Hot sake

Yellowtail tasted AMAZING! Miso soup with jalapeños is the only way to have it! Everything was made to order, fresh and so tasty!! Service was great, everyone is so friendly! It was pretty busy but it didn't take long for our food to come out. It's on the smaller side but there's seating at the bar.

Nevada Roll / Salmon Sushi
Ken P.

The Nevada Roll was excellent as was the Salmon Sushi. I never thought I would brag about the ginger but this was the best ginger I've ever had!

spicy hand rolls: salmon, tuna and yellowtail. The specialty roll has yellowtail and jalapeño slices...YUM!!!

Great for take out sushi...I like their hand rolls and the specialty roll they make that has yellowtail and jalapeño slices (pictured). Interior is basic, not a first date kinda place. But good for a family, individual, or group of friends starting out an evening. The service is friendly and pretty fast for food to order. Can't wait to try their tonkatsu Raman and poke bowls next!

We decided to try a different sushi spot in Santa Fe. The location is great. It is away from the plaza area, where parking is easier. The service was a little different at this establishment, but not bad. You order at the counter and they bring it out to your table. The staff were all super friendly and the food came out quick. They do have a large menu, so I'm sure you will find something you like. The food wasn't bad at all and the prices were good. What I really like about Joy's is that is connected to an Asian market. We checked out the store after we ate and I found a lot of interesting things. It's worth checking out.

The husband and I love this place! Truly a hidden gem. Being from Hawaii I'm always looking for good sushi spots and after eating here multiple times now, Joys is solid! Very good sushi with very good prices. Staff is friendly and quick. The space is clean and usually quite calm. Also love that it's right next to the asian market (which is also very good!).

My husband always makes fun of me for eating sushi in non-standard places: gas station sushi, sushi in the Middle East....and so I thought of that when I decided to get sushi in New Mexico. While it looks unimpressive from the outside (in a strip mall) the location is legit because it is connected to an Asian grocery store. Inside there are quite a few tables and a sushi bar. Everything is clean including the restroom. You order at the counter and then they bring your food to you. They have a gigantic menu! Like fifty different rolls! I got the Nevada Roll and it was outstanding. The sushi was fresh and of good quality (and in from Southern California where I eat sushi weekly). I liked the variety of rolls and si es. They have fountain sodas and also a variety of specialty Japanese drinks. The service was good and everyone was friendly and helpful. They also do to go orders. Overall I had a great experience and after eating Mexican food for 3 days this was a welcome meal in my trip to New Mexico!

A wonderful sushi joint that is consistently busy and won't break the bank. I took both my Mom and daughter here on separate occasions and enjoyed our experience. It's counter service and takeout only, but the sushi is great. They have taken bowls and poke bowls as well. Located inside the Santa Fe Asian Market, the ambiance isn't quite restaurant quality, but it's worth the price.

Marina Roll
Jeff B.

FINALLY!!! Exceptional sushi in Santa Fe that WON'T break your bank account!! SO GOOD!! I stopped by Joy's Sushi for take out this afternoon, and I am extremely impressed! First of all... the menu is HUGE. They literally have 60 special rolls to choose from on the menu. I ordered 8 pieces of nigiri sushi... Salmon, Yellowtail. White Tuna and Unagi (eel) and it was exceptional! Super fresh, BIG thick cuts of fish with minimal rice, which is how nigiri sushi should be made!! And I ordered 3 different rolls. Marina Roll, Living Color Roll and the Samurai Roll. ALL delicious!! The place was super clean, super comfortable, and truly a bargain for amazing sushi. This will be my new go to place in Santa Fe! OH... and the sliced ginger served with the sushi was incredibly fresh and juicy and tasty. Master Sushi chef David knows what he's doing!! And Vonn, his apprentice is also super knowledgable, friendly and welcoming. Overall, a great place!! This is a simple, straight forward sushi bar without all the bells and whistles that jack up the price. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

