The restaurant is tucked next to the cat café. It's a small location, but it has a good amount of seating. Upon arriving, our server was very attentive and seated us right away. Since we were the first customers of the evening, the service was especially attentive. To start, we ordered the spicy crispy tuna rice, which was delicious. I got the sashimi entrée, which came with 18 pieces of very fresh, thick-cut fish. I will say the miso soup that came with the entrée was a little bland, but nothing a little soy sauce couldn't fix. My friend ordered the mango roll and the Spider-Man roll, both were delicious. Overall, the experience was great, and I'm glad I found a new sushi spot in the area.

Honestly every bite across the nigiri and small plates earns its place. The fish is clean and fresh in that way where it just melts. And the drinks hold their own, not an afterthought. The room was quiet when we went, but the warmth was immediate. It was just one chef and our server who knew the menu like a friend's kitchen, so the whole thing felt somewhere between neighborhood gem and special occasion. Kin Nori may be my new favorite sushi spot in Denver, edging out some heavy competition. If you've been sleeping on Tennyson Street for sushi, wake up.

I've been to Kin Nori Bar twice and had a pretty decent experience both times. That said, it's…read moredefinitely not a sushi restaurant that I would recommend to many primarily because of the price point and value, especially when compared to places like Temaki Den. The quality of the fish is good for sure, but the price is far too expensive, especially when compared to Temaki Den, which both has more options and better quality for lower price. While I understand other good reviews Kin Nori Bar receive, it's just not a place I would return to or recommend simply because it's too expensive for what you get. Taking price out of the consideration, I would give Kin Nori 4/5. However, considering the price, the competition, and the limited options, unfortunately, I can only give a 3/5.

We also really enjoyed the chili wontons, pork belly skewers, and Kobe beef buns - all were super high quality and packed with flavor.

When I walked in, it felt more like a club than a traditional restaurant. The music was loud, the energy was high, and the crowd was definitely on the younger side. Honestly, I've never really experienced anything quite like it--part restaurant, part nightlife vibe--but it was kind of cool in its own way. I grabbed a seat at the bar and ordered sushi along with a seaweed salad and an Old Fashioned. The food was actually really good--fresh, flavorful, and hit the spot after the show. That said, if you're looking for a quiet, relaxing dinner, this probably isn't your place. But if you're open to a lively atmosphere and something a little different, it's a fun experience. I enjoyed my food, soaked in the vibe, and left glad I gave it a try.

The service and atmosphere felt comparable to a visit I had at one of their NYC locations. I was specifically there for the A5 Wagyu Kalbi Short Rib slices. At $59, this is likely best shared and supplemented with other cuts. Since it was a special occasion, I ordered one plate, then decided on a second since I was still hungry. There was a noticeable delay, and when it arrived, I was told it is usually limited to one per party, but they made an exception that night. I appreciated that, though I probably would have been fine stopping after the first plate. I paired it with rice and salt-seasoned edamame. I was slightly disappointed that my birthday was not acknowledged despite noting it in my online reservation, especially since another table received a birthday song. Overall, still a good meal and a fun splurge.

The other spots within the park are rotating! So, you could go everyday and enjoy different cuisine from many of the amazing food trucks in Denver!! Follow their Instagram (run.Westy.run) for the schedule of trucks. Good to know - parking is FREE in the RTD station! You can also bring your pup (we all know how much Coloradans love their doggies). You can also bring your own chair to ensure you have a seat. They do have picnic tables, and Adirondack chairs along with shade. There are portapotties with wash stations on site also. They have a small grassy area where they are going to start having various events. Definitely check it out and give them a follow on IG.
