Masa Sushi

Son enjoyed the California rolls. Tuna and yellow tail sushi was good as was the udon noodles. Complimentary dessert was much appreciated.

A loyal customer for years is treated despicably when asked about being charged a different price for same exact fixed priced sushi! Asked to leave! «You enjoy? Then go somewhere else if you don’t like what we charge you!» These owners are outrageously rude except when you shut up & they’re taking your money for years! Boycott this restaurant! They only want you to shut your mouth & pay whatever they want to charge. AVOID! Never again.
We Santa Fe’ans should never tolerate such unprofessional, rude conduct — ever. Take a stand — for all of us. So nice until you politely ask a general question, and then WATCH OUT! Sam turned on me after years and for no legitimate reason. Shame on you!
Boycott this establishment & perhaps they’ll finally learn that this type of conduct is unacceptable. Who do they think they are? WHERE do they think they are? I have never in my life been treated with such disrespect — anywhere. The fact that I’m a woman must have had something to do with Sam’s outrageously disrespectful response, because if I were a man, or was with my boyfriend, I sincerely doubt that he would have responded the way that he did toward me without dire consequences.
While at the register still in shock & obligated to pay my tab, I informed the waitress that they will never see me again. She LAUGHED at me!
About 4 years prior to this, I was a steady, happy customer — until the sister/​co– owner was incredibly rude to me bec I politely mentioned that their green tea ice team tasted old & had clumps of green gook throughout it. She replied, «you complain about everything», & stomped away, when I had never once complained about ANYTHING. She also refused to take it off of my bill. $ 3? The only words ever uttered by this nasty woman are insults, but she’ll gladly take your money while staring at you with her hateful eyes.
I took a 4 year break from this place, & decided to try it again, then the above happens with Sam. My mistake for ever giving them another chance. Despicably unprofessional!
To all men & women who are contemplating dining at this establishment, do us all a favor, and don’t. Owners such as these give Santa Fe a VERY bad reputation. Who would ever speak to a polite customer this way? Especially one that has spent thousands of dollars over the course of years, and I always was polite, friendly, & happy?
Do us all a favor, Sam, and go treat nice customers like dirt somewhere else. You appear to be this nice guy, but clearly your utter disdain for your customers finally reared its ugly head. You clearly also have ZERO respect for women in general. You’re just plain NASTY, but on the surface seem so nice! It’s a façade. Good acting…
Support good businesses here, not horrid ones such as this. Or better yet, ask 1 of the owners a question about your bill, or point something out that seems off, if it indeed is, and watch what happens… They’ll go NUTS on you, even if you’re a steady customer for years.
They don’t CARE about you or your experience. Just keep your mouth shut and give them money, bec that’s really all that they DO care about. Both owners, as well as the server just don’t give a darn, but on the surface, they seem to be fooling us all.
Don’t be fooled & take a stand for ALL of us, otherwise, they’ll think that this conduct is quite alright, and continue with their horrid behaviors, just as they have for years. Anywhere else they would’ve been forced to shut down years ago!
The sushi is bland & overpriced, previously frozen, & sometimes slimy. Nothing on their menu has any flavor to it whatsoever. Watch your bill! They’ll raise prices for you alone out of nowhere. Yes, bring their attention to this and watch what happens! They’ll insult you & throw you out.
Never again. As a woman, I am just disgusted by Sam’s bullying, rude conduct. Some day, you’re going to mouth off to the wrong man or woman, and it won’t end well for you. Karma…
I wish that picketing an awful business such as this one will happen. I’ll be the first in line.

Just had WORST experience ever! Tim was the most horrible, unprofessional staff member I’ve ever encountered, ever!
She was yelling so loudly at the other people who work there, almost makes me never want to eat sushi, EVER again.
I will NEVER RETURN, Again!

Fantastic food and attentive service. I had been reluctant to try it because of my tendency to prejudge by signage… I need to stop that. Full of locals which is usually a good sign. Loved everything I had. Will definitely be back.

The best sushi in Santa Fe without a doubt. The fish is fresh and the flavors fantastic. Great service as well as at reasonable prices.

