Very average, low quality Sushi, they try hard but it is what it is, Sushi in New Mexico, Our order was completly wrong. Turns out they have their own version of Sushi roll names so you will get something very new to you. read more

So terribly disappointing and we'll never order from them again as the ingredients and recipes have changed incomprehensibly. We knew the business was sold but had decent meals on the occasions we'd ordered during the pandemic. It's always a good thing to support local restaurants and we generally choose the same items: Santa Fe rolls are a somewhat common dish here in town at a few local sushi spots and is always our first choice here because I am not a raw fish fan. Apparently this recipe has suddenly been changed by the new owners from green chile tempts within a California roll to something that is now wrapped in raw fish. I was happy to be ordering for delivery and found the Halloween themed menu items funny but apparently shouldn't have allowed myself that distraction because when I opened the boxes I couldn't recognize dinner. I called and was told this is how they make the dish now. Having delivery from a third party is already leaving us left in some gray area of where to complain, but we are also trying to support the local delivery folks as well. This was so expensive and I ended up left eating appetizers that are the same as those available from Sams club and tasted just as one would expect from there: newly ubiquitous coconut shrimp breaded in sugar and egg rolls with nothing healthy about the vegetable filling. We hear so much about restaurants struggling but so is everyone else now. Sending off bad food doesn't win sympathy, and I'd rather have heated up a frozen dinner from the dame discount store instead of paying $90 for a frozen dinner delivery from the same origin by way of a formerly wonderful restaurant. . read more

In the Strip-mall plaza of the La Montanita Co-op: Quiet, neighborhood spot - nice for a really low-key mellow, don't-want-to-cook night out. Favorite dishes: asparagus roll - 4 asparagus tempura rolled maki-style with a big outer covering of sesame seeds yellow tail roll - basic, but very respectable edamame - basic again, but good and not overcooked I'm not into the minced fish or mayo maki rolls, but that doesn't seem to be the norm for most customers - most folks seemed to like theirs. Now, if they added a bit more background music (something odd and quirky.. Japanese techno and Thai pop?) it would instantly make this place a favorite. read more

Good sushi really delicious and staff was nice. In my experience staff has been nothing but kind and helpful and the sushi has always been top quality. read more

Really good sushi, little secret hole in the wall, it takes a while, but it is worth it :)

Totally overpriced, as most rolls are made with a half sheet of nori. It would be good and okay if the rolls were proper size. Monkey balls are good. read more

Masa is Excellent I eat Sushi all around the US and Asia and Europe Sam is a Master The Quality is astounding for a land locked location It's unfortunate angry voices ring so loud! Thank you Sam Thank you Masa read more

It was so lucky to happen to have dinner at this place during my family sky travel. Rolls, tempura udon, chicken box, shrimp fried rice were all delicious. Price reasonable. Will come again next visit to Santa Fe. read more

This is my go-to place for sushi. The owner/chef always recognizes me and hooks me up with some extra sushi or a dessert. I've tried the other sushi places in town but I always come back to Masa. Love it! read more

I am not a sushi person, but I recognize a great presentation. Everything looks beautiful. For someone like me who accompanies sushi folks there are great options. I tend to go for fried rice myself and the chicken fried rice and tempura shrimp are fantastic. The staff is friendly and the place is always clean. read more

