Tamashi Japanese Restaurant

Tamashi has been recommended to me several times, so I figured it was time that I finally try it!For my appetizer, I ordered the Avocado Bomb which comes with avocado, crab meat, and spicy tuna, all deep fried, and then drizzled with their house made spicy mayo. This was my favorite thing out of my entire meal! I'll be ordering this every time I go! Then I ordered their Spicy Ramen. I'm not a ramen connoisseur or anything, but now that it's colder, something hot sounded nice! The Spicy Ramen comes with mushroom, green onion, bean sprout, boiled egg, fish cake, chashu pork, and ramen noodles. I loved the broth and it had such a nice kick to it.Lastly, I tried their Sex and the City sushi roll! They had so many sushi options to choose from, but their menu said this roll was their most popular, and I can definitely understand why! The Sex and the City roll comes with shrimp tempura, jalapeño, avocado, topped with tuna, eel sauce, spicy mayo, spicy ginger sauce, and their super-secret Sexy Crunch.Overall, I had a really good experience. I'm actually quite sad that it took me this long to try it! The food was phenomenal and the customer service was good. They weren't busy at all, which was a little surprising since it was a Saturday at lunch time.

The food was great! The service was good but it took so long for the food to come out. The jalapeño bomb appetizer was so tasty! A slight spiciness with a hint of sweetness from the sauce they put on it made for an excellent combination of flavors. The yellow fin was so tasty. The pork dish was what took soooo long. Almost 45 minutes. It was definitely not worth the wait. But the staff was friendly enough to make amends which bumped up the score back to a 4 (originally was going to rate a 3).

Coming from California, my gf and I love eating sushi and fish. Tamashi is our new go-to spot, the inside has a great atmosphere with movies and sports and great music always on. I can't speak on the drinks as all we get is water, but the food is great! Our favorite is the mixed tempura and the Yellowtail Jalapeño chef special! We will continue coming back for these delicious dishes and great portions! We typically order 5 different dishes and spend around $80-$85 without tip, $95-$100 with tip. The service is great and we usually never have to ask for any refills or plates to be taken for space. The seating is pretty much greeting and self seating which is also nice, and the servers are constantly roaming around to make sure water and any other needs are taken care of. Highly recommend this spot for your sushi!

Overall, sushi is still decent, however, some menu items has changed for the worse; the ikageso and karage, I'm not going into details here but the batter and the squid piece has changed, just look at the pictures from a couple years ago. To the management; please bring back the original recipe.

Favorite place to get sushi in town. Best quality and flavor. If its a weekend night I would say be prepared for a wait because it gets quite packed. I usually do lunch when its a little bit slower. I always get the chefs choice sashimi that comes with miso soup, either a spicy tuna roll or California. Also comes with either 8-10 pieces of nigiri, large portions of fish at that. I would say I go here once every other week and will continue to do so. Love this place!

Stopped by this spot when visiting Albuquerque for the weekend, and I'm glad we did. It was busy when we arrived around 6pm but we sat at the bar. All the servers were nice and attentive and asked us if we needed anything. The hamachi we ordered was $16, but I think it was worth it since the salmon collar itself was full of flavor. The sushi rolls were great quality and was filling. The restaurant was a bit smaller than expected but made up for it with the service. There were TVs playing in the background that kept us entertained and the sushi chefs were very professional at their work. Very chill vibe throughout the area.I would come back again if I'm ever in town.

Wow!. So the place is a little hard to find but hope it is worth the effort. OMG, if the service is any way to tell if the food will be good. It is going to be an awesome meal!! Staff is friendly and I was sat immediately. The girl that is working the tables is top notch. She stays on top of everything. The serving size of the edamame is on the large side. They have a real New Mexico flavor. Lots of dishes have green chili.There are weekly specials look for them behind the drink specials. The fish is fresh, good, been some places here in Abq where not as fresh!Try the eel and cucumber! Amazing!! I will be back. Yummy!! Great find!! I tipped the girl extra, she was an AMAZING waitress. She went above and beyond!!

This restaurant is a great spot for some tasty Japanese cuisine! We got there and were warmly greeted and got the pick of the tables in the house. The atmosphere is warming and inviting with a bank of tbs showcasing the sushi and another by the sushi bar showing anime.The waitstaff was right on top of our order, and service was fast and friendly. Couldn't ask for better!I had been craving Japanese curry and was not disappointed! I was greeted with a HUGE plate of pork cutlet, rices and tasty curry, with a side salad. It was awesome!Hubby had the salmon bento box with had perfectly cooked salmon, a California roll with a nice tempura selection. Needless to say, yummy!I'm glad got there a little early, around 5:00, because it's a popular spot. But, we would wait for a tasty meal, a comfy table, and flawless service. If your looking for a taste of Japan, you can't go wrong here!

I was seated immediately and the staff were very friendly. I ordered a cucumber salad and two sushi rolls, the Kenny Special and the scallop Island. The cucumber salad was served first and it tasted excellent They served each sushi roll one at a time and were never late. Each dish was presented beautifully on different platters. The servers checked on me often and refilled my drink without asking. Excellent service overall and fantastic food. The restaurant had a modern feel and was not loud. There were screens with different food choices so you could see what their options are before ordering.

The pictures look amazing, and you'd think the food would be delightful; however....I was completely underwhelmed. The Korean short ribs taste-wise was good, but the cut of meat was tough on the majority, then super fatty. The curry sauce on the cutlet was decent, but again, terrible cut of meat (hidden by the thicker than necessary breading). The servers were nice. My order of sushi....I don't think I've ever been so let down by sushi before in my life. The eel was a joke. It didn't even taste like eel normally does. The shrimp tempura was the saving grace of lunch.
