“Madame Ushi Aspen: a well-executed experience from start to finish

Madame Ushi delivers a contemporary Asian concept that’s thoughtfully put together. The atmosphere is elegant without feeling pretentious, the service is attentive, and the menu is well-curated — dishes are balanced, well-executed, and visually appealing without going over the top.

One of the standout elements is the sushi bar. The quality of the ingredients and the precision in preparation are evident from the first bite. Jesús, who leads that section, brings a particularly refined touch — clean technique, steady pace, and a clear focus that keeps the standard consistently high.

In a setting where style can sometimes overshadow substance, Madame Ushi manages to deliver both. Worth visiting — and revisiting.“

“I came with my girlfriend and had a great experience. We sat at the bar, and both bartenders were attentive, giving great food recommendations (do yourself a favor and try the Blake roll). Additionally, we felt the items were priced fairly and were not overly expensive.“
