When I saw tamago on the menu, I had to try this place. It was perfectly sweet and fluffy! So after out little appetizer I had to order my personal favorites ika (squid) and the Kick in the Nose roll (perfect for anyone who likes that "wasabi burn"). My husband ordered the karaage (Japanese friend chicken) which was quite a large entree, definitely worth the price. The chicken was perfect, not oily at all and juicy. I highly recommend coming here after a bath at the onsen.

I’m not sure what the bad reviews were about. Every person in the front of the restaurant talked to us at one point or another during our evening there. They were friendly and timely. The food portions were huge and the food was delicious. The ambience is by no means Japanese in style, but the seating was comfortable. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone wanting some Japanese food. It was very similar to food which we ate in Japan, though a little more salty. Heads up.-Japanese food is not spicy. If that’s what you’re looking for go to a Thai or a Vietnamese restaurant.

Nice little Japanese place with really good food. Didn’t have the sushi, but the teriyaki and katsu was delicious. Plus their miso dressing is unique…has a bit more of a mustard taste, one of the best I’ve had.

It's a great little shop that's a bit bigger than it looks from the outside. The food is excellent and varies in price, which is excellent. The portions are nice as well. The atmosphere is welcoming and great just to hang out while eating. I usually come for the rolls and the appetizers. My daughter loves more the soups and noodles. I recommend this restaurant to those looking for a nice variety of eats.

Food is always remarkable and fairly priced. I have become a new frequent of the restaurant and I’m never disappointed. I always leave full and happy! On my recent visit I had the Santa Fe Roll and the Lady Bug Roll. Both are phenomenal! I always also get Miso Soup, White Rice, and the Green Chile Tempura which never disappoint. One small critique is the inconsistency of the service provided. Some days it’s very attentive and professional, others it’s more laid back and spacey. Aside from that the food always delivers.

This place was busy with great energy when we visited for the first time. A jazz trio was setting up to play. Jazz, in a Japanese restaurant? They ended up being a great addition to the evening and created a very relaxed and fun atmosphere. Music was just the right volume where you could still have a conversation. The food was better than we expected, after reading some of the reviews here. We ordered several different appetizers and all of them were good. The only one I was not a fan of was the shrimp shumai which I think might have been frozen. Our favorites for the night were the spicy tuna salad, and tai carpaccio dish. We didn't have any rolls, but the ones we saw being served from the bar looked amazing. We will definitely return when we're in Santa Fe again and try their rolls.

Alicia my waitress was so nice and welcoming. The sushi was delicious, I got the playboy, and got the fried noodles Yaki Udon with shrimp and the noodles were most likely made on site, best noodles ever, the shrimp was fried and breded. I never get dessert but since everything was so good I decided to try the fried bananas, It tasted like a fried breading with banana pudding was drizzled in chocolate I would definitely order again, the strawberry Mochi was my first time trying that wasn't store bought, I will never want store bought mochi again lol. There are many places to eat in Santa Fe but I highly recommend this place is a hidden gem! Next time I'm in town I am stopping again
