Tamashi West

"Had an issue with my freshwater eel where it tasted off, and upon sending it back the chef had the server tell me that it tasted like it always did. So I guess their eel always tastes like soil? Who knows. There server was polite and did fine, very attentive."

"Very pleasant. Excellent service. Quiet place with free parking.Started with amazing miso soup. Wonderful sushi, great variety. Scallop island was delicious and so was the Y.O.L.O Roll. Shrimp of fire was a superb presentation. Every dish was yummy. Must visit. Not v expensive."

"I’m so glad we found this place! After living in Albuquerque for the past year and trying a number of sushi restaurants, we’ve finally found a great one. The ingredient quality at Tamashi is exceptional. The rolls are delicious and come out quickly. Our drinks were quickly refilled without us having to ask and the service attentive. The Sex and the City roll, which Tamashi lists as their most popular, was crunchy and fresh. I loved the crunchy bits on top, which are a Tamashi proprietary recipe. This is officially my favorite sushi place in Albuquerque and I’m glad we tried it. The price tag on some of the specialty rolls put us off from trying it a bit ago, but it’s filling and completely worth it. Go check it out!"

"Ive been eyeballing this place since I moved back and I am pleased to say they did not disappoint!! I started my meal with a grand duchess white hot tea and cucumber salad. The tea wasn't super hot but the flavor was smooth and not at all bitter. The cucumber salad was very different from other places but it was deliciously crunchy and tart! I always order the tonkotsu ramen at every new place I go to. This one was fullbodied, had a light layer of oil on top that coated the noodles perfectly. The noodles were firm and springy, beautifully coated in ramen broth. The chashu was a little smaller than I'm used to but the flavor that was packed in each bite made me forget about the size. The seaweed in the ramen made it feel like a miso soup! Overall, I am wildly impressed that a place like this opened in Albuquerque."

"If you're looking for a fantastic Japanese restaurant in Albuquerque, Tamashi is definitely worth a visit. One of the standout dishes was the Avocado Bomb, which was absolutely delicious. The creamy avocado paired perfectly with the spicy tuna and crab meat, and the dish was beautifully presented. However, I was not as impressed with the Takoyaki. It seemed like it was cooked from frozen, which made the texture a bit off. On the other hand, the sushi rolls were outstanding. We ordered the Philadelphia, Vegas, and Volcano rolls, and they were all fresh and packed with flavor. The combination of ingredients was perfectly balanced, and the presentation was beautiful. Another aspect that stood out was the exceptional service we received from the staff. They were delightful and went out of their way to ensure we had an enjoyable experience."
