Went with Omakase and it was amazing. Jessica was the best and everything she gave us was absolutely delicious. Definitely coming back!

Jessica and Miho spent so much time with us answering our questions and recommending the best dishes. they were busy but the service didn’t show it! everything was delicious, especially the sashimi and cod dishes! We cannot wait to eat here again.

The service is consistently terrible. Food is good but not enough to make up for the service.

Lots of dishes that can't be found in other Japanese restaurants. We tried several and they were all great. It took a while for the food to come out though. But it was worth the wait.

Decent, though not amazing sushi off Pearl.
Brought the family in for mom's birthday and ordered $300 of sushi.
Food was good, but the rice was rather dry, requiring either a mouthful of water or loads of soy sauce to get it down. Some fish had a mild fishy flavor, which bordered on unpleasant.
Staff was OK, though we had to ask several folks more than once for things like plates, chop sticks, and water. We were the only table to begin, and there were only 2 other small tables seated when we left.
We do sushi a lot (check my other reviews), and probably won't be returning; there are better options around.

I'm so dissapointed in our experience tonight. We have been to several omikases and izakaya and this was easily the worst.
The staff behind the bar barely uttered a word to us and made us feel like we shouldn't be there.
We had to keep asking the servers what we were eating because they wouldn't explain the dishes or the names.
The cooked dishes were overall good, but overpriced. The sushi was flavorless. We've had better at conveyor belt restaurants.
We were celebrating our 11 year anniversary and picked this place out specially because it came highly recommended. We are sad we wasted our anniversary on this.

I wish I could give this place a 7/5 stars. It was seriously the best food my partner and I have ever eaten. The restaurant is so authentic! The staff was extremely friendly and helped to breakdown the menu. They helped us choose options that fit our budget as well. Our waitress gave recommendations for fun stuff to do around Boulder, as we are tourists! You have to try this place it is amazing.

Dietary restrictions: I am allergic to all seafood and the staff was very courteous and careful with my allergies.

This is the best sushi place in boulder, and my favorite in Denver. Their nigiri and sushimi are great, and they have a lot of options not typically found at other places, such as the fatty cut of yellowtail. Great miso soup too.

My now spouse and I wound up going to this location on our first date. It is now our regular anniversary meal, and it's always amazing food served by somebody with excellent customer service. Make sure to get their eggplant dish, I don't know what it's called, but it's awesome.

Dietary restrictions: They accommodate dietary restrictions with a smile

Great food, had the Shabu Shabu and the Unagi. Quite authentic and quite tasty. Prices are somewhat high, but the quality is apparent!
