An absolute must-try! The speakeasy vibe makes the experience unforgettable. We arrived early for the pre-dinner experience, and it’s worth it. Every piece of sushi was curated with so much love and passion. You can taste the care and craftsmanship in every bite. The cocktails were incredible. We couldn’t stop ordering them! The service is top-notch, casual yet elevated, vibey, and filled with staff who are genuinely passionate about what they do. 100% recommend, just read their emails so you don’t miss a thing!

Great experience. Best sushi I ever had. Price tag is over $1000 for party of 2. Be ready to spend at least $300 per person if you go easy on drinks or wave caviar.

Honestly, the staff, food, and overall experience were some of the best I’ve ever had in Denver. I’ll definitely be coming back. Jeffery and his brother were incredible and created a birthday experience I’ll never forget. Whether it’s for an anniversary, a birthday, or just a night out, I can’t recommend this place enough. Hands down the best sushi I’ve ever had.

We went here for my birthday. No doubt, one for the best sushi and omakase experience I’ve ever had! Probably the best sushi I’ve had in Colorado! The experience felt well coordinated. The staff and chefs were amazing - interaction was fun, light hearted, and educational . Service was amazing with tremendous attention to detail. Atmosphere was clean, modern, and cool with great presentation of dishes. Above all else, the food was outstanding! Had some pieces of fish I’ve never had before. At the end of the meal, chefs give us an option of adding additional nigiri items that we’ve had previously to finish the course which I highly recommend - they add additional ingredients to the final pieces that makes it extra special (mine had truffle). I can’t say enough about this place. Overall the experience and food felt special making this a memorable experience. Highly recommended!
