    Good sashimi and sushi lunch. Miso soup and salad. Good as always. Good service, very quick. Ambiance is very comfortable.

    Quick delivery via DoorDash. I appreciated their appropriate pricing, variety of options and hearty portions. I would not order the crab Rangoon's again as they were more of a triangle type- not as good as the typical ones I get elsewhere.

    Ambiance,

    Fontana is a hidden Gem in a shopping strip somewhat across from Trader Joes in Littleton (drive along the South facing strip). Fontana is "Quaint" with a beautiful Sea water Tank, open sushi bar to view and two rows of seats; great place to bring a friend and have some conversation time, or by yourself. Fontana is tastfully pleasant! And the Sushi is well made along with pleasurable presentation. My Aspen LOVES Shrimp Tempura!!! and we have visited Fontana over the years, with "Welcoming delight." Unfortunately, businesses have turn over and this last time, the welcome was not there with only one table of two ladies finishing up. There was a bit of skuttlebutt conversation as we entered, NOT the normal greeting I have received in the years past! Unfortunately; yet this could be cultural and new people.... Aspen and I wish to have our Shrimp Tempura, which, I MUST say each shrimp is 4 inches long (!!) cooked to a lovely tender consistancy, and the tempura is light - crunchy - absolutely delicious. Thankfully my Aspen has manners, or she might gobble all of these lovely simply presented Tempuras! I do recommend Fontana for a nice lunch time with a friend or two, this is a rather small place yet enough space to feel comfortable. Also, I have enjoyed some of their delicious varying Sushi rolls, which are plentiful. One last suggestion/comment. Once I did arrive at 2:30PM for "lunch" most likely the Shrimp Tempura, and asked for my check/bill at 3:04PM, I was charged "Dinner Prices!" Ergo my suggestion, if you are a bit later in the afternoon, request your check immediately to avoid that "Dinner Charge" I do recommend Fontana for the quiet, food and convenience in the area, possibly after shopping/stocking up at the local well known stores!

    Birthday dessert

    My best friends took me to Fontana Sushi (Southwest) for my birthday dinner. The staff was quick to set up tables for five of us and greeted us in a very friendly manner. The menu was quite extensive and offered many varieties of appetizers and rolls. I don't recall every roll that we ordered but we enjoyed every type. The sides of cheese wontons and edamame were fresh and delicious. I feel the wontons were made in house and flavorful. The business is not large but we had no issue getting right in at 5pm, as we were leaving there was a few folks waiting to be seated. My Godkids enjoyed viewing the salt water fish tank near the entrance. At the end of the meal we all had a nice birthday dessert of ice cream and fried bananas. Everyone had positive comments about the bananas, tasty. I hope we can meet at this location again.

    While out shopping in the area, we popped in to give this place a try. It wasn't the most welcoming situation. The host/waitress was on the phone (speaker phone) for an extended amount of time walking around the restaurant. We sat for a while before being helped. They were doing construction on one of the two restrooms and it was quite loud. The sushi is alright. Nothing to rave about here.

    Wooo!! Found a cheap sushi spot close to home. Keep in mind there are always different levels. This place is great for maki rolls, decent but big slices of sashimi, nigiri is decent, and some solid appetizer items. We ordered a hamachi collar which was actually the best we have found in Denver so far. Next up we got the ceviche which was really tasty and balanced. From there we got a salmon skin roll and mexican roll. For sashimi we got yellowtail, striped bass sashimi, and imitation crab. Nigiri was with yellowtail, uni, and salmon For this level of sushi, it is no Uchi or Ronin level but for the price it was worth it for what we got!

    This is what u see when u open the door.

    Best tempura around town. Chicken was tender and breading was crispy without being too mushy or greasy like a lot of other Asian places.

    The other reviews that drove me here were right! What a great sushi spot!…read more The spicy edamame was different here vs other places, and I LOVE that when restaurants offer something else other than just plain salt -- people, we can do that at home! Use your creativity to come up with other ways to simply dress the edamame! See my pic on that to learn more. The assorted nigiri pieces came out prettier than most other sushi spots, they definitely brushed it to make it look pretty, and that's setting the bar higher where it should be! My roll was the Makizushico Special Roll and I was very pleased with it, however, it looks nothing like their picture online. I'd get it again next time.

I recommend planning ahead with a reservation, as they can get busy during a dinner rush. We were visiting Colorado for a quick weekend trip and were floored by the food here. While the rolls all sounded great, we opted for an omakase experience. It is priced at market value, so I imagine this could vary over time, but they had three tiers for omakase, which I thought were all fairly priced for the amount of food included. We opted for the highest tier, which was $120 pp, and it was incredibly filling with high quality cuts of fish and a thoughtfully curated menu. The sushi chef who took care of us was incredibly kind, and it was clear he put a lot of care into the food he prepared. If you're on the fence, hop off and make that reservation and come hungry for the omakase experience!

I ordered the heart attack roll, it came out 20 minutes after everything else to the point we thought it had been forgotten. It is important to note this is advertised as an "appetizer roll". We had already finished everything by the time it came out. It was very bland. Our server forgot 2 separate items we asked for, even after we asked again. We were the only ones in there - how could you forget? I also ordered the vegetarian fried rice, but it had chicken in it. The rice was clearly old. The soy sauce on the table was empty. They were nice, though. Everything was clean. Miso soup was good. Sweet and sour soup was good. But everything else was inedible and abysmal. Surprised by the really good reviews, but overall just terrible. Will not be back. Will not recommend.

The only reason why I know about this restaurant is because a gift card I got, which listed Sushi Basho as one of the restaurants I can use my card. When entering the door, diners are greeted by a big aquarium. It's actually a great way to stare at the tank and its creatures while waiting to be seated. A table of 8 was arranged and set for us, and in a couple of minutes, we were escorted to our table. Colorado can be brutal in the winter, and this evening, sitting right near the door, I felt chills each and every time the front door was open. However, the heat from the above heater did keep me warm every now and then. As we looked at the menu, I realized there are a lot of options for us to choose. If one doesn't like sushi, they can order some other types of food including their dinner boxes, which a friend and I decided to do. My dinner box came with a small side salad, a choice of miso or hot and sour soup, and the main meal box. Other friends ordered various types of sushi, boiled fish, and a bowl of pork katsu. All enjoyed their food and said they would go back again to eat here. My box meal contained rice, 4 pieces of coconut shrimp, gyoza, a variety of tempura including shrimp and taro, and the main star of the box: salmon with vegetables. Everything was delicious and I did eating everything, but the taro tempura was so good! Perfectly cooked to where, when bitten, it was crunchy on the outside and had great texture inside. It's hard to describe it, and my suggestion is to ask them to prepare one or two taro tempura so that you can have the same eating experience. I was very happy to be able to enjoy a great meal here. I would come back another day and try one of their lunch specials. My grade is a B+.
