    salmon
    Maggie L.

    really good food and excellent service. Husband had salmon and I had crab roll. Both very good. Definitely will return.

    Side salad with house dressing
    Francisco T.

    Didnt take good pictures but I ordered takeout for lunch on a Sunday. Quick service and nice employees. I got the teriyaki salmon bento plate with miso soup, gyoza and 6 california rolls, it also came with steamed white rice and a side salad with a house dressing. I also ordered a separate order of sushi rolls. (Not pictured) You have the option of gyoza or edamame. The salmon was cooked nicely, the skin was crispy and the meat itself was still moist. It was served over a bed of steamed broccoli and one slice of carrot. The gyoza came with a dipping sauce. Which was good. The California rolls were filled nicely, the sushi rice was a little dry, as well as the wasabi, was a little dry. There was no soy sauce given to me, so I had to eat it dry. The steamed rice was also a little dry but it was good. The side salad was actually good with the house dressing. The miso soup was flavorful although I only recieved 3 small pieces of tofu, a little more would've been nice. It had seaweed which provided good flavor. My other order of sushi was the rainbow rolls, which came with an assortment of fish on top. It had avocado salmon, tuna, and another white fish, not sure what it was... it was good. Again the rice was a bit dry and no soy sauce was given for the wasabi. The ginger was loaded and flavorful which I enjoy. The fish was flavorful, the white fish was a little dry, the salmon didnt have much a salmon flavor but was moist and good. The tuna was the most flavorful. I would eat there again and try another bento box and another type of sushi roll.

    Sushi pizza

    Really nice decor and plenty of seating for large groups. The service was polite and accommodating. The sushi chef was very nice and answered all our questions while he worked with a smile. We ordered lots of sushi ala cart and everything we had was delicious and largely portioned. The chef even gave us a sushi pizza to try and it was delicious. If you are in the Santa Fe area I highly recommend this place.

    Haven't eaten here years but use to be one of my wife's favorites for bento boxes. I decided to dine here for dinner since I was craving a bento box. I had the teriaki salmon box which was very good. What I like about it is you get a little of everything including a salad and soup so it is surprisingly very filling. Staff I'd friendly and attentive, and I got seated immediately. Definitely will return.

    The sushi and sashimi for two!
    Bill G.

    Located right across the street from our hotel (El Rey), thought why not. It was a great choice. The menu had so many choices. There was something for everyone. We shared the sushi and sashimi for two and added a few more rolls. Great flavor and a good feeling of freshness. I know that is hard to pull off at a sushi place in New Mexico, but they did. It was moderately busy, so service was a little slow. Worth the wait when the food arrived. Nothing special with the ambiance, but the food presentation on the boat was very cool. We will return next time we are in Santa Fe.

    Food was fine. However, a sushi place should pay impeccable attention to detail. Removed a star for getting getting my online order wrong. Please pay closer attention to details, especially on to go orders. I did not go back to have them correct the order, as I was on my lunch break and did not discover the mistake until I got back to the office and opened the bag.

    sushi was great:) lots of good options to choose from and the fish tasted fresh and great! the servers were real nice, considerate and checked up on us consistently! if i'm ever in santa fe again ill come here! thank you!

    Decent location, nice decor, and ok Japanese food. My jasmine tea was flavorful and aromatic, it was also presented in a nice heavy small pot and a nice cup, for appetizer we ordered takoyaki and stuff pepper - the takoyaki was ok, was soft outside and mushy, barely there minced octopus and my main course was shrimp and scallops hibachi combo was serve in a nice big plate, food was sad looking and taste was sadder. Redeeming value is the place is tastefully decorated and the stuff pepper was good.

