Inexcusably old fish. Staff, while not as knowledgeable as they should be, were friendly and attentive. Sushi was skillfully prepared. The one and only reason for my one star review is that the fish was not at all fresh. We asked the chef directly “ what fish is most fresh” . He answered incredulously “ it’s ALL fresh”. Nope it wasn’t, not remotely, and we selected the best looking fish from what they showed us. Spending upwards of $60 on old fish is unacceptable. If you serve sushi on a Saturday night, (or any night) it had better be fresh fish. We are certainly not returning.

Origami is one of the fancier, kinda more sophisticated places in Los Alamos. For me, it was love at first sight... I remember the first time I went here. My boss took me out for a lunch, and he wanted to have some sushi. I, personally, never had sushi before, and have never had any Japaneses meals either. It was awesome, such a great first experience! Their staff is amazing: very attentive and caring. The decoration and the serving of meals creates a calming and relaxing atmosphere where you can enjoy your delicious food and forget about your everyday problems. Yes, it's a bit pricey, but if you come during lunch time, get the lunch special which are perfect if you're on a budget. I will be back, guaranteed!

I wanted to bring my significant other here to try something new. It seemed like a nice cozy local restaurant we could enjoy. I ordered us two appetizers, the shrimp shumai and the soft shell crab tempura. Both plates were plated on top a bed of very poorly cut raw julienne carrots for whatever reason, and the shumai had cheap mustard to go with it and there was only 6-8 bites of it. The soft shell crab was the one that hurt the most, I nearly threw up from the first bite, as something tasted very wrong. My partner said he didn't notice but said it tasted really cheap (he is from the East Coast) and ate the rest of it. We also had two sushi rolls, which we both very much enjoyed, those were prepared as you would expect, tasted very good, and were fresh. We were going to order more sushi, but the restaurant ran out of rice... which is 90% of their menu besides the terrible appetizers. Props to the sushi chef, but the back of the house (besides the wonderful sushi chef) needs to fix their kitchen practices. Two stars since the sushi was that much better than the apps. We then got dessert, mochi green tea ice cream, which they cut into 4 bites which was nice, but topped without anything on the menu to let us know with cheap whipped cream and chocolate sauce. We tipped our server Dimitri (not his fault about the food), our bill was 82ish and we paid with a $100 bill and let the server keep the extra 18ish. I did offer to work here, as Origami is nearby and I thought I could help with their kitchen practices, but unfortunately I don't think I want to get involved myself, it isn't my place to do so. Unfortunately, about an hour after we left, both myself and my partner had terrible diarrhea, nausea, and discomfort from food poisoning, most likely from the soft shell crab. We should have gone to the hospital, but opted to take some Pedialyte and home remedies (sushi as eating raw onion) which to my surprise helped by the following day (otherwise the hospital would be necessary in case it was something more serious). This is likely the second or third worst restaurant experience I have ever had, very surprising to me for being in the heart of Los Alamos. In conclusion, the sushi is as you expect, and was made properly, but stay away from anything else on the menu. The appetizers were plated just as poorly as they tasted, and we're just as cheap and likely made in unsafe, unsanitary practices.

Arrived on a recent weekday a little after 12:00 for lunch. All tables were clearly occupied, and we waited in the line of about 3 or 4 customers out front for, maybe, 10-15 minutes. Then the host stepped out and told all of us the restaurant is closed, we need to dissolve the line and leave. This was shocking. I would never imagine a competently functioning restaurant would do this. The man in front of me was really mad. The host was completely unsympathetic and just shut the door on us. We live locally, and a co-worker has since told me she watched them do the same thing one night while she'd been able to be seated. We went to Cafe Sushi on Arkansas Ave, and had a million times better service. We've since been back to Cafe Sushi a couple times, and we love that place. I'll never go back to Origami. ZERO STARS.

Fish was absolutely not fresh. If you are unwilling to procure or serve fresh fish, then do not put sushi on the menu. Furthermore, do not tell a customer that your fish is fresh when you know that it certainly is not.