This is my favorite place ever! Honestly the best sushi I have ever had! The baked salmon in my absolute favorite. Been going there for years! Amazing people and food :)

I am a native Santa Fean and have eaten at all the sushi places here in town. Masa Sushi is by far the best! My favorite is the «Ojo Caliente» roll…

Went to Masa Sushi today for lunch with a bunch of folks from work who had been there before. They all seemed to enjoy it, but I found it to be pretty meh. We came in at noon on a Friday and were the only people in the entire place. For the whole duration of lunch. Not generally a good sign.
The miso soup was extremely bland and their non-​sushi menu is very limited. The vegetable tempura we had was passable but again very bland. The sushi itself was at best just okay. I’m half-​Japanese myself and am perhaps a little bit more picky about sushi restaurants than some, but there was nothing at this place that would make me want to come back for more.
What absolutely killed it for me was the bill at the end coming out to be around $ 18 per person for lunch. This was not even close to being an $ 18 meal. I really hope I can find some better Japanese spots elsewhere.

Kai was closed. Went to masa. We were given huge portions of tasteless sushi and charged double without asking for it. We also drank house hot sake which we don’t normally. We were charged $ 78 I was shocked ! Watch your bill!

We read the reviews and they were right — excellent food, large portions, very casual atmosphere… nice sake. Who knew there were such good sushi places in the middle of the desert?

I’m a vegetarian sushi fan and this place has the best in Santa Fe. The sushi chef makes a catepillar roll to die for! Yes, the ambience lacks, but the food is good and the sushi chef always treats me to something I enjoy.

Very average, low quality Sushi, they try hard but it is what it is, Sushi in New Mexico,
Our order was completly wrong. Turns out they have their own version of Sushi roll names so you will get something very new to you.

In the Strip-​mall plaza of the La Montanita Co-​op: Quiet, neighborhood spot — nice for a really low-​key mellow, don’t-want-to-cook night out.
Favorite dishes:
asparagus roll — 4 asparagus tempura rolled maki-​style with a big outer covering of sesame seeds
yellow tail roll — basic, but very respectable
edamame — basic again, but good and not overcooked
I’m not into the minced fish or mayo maki rolls, but that doesn’t seem to be the norm for most customers — most folks seemed to like theirs.
Now, if they added a bit more background music (something odd and quirky. Japanese techno and Thai pop?) it would instantly make this place a favorite.

My first visit to Masa Sushi was a very pleasant surprise. Located in a strip mall, one would not expect to fine such imaginative sushi preparation here.
A rather non-​descript interior greets you upon entering, along with a chalkboard of unusual specials.
We sat at the bar and, on the recommendation of departing guests, chose the Crunchy Salmon Roll and the Veggie Caterpillar Roll, both exquistely prepared by the Thai Sushi chef.
Then we ordered the Tesuque Roll, which had a crunchy Asparagus tempura and a very Spricy tuna — a tad too spicy for me.
All in all, an extremely enjoable sushi experience.
I look forward to returning soon.
For 3 giant rolls, beers and tip, bill came to $ 60.

Masa Sushi has fresh sushi, it’s delicious and it’s reasonably priced. My boyfriend and I frequent this restaurant often. Try the monkey balls… they are the bomb!

This is a solid strip mall sushi joint. Not outstanding. Not the best in town. But solid. And not over priced for what you get.
We come here when we want a casual, low-​key sushi night, and it’s our go to for take out.

Based on some of the reviews of this place, I decided to try it. Sushi is very fresh and good value; as good as anywhere in California. Especially liked the special tempura asparagus avocado roll and would order it every time. Also loved the vegetarian sushi lunch special (futomaki, mushroom nigiri, kelp nigiri, and inari).

Quiet little restaurant. In fact, dead silent for most of the meal. Good service and very quick prep. The sushi rolls and tempura appetizer were ready in just a few minutes, and the food was good but not exceptionally flavorful. I do have to say the tempura was perfectly breading and still nice and fresh inside. Good place for an easy, quick lunch, especially if you’re looking for inexpensive, nice quality sushi.

It’s the bad location that gives this place a bad rap, I think. But they’ve been around for quite a while and have a generous following of lunch people from the surrounding businesses. I walked in tonight and got my three sushi rolls in 6 minutes to go!
It didn’t seem overly pricey and nobody was there, but it’s Santa Fe, where everyone is home by 6:00pm and everything shuts down anyways…

I have honed my 35 years of eating sushi in Los Angeles.
The service staff at Masa Sushi in Santa fe should not be allowed to have contact with any human. They are rude to the point they dont want their best customer who spends over $ 5,000 per year to enjoy a meal.
Beware!
They will raise prices on the bill before you pay.
The Thai family that runs (ruins) this place are all NUTS!
Stay away! Far Away!