    Indoors

    Visiting Santa Fe and after a trip to Meow Wolf, I came across Japanese Cafe on my way back to the hotel. I decided to stop for lunch. I was the first one there for lunch and got a booth all to myself, which was nice. The waitress noticed I wasn't in a rush, so she gave me ample time to look at the menu. There's quite a lot of options ranging from hibachi and bento boxes to sushi and fried rice. I opted for two sushi rolls, the Sakura and a classic rainbow. It took a while for the rolls to come out of the kitchen, but seeing as I wasn't in a rush, I didn't mind. When they arrived, the first thing I noticed is that the rainbow roll, although only a dollar cheaper than the Sakura, was substantially smaller in size. Bit disappointing. The Sakura roll was the size it should be and also tasted great. Usually when I order two rolls somewhere, I feel stuffed; but this time I could have probably fit another one of their rainbow rolls in lol. Overall, I had a good experience and I would come back here to try some of their other foods if I ever get the chance. But sushi rolls that are of a similar type shouldn't vary so much in size.

    Great presentation

We started the evening with the Volcano, a drink that's on fire upon arrival. So fun and delicious. As we were munching on the assortment of veggies and shrimp from the Tempura appetizer, the Southern Belle cocktail (oh so perfectly peachy) and a Mandarin Blossom martini arrived. Delicious! We probably should have stopped there, but the drink menu is just too tempting! So we shared a final cocktail, the Mango Mojito. And we weren't the only folks celebrating. We saw several reserved tables full of happy people commemorating their moments at Jinja, too.

    INCREDIBLE. After living in Santa Fe for 30 years I can…read moretruly say that Jinja came on the scene quite some time ago, I just went there today and the restaurant is absolutely thriving with a full bar and every table occupied! Over the years, I've had a few things on the menu, but my absolute favorite, which is one of my absolute favorite dishes I've ever had is their Singapore Style Noodles Singapore style noodles is often my go to when I have to eat cheap fast Chinese food in Tennessee or other less sophisticated places This is different ! The way the chef executes this incredible dish reminds me a little more of Thai or Laotian food than Chinese ! The noodles have such a complex curry with a bit of sweetness they are not the standard yellow curry powder that you can buy off Amazon. The Char Sui Pork in the dish is to die for !! moist, tender and perfectly tasty Interesting that it is served with a lime wedge, which definitely makes me think Thai influence! Anyway, I thoroughly enjoyed this dish after having it many times over the years and will truly say it is one of the best Asian dishes I've ever eaten anywhere including Los Angeles, Hawaii, and Washington DC all of which I resided in Maybe I'll find something better on a trip to Hong Kong who knows ?? By the way, I met Jesus here (Not the holy resurrected one ! ) He's a friendliest bartender you will ever meet and he made me the very best Mai Thai I've ever tried, which is their house specialty drink. I also met the owners of a wonderful art gallery in Santa Fe today. Who I plan to stay in touch with INCREDIBLE experience Jinja ROCKS. Deserves five stars or more

The goodness began with Naomi, who helped me fix an error in my reservation and get a table at a good time tonight. The goodness continued with our server Mitzi, who should be teaching graduate classes in hospitality in every big city. She was friendly without being overbearing, informative without being pedantic, subtle and gracious. Now, the food! My wife chose the vegetarian tasting menu and I had some of each dish: so very flavorful (a green salad with pears, a life-changing mushroom bisque [and I don't like mushrooms!], a chickpea croquette with pickled artichoke hearts and ratatouille, and a substitution of the lemon crepe for three yummy scoops of sorbet and gelato. I chose the scallops, perfectly cooked and moist, over couscous, and a dish of tasty sauteed baby spinach. A wonderful experience, and not overpriced, and everyone treated us sweetly. The musical soundtrack was swinging, and at a compassionate volume. Our first trip to Santa Fe, and we found a gem. Hooray! And thank you, Mitzi!

