Meh experience here after hearing so much hype for the "best ramen in denver". It was a slushy snow…read moreday which was perfect for ramen. As it was an impromptu idea, we did not have reservations but we showed up right at 5pm and were seated immediately at the bar. Open kitchen experience so it was nice to watch the chefs preparing plates. We started with the eggplant bao which we liked. The bao was soft while the eggplant had a crispy exterior. Next up we got the oshizushi salmon in hopes of finding a closer location other than Temaki Den to enjoy the delicious bite. Temaki Den does it best. This is a close second that would satisfy the craving, to give it credit. My husband got the Jira ramen. It started out ok but then the arugula became overpowering. I got the Shio which was actually kinda spicy. It wasn't melting but it had a sharp spice. I wish there was some greenery in the bowl. The pork belly was a bit too fatty and had an abundance of bean sprouts which I don't like that much. I will say, I think I just ordered the wrong ramen. Overall, our experience was ok but we were not blown away. I would eventually come back to try more of the menu.

The buns were good- but the mushroom sushi was out of this world!! I could have eaten a dozen more! For my main, I had the veggie curry ramen with tofu. Oh wow! So delicious! I'd have a hard time ordering anything different, though one of our friends had the Dan Dan noodles and they looked amazing! I also enjoyed the Cry Me a River cocktail. We were a party of 6 and placed in the corner on the other side of the restaurant. It was a little loud because there was a speaker above us, but I think that may be a problem for that particular table. Service was attentive and prompt!

Karma Asian was the setting for another first date. I seem to have a lot of those lately, which…read moremeans I am becoming unintentionally qualified to judge restaurants not only by the food, but by the mood. Can you talk here? Does the decor help? Does the service make things easy? Do you suddenly regret needing the restroom halfway through the conversation? That's where Karma gets complicated. It's right on Broadway, in the middle of everything, and it clearly has a loyal following. The room is dark, funky, and full of objects, screens, carved wood, fish tanks, statues, gongs, and a general kitschy style. There is a version of that I usually like. Older restaurants can have character. A little weirdness can be charming. But dated and cared for is one thing. Dated and not especially clean is another. The service was genuinely friendly, and that deserves credit. Everything came out quickly and hot, which is always a big plus. The food itself was fine. The edamame was predictable and perfectly acceptable. The gyoza were not especially exciting and were rather bland, though apparently not bland enough to stop me from eating more than my share because, well, carbs. The pad Thai with tofu was decent, a little sweet, and a curious color. Not offensive. Not memorable. The bigger issue was the condition of the space. Some of the photos show it better than I can describe it. The vents were giving off some serious ick, and a few areas felt like they had not been updated, cleaned, or loved in a while. I do not need every restaurant to be shiny and new. I usually prefer places with a little history. But cleanliness matters. A lot. And then there are the bathrooms. To get there, you pass through a doorway with beads, which feels like it should lead you towards your destination. Instead, you enter what may or may not be a storage closet, and it is quite dark, there are chairs stacked everywhere, and suddenly you are on a questionable journey. You zig. You zag. Eventually, you find the toilet area, and the sink is shared outside the two bathrooms, which adds another little layer of "what is happening here?" It was not quite portable-toilet-in-a-Denver-public-park bad, but it was close enough that I thought about the comparison, and that is not where you want your mind to go. So yes, Karma has personality. Yes, the staff was kind. Yes, the food arrived hot and fast. And yes, plenty of people clearly love this place. For me, though, cleanliness is a big deal. A restaurant can be dated and still feel taken care of. Sadly, that was not my first impression here. Friendly service helped. The food was okay. But the overall condition of the physical space made it hard for me to imagine coming back. As for the first date? Stay tuned...

We chose to sit in the bar area, and we weren't disappointed. I enjoyed everything. The broth was delicious, and my husband and I loved the selection of dumplings, noodles, and all the different items you can add to your broth. The meat was great too--thinly sliced and ready to cook in no time. I also learned something new! I had no idea there was a little train that brings your sushi roll to the table. I didn't know how to send it back either until someone kindly showed us. And I definitely wasn't expecting the train to talk to us when the roll arrived--such a funny surprise! The sushi selection was very good as well. There are lots of options on the conveyor belt and several rolls to choose from. Honestly, it's hard to prioritize when everything looks so tasty. It really is an experience. Since the only option is AYCE, don't expect to come in for just a few small bites. Will I go back? Absolutely. It's definitely an experience I'd love to repeat.

Wow, wow, WOW!…read more Sometimes you set yourself up because you don't want to be disappointed when the hype is just that, hype. However, I am glad the hype is real and that the dishes we ordered and ate were really good! For a group of 6, we did try as many dishes as we can. Everything we had was delicious, but I would skip two: (1) the charred cabbage and (2) rau muống (morning glory). The cabbage was not worth the $20 we paid, and the morning glory was so salty that I wished we could have a bowl of rice to balance out the saltiness. For these two dishes, which totaled $39, we could have ordered another "big" plate/dish. Overall, we enjoyed dining here. It was hard to hear some of the conversations though. A lot of voices and noises, but it's because the place was filled: no empty tables at all. I was also really surprised how many waitstaff they had here. From runners to servers, from hostess to bar tenders, the service we received was excellent. If you are here in the Denver area for a few days, make sure you reserve a table way in advance, because you will want to have an eating experience at Sap Sua before leaving Denver.

Cherry Creek parking in the evening isn't too bad, since many of the meters no longer run. Service is a little slow but very professional. They even asked me in advance if I wanted them to sing for my birthday. I said no. I enjoyed the most interesting-looking "Chirashi Bowl" with pieces of fish laid atop a flattened scoop of rice. This paired well with hot sake, as well as the chocolate cake they sent over for the occasion. It felt like a neighborhood Japanese spot, which is contrary to many restaurants in Cherry Creek. It's not at the top of my list, but I'd be happy to come here again and try more of their menu.

I grew up in California and I've been to Japan so I know good Sushi. Unfortunately this place isn't it. We started off with Gyoza and Croquettes. They were both OK. I had a cocktail with Empress Gin, Creme de Violette, Blue Matcha and Agave. The drink was creative and tasty. After that I had their spicy, crunchy roll with tuna along with a Tempura Bento with Shrimp. The Bento came with soup or salad. I went with the salad which was supposed to have Ginger dressing. However the dressing was a deep orange color and really tasted weird. I had the wife taste it and she also thought it was weird. The Tempura was decent but nothing special. All of the dishes we had were served on modern plates to give the dishes a modern flair. Our server was very friendly and attentive and the food was decent enough. So why the 2 star review? Well a couple of hours later my stomach felt upset and I ended up on the toilet the rest of the night. As this was my only meal of the day since breakfast, I'm pretty sure that Go Fish gave me food poisoning. Had this not happened I would have given this place 3 or maybe even 4 stars. I'm not sure what did it as the wife had some of the same roll I did and didn't get sick. I'm thinking it was that weird tasting salad dressing.

I also added on a tomago nigiri which I was extremely excited for, however. when I went to eat it, it was ice cold and crunchy from being frozen. Overall my rolls were delicious and I wanted to love this place but the inedible tomago was definitely a let down. I will likely come back to try more items as I hope this was a one time issue!
