  Took a chance on another Yelp search and wasn't disappointed. I wanted something familiar and for snacking later, so I ordered a cucumber roll. The Super Mario Roll is pretty delicious with its green chile tempura all wrapped up inside. I wasn't sure if I was going to like the smoked salmon flavor with it since I'm so used to rolls coming with raw salmon, but this was great! I also got the 5 piece egg rolls and they're stellar!
  
  I ordered from them as my first time through Yelp via Grubhub and it was an overall good experience. The food was made quicker than expected and delivered sooner than the time it had stated in the Yelp app. The driver was kind and my food arrived in one piece. I'm more excited that the egg rolls arrived with a perfect crisp as you usually have about a 50/50 chance of them going soggy by the time they arrive within a delivery.
  
  I'd like to try out more items in the future as a they have a fairly extensive menu. And if their delivery on a work lunch can be this good, I imagine an in-house experience is even better!

  It's rare that I rate a local establishment as only 1 star, but today is that day, apparently. We  stopped in for a quick snack, just two rolls and some nigiri. We were the only ones there. So your guess is as good as mine as to why it took 45 minutes for the food to even come out? Don Sushi is not the place for me.
  
  The nigiri came first, after about 20 minutes, and to their credit, the pieces of fish looked generous and fresh. My partner said the fish was decent but that the rice was somewhat overcooked and pasty. This is not a great sign...if the rice at a sushi joint isn't up to par, it's probably not worth going. We could see the sushi chef working on the two rolls...but not? He had rolled them and was just standing there bullshitting with the server. i understand that he was waiting for the tempura to come out of the fryer, but it might have made sense to wait until that stuff was closer to being done to send out the nigiri.
  
  So after 25 minutes, the rolls showed up. We ordered an unagi roll and a NM roll, both of which I've had many times at other places. The unagi roll is fine, I guess, somewhat unremarkable, and I did note that the rice was very mushy. What was remarkable, and not in a good way, was the NM roll. The tempura coating on the outside was EXTREMELY heavy and greasy, indicating that the temperature of the oil was perhaps too cold. This did nothing for the texture of the already mushy and overcooked rice. And though this roll was sitting in bit of grease it was absolutely drowned in mayo. I have a picture but it's actually too gross to post.
  
  Very disappointing. I attempted to blot off as much mayo as I could and it took, I kid you not, 10 napkins and it was still inedible. Very greasy, very heavy. I hate to say it, but this is actually some of the worst sushi I've ever had. =(
  
  Apart from the ridiculous slowness, service was fine, if a bit absent. The server was pretty unconcerned when I politely asked her to please pass on the feedback that they put far too much mayo on an already inedibly greasy roll. Pretty unimpressed, and we won't be back.

  Before coming here, I was debating AYCE Indian buffet or raw fish...guess which one I chose?
  
  They have a sushi bar, so you can just step right up, have a seat and get a menu immediately. Staff are friendly here and helpful. Just FYI, The Monk's Corner Taproom that was next door is closed and apparently it has been closed for awhile. So Howie K left me astray...
  
  But although I could not get a Trappist pint, I was still able to get a Marble Brewery Double White. That definitely appeased me.
  
  I ordered 7 pieces of salmon sashimi and a veggie roll. I patiently waited for my food, but it never came. Finally, the sushi chef came to talk to me, he asked me if I wanted sashimi and then steered me toward their tuna. Apparently, their tuna is excellent and only a few places in ABQ actually carry this raw tuna. I have to say the tuna was fatty and super tasty, it rolled down my throat beautifully. I truly enjoyed. The veggie roll was great too! I hadn't had gobo in so long and loved the watercress. My bill came to just over $20, which is unheard of in my hometown. But they did have a lovely eye candy waitress, we have a dime a dozen back home and I miss them.
  
  I can't say the place had much ambiance. I did feel like I was eating dinner inside a hospital cafeteria, but hey, they were playing international soccer game, so I appreciated that. Give me a soccer or baseball game anytime and I'll be cursing like a sailor in no time.
  
  Thanks Don Sushi for making my Friday night super wonderful. I will be back and I will be back for more sashimi.

  Don Sushi - Albuquerque, NM
  
  We ordered grubhub for this restaurant, so my review is only for the food quality, as we did not personally go inside this restaurant.
  
  As far as service goes, i'm still pleased with how we were served from this restaurant. There was a question about our order, and since it is placed through an app there is no face to face communication. They called us and quickly got a resolution to their question on our order, and they were very accommodating to our requests.
  
  The food was delicious. We ordered a couple apps, sushi, a bento box and a ramen. The portion sizes for the prices were great. The sushi was a little less than favorable, but still good. The apps, jalapeño peppers and tempura, were delicious. The bento box and ramen were also pretty good. All in all, it's a pretty tasty place, with great takeout options!

  My girlfriend and I eat sushi regularly, I'd say 4 times a month? Don Sushi is good overall. We ordered the Shrimp Ceviche as an appetizer and it didn't come out until AFTER our entrees, so that was a knock. The server was very nice and provided good knowledge of the menu. I ordered Combo D which was a spicy tuna roll, cali roll, and 7 sashimi pieces for $17.50. Quality of food was 7/10. I would have gotten it again. I like how they integrated local food into the rolls, such as the green Chile roll! Good ambiance, good vibes, I recommend!