    This was our last dinner out in Santa Fe and was the best dining and culinary experience here…read more Everyone told us this is the best fine dining in the entire state and they were correct. The interior is classy and very comfortable. We were seated at a nice comfy corner booth. The soft music in the background was soothing and just noticeable enough without being a distraction. We were served complimentary flutes of local sparking wine and a fresh baked bread basket and butter to start. We then ordered cocktails and three starters. First was a split plate of the endive smoked duck salad with a warm bacon vinegarette. Wow...this was nice and refreshing. This was followed by the crab dumplings with fresh corn and peas and lobster sauce. Delicious! The final small plate was seared foie gras on top of banana bread toast. This was very good. I miss foie gras. Unfortunately, it's banned in California. They had a 2023 Sea Smoke "Ten"Pi ot Noir on the wine list. This is one of the best Pinot Noirs produced in California and not easy to find. This was a no doubter and we ordered a bottle to pair with our entrees. My wife ordered their signature elk tenderloin for redemption because the restaurant the night before failed at executing this. I ordered the tomahawk pork chop. This was cooked to perfection with a nice thin crust on the outside and a perfect very light pink juicy center. We ordered a side of brocolini that was pan roasted with shallots and butter. Everything was very good and Michelin grade in our opinion. Lastly we ended the evening and split the tiramasu type of desert. My wife had the expresso martini and I had an 18 year old Glen Morangie scotch neat. The service was excellent and worth the splurge. This is a must when visiting Santa Fe.

Originally, we had a reservation for 6:30 p.m., but after spending the afternoon exploring the galleries nearby, we happened to pass the restaurant around 5:00 and thought we would simply ask if there was any chance of being seated a bit earlier. We fully understood that the answer might be no. A simple, gracious "We're unable to accommodate you before your reservation time" would have been perfectly reasonable. Instead, our interaction with the owner left us feeling genuinely unwelcome. When I asked whether she would simply prefer that we return at our reserved time, her response was something to the effect of, "Your reservation is at 6:30, but I'm trying to find you a table, so you'll have to wait, okay?" The tone was unnecessarily dismissive and condescending. It was surprising, especially considering we had approached with nothing more than a polite question. What made the experience more difficult was watching the owner interact warmly and graciously with every other party that walked through the door. As a young lesbian couple, we couldn't help but wonder whether we had been judged before we were even given the opportunity to sit down. Perhaps that wasn't the case, but perception matters, and unfortunately that was how the interaction made us feel. Once we were seated, however, the rest of the staff was wonderful. Our server and the team throughout the evening were attentive, professional, and genuinely hospitable. They provided the level of service one hopes for in a restaurant of this caliber, and they deserve recognition for making the dining experience enjoyable despite our initial interaction. The food itself was exceptional. Every dish beautifully honored traditional Vietnamese flavors while presenting them with remarkable elegance and refinement. The balance, depth of flavor, and meticulous presentation were all outstanding. From a culinary perspective alone, this is unquestionably a five-star restaurant. It is precisely because the food is so extraordinary that our initial experience with the owner was such a disappointment. Hospitality is every bit as important as cuisine. Fine dining is about creating an experience where guests feel welcomed, respected, and cared for from the moment they walk through the door. Food has an incredible ability to nourish not only the body but also the spirit, and the energy with which it is served inevitably becomes part of the meal itself. I sincerely hope the owner reflects on the way guests are welcomed. Kindness costs nothing, and we never truly know what someone else may be carrying with them that day. This restaurant has all the makings of a truly exceptional dining destination. With warmth that matches the caliber of its cuisine, it would be unforgettable.

The restaurant itself is beautiful. We loved the interior décor, the comfortable seating, and the warm, romantic atmosphere.

The Tuna Tartare was incredibly fresh, the Street Corn Velouté was rich and creative with red chile popcorn and lime crema, and the Seared Crab Cake was packed with crab and cooked beautifully. For our entrées, the Prime Filet Mignon and Cowboy Ribeye were both cooked to perfection and paired wonderfully with whipped potatoes, peppercorn demi, and sautéed asparagus.
