Best sushi in Boulder! We go to Denver for the sushi (Mizu, sushi den) and this place was right on par with our favorite Denver go-to’s. The atmosphere was decent, the menu had a lot of variety. But most importantly, the fish was fresh and most of it melts in your mouth. We can’t wait to go back!

Out of a group of 4 , 2 of us had got really sick in the evening after eating here. We didn’t have anything else apart from that so it was definitely caused by this place. Ruined the evening of vacation.

Everything was good, just super expensive for what it was

Last time we went, it was great. This time, pretty bad. Service was awful; no one even brought water or acknowledged us for a very long time. We brought out of town family with us and were embarrassed! Soup was awful; it tasted like hot water. When I told the waitress, she seemed aware of the problem, but didn't fix it. Our lychee drinks and salad were bad. My mushroom appetizer and entree were pretty good. I don't know what went wrong. We probably won't return.

Place has seriously gone downhill. New owners have led to a sharp decrease in quality. Also seems understaffed

We hadn't been to Sushi Zanmai in awhile and decided to go back before a show at the Boulder Theater, I was pleasantly surprised with how excellent the sashimi was as well as the service. It wasn't super busy and that helped the ambiance. Glad to have Zanmai back in regular rotation!

Great time every time I go here :)

The food was delicious! It was unusually loud for a Japanese restaurant but that was due to a few patrons.
Authentic sushi for a very good price. Loved the restaurant atmosphere, the staff was helpful and nice, and the food was amazing. All in all: exactly what you want from a sushi restaurant. Our waitress even told us to try and get our order in after she sat a large group so we wouldn’t have to wait longer for our sushi to be made. Nice touch that made the experience even better. We will be coming back

Extraordinary service - freshest sashimi platter and sushi platter - all exceptionally great. We loved the tatimi room - so quiet on a super busy graduation weekend. The six of us were able to converse delightfully! Truly a memorable evening. Thank you!

Sushi Zanmai graciously made room for my party of 10. I've eaten sushi at several restaurants, and this was one of the top dining experiences!

Horrible behavior from hostess at graduation dinner. Approached us to say “we need your table for the next reservation “. Hadn't received a bill, hadn't seen server in a while because she was totally overextended (not her fault). Spent over $500 and hostess was rude in shocking direct approach to table—will not go back.
