I love this place :) Nice atmosphere, friendly staff. House miso soup is delivered promptly - even before I've ordered my meal sometimes ... so very nice if I've waited too long to head out for my meal. They also bring a nice cucumber and sesame salad. Chopsticks for all, if you need more traditional tableware, just ask! You can choose to sit at the teppan grill tables and watch a wonderful show of fresh food preparation - they have skilled cooks at the tables, growing up in Japan, I'm a bit jaded on this - but they bring a smile to my face everytime! You may chose to sit in the sushi bar - on stools or beautiful booths. Privacy or not - your choice :)
Teppan grill well prepared .... but my favorites are the 'chef special' sushis .... sushi w/ green chili, lobster, and other non-traditional ingredients ... my mouth is watering just thinking about it. My second favorite is the hot rock beef: a very hot rock, raw beef, and the stuff to cook it yourself at the table .... the best cow I've ever had :) Tempura batter nice and lite - but I'm not too sure I like the tempura potato (white one, not sweet one) that is part of the tempura veggies - otherwise I like all of the tempuras I've tried there.

| | | | Cesar's: Mexican and Greek Food on the Fly :) | Tip Rating: Satisfaction: | | | | |
If you've been reading some of the local's pages, you already know that New Mexican and Mexican food are completely different. Since I grew up in southern California, I LOOOOVE that style of Mexican food - my own comfort food - Yummmmmm. Cesar's isn't the cheapest in town, but it is the best! They have Carne Asada and shredded beef in the style I remember as a teenager - oh, I can't even begin to describe it! If you want a change, get this, they have they best Gyros in town! No joke!!! This place used to be called Losbetos, but there was a smiliarly named place in town with a horrid reputation recently ... so the owner of THIS establishment decided he needed to completely separate his name from THAT reputation. So same food, same staff, just a new name.
I alternate between Carne Asada Nachos, Greek chicken platter, Gyros, shredded beed burrito and the machaca breakfast burrito .... And you can't leave without one of their juices ..... my favorite is the Sandia (watermelon), and if I'm craving something sweeter the horchata ...... though I've been told the banana drink is also a bit of heaven ......

| | | | Saggio's: Pasta and sandwiches ... oh my!!! | Tip Rating: Satisfaction: | | | | |
Saggio's is a local eatery right down the block from the University Bookstore .... you order at the counter and wait for your name to be called to pick it up once it's ready. Despite this low cost service method, the food is wonderful, and the decor is fun. Murals and fountains decorate the restaurant. There are even interesting details in the dining room that tends to have the TV tuned into sports events. There are a few tables on the sidewalk outside, and I love to sit there and watch the world go by as I visit w/ my friends and eat to my heart's content. The portions are so large, that if you don't share to begin with, you will definiely be asking for a take home box! Especially if you decide to order one of their heavenly desserts :)
I haven't had anything here that I dislike - so a favorite dish is difficult to define. I can say that I tend to order a 'pasta of the day' dish, or a 'panini of the day' sandwich. The last time I was there, I ordered 'Frutta de Mari' (I think that's what it was called .... not really up on my Italian....). This seafood pasta was soooooooooo good that I made the appropriate noises while eating :) Leave a Comment Theme: ItalianPrice: less than US$10 » Currency ConverterComparison: less expensive than averageAddress: 107 Cornell Dr Se, Albuquerque, 87106Phone: (505) 255-5454Directions: 1/2 block south of Central Avenue, near the University :)

| | | | Fil-Am restaurant and market: Filipino Food in Albuquerque ... | Tip Rating: Satisfaction: | | | | |
What can I say about this place???? I LOVE IT!!! I dine here so often that I have a frequent eaters card, am known by name, have introduced my family and friends to them .... who have also become addicts with cards of their own :) I can't imagine what my dining would be if AbluqRay hadn't introduced this wonderful place to me a few months ago! The menu varies daily, depending on delivery and availability of ingredients. The only items you'll find daily are lumpia, pansit, pork and chicken adobo, and of course, rice :) Otherwise, the menu may have soups, Filipino BBQ, fish, or whatever they have fresh. They also have a small market that you can purchase your own ingredients for home .... snacks too (including my favorite bannana chips, and a chocolate and bread thing called a yum-yum ...) Fil-Am is also very involved in Filipino cultural events in our community, every weekend they have folk dancing classes for children and adults ..... and other events throughout the year :)
My favorite comfort food is pork adobo over rice. My mom used to cook it for special occassions when I was a kid, and it still holds a dear place in my heart, and my tummy. There's also a desert drink that I love that has a gelatin w/ jackfruit and other bits, a layer of ice, cream, ice cream, whipped cream and topped w/ Ube ....... yummmmmmm :) ADDENDUM MAY 2007: This wonderful place has closed it's doors ... sigh ....... I'm sad.
