Took my friends out to this place because of an article I found randomly online. Can't eat sushi myself but the friends absolutely loved it. Since they've actually been overseas and have been bitter about food since, it was a breath of fresh air for them. It was kind of hard to find being my first time in the niwot grocery, found it nestled in the southeast corner of the building. It was cozy, informal, and otherwise just a little odd. I Loved the vibe. I got chicken curry myself for $16 as a placeholder for the sushi and to be honest it was kind of basic not really worth the price, but the plating was professional and it looked good. I wouldn't order it again, but I'd gladly take my friends here if they were asking for sushi.

one of my true hide gems in colorado. If you've eaten in Japan you'll know right away how much care was put into the preperation. This by itself makes us visit Niwot several times a year

Super authentic & delicious Japanese food- they've been open here for 20 years and Chef Tsukasa is the sweetest. I always love coming here to get the best sushi in Boulder!

It was such a surprise to discover this place. We ordered the sushi combo with soup and salad. Everything was delicious. The location is also very convenient since it's inside the grocery store.

Most excellent!

A hidden gem in Niwot! A little slow sometimes but worth the wait.

I really wanted to like this place but it fell short of my expectations because:
- Website is out of date and not priced correctly ($28 online / $40 in person?!) - Language barrier if you’re speaking to the man himself; not an issue if you’re working with the assistant
I will try them again but I wasn’t overly impressed for the price

Chef Tsukasa is a master of his craft. Don't miss out on this hidden gem. The chirashi is just too good to pass up. Potato hand pies are phenomenal.
Amazing Sushi place. Highly recommended for all sushi lovers. Chicken buns were so flavorful and soft. Tried Shumai for the first time and it was delicious.

Not worth it anymore. I won’t come back.
Saying this makes me sad because Sachi Sushi has been one of my favorite Japanese restaurants in Boulder County. I recommended this place to everyone I know even if they weren’t asking because I truly hoped that everyone would support them and their delicious food. I still remember the first time meeting Chef Tsukasa. It was just him working at the restaurant at the time. We were the only customers, and we had a great conversation, talking about Chef Tsukasa’s background. He scooped miso soup for all of us. It was one of the best I’ve ever had. Even though it did take a while to get the food, we enjoyed the nice conversation. I loved the calm and laidback atmosphere there.
Sadly, our experience today was devastating. Like what others said in their reviews, the service is nonexistent. The cashier was so aloof that I actually felt like I owed her money. When I asked her a question, I would get one word answer that was not even accurate. The price on the website for the dish was listed as $16.5, and I called ahead for a confirmation of the online price and was told it was $16.5. I was not informed of the raised price or additional surprise charges, and when I asked about it they informed me that the higher price was for more expensive fish, even though I asked them for the quote for that exact dish and exact fish. They did not offer to honor the $17 price that they mistakenly quoted. I also saw the cashier grabbed the cloth in the rice without washing her hands or putting on gloves right after using the cash register.
The ramen was the worst part of this meal. The ramen had such little food for its highly marked-up price. You can see in my picture how little protein or veggie you get for a $17 ramen. It’s literally the thinnest 2 slices of pork I’ve ever seen in a bowl of ramen (the pork in the picture has not been eaten). The pork tasted good, but we were so hungry after eating here we had to cook ourselves a full dinner at home after. The broth was probably the worst part of this dish. The Shoyu ramen was so salty that we left an almost full bowl of broth there.
My goto order, Una Don, still tasted decent, but something tasted spoiled in the food. Unsurprisingly, my stomach was very upset after eating there.
The ending of this story was us leaving this restaurant forever, emotionally and physically upset. I went home, properly treated my stomach and had my formal dinner.
The restaurant used to be a hidden gem, but it has lost its shine.

Nice old man. Sushi was great. Japanese curry was nothing special. If your only looking for Japanese curry like I was, I wouldn't recommend this place.

I ordered the chicken curry but it turned out to be too spicy for me. The menu did not mention anything about a spice level and no other Japanese curry had ever had any so I didn't expect it. After a few bites I just knew it would bother my stomach so I returned it and politely asked if I could get a refund. I didn't demand nor did I expect one. When the owner agreed to it he then quite rudely told me to never come back. Why agree to the refund then?! What kind of customer service is that to be so ugly to a customer?! I had been looking forward to trying the ramen but since the owner is so disrespectful and has no concern for his customers experience I will honor his demand and never return.
Amazing food and atmosphere as a whole!
