I've been hearing about this place for 2 years. I currently live in Colorado and made the trip down…read morethis weekend, specifically to eat here. We got there 5 minutes after it opened and the restaurant was already half full with people still pouring in. We ordered a ton of food and though it took a bit longer, we actually enjoyed how our food trickled in for us to share and eat, drink, and talk. Made for an experience. We also had kids with us and I was surprised by the kid entree and the price. Well worth it to bring the youngins. The sushi was delicious, fresh, and flavorful. Some of the rolls mixed with the green chili were my favorite, a mix of two cultures that paired so well. We left so satisfied!!! Can't wait until our next adventure to Taos! P.s...try the oyster shooter! The best bite of the whole thing!

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.

Such a beautiful and peaceful dining experience during our Santa Fe trip…read more The walk up to the restaurant alone sets the tone...it's incredibly peaceful, surrounded by beautiful scenery, Buddha statues, and little inspirational touches that give the entire property such a calming, relaxing vibe. The drinks were yummy, and the food was absolutely delicious! I will say I went in expecting a larger selection of sushi and raw options, so the menu was a little different from what I had envisioned. That being said, everything we ordered was flavorful, beautifully prepared, and thoroughly enjoyed, so I definitely wasn't disappointed. They were noticeably short-staffed during our visit, so the service could have been better, but you could tell the staff was genuinely trying their best and working hard, which we appreciated. Overall, between the delicious food and drinks, beautiful setting, and peaceful atmosphere, Izanami was a really memorable stop on our Santa Fe trip. I would absolutely recommend it and would definitely go back again!

Food is mediocre. Had the salmon with a side of broccolini . Salmon over cooked and unseasoned-…read moredisappointed. Husband had the lamb. It was good but also unseasoned. Good chefs should know how to season meat. Service: We felt rushed. We were not finished with our appetizer when entrees arrived. Mine sat waiting for a while set aside. It was cold when I got to it. Waitress did not catch on to that. Customer beware to ask for desired doneness on your entree. Waitress did not know to ask. This place is à la carte. Main entrees on the high price side for quantity and quality of what you get. Being foodies perhaps we were expecting a better quality experience. That's always a drawback to dining out at expensive restaurants for the first time.

The best part of the representation of this restaurant was our server Kelly. She was pleasant…read moreknowledgeable and paid attention to detail, she's friendly. Nice ambience with the white tablecloth in the building looks very nice. Now for the food: I'm afraid it fell short all around. We split the meal and the roasted lamb shank unfortunately was not hot, only warm. The bowl that it was presented in was extremely hot and Kelly warned us. I needed to send that shank back to be warmed up, which she pleasantly accommodating my request and apologized. When it came out, it still was not very hot, but she tried. Our roasted beef salad was average, the vinaigrette was tangy, but not overpowering, the cheese may have been fresco or cotijo. The pine nuts could've been roasted, just a few seconds longer for flavor. Big disappointment was the French onion soup. Only because I've had French onion soup in Paris, where it was amazing. The soup was also not hot! French onion soup needs to be hot... The cheese was not melted or toasted. The croutons were below average the caramelization of the onions was good, but the broth was again only warm. If you've ever had French onion soup, you puncture the cheesy sometimes bubbling top and it is like a volcano. Not here. There you have it.

We had agedashi tofu, which was ok, but not lightly battered and fried. The tofu was just fried,…read morewhich is what is says on the menu. The tempura was not coated with tempura batter; the batter was more like what you would get in fried chicken. The miso soup had way too much dash or not enough miso. Maybe the waitress didn't stir the pot before she doled out the bowl. Wife has a sumo roll that was good, but loosely wrapped. I had the beef bowl, and it was ok. Teppan pan is probably better.

We ordered the Agedashi Tofu, Ultimate Salmon Roll, and Shrimp Tempura Roll, and all were fresh and tasty. One thing to be aware of is that many of their rolls contain crab sticks, so we asked for those to be removed. I also ordered the Udon soup, but it was much spicier than expected with no warning on the menu, so I had to send it back. Service was just okay since no one checked on us after the food arrived and we had to flag someone down for the check. Overall, a decent spot if you need a quick sushi fix in the Los Alamos area.
