Nagomi Restaurant

Of all the Japanese restaurants in Albuquerque this reminds me the most of being in Japan. I usually come to have a bento box at lunch, and they are excellent - as good as any I had in Tokyo or Osaka.

If you're looking for a japanese restaurant run by actual japanese people, this is the spot. The sushi was good, I will say japanese ramen is normally salty, thats the japanese way.. but, I think they've toned it down for Americans. I got the nagomi ramen and had very high hopes as tonkotsu miso is my favorite, but it was rather bland, it had broccoli in it which totally sapped all the meaty flavor you should get. My wife got the curry ramen which was tasty but once again was missing the saltiness that you should have with japanese food. Also, the soft boiled ajitama eggs you normally get with ramen were just regular hard boiled eggs, not marinated, and overcooked (see green ring on the yolk). So the food was only 3 stars but the rest of the experience is 5 stars. I'll go again to figure out if I went on an off day.
They did have a little area with japanese snacks and a box of free japanese magazines which was pretty awesome. Cool spot

Excellent tonkotsu ramen and chicken katsu. The only place I’ve ever been in the US that does traditional Shabu-Shabu

Unassuming sushi restaurant with delicious, fresh fish. Prices are reasonable, especially in this climate.

We ordered the snapper carpaccio, chirashi, and seafood udon. Everything was delicious and our server was fantastic!

Only downside is the restaurant is very warm inside, but just ask for an iced water/tea and you'll be good.

My favorite Japanese food in town for hot foods. Sushi is also good here though. Chef/owner born in Tokyo so very authentic. Mostly always the same waitress working there and she can be pretty unfriendly (pro tip: if you want ice cream for dessert let her know early so she can’t make the excuse that it’s frozen solid). Nothing not worth dealing with but be prepared. I’ve also had a different server once who was very good. Can be a bit grimy and dark inside. Restaurant and front sidewalk are wheelchair accessible but I don’t remember any handicap spaces in the parking lot.

They are great for dining in, really delicious. But I don't recommend take-out, we ordered several sushi rolls and a couple had certain ingredients missing, one had a soapy flavor, just generally pretty underwhelming. So if you go, dine in!

Review rating being dropped because of negative service received. We as usual called in to place an order for pick up. The phone was answered quickly and I was told that they would not take our pho e order right now as they are too busy. If you can't provide the service then you don't get my business nor will refer people to your restaurant.
If you had time to answer the call and rudely tell us how you can't take our order, you had enough time.
Again- taking my business elsewhere after this.

Love the shabu-shabu at Nagomi. The grilled mackerel is also a favorite of mine. Overall, the food is great and the service is prompt.

The food was really good! I love all the options on the menu, and I am not normally a fan of Miso soup, but it was very delightful! The curry was amazing, and I loved the presentation. The staff was really nice too. The service was a little less than great because they forgot to check on us and ask if we wanted more drinks. But otherwise it was a very nice experience.

I have been there several times for a long time. I sometimes won't go because of rudeness. One waitress was replaced terrible attitude and I was glad to hear the news. Yesterday I went, and was treated rudely by the owner/ chef. I was the last one to leave. Before I could sign my bill he switched the lights out and I could barely read my bill. The waitress kept apologizing and was embarrassed. I insisted she tell him how rude he was in doing so... Maybe he should consider his behavior also affects his staff and customers. Thank God we now have several good sushi eateries. I will not go there or recommend it again. -$$$$$
