest (without being particularly slow either, mind you). Now for the sushi - this restaurant has some of the best prepared sushi in the city. I've been other places with comparably well-prepared raw fish, but where Sushi Hama tops all of them is in the price. During the sushi happy hour (every day from 5-8PM), pieces of nigiri are only 99 cents. Now, this understandably results in smaller pieces of nigiri than lots of other restaurants, but honestly, I prefer it because it's easy to eat the piece in a single bite. Other restaurants, I generally have to do two bites to comfortably finish a piece of nigiri. Nigiri I have eaten from them: yellowtail, tuna, mackerel, salmon, albacore, red snapper, shrimp, crab, smelt egg, and eel. I've also had their shrimp tempura roll. I have never had fish from them that I felt was not fresh and eminently edible. I have had on individual experiences, better tasting fish, but even those restaurants cannot consistently perform better than Sushi Hama. I did not like the mackerel (I had a fishy taste in my mouth the next day, even), but I dislike mackerel for sushi rather intensely, and it was one of my better experiences with mackerel. Albacore is a fish that is poached and so partially cooked on the outside, and often prepared with spices. Theirs was served relatively plain as I prefer, and I immensely enjoy it. The eel they reheat in a toaster oven before serving, and it comes out very good. I recently had smelt egg nigiri for the first time and I really enjoyed it here. I would say the albacore and the tuna are the best and most consistent nigiri to be had here. The shrimp tempura roll is elegant and takes a little time for him to prepare. However, the complex rolls I have had here are very delicious and have a good presentation. The roll is a little larger in diameter than I am normally comfortable with though. In summary, I give Sushi Hama 5/5 stars for the combination of affordability, variety, and quality of sushi. The service is not very fast and finding the restaurant is a little hard, but the sushi is very good and very cheap. Any inhabitant of Albuquerque who likes sushi should check this place out.

    I've been here several times, both to go and eating in. They're very friendly, and it has the feel of some of the hidden gem sushi places in California I've been to in the past. It isn't expensive, and eating in during happy hour times is downright cheap. The sushi is pretty erratic though, and I can't help but get the feeling that the quality is just not there. Given that sushi is half presentation, having brown avocado in sushi is pretty disappointing. And some of the fish - I think the yellowtail - just wasn't quite right.

    Sushi-Hama is a small and almost hidden little gem.... My son told me about it and now we go there often. I have only had Sushi but they also serve other Japanese foods. I love the Unagi, Spicy Dragon Roll and The Spider Roll. If you're feeling a bit adventurous and tired of burgers, pizza, Mexican / New Mexican food treat your tastebuds to Sushi-Hama!
