Magokoro Japanese - Albuquerque

I discovered this Japanese restaurant on Yelp while driving a long distance with my kids near Route 40. I placed an online order at 2:00 PM, but when I arrived around 3:10 PM, there was an issue with our order, and it had been canceled. Fortunately, a very kind young man remade our meal for us during their break, and we are truly grateful for his help. It really made our long trip much more enjoyable. The food was delicious, and the owner was both handsome and kind. I wish this restaurant great success!

My friend and I ordered the Tonkatsu and Chicken Karaage curries. The service was friendly and attentive; however, the indoor seating felt a bit cramped. The food was delicious, but the proportions of curry, rice, and meat could be improved—there could be more rice and curry to complement the amount of meat. Overall, it was a great experience, and I will definitely return to explore more items on the menu!

The prices are reasonable for the portion sizes. The curry has a delicate flavor that is anything but bland. The potato croquettes are wonderfully crunchy on the outside while being soft and fluffy like little potato pillows on the inside. Everyone in our group enjoyed their meal. You can also order via a QR code, which makes it quite convenient. The restaurant is relatively small, and there was a line around 1 PM. Keep in mind that the lunch and dinner menus differ, so if you're craving ramen, be sure to check the dinner menu.

I went during lunchtime. The interior is very minimalist which I really like. They have a QR code on the table for the menu. They do not serve ramen during lunch. I ordered the fried chicken tender curry. Wait time was reasonable and the quality of the food was immaculate! There was so much chicken! Cooked well and flavorful. The curry had just the right amount of spice and a little sweetness to it which I like. The waiter was very attentive and nice.

Great delicious Japanese restaurant! Get there early as a line already started to form outside a few minutes before the place was even open. The staff is very friendly. When were there, they had us scan qr code and for the menu and you order the food on your phone. An interesting system, but it works and the food comes out fast. The ramen was delicious and big enough to share which is what we did. I recommend potato croquettes and the cucumber salad as well. The mackerel was the only dish we didn?t love. Overall we had a great experience at this establishment and definitely look forward to coming back soon! Scores (out of 5): Food: 5 Atmosphere:4 Service:5 Price/Value:4 Score: 18/20 ??4.5
