    We have been numerous times and it has always been good. Less so this time. The tempura was nothing like it used to be. There were no Japanese desserts. Our waiter was lovely. But food service was super slow. Only one person for a full restaurant. Sushi was good and fresh. Music was loud and sane track okayed twice while we were there. Overall a disappointing experience compared to past visits.

    Excellent experience! The Omakase was superb! The wait staff and the chef were all extremely nice and helpful if we had questions. There was only one Sushi chef when we went (the main chef was out that evening), but they did an amazing job considering they were by themselves. The food was excellent - tempura was spot on, the sushi was stellar, and the miso was the best I've ever had. The dessert that came with the Omakase was delicious and perfect for two people to share. Highly recommend sitting at the sushi bar! We have a new favorite spot and will most definitely be back again soon.

    Super fresh sushi - both creative rolls and excellent nigiri. One of the only places in Santa Fe to get top quality fresh sushi. Excellent service, nice wine and cocktail list in an elegant surrounding. The hotate is to die for. After living in California and NYC we are quite particular about sushi and Su gets our top marks.

    I can hardly believe that in New Mexico sushi can rival that of any coastal city in America. But Su Sushi does just that. The flaming salmon and soft shell crab sushi were particularly delicious. We also enjoyed a fried banana dessert that was unusual and tasty. The service was outstanding too. You can’t go wrong dining here.

    Wonderful food and service. The only negative was how cold it was in the restaurant.

    The sushi here is hands down the best in Santa Fe. Chef Alex takes it to the next level and provides a level of quality that is impossible to find anywhere else. The service was great and we will definitely be back!