Solid Japanese food, but if you're visiting from a city like San Francisco or New York, it's not…read moregoing to be better than what you can get at home. That being said, it's great option if you want a break from New Mexican / Mexican food while in Santa Fe. We got: - chutoro sashimi - This wasn't worth it, we much preferred the hamachi - hamachi sashimi - Multiple people commented this was their favorite dish of the night - miso eggplant - Another favorite for many, although I found it too saucy for me - daikon salad - Light and vinegary, one of my friends loved this dish - yuba pappardelle - Really interesting - it worked better than I expected although I'm not a big fan of those flavors (I'd rather have Asian flavors with my yuba). The yuba itself was excellent in texture. - tako plate - Well executed and not too fishy - black sesame noodles - Solid, I liked that this came with a bunch of vegetables (burdock, carrot). - mango panna cotta - fine, but not my favorite panna cotta texture (more on the yogurty side of texture) My friends also loved the namazake.

I organized a special group outing for seven for the spa and planned our lunch here before a 1:00…read morePM spa appointment. When booking, I called twice and was assured by two separate hosts that as long as we knew our orders upon arrival, we would have plenty of time. However, the experience was disappointing from the start. Upon arrival, the manager treated us as if we were walk-ins without a reservation and completely dismissed the information we were given over the phone stating "they'd handle the host who told us it'd be fine". Once seated, as previous calls indicated we should do, we placed our order immediately and clarified that three of us needed to leave by 12:40 PM for our appointments. By 12:45 PM, everyone had finished eating except for two people- our guest of honor and a pregnant party member- whose food still hadn't arrived despite asking if it'd be arriving soon (around 1235). When we inquired (around 1250) the server admitted they had accidentally given their dish (steak bimbibap) to another table and would have to remake it. By 1:20 PM, after the rest of our party had already left for the spa, the missing meal still hadn't arrived except for one person who was waiting to receive it. When staff finally brought out the meal- they placed it on the table (empty of people) and someone who was clearing the table accidentally threw dirty napkins directly onto the plate. They offered to remake it once more to go and removed that single dish from our bill. but the replacement steak bibimbap was extremely bland and the steak mostly fat. Throughout this entire experience, no one offered an apology; instead, the staff made us feel like we were at fault despite our planning and communication. While the spa management was kind enough to offer us a discount after hearing what happened, I cannot recommend this restaurant given the service, lack of accountability, and food quality.

It is owned by Koreans. A Japanese restaurant, sure. Their Dolsot Bibimbap is absolutely AMAZING…read more As good as any you'll taste in Korea. Served in hot stone bowls, the egg mixed in and cooked against the bowl at your table.

We've frequented this restaurant on and off for years, and have two recent experiences to report…read moreon. We attended a matinee performance in downtown Santa Fe on a Sunday with our teenage, twin grand-daughters. They enjoy Asian food, and requested we go to Kohnami. Everyone was happy with their meal choices, though I don't actually remember exactly what I ordered. Our food was delivered in good time, and we mostly caught up on family news while eating. Service was on top of things, as we were out in the main dining area, next to the sushi bar. A few weeks later, the girls requested we go there for their 16th birthday, a family celebration. We reserved a table for 9, and were seated in the very back of the restaurant, past the tatami rooms. Unfortunately, even though it was a Wednesday evening with not many patrons on hand and a 6:30 reservation, service was glacial. It was a full fifteen minutes before we were served water, and another ten minutes before anyone came for our orders. The drink orders came out sporadically and incompletely, and then our food started arriving in very unpredictable bursts. My beef teriyaki was served early on, but it was overcooked and difficult to eat with only chopsticks. The twins ordered noodle soups and sushi, and were very happy with their choices. Their grandfather, visiting from the Midwest, eventually had to get up and go inquire with the kitchen about his missing food order. In all, it took about 40 minutes for everyone to be served. Splitting the bill at the end turned out to be another ordeal, since they don't seem to have trained people on the cash register and we had to wait for a manager to help out. I know it's very difficult to get good restaurant help in these times. But there are some very basic rules of hospitality, and on this occasion Kohnami didn't manage to adhere to them. We're not writing them off, but we'll think twice about returning since Santa Fe is a gourmand's paradise.

Geronimo doesn't really need another five-star review, but our experience tonight was so lovely…read morethat I am writing this. 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.
