“We love Kobe An and have been patrons going back 30 years since they were in Lakewood. Marco has done an amazing job with the new -er location and his staff is well trained. His newer sushi chefs are doing a fantastic job which leaves him free to focus more on the front of the house. We told him tonight that the sushi is the best it’s been in the 30 years we’ve been going to his restaurants. The hamachi and mussels were outstanding, as were the rolls and cocktails. The new Kobe An is the real deal.“

“The food was an array of quality. The beef tartare was insanely delicious. I wish I had more

The nigiri offered felt over priced. I'm not sure if some of the offerings were what brought it up, but some cuts tasted amazing, some just felt like run of the mill. This wouldn't have been an issue if the "market price" wasn't so high. I'd love to have seen a breakdown. The nigiri pricing seemed way higher from other, less bougie feeling, sushi spots around and I didn't feel like each piece reflected that with the flavor.
Also $8 for Asahi beer. Had to have been something about the price of brick and mortar lol. $8 is a tall boy elsewhere

As others have stated. Service is extremely slow. My partner and I waited probably 20 minutes after we got drinks for someone to come by. They tried taking our order as soon as we were seated and then didn't come by again until 20 minutes later.

The atmosphere... It was nice. It was moody and modern and I felt like it was a good date environment and place to dress up. There's two different sides. The front of the restaurant is bright and casual and the back, where I sat, was modern and had some clubby beats and music playing.

Not a place I'd go often but the tartare has me not eliminating it from a revisit“

“This is my favorite kind of sushi. No big fancy building, no frills, just really really solid food. They're rated highly for a reason.

They do a great job with all of the sushi. I love like every special roll.

Honestly we order out as often as we eat there. I probably eat here once a week.

There are fancier sushi places in Denver, but not that do sushi so consistently and well.“

Dietary restrictions: They have tons of veggie and vegan option. Every menu item has a veggie option more or less. I’ll eat here as much as possible because of that.“
