I’d definitely stick with the rest of the reviews and just get sushi and drinks. The food wasn’t bad by any means, but it wasn’t great, either.
I got the Chicken Katsu Curry entree and Miso soup. I thought the curry could really use a bit more substance—despite the fact that it was suitably thick, it was rather mellow, like it was watered down. It also did not contain any vegetables, and so it was more of a sauce than anything else. The chicken cutlet itself was of a suitable size, fried gently in panko crumbs, and was tender and juicy—beyond that, it lacked depth of flavor, which was quite disappointing given the price. The salad it was served alongside was comprised of spring greens, which were fresh and flavorful, as well as a bit of cucumber. The dressing was sharp and tangy which I appreciated.
The miso soup was your traditional miso soup, but it was done well. The tofu was silky and pleasant to eat, which was nice.
The food definitely gave off the impression that it was catering towards less the typically less adventurous palates here in the valley, which isn’t a bad thing, just not what I’m looking for.
All in all, I feel this place has a great amount of potential—it just needs to be a bit more intentional with their entrees. It’s understandable why they are not, however, given that they’re primarily a sushi bar.
The staff were all very kind, even making sure to check if I wasn’t enjoying the soup, but they were a bit busy, and so they got behind. The wait times were a little much, especially for the food. It must have been at least 20 minutes, more likely 30. The restaurant was also very clean, and the atmosphere was friendly and casual while still maintaining some level of class.
Overall, I would not mind coming here again, but it definitely wouldn’t be my first choice for Japanese food here in the valley.

What a hidden gem in Glenwood. My husband and I were so psyched to find this spot. We were there on Saturday evening, so impressed by the sushi chef, presentation of the rolls, and freshness of the fish. Cannot wait to visit again.

This place is absolutely incredible—a true hidden gem. The fish quality is superb, and the prices are very reasonable. The waitress Colleen was exceptionally friendly and kind. This is now my favorite sushi spot; we'll visit every time we're in town.

My partner and i decided to jump off the freeway on our way to Denver and give some sushi a try. The server though kind to us, was wildly inattentive to us weary travelers, false promises of water and soon returns left us rethinking our lives and the decisions that lead us to this place. When the food arrived it was presentable and definitely was sushi, this said i may as well have snagged a box from the cold case at the grocery store. Shortly after we finished filling our bellies we came to the realization that patience, though a virtue, can easily be taken advantage of. A quick interruption of the servers engaging conversation with their friend and we received our total. The virtue once held was now left on the floor of this establishment. We paid cash and decided not to even wait for the change since the track record held a dismal tone here. This place likely will not make you sick, it may not break the bank, but please know, this establishment in of itself does not know the heritage of sushi, as there were fortune cookies for a parting treat

Hidden gem in Glenwood Springs. Our new favorite sushi spot.
Great sushi, great service, cool neighborhood vibes with a full bar.

Vanessa is a great server, food is great. There is an old lady with glasses that is very disrespectful, if it wouldn’t be for her this would be 5 stars

Recommended by a local friend, I tried the Japanese curry with chicken katsu, and it's delightful. However, I wish they provided more curry instead of just having chicken topped with curry sauce. Overall, it's awesome; the chef and the lady server are both pleasant. I'll certainly come back!

We (my partner and I), and a number of locals we know, call this "the gas station sushi place" and while that doesn't do much for word of mouth appeal this little spot is really a gem! Off the beaten path from central, walkable Glenwood, it tends to attract more valley residents who've discovered it's existence on their travels through town.Sushi is decent, place is almost never busy, and we are especially big fans of Connie, who is always so friendly and kind and remembered us immediately after our first visit. It's definitely a regular spot for us when we are craving sushi but don't want to drop 100$+ at Kedai.