A loyal customer for years is treated despicably when asked about being charged a different price for same exact fixed priced sushi! Asked to leave! "You enjoy? Then go somewhere else if you don't like what we charge you!" These owners are outrageously rude except when you shut up & they're taking your money for years! Boycott this restaurant! They only want you to shut your mouth & pay whatever they want to charge. AVOID! Never again. We Santa Fe'ans should never tolerate such unprofessional, rude conduct - ever. Take a stand - for all of us. So nice until you politely ask a general question, and then WATCH OUT! Sam turned on me after years and for no legitimate reason. Shame on you! Boycott this establishment & perhaps they'll finally learn that this type of conduct is unacceptable. Who do they think they are? WHERE do they think they are? I have never in my life been treated with such disrespect - anywhere. The fact that I'm a woman must have had something to do with Sam's outrageously disrespectful response, because if I were a man, or was with my boyfriend, I sincerely doubt that he would have responded the way that he did toward me without dire consequences. While at the register still in shock & obligated to pay my tab, I informed the waitress that they will never see me again. She LAUGHED at me! About 4 years prior to this, I was a steady, happy customer - until the sister/co- owner was incredibly rude to me bec I politely mentioned that their green tea ice team tasted old & had clumps of green gook throughout it. She replied, "you complain about everything", & stomped away, when I had never once complained about ANYTHING. She also refused to take it off of my bill. $3? The only words ever uttered by this nasty woman are insults, but she'll gladly take your money while staring at you with her hateful eyes. I took a 4 year break from this place, & decided to try it again, then the above happens with Sam. My mistake for ever giving them another chance. Despicably unprofessional! To all men & women who are contemplating dining at this establishment, do us all a favor, and don't. Owners such as these give Santa Fe a VERY bad reputation. Who would ever speak to a polite customer this way? Especially one that has spent thousands of dollars over the course of years, and I always was polite, friendly, & happy? Do us all a favor, Sam, and go treat nice customers like dirt somewhere else. You appear to be this nice guy, but clearly your utter disdain for your customers finally reared its ugly head. You clearly also have ZERO respect for women in general. You're just plain NASTY, but on the surface seem so nice! It's a facade. Good acting... Support good businesses here, not horrid ones such as this. Or better yet, ask 1 of the owners a question about your bill, or point something out that seems off, if it indeed is, and watch what happens... They'll go NUTS on you, even if you're a steady customer for years. They don't CARE about you or your experience. Just keep your mouth shut and give them money, bec that's really all that they DO care about. Both owners, as well as the server just don't give a darn, but on the surface, they seem to be fooling us all. Don't be fooled & take a stand for ALL of us, otherwise, they'll think that this conduct is quite alright, and continue with their horrid behaviors, just as they have for years. Anywhere else they would've been forced to shut down years ago! The sushi is bland & overpriced, previously frozen, & sometimes slimy. Nothing on their menu has any flavor to it whatsoever. Watch your bill! They'll raise prices for you alone out of nowhere. Yes, bring their attention to this and watch what happens! They'll insult you & throw you out. Never again. As a woman, I am just disgusted by Sam's bullying, rude conduct. Some day, you're going to mouth off to the wrong man or woman, and it won't end well for you. Karma... I wish that picketing an awful business such as this one will happen. I'll be the first in line. read more

Quiet little restaurant. In fact, dead silent for most of the meal. Good service and very quick prep. The sushi rolls and tempura appetizer were ready in just a few minutes, and the food was good but not exceptionally flavorful. I do have to say the tempura was perfectly breading and still nice and fresh inside. Good place for an easy, quick lunch, especially if you're looking for inexpensive, nice quality sushi. read more

Kai was closed. Went to masa. We were given huge portions of tasteless sushi and charged double without asking for it. We also drank house hot sake which we don't normally. We were charged $78 I was shocked ! Watch your bill! read more

Masa Sushi has fresh sushi, it's delicious and it's reasonably priced. My boyfriend and I frequent this restaurant often. Try the monkey balls...they are the bomb! read more

Better really be craving sushi to go here. Wait staff sub par, food sub par. One sushi chef (on right) was nice and smiled and presented his food nicely. Sushi chef (on left) seamed burdened at a special request and shook his head 4 times. And all overpriced as well. read more

