Arrival was remarkably effortless with a convenient parking lot situated right outside. Stepping inside, the layout is wonderfully well-appointed and spotlessly clean. While the space is somewhat intimate in scale, it is adorned with stunning traditional Chinese-style murals that lend a refined, high-end atmosphere to the entire room. The hospitality was top-tier from the moment we arrived attentive, gracious, and extraordinarily welcoming. I began with a chilled iced tea, which provided a clean, refreshing complement to the meal. The menu itself is impressively curated and systematically organized with clean item codes like 'B', G and 'S', making selection an absolute breeze. For my main course, I selected the 'B4' Braised Beef Noodle Soup. When served, the dish proved to be an absolute culinary triumph rich, aromatic, and infused with a perfectly balanced, sophisticated kick of spice that exceeded every expectation. Between the immaculate cleanliness, captivating decor, divine cuisine, and stellar service, this spot earns full marks from me. A thoroughly marvelous venue I shall most certainly be returning

I have visited Tamashi a few times and and just now getting to my review…read more I want to preface this by saying that they should have a five star review, but finish my reading this and you will see why. It is not the biggest restaurant, and is popular, so I would recommend being prepared to wait during "popular busy time" but it is so worth the wait. So I also recommend waiting. The staff is always pretty friendly and accommodating. I shared an app, a roll and an order of salmon sashimi with a friend on both visits. The food is always fresh, and delicious! I never feel like I am being overcharged for what I get either. Going to eat for sushi can feel like that sometimes. The quality of the food is great and everything is always aesthetically pleasing as well. I had their avocado bomb on my last visit and I was delightfully surprised with it. I like avocado in most cases, but sometimes, it can be a lot at one. I thought this was going to be like that when I saw it, but I was wrong. I look forward to getting one of these on my next visit! On my last visit my friend and I saved room for a dessert, one that we saw rotating on their screens that they have in the restaurant showcasing some of the menu items. It was a take on a bananas foster. It looked delicious but alas, we'll see if we can manage to get it next time. Note to self, have dessert first on next visit?

This restaurant has been renamed to Himawari instead of Naruto Ramen 505! It was pretty cool to see…read morethe owners still kept the name Naruto-related (iykyk). The food hall provided a lot of seating, although I will say it was a bit warm in there. The staff was friendly, and the meal came out moderately fast. The food was alright. The curry bowl was okay. I liked the addition of jalapeños. I've never seen that paired with Japanese curry before. The curry is strangely bland and salty at the same time. It is difficult to explain, but in short, there wasn't much depth to the flavor. The salmon topping on the chef's special roll was a bit overtorched, but it was still pretty good. Overall it was an okay place! If you needed a Japanese food spot to appease your cravings and there are no other locations nearby, it does its job fair enough.

Like most restaurants we like to visit, it is family owned with nice decor and enough space. The menu shows many Japanese and Thai options, all of them equally appetizing. The server was quite friendly, helping us choose the chicken Pad Thai (extra spicy) and the beef pineapple rice. The pad Thai was deliciously spicy on its own accord, but the Thai chiles gave it the extra kick the hubby was hoping for. An additional chile paste gave it a bit of smokiness. The pineapple rice was slightly sweet, as expected. What surprised me was that it had raisins! I do not like raisins but the dish was so good and the raisins were such a muted ingredient that I did not mind it. Overall, this was a very nice and satisfying first visit at Tomi Sushi, getting us interested in trying more items in their menu.

And, yes, *dip* the tacos in the consume. It's so fabulously savory and delicious. I think these are the best tacos I've ever had. Ever. The consume is worth drinking. Yes, yes I sure did pick up the bowl and drink it after I'd finished my tacos. And the beans...they somehow taste just like what my mom made when I was a kid. The rice was also exceptional. Our server was John. We were there in the middle of the afternoon and service was quick. Apparently, they have taco specials on Tuesdays and all you can eat on Thursdays (sign says before 6pm). This place is going onto our frequent list for sure. So yummy.

The consommé was a little bland, but there was enough going on with the pizza that I didn't really need the consommé. They have a Wednesday special that includes the Birria pizza and 2 agua frescas for a perfect meal for 2!

Sawmill Market is a fantastic, vibrant culinary destination that offers an incredible variety of…read moreethnic cuisines in Albuquerque's historic Sawmill District just north of Old Town. Located in what was once a working lumber yard dating back to the turn of the 20th century, the striking industrial-yet-modern design brilliantly pays homage to the property's rich history with high ceilings, open structures, and authentic architectural touches. Inside, you'll find choices from more than 25 local vendors -- Vietnamese, Japanese/sushi, Thai, New Mexican, Mediterranean, artisan burgers, salads, sandwiches, fish & chips, local craft beers, wines, and specialty cocktails. There is truly something for every preference and the options can accommodate almost any dietary restriction imaginable. The layout features plenty of comfortable indoor seating, plus a fantastic outdoor space (called "The Yard") that offers extra seating, a lawn area, and a stage for live events. Finding a parking spot in the two off-street lots adjacent to the building can be difficult during peak hours, but with a little patience, you can usually find a spot in one of the lots or on the street.

During our trip to Albuquerque for the Kehlani concert, we stumbled upon Sawmill Market, and let me…read moretell you, this was one of the highlights of our food adventures! We found the food hall and honestly didn't know what to expect. However, we were so pleasantly surprised that we ended up coming back TWO days in a row. The concept itself is wonderful. You have so many different food options to select from, which is perfect when you're traveling with people who all want something different. We decided that rather than commit to one place, we would try a little something from several of the restaurants. One thing I want to acknowledge is the pricing. Coming from Colorado, we were pleasantly surprised by how reasonably priced many of the options were, especially considering the quality of the food. I will note that seating was a bit of a challenge on our first night. We believe this may have been due to homecoming, the upper floor being reserved for a private event, and the rainy, cold weather making the outdoor seating less desirable. There were plenty of people enjoying the market, but not nearly enough seating available for everyone at that moment. Now, onto the food! We tried several different restaurants throughout our visits, including Hiro Sushi, Outlaw Chicken, Tulipani, and Flora Taco To Go. Hiro Sushi had an AMAZING spicy tuna roll, and if you've followed my reviews, you know how long we've been searching for one that delivers the perfect flavor. We actually ordered it twice! Outlaw Chicken was another delicious experience. The chicken was flavorful, and the fries and broccolini were cooked to perfection. Tulipani absolutely won us over with their Creamy Lemon pasta. It was so delicious that we ordered it twice and even took some home with us. We also explored Flora Taco To Go, where the carnitas tacos were easily the highlight of what we ordered. Overall, I love the concept of Sawmill Market. It gives you the opportunity to explore several different cuisines, enjoy a little bit of everything, and find some truly delicious food. Despite the seating challenges on our first night, we enjoyed ourselves so much that returning was an easy decision. This is absolutely somewhere I would recommend visiting when you're in Albuquerque!
