Sushi 8 is decent for mid priced sushi. It’s our go to. Not gonna light the world on fire, but solid rolls and a decent variety. Kohnami is about the same quality but more expensive
I’m sorry I don’t agree with Sushi 8. I just went there and the food is gross and greasy. And eating in the restraurant is disgusting. They do not clean up after people and there was food in the cracks of the tables.
Oh that's great! I love that place. That little area between chomp, brake room and hard cider is my favorite for nights out. I tend to bounce between those three.
Try Tokyo Cafe. I find their sushi to be decent. My favorite is the sashimi plate that’s like $25 for 12 pieces of sashimi and a side of furikake rice.
El Nido has the best sushi I’ve eaten in Santa Fe. I thought the pricing was fair. Of course it depends what you order. Less expensive than Izanami
There’s that sushi food truck but I’ve tried to eat there 3 times and they never showed up so I gave up trying. I hear it’s good tho
I’ve eaten sushi away from the ocean often in my life and I’m fine. But the best seafood in general is usually by the ocean for sure I agree! Or it’s at places that fly it in where it’s frozen sea to shore and shipped quickly. Even sushi grade fish in Japan is frozen regularly. The freezing guidelines there are more specific and thorough than here in the states by far though.
For sure. But it flies to Albuquerque which is a small city and Santa Fe is an hour away from the airport. You don’t want to base your choice on price.
I thought Sushi a la Hattori in Taos was quite good when I went on a day trip there to hike Wheeler Peak and it’s an even smaller mountain town. It’s also basically the only sushi in Taos other than the grocery store. There’s one other place there that’s decent but not as good. But I had also hiked all day so maybe it just tasted extra extra good after all the physical activity lol
Oh no haha 😂 definitely not the top tourist attraction here but I’ll take what I can get that’s decent living in the desert. I’ve only ever lived in NM and AZ my whole life. I’ve gone on trips to other states but when you live in the desert…. Gotta find what’s decent and make do when the craving hits. 😀
Yeah true, some guy in here was trolling saying he’s a business exec coming from Denver and needed THE FRESHEST FISH and people in the comments lost their goddamn minds.
Anyway, my fav is the new spot Uchi or the Thursday tumbleroot pop-up, all other ones are just like any meh midrange you can get but the ones I listed serve super fresh buttery fish and give large portions
**it’s actually Ozu, my bad!
It’s right across from the og iconic - they also have a super small menu that rotates so if you want something specific I would call ahead.
I’m sorry. Truth is. If you don’t go to 10,000 Waves, Izynami, you won’t get good sushi. It doesn’t exist in this state. There is no such thing as “inexpensive” sushi. It’s one meal you don’t look for a “deal” on.
Putting in a recommendation for Jesushi. It's a food truck, but makes excellent sushi. Only drawback is they close at 5, which can be tricky
Damn I won’t be able to get dinner until 6 but I do love food trucks!
They’ll be at the railyard for sol Sunday this Sunday
Kai or Masa sushi are also decent options. There’s Thurs night sushi at tumbleroot, too.
Kai looks really good I’ll put that one in the shortlist probably!
Kai is awesome.
Kai on St Michaels
Seconding Kai.
Kai is good and reliable. Get the Kai roll
I used to go to Kai but I now swear by Masa.

Thanks for the feedback on those two :)
You got it. Hope you have a satisfying meal!
Same. Agree.

Tokyo cafe
Does Tumbleroot still do Thursday night sushi pop up?
Gonna be in town for the weekend not a Thursday but if I was it looks good!
They’re doing a pop up at the New Mexico Hard Cider taproom on either Fridays or Saturdays now too.
Oh that's great! I love that place. That little area between chomp, brake room and hard cider is my favorite for nights out. I tend to bounce between those three.
Me too! 😳 (Do I know you?)
Yes it’s super tasty
Then that's my recommendation
The co-op. Masa sushi close to the co-op is better, but if you’re going cheap as possible, the co-op has you covered.
Try Tokyo Cafe. I find their sushi to be decent. My favorite is the sashimi plate that’s like $25 for 12 pieces of sashimi and a side of furikake rice.
My favorite is the new mexico roll 🔥
The California + 2 roll lunch special is my favorite.
On Friday's Albertsons has sushi for $6.00.
If you’re going grocery store sushi, the rolls at market street are 🔥
Whole foods has good one as well
We love Kohnami. Have had great experiences and some of our best meals there

Tokyo cafe is pretty good and they have a drive thru and when I really don’t wanna break the bank Albertsons is good sometimes
I don’t say no to grocery store sushi when I’m in a pinch but I’m looking for a sit down experience this time to sit and talk with my friends :)
Kohnami!
Definitely don't recommend Kai. Kohnami is great.
Thanks for the rec

Fair opinion but not relevant considering the question.
It’s Santa Fe. A small city in the mountains. Far from any ocean. Don’t base your sushi choice on price.

You doing a day trip to Santa Fe and want sushi? Please tell me you’ve atleast tried New Mexican food
I live in New Mexico. So of course I have. 😂
Lmao thank goodness- the thought of a tourist coming to Santa Fe only for sushi was pretty comical to me

Thanks for the tip! Uchi doesn’t even pop up at first glance when I google it I’ll keep looking.