I had lunch there yesterday with a friend. My salmon bento box was mediocre, but my friend's mackerel bento box was not good. The mackerel was so salty she couldn't eat it. When she told the waiter this a woman came out from the back and started yelling at my friend. I think she was the owner. We just sat there. Later the waiter did take her meal off the check, but the experience was very unpleasant. Also the ladies room had no usable sink. The sink had fallen on the floor and was tilted so if you used it it drained onto the floor. Not sanitary! read more

We always bring my mom here for her birthday, she enjoys coming to eat their sushi. One of the plates we got on our table was, well, infested with a baby cockroach. I work in the service industry, so I get that there are critters in these old buildings whether you want them or not, but this was on our plate...so a four star review it is. I will be back, since it's my family's favorite place, but if there is another critter, I'll probably not return. read more

I'm a vegetarian sushi fan and this place has the best in Santa Fe. The sushi chef makes a catepillar roll to die for! Yes, the ambience lacks, but the food is good and the sushi chef always treats me to something I enjoy. read more

Based on some of the reviews of this place, I decided to try it. Sushi is very fresh and good value; as good as anywhere in California. Especially liked the special tempura asparagus avocado roll and would order it every time. Also loved the vegetarian sushi lunch special (futomaki, mushroom nigiri, kelp nigiri, and inari). read more

Fantastic food and attentive service. I had been reluctant to try it because of my tendency to prejudge by signage...I need to stop that. Full of locals which is usually a good sign. Loved everything I had. Will definitely be back. read more

My wife and I favor sushi & Japanese restaurants and go to them regularly when we travel. We have Japan as our next vacation destination. But, we live in Santa Fe, and there's not much we can say about the Japanese restaurants here. Of the 7 or 8 we have tried in Santa Fe, this one is the best we've tried so far in terms of food. The sushi servings are generous. But, the prices are MUCH higher than we would expect in Colorado, or Oregon, where we travel regularly. The interior of the place, and location in a strip mall [off the tourist track], is at best mediocre and does not justify the price for a meal, which is high compared to places in Colorado, particularly Boulder, where we frequent the most. As with ALL the sushi restaurants in Santa Fe that we've tried, this one also charges waaay too much for sake. Given that this liquor is mass-produced from an easily grown crop [ie rice], to charge their rates for a 4 oz glass is not worth it. This place, like all the others in Santa Fe, act like Sake is some carefully produced Cabernet, or fine bottle of Scotch. Hey, people just want to relax with a reasonably priced drink and have a nice, healthy meal. In short, we'd say, if you have an impulse for sushi go here, but stick to the bottled beer. read more

I've been going to Masa's ever since it opened in its current location, and I've always left satisfied. The fish is fresh, servings are generous, and, while service can be slow (small staff), they're always courteous and eager to please. I like the cucumber salad, which includes lettuce and seaweed with a light sesame dressing, not the sticky glop that some Japanese restaurants put on their salads. The nigiri are topped with big slices of fish, and the rolls are amply stuffed. They offer interesting and unusual "special" rolls, not just the same old combinations, and recently they've improved their sake and wine options. I'm a fan. read more

Tonight was my birthday and of all the Japanese Cuisine places to pick in Santa Fe I chose Masa Sushi....It was very sweet. A quiet, small personal touch with excellent service I am always excited to go there. I have had no problems with staff, service or quality especially with the current owners. I am very grateful and even had a connection with one of the employees husband having been from the same town of Kailua, Oahu.....Was nice...I am thankful...! Mahalo to all those at Masa Sushi.. We always enjoy ourselves. read more

Masa Sushi offers the freshest, tastiest, most artfully prepared sushi in Santa Fe. We've tried all the sushi places in town. In addition to superb sushi, Sam sets the high-mark as the friendliest, most hospitable sushi chef & owner in town. We are transplanted New Yorker's who normally ate sushi several times each week. From New York's Nobu, Yasuda, Blue Ribbon sushi & other top places, none serve more amazing sushi than Masa Sushi. M&M August 1, 2011. read more

This is my favorite place ever!! Honestly the best sushi I have ever had!! The baked salmon in my absolute favorite. Been going there for years!! Amazing people and food :) read more

Nice local Japanese restaurant. The vegetable sushi rolls were good and the yakisoba noodle dishes did not disappoint.

