Nagomi Japanese Restaurant

Stopped by here for a quick pick up. It's a small place. Service was friendly and a little slow. It took a while to be prepared when we ordered ahead via phone.We ordered 2 orders of Chicken Katsu appetizers, 6 Piece Gyoza, Kastu Donburi, & Beef Nagomi Ramen.For the chicken katsu appetizers we asked if it came with rice which we wanted them to, and the lady said they did. It was disappointing upon arrival at home and there was no rice included. We had to cook rice at home instead. The katsu pieces were crispy and the little one liked it, so that was good. Not a fan of the sauce it came with, though. 6 pc gyoza was good. We liked the sauce it came with as it was flavorful. Would reorder in the future. Katsu Donburi bowl was good. Would recommend and portion was just right.Nagomi Ramen - we asked for beef, but it looked like it was pork instead. It was pretty bland, which was disappointing. So maybe will get it spicy next time if we order again. Great portion size. Would consider going back to try their sushi and other options.

Japanese food in ABQ is pretty difficult to locate. I was in search of authentic flavors, not Japanese fusion. I had Nagomi bookmarked and was glad we finally tried it! On this first visit we were hesitant to try any raw seafood in fear that the sashimi & sushi would not be the freshest. We settled on Pork katsu, Japanese curry and sukiyaki. The curry had an eggplant option as well as the usual katsu choice. The curry sauce was really good. Sukiyaki was good, but not what I would call traditional. Soft shell crab app was also great as the crabs were plump! Will dine here again when I return!

As much as I wanted to love nagomi, it wasn't for me. The service was great, the place and bathrooms were clean... but the food is where I personally felt it was lacking. The sushi was room temperature at best -- and 2 of the 3 rolls we got were (supposed to be) cold rolls... the food was good, just not my style. I would come back if someone invited, but would not go out of my way to return.

I'm writing this review after 3 visits and trying something different each time. I had high hopes and am pleasantly pleased with their food! The Korean kimchi soup is FANTASTIC. I inhaled the kimchi (pre cooked and cooked). The pork katsu makes my Father extremely happy since that's his favorite dish and they make it wonderfully. I was happy with the sushi I ordered on my 2nd trip. Today, I ordered a bento box with the grilled mackerel. It was perfectly grilled. The skin was nice and crispy, and the meat of the fish was warm and moist. The tuna sashimi was great, and the tempura was battered well (not overdone/thick).

Food was fantastic! By far the best and most authentic Japanese food I've had in Albuquerque. I did not try the sushi, as there are SO many sushi restaurants around and we were just so thrilled to find a place that had a full menu of noodles, soups and rice dishes. The atmosphere is not fancy or impressive, feels a bit like an undiscovered hole in the wall. Service was good, it appeared there were only two people working - a hostess and a server - but as there were only a couple other patrons in the place, we were well attended to.Highly recommend if you are looking for good Japanese food that isn't just the same ol' afterthought hot dishes menu offered at most sushi places around town!

We have been going to this place for over five years. It has consistently been one of our favorite restaurants in Albuquerque and among the top sushi restaurants in town. Plenty of seating and one of the few places around that do authentic shabu shabu. The wait staff and the sushi chef are always very inviting and friendly, and as accommodating as they can be. The fish is always very fresh and very thick cut. Everything we've ever ordered off of the menu has been delicious.

Excellent from start to finish. Fresh fish. My spouse and I are used to Seattle sushi and while admittedly in Seattle this place might get 4 stars, for Albuquerque it has earned its 5 stars. We look forward to coming back regularly.

Great food and exceptional value. The sushi is fresh with generous portions. The Japanese curry is unique and delicious!

I was craving for Japanese owned restaurant and found it finally Trust me. Won't regret. I'll be back .Oh and pictures, I finished sushi before taking it. Next time

Great place for Japanese food! I've been multiple times and Nagomi never disappoints. The service was great. I really enjoyed the katsu curry and the fried noodle dishes!