Expensive Japanese and Korean food, but very worth the cost. The wait is sometimes long during rush hour, but definitely worth the wait. The employees are nice and is very clean. Has good decoration that creates a nice mood!

Unfortunately, this restaurant has really gone downhill. They're still limping along on their pandemic menu. Their unique dishes are only available as specials sometimes with really basic options. They're keeping a ridiculous price point for pretty basic food. If you're serious about sushi, try Sushi Cafe.

This place is very comfy and cozy, and the employees are top-notch. The service is very prompt......too prompt as a matter of fact.....did not have any time to enjoy appetizers when the rolls were out and at our table. Small issue, but better than the opposite. The food was good and fresh and presented very well. The portions were very good.....on the larger side(fyi)....the rolls all tasted great with the exception of one which was off the charts!!!! (Crazy Boy) Desserts were also very delicious ....definitely try the Tempura Ice cream!!! Very enjoyable visit and will definitely be back. The only small personal issue I had was the loud country music .......felt like I was at a Truckstop roadside diner and it detracted from the ambiance. Again, that is a personal preference.

The food is very good, but the service is pretty mediocre, especially for the prices of the food (very high, especially if you're hungry and want a lot of actual sushi). We didn't have a set waiter and they weren't attentive to us. We would have to flag one down every time we wanted to get our drinks, get cups for the soy sauce, get our rice, etc. They were also late in bringing out some of the food. It's pretty expensive, too, especially for a family, but seeing as it's still the best sushi you'll find in Los Alamos, we will likely be back, but only on special occasions.

Very tasty food, consistent quality. Service and takeout is sometimes a challenge but the sushi is worth it! This is one of our favorite places.

I love this place. It was a date night favorite pre-covid, on the rare occasion my partner and I were in Los Alamos. I went there again recently with my in-laws to celebrate a life event, and the service was fantastic. Our server was kind, and very patient with us as we ordered what I felt was far too much food! I was very grateful they made it such a good experience for my in-law, and look forward to going back. And the food was great, of course! High quality sushi, yummy appetizers and desserts, and tea! (They do serve their mochi's with whipped cream and chocolate sauce, so if you don't like those, be sure to ask for it to be left off.)

So I will start off saying the food was delicious. We had miso soup, house salad and a mixture of 3 different rolls. It took a very long time for our server to order our drinks and we already knew what we wanted so we went ahead and ordered everything. We got our sushi rolls before our drinks and soup. The rolls came out fast which was nice but we had to prompt our server for the little bowls for soy sauce and our drinks and soup. Our soy sauce ran out so we asked the server for more and he started messing around with the other server and forgot. We ended up taking one from another table. I never tip just 10% but I did this time. The servers were very young and a lot of people came in all at once so I tried to give them the benefit of the doubt but when they started coking a joking and just sitting at the register zoning out I got kinda frustrated. I do plan on trying it again to see if the service is the same because the food was so good but if it doesn't improve I will not be back. Also the floor was very dirty.

Not crazy about the food... and for 4 adult, (no alcohol) and 2 of us split appetizers, and 2 had water, the bill was over $100! Not counting the tip! We would not go back.

Excellent food, great service. Perfect for friends and family.

If you like water to drink or rice on your rolls this is not the place for you. Waters are never refilled and rolls measure barely less than a quarter coin in diameter, just enough to get a sliver of the ingredients listed on the menu together. Pick up orders will always be prioritized to dining in so if you decide to sit down, everything is a wait. EDIT: this place has really turned around 5/5

Love the food! Always delicious and fresh to order. Must try!

Good enough for Los Alamos. Food was good and yummy when we can get in despite the random hours. Our sushi was well made and delicious. Nothing blowing it out of the park and super crowded.

Showed up at 7:10. Told me they were closed. Google and door say 7:30. Ppl sitting inside eating. Glad I drove across town from my hotel. Won’t be back.
