Our food was wonderful and so was the sake! Our server was knowledgeable and helped us make some great sake choices. We will definitely be back!

Disappointing. It's a lovely idea to finish your spa experience with dinner at Izanami, but we given them serval opportunities and won't return. Our old pattern of post-spa Burrito Spot is a better option!

We enjoyed the food, sake, and service however the time between each course was around 25 minutes. It seemed like the kitchen was is the weeds throughout the dinner.

The Sumi room is a beautiful new addition to the offerings at Izanami! The ambiance felt more like a fancy date night in this space than the main dining room. The staff was attentive, friendly, and kind throughout the evening. The sashimi was phenomenal as always, tofu “pasta” was really fun, and the apple kimchi salad was fresh and different. We always love going there for fancy date nights, and I don't see that changing any time soon :)

This is purist sushi. If you really like fish with no frills it is fantastic! I personally prefer some variety but not a negative, just my preference

It is very hard to find at night with very poor signage. Once we found it, everything was great.

Excellent evening with wonderful food. The service was top notch. Jon provided fabulous recommendations, an interesting education on sake and made the evening fun. Definitely worthy of a return visit.

Absolutely my favorite place to celebrate. Delicious food every time - high quality ingredients- and the most extensive sake menu in New Mexico. Our server John was a gem.

“Japanese steak, 500°F hot stone. No shortcuts—just pure heat, flavor, and patience. The moment that stone hits the meat, it's poetry in smoke.🔥🥩🇯🇵 #JapaneseSteak #HotStoneCooking #FoodTherapy #SizzleMood”

All the way from upstate NY to experience the spa and dine at Izanami. Fabulous in one word.

Two and half hours for lunch after being seated late at a mostly empty restaurant. Awkward and unprepared wait staff plus a very very slow delivery of food and drinks. Unacceptable service for the price of the meal which was very good.

I don't know that it was great or lived up to the fame. "The Experience" wasn't great. Two clearly unqualified hostess at the front that are not welcoming or elegant at all. The place is pretty, but again, not "wow" like people make it up to be. I was surprised at how casual people were dressed - shabby in most instances. The room we were sat in is very unimpressive. It doesn't provide intimacy for a date night. The lamps hanging above you make you feel you are out in the open, little table lamps are much more private and romantic. The booth cushions were not only loose, but very grimy. The floors are not clean and the table a little sticky. Table settings were not fabulous - paper napkins, not cloth - the whole thing unimpressive. Waitress came over and asked "How we are feeling" Kept asking the whole night. Her and the rest of the staff all dressed in wrinkled clothes - you would think the restaurant would have custom clothing and a uniform service ensuring everyone looks crisp and professional. All very nice, but all clearly not trained in the art of Japanese cousine and service. Sushi fell apart, beef was paper thin, sake was served in an ice bucket, beer was not Japanese, food just wasn't tasty or well presented at all. Final tab was $200 - our little sushi spot downtown Santa Fe has much higher quality, better service and our tabs there run around $130. Portions are generous and very well presented. I was expecing SO MUCH MORE - instead of a "Japanese Restaurant" we found just a place where to eat kiiind of Japanese food. My girlfriend loves 10-Th-W and she agreed that it wasn't great. There is A LOT of room for improvement in all areas! From service to food. Sorry -

Food was delicious! Service was a bit slow and inattentive. Space is great! I recommend booking a booth!!!
