Great, convenient and affordable. Like it for casual weekly lunch or dinner. Owners and servers are nice. I always leave a large tip because of how affordable it is.

Is this the best sushi? No. But honestly, the size and prices are ridiculous! It's a party as soon as you enter! They were offering 1/2 price on all sushi and we went to town! It was a fun experience. Again, not the best sushi, but you can't beat the price along with the portion sizes! It's a great place to hang out and get away from a while. The interior transports you somewhere else.

Dragon Sushi - - a Chinese-owned Japanese Sushi restaurant in Albuquerque, New Mexico: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jUy5ABIbuvQ Probably the least expensive Sushi you can get in Albuquerque - - especially if you are into quantity......rather than.... But many times, what the heck!! I can only afford to go with quantity only!!

This place is interesting. From the outside, you think "wow this very highly rated sushi place behind the gas station kind of looks like a dump." Upon stepping inside, you're greeted with a TON of flags, wall decor, and sake bottles, giving an extremely fun and unique atmosphere. Anime was also playing on their TV. During my particular visit with my wife, we were instructed where to sit by one of the employees almost immediately, and we looked at the simple "check the box" paper menu. All sushi on the menu is 50% off, which puts all the selections at a very reasonable price (we got four rolls and a spring roll app for about $38). After submitting our order, we received our spring rolls in what felt like a minute later, and they were incredibly hot. Unfortunately they were not served with any type of sauce, but regular red-top soy sauce was available- they were decent. As I sat, I watched the employees preparing the sushi, and they seem to have the process streamlined. There seems to be a machine that lays a flat bed of rice at the press of a button, and then the employee tops it in ingredients and uses a sushi press type of contraption. Not exactly authentic but it's worth what you pay for. Very soon after getting the spring rolls, we received our sushi rolls, and they were absolutely massive. I'm talking, "unhinge your jaw and possibly choke, or take two bites" massive. The rolls also have a lot of toppings and are very "Americanized," but the fish wasn't sketchy smelling or tasting, which was huge because I was very much apprehensive by the vibe of the place. The only issue was the rice not being the best for "sushi rice." I'm fairly confident this restaurant shares the same kitchen as the neighboring Taiwanese restaurant directly next door, especially considering the lack of deep fryer sounds. In short, I think Dragon Sushi is worth giving a try if you're into huge portions of cheap sushi in a fun, no-frills atmosphere. This place would be amazing in a drunken state!

I have tried a few different sushi places in Abq and this one has to be my favorite. Don't come here expecting the staff to wait on your hand and foot but expect really great sushi. We got four rolls and an appetizer since most sushi places have small rolls but we were blown away at the portions. We also got two beers and the price was super reasonable for the quality. It's such a unique little spot. Definitely give it a shot.

My sister and I wanted to try Dragon Sushi for a while now. On our second visit we were able to get in! The first attempt was unsuccessful, as I think there was some family emergency of sorts. We had arrived at the same time as another patron and we couldn't get it. The door was locked the open sign was lit and we saw people inside so we hovered around the front door for a few minutes. Other people parked and waited with us until they finally came to the door and told us apologetically that they were closed. All of us walked back to our cars, saddened! Ha! On this day though! We were able to get in! We ordered, perhaps too much for the two of us, buuuuuuut, in our defense, we had never been there, and we saw the 50% off rolls, aaaaaand, we couldn't help ourselves! To our surprise, the rolls were much bigger than we anticipated. Which was honestly not what we expected. We thought it would be the exact opposite, since the rolls were on "sale" as it were. The Red Snapper Salad and Hot Oil Salmon were our starters. Followed by 4 rolls: Geisha Roll, Spider Roll, Spicy Tuna Roll and the XO (deep fried). Along with 1 order of Salmon Nigiri, which they include a small piece of tuna atop it! A lil extra credit if you will! The Hot Oil Salmon was our fav! The Geisha was a bit of a twist for us as it is topped with seared beef. Now that we know how big the portions are, we'll be coming back with friends! We loved all the excess decorations and the tv playing anime while you eat. Dragon Sushi is a fun spot with huge portions!

Quick headline to round it up. Good sushi at great prices. How could I've gone so long without noticing this hidden gem? I recently stumbled across some instagram friends dining here in which they mentioned all their rolls are half off. I'm not sure if this is just a temporary promotion or if it is their business model. I've treated it as if it is a promotion and have frequented repeatedly in the last month. With the half off, rolls start out as low as $4. All the premium rolls are also discounted. On one occasion, our party did 7 rolls for around 35 bucks. You can't beat that. Now as far as quality of the rolls. I will say they around mid. Flavor is up there along with the size. These things are huge! The restaurant itself is pretty cool. Size is a bit small so if you're in around meal rush you may have to wait a bit. They have a lot of cool banners hanging down from the ceilings and bottles of sake lining the perimeter. The only downside is the language barrier of the staff. I don't believe any speak English. If you have ever dined at any restaurant before you should be good. The don't talk much but do a lot of pointing and gesturing to let you know what they are asking for. They will bring you a sushi menu to check off what you want which the waitstaff will pickup up and take once you are done filling it out. They will then bring some waters in paper cups. The food is quick to come out. At the end they will come by and drop off your menu with the price you need to pay All in all, pretty cool hidden gem with really good sushi. I almost hesitated to post this because I don't want to let the secret out, but it'd be unfair for others to try it out.

Stepping into Dragon Sushi is like teleporting to China Town, minus the flight ticket. The decor? Pure Asian elegance. The deal? An unbelievable 50% off the entire menu, every day of the year. I mean, how is that even a business model? Service is zippy and as warm as their wasabi, plus a DIY beverage station for when you want to pretend you're your own waiter. Our culinary adventure included the Viking roll, a fusion fantasy with shrimp tempura, bacon, avocado, all crowned with tuna and salmon. Then there was the XO roll - think deep-fried bliss wrapped in soy paper, with eel and avocado taking a dive in spicy mayo and eel sauce. We also sampled the salmon and red snapper nigiri and took a crack at the calamari, which was, well, a tad on the rubbery side. But hey, nothing a tsunami of soy sauce couldn't fix. Despite the calamari's attempt to be an unchewable hero, Dragon Sushi's rolls rolled right back with a vengeance. For the price (did I mention 50% off?), it's the sushi king of Albuquerque, New Mexico. Four out of five stars because perfection is overrated and because that calamari really did need the soy sauce bath.

Walked to the front door and there was a fairly long line of people waiting - early Saturday evening (hope it's worth the wait) when we get inside - not seated yet. I was reminded of places visited many years ago in Japan. Small, cramped interior not many tables/booths, paper lanterns and other posters, handbills and advertising in Kanji. 20mins later we finally had a seat.It's busy so we don't expect our order to come quickly. But the egg rolls did. They came out without the usual sweet chili sauce. We ordered 3 other rolls, it took awhile but when they arrived they were huge. We usually eat 3-4 rolls, we took 1-1/2 rolls home. The rolls were thick rice bed and stuffed with goodies. Prices were more than reasonable. You may want to put this place on your must try list. But, start small - there's a lot of food.
