Our waitress was lovely…read more At one point we got some food and our table was crowded with dishes so I asked the deliverer to take away some dishes and he said he could not but would get someone else to. No one else came to take them away till the near end of our meal so I found that a bit odd. The restaurant is beautiful and even has a traditional Japanese eating area where you can sit on the ground. We all enjoyed our sushi, bento boxes, fried asparagus, and grilled avocado.

Whether booking through the spa (on Ten Thousand Waves grounds) or walking in (Juan was graciously…read morewelcoming without reservations), this is a sushi spot on a hill worth visiting. Happy Hour runs twice daily with reduced prices on food & beverages from 3-5p and 9-10p. They have an extensive sake menu categorized by flavor profile designed for pairings, along with a lean but modern wine list including detailed tasting notes. Japanese whisky and exotic green tea (try the kuki cha!) round out a full beverage program, and deep booths offer private views of the lush valley below. Chef Kiko Rodriguez offers a four-course tasting menu at an exceptional value for $65 - trying this or any of Paloma's suggestions from their fresh sushi menu (only restaurant in New Mexico with fish flown in from Japan daily) will surely please. Gloriously chilled tuna sashimi was thinly sliced cut with heat from fresh wasabi and a savory ginger shoyu. Hand rolls are served in pairs, and the spicy tuna was simple, elegant, and delightful - a perfect showcase of the freshest fish. Before switching to dessert, shaved ginger is also snappy and cleansing. I was absolutely mind blown by the Sakura Pannacotta - delicate and dreamy custard textured like chawanmushi with soft aromatic cherry blossom and the most delectable shortbread accent. Three light courses that were fully nourishing, absolutely satisfying, and delightfully delicious!

The service is always prompt and friendly. I like their California rolls. As I long time lover of New Mexico cuisine I especially like their Santa Fe roll.

We've been here three times, two times before 5pm and one time at 5:10pm. The times we arrived…read morebefore 5, we waited till past 5:15pm and they were closed. No sign that indicated that the hours that day were wrong. Nothing online. They even removed their Google listing. When we stopped in at 5:10pm, we walked in and there was no one at the counter. The waitress came by, ignored us, then went to bring food to another table. We awkwardly stood there, waiting for her to notice us (which she clearly did, because we stood right smack dab in the middle of the room while all the customers -- a grand amount of five, small tables -- stared at us and awkwardly acknowledged our presence with a "I don't know what's going on here either" look). Then, when we called for her, she gave us the angriest look and said, "you have to be here exactly at 5 or call at 4PM for take-out". Fine, message received. Today, we called at 4pm exactly for take-out. No one picked up. We called again. Then again. No one picked up, again. Never got a chance to try their sushi. Each time, we headed to Origami. I mean, I've heard that Cafe Sushi has "fresher" sushi, but is there any point if we haven't tried it at least once? I hate giving one star reviews to local businesses, but this is incredibly frustrating. We've given this place a good amount of chances, followed everything they said, both online and in person, and still, nothing. This is no way to run a business.

The other specialty roll we tried was the Green River roll which was pictured on the menu but not listed on the menu. This one actually came with 10 pieces of sushi which was a great deal for sure. Service was great and fast. We ordered a total of 4 rolls and they staggered the delivery of them in such a way that we were able to enjoy them and not feel overwhelmed by the amount of sushi pieces that we had to eat. This way they were also very fresh as soon as we were ready to enjoy a different roll. The restaurant is located inside a shopping center building and while it's an older building the restaurant itself was clean and inviting. We were quickly able to sit down and proceed with ordering our food. Give them a try if you're in Santa Fe. Tasty and fresh ;)

We got there 5 minutes after it opened and the restaurant was already half full with people still pouring in.

We also had kids with us and I was surprised by the kid entree and the price. Well worth it to bring the youngins. The sushi was delicious, fresh, and flavorful. Some of the rolls mixed with the green chili were my favorite, a mix of two cultures that paired so well. We left so satisfied!!! Can't wait until our next adventure to Taos!