Masa Sushi located at 927 W Alameda St Santa Fe, NM 87501 is a great place to dine in and eat, the fish was fresh and the rolls are great too. My son and I were there last night (2/13) celebrating his birthday...., unfortunately the waiter we had was actually waiting outside - he confronted me as though he was going to get physical! Who knows why - my son and me are still trying to figure that out. On the other hand I am still struggling with going to the police to report his aggressiveness - before he hurts a customer. Anyway this was my first time eating at Masa Sushi - this waiter ruined a good meal by his behavior - Next time I am in town I will check to make sure he is not there before I go back. read more

Excellent local fresh and friendly flavor. Great pricing and beautiful presentation. Low-key atmosphere. Going four years now and never anything but happy we stopped. read more

Well, I give this place 4 stars. It's much much better than the sushi joint next to Cowgirl. The rolls were unique and tasty, the service was OK, and the setting was very casual and low key. A nice place to go for low key "good grub." read more

We read the reviews and they were right -- excellent food, large portions, very casual atmosphere...nice sake. Who knew there were such good sushi places in the middle of the desert? read more

Our family has been coming to Masa Sushi for several years. Sam is a gentle, hard-working, and thoughtful chef, who is generous with his portions and with his smiles! We always have a delightful meal when we go and even our 12 year old son recommends "The Mas" for their great value! We highly recommend Masa Sushi for anyone who wants a simple and generous dining experience. Thank you, Sam! read more

Had a cockroach cross the dinner table. My wife freaked out, will not go back, my buddy had the same experience after mine.

The best sushi in Santa Fe without a doubt. The fish is fresh and the flavors fantastic. Great service as well as at reasonable prices.

This is the best - or at least tied for best- sushi in Santa Fe. The rolls, soups, and noodle dishes are delicious and I have always had great service. The atmosphere is casual and, while the decor is a bit on the tacky side, the food is first rate. read more

Son enjoyed the California rolls. Tuna and yellow tail sushi was good as was the udon noodles. Complimentary dessert was much appreciated.

Best Sushi in New Mexico! Healthy servings (especially for sushi) and tasted like the frish was flown in an hour before we sat down. No pretentious atmosphere- we felt like we were in a local Hokido sushi restaurant. We had tried the place a few times earlier but could never figure out when it was opened-a little frustrating but WORTH the wait. Don't miss this place! read more

Best sushi in Sante Fe! This restaurant has a homey, family feel and has a very, very friendly staff and excellent service and reasonable prices! They are always adding great specials. I also like how the chefs are flexible enough to customize pretty much any order to make it just how you like it. I also enjoy their large selection of Sake. I will keep coming back to Masa Sushi all the time! read more

We are locals, live nearby, and have been coming to Masa a couple of times per month for years. It has usually provided a balance between value and quality - not the best sushi available in Santa Fe, but decent for the price. This evening we took several friends for an impromptu celebratory night out and ordered a couple of mid-range bottles of sake for the table. When the check arrived, we noticed that we had been charged for significantly more expensive bottles. When we questioned the charge, we were told that the server had delivered the wrong bottles and we would have to pay for them. I spoke with the owner and he blamed the server before getting hostile and refusing to discuss the issue any further. We paid the bill, and those are the last dollars we will spend in this establishment - not worth arguing with people who don't care about the customer experience. Having spent a lot of time in the service industry, I was absolutely shocked and consider this a horrible response to an easily-solved problem requiring minimal flexibility on the part of the restaurant to keep regular customers happy, and it has forever soured me on this neighborhood hole in the wall. After this incident, I'll never take my family back for a meal, and you shouldn't either - a decade of patronage means nothing in this place. read more
