Magokoro Japanese - Isleta Pueblo

I found this place on yelp because we drove long distance with our kids through this Japanese restaurant near Route 40, I ordered food online at 2:00pm, I had to bubble at 3:10 to drive here, when I arrived At that time, our order still had a little problem and was cancelled. But the kind-hearted little handsome guy made a new one for us when they were resting, and we are very grateful in our hearts. Let me eat love food even on long trips. The food is delicious, the boss is handsome and kind, I wish the restaurant business is booming!

Had the beef short rib donburi and it was delicious! The ribs were perfectly cooked and the sauce was super tasty. Also got potato croquettes as an appetizer which I recommend. They were perfectly fried and had great flavor. To top it off I had some sort of sparkling plum soda which was fantastic. Inside is a little small but the food was worth the wait and all the staff were kind and courteous. Will be back to try more! Vegetarian options: Several vegetarian options including potato croquettes and vegetable curry.

We've been going here for a few years now and the quality and consistency of the food never ceases to amaze us. We even ordered take out from them during COVID for our anniversary! Support a small business and try them out, you definitely won't regret it!

The waiter was flustered when 3 people walked in the door. He seemed like he didn 't know what he was doing. He refused to seat me because I arrived about 5 minutes before my partner. He instead sat the 2 people who came in after me. I didn 't make a fuss about it and just left. There are only 4 tables, and only 2 were open, so I could tell that by him not seating me, a third party who came in just after me and the other party of 2 were the only people who would be able to be sat. His reasoning was that we start to get busy right now, so I can 't seat you until the rest of your party arrives. Well if now (11:20 on a Wednesday) is when you start to get busy, then you should be prepared to take 2 two tops. I 'm part of your pop, I don 't feel like I should have been made to stand and wait when there were 2 open two top tables and 2 parties of 2.I felt this was very silly and a little rude and decided I would prefer to spend my money elsewhere. My husband was disappointed because he really wanted to try your highly rated restaurant. We will try to come again some time and just make a reservation first, but I feel either the waiter 's behavior or this policy is off and should be addressed.

By far the best curry and overall Japanese food I had here in Albuquerque so far. The curries are all amazing during lunch along with the rice bowls. Dinner wise the ramen is probably the best ramen in town but a bit disappointed by the lack of hand made noodles, a bit spoiled there on that part.Definitely come here to try to food! Only wished it was a bit closer to where I lived.
