Hidden gem in Snowmass -- don't trust the low stars…read more Honestly I'm confused why this place has such low ratings, because the sushi here was really good. I have pretty high standards when it comes to sushi (I eat it often and I'm picky about freshness and quality), and everything we ordered was impressive. The uni was incredibly fresh and creamy with that clean ocean flavor (no weird aftertaste at all), and the o-toro was unreal -- buttery, rich, and melted instantly. The rest of the rolls and nigiri were also on point. Great fish quality, good rice texture, and everything tasted fresh and well-prepared. Service was solid and the overall vibe was exactly what you'd want after a day on the mountain. If you're in Snowmass and craving sushi, don't overthink it -- this place is absolutely worth it.

An unexpected surprise!!! really great service very friendly staff cool very relaxed, ambience and…read morehands-down. The best Besson soup I've ever had in my entire life and I go to sushi restaurants all the time!!! we were actually supposed to go to Aspen and go to a different sushi restaurant... But we were too lazy after our ski skiing all day so we just ended up staying in Snowmass and looked up sushi restaurants and honestly I'm very picky when it comes to sushi and both my husband and I were blown away... Pleasantly surprised!! first of all I can say is that the miso soup was incredible... The miso soup was probably the best miso soup I've had in my entire life. I mean it was phenomenal and also we had a couple rolls which were incredible and we sat at the bar at it was just a really great energy a great vibe... The fish was super fresh and it did not smell like sushi or fish inside the restaurant which was a good sign!! definitely way more higher than I anticipated!! I would come back here in a heartbeat!!! and our server was great and he was very attentive and it was just great great great great great great great

reservation was late which is usually a mistake in this town because you either lose momentum or…read moregain too much of it walked in and the place was already fully operational two levels, sushi bar locked in, upstairs doing something a little more serious, downstairs moving fast. people positioned in a way where they can see and be seen but also pretend that's not what's happening sat down and ordered correctly which matters here yellowtail jalapeño showed up first and immediately reset expectations. not complicated. just exact. same with the black cod. that dish has been on the menu long enough that nobody needs to talk about it anymore. it just arrives and ends a portion of the conversation that's kind of the rhythm of the place food comes out and you adjust room gets louder but never loses control. sake moving. plates turning. people checking each other out without moving their heads you look around and realize nobody is experimenting. everyone is ordering like they've done this before or wish they had we added a few things late which could have gone wrong but didn't. kitchen absorbed it like it was part of the original plan guy behind the bar caught it, rerouted the timing, and kept everything aligned. didn't catch the name but i think it was barron sawyer. handled it like it happens every night walked out and the street felt slower than it should have five stars this is a place where the menu already knows what you're going to do and approves of it

Enjoyed a nicely prepared meal of fried rice, seaweed salad, and fried spring rolls. If this had…read morebeen a regular Japanese restaurant anywhere but Aspen I would have rated 5 stars. Nothing specifically lacking as a restaurant but nothing really outstanding either. So when charged $15 for a small bowl of seaweed, $10 for a 3" long fried vegetable spring roll, and $48 for a small bowl rice with a sprinkle of steak (maybe 1-2 ounce) the enjoyment of the dining experience suffers greatly under the feeling of way overpaying. Based on other locations this meal might have been fairly priced at 50% less But it was Aspen and apparently the extreme pricing doesn't stop folks from attending. But value for quality should always be a strong guiding factor regardless of location.

I mean for the price, you really should have a larger portion. I know it's Aspen, but still. And…read more20% gratuity added for a takeout order when you don't exactly have a dining area is a bit unreasonable.
