Not a bad place! I went here for dinner with a friend! Service was great, we had Erik as our server. He did phenomenal! Kaarage was good and so were the handrolls! The reason for the 4/5 and not it being a 5/5 was I felt my ramen wasn’t as big portioned as I expected it to be. Comparing with my friends ramen mine didn’t look as full as his was in the pictures.
Oh my god. The reviews are right. Some of the best sushi in Denver. I also really liked the Japanese curry ramen, but sushi is the star of this restaurant. Oh and the edamame. And the broths. And the chicken karaage. I guess also the shishito peppers. I have no critiques. Go here for great Japanese food and beverages in downtown Denver.
Has to be one of the best Japanese restaurants in Denver. Staff and chefs are friendly and fish quality and selection is second to none. Thank you
Kind of pricey but worth the experience. Very good sushi and service- overall great time. We sat upstairs and felt more private than the first floor. Not that loud- we were able to enjoy our company. We had mochi, sushi, and pork potstickers!
Went here for dinner, and it was already busy at 550 PM. I got the tonkotsu ramen and the unakyu (eel) sushi.The ramen was decent/good. My only complaint about it was that the waitress asked me if I wanted chili oil on the side for it, which I didn't give much thought to so I said yes, but turns out it costs an extra dollar more; I felt like the waitress should have clarified that.The sushi was mediocre--perhaps even below average. The sushi rice was mushy and the roll itself was hastily made, probably because it was busy. It also barely had any pieces of eel (couldn't taste it at all).All in all, I felt like this restaurant's service was good, but the food was only okay; nothing too special.
The decor is super cute. Greeted by the hostess and sat us down pretty quick for being a Saturday evening. I ordered the Katsu chicken curry rice dish. Just wow! The chicken was breaded perfectly with a nice crunch. The portions are huge! I first thought when my dish came out it was way too much gravy but then the rice soaked it all up and it was fine. If I am ever back in Denver I would definitely go back!
man! on point ! so is staff
Small , quaint, excellent, and freshest fish. Dining is an adventure so stay and enjoy several small courses. The ramen is amazing as well. Prices are fair considering other places that are way too expensive and less value and taste. Always a great vibe and good service!
Tried out this spot for the ramen, didn't get sushi yet they also have that here too. I can say the ramen was easily one of the better ones in Denver. We tried both the Miso and Tonkotsu ramen, both have amazing broths. Extremely flavorful and packed with nodes of sesame and hints of spice. The chicken Karaage was also really tasty. My only criticism is the Tonkotsu listed wood ear as an ingredient, but there was none. Perhaps because that ingredient is unknown for the average person? Also the pork lacked the chasu flavor I've come to expect, lacked that char. But the pork was still very tasty and melt in your mouth, regardless. Would definitely come back, maybe to try the sushi next time :)
Really really good sushi, all rolls we tried were ??. Some are weird combinations but they work absolutely perfectly. Well made, pretty quick service especially at the sushi bar. Box of sake recommended.
