I went to this restaurant on a Friday night and it took 10 minutes for my server to even ask for a drink order. Waited over 15 minutes for a coke but whatever. Then we got our order placed and after waiting a while, the wrong order hit our table. We let the server know and then we watched the food runner to take that plate and put it on another table. The same plate that hit our table and was contaminated by myself and my boyfriend without our masks on then went and was knowingly served to two totally different people. They are NOT taking health and safety procedures seriously during this pandemic and it's a shame as well as very dangerous. We then asked to speak to a manager and were told there was no manager there? As a fellow server of a restaurant I am extremely confused how this place is still open and running without a manager present on a Friday night to support the staff and assure safety and efficiency throughout the restaurant. Really really terrible experience and the first time I have canceled an order and walked out due to not feeling safe enough. We were left feeling very disappointed and grossed out. If you are nervous about cleanliness or if your immune system is compromised at all DO NOT COME HERE. read more

I was thoroughly underwhelmed. The BF and I went to Hai for dinner tonight. If you read my review of Wasabi, you will see that we are now sushi experts because we read a book. Okay that is lame but it certainly gave us things to look for in our sushi. The atmosphere on a Friday night was nothin' special in the restaurant (didn't hit the downstairs). Here's the important stuff - I was disappointed in the sushi rolls. I am a BIG kappa maki fan (cucumber roll), in fact it is a test roll to see how good your sushi chef is... this guy, not so great. Thought i would do something special and get their vegetable caterpillar roll (cucumber with avocado on top). The chef making it clearly didn't care how I got it. It held together enough to stand but as soon as I touched it, it fell apart. I couldn't even get it in my mouth. AND it was drenched in sweet brown sauce so I couldn't taste that the cucumbers and rice had no flavor. Totally bland. Sticky, sweet brown sauce + falling apart rolls = very sticky, gross hands. The BF ordered a few things off the regular menu which were okay. Nothin' to write home about. I also ordered some nigiri which never came. We were done eating and I decided it wasn't worth it so had the waitress take it off the bill. (Not paying for tuna I didn't eat!) I watched the chefs and they didn't look like they were having much fun... not to mention that they drowned every plate in the brown (eel?) sauce. It really was a MEH experience. The hot towels were nice at the beginning (could have used them after the sushi, though). The tables were so small that we were constantly in fear of knocking something on the ground and the table was wobbly so eating the miso wasn't easy. I had called earlier for a reservation but the hostess told me it was full and they weren't taking any more but we could come in and get on the list that night. Good thing we did. We showed up 30 min to get on the list and were ushered right to a table. I guess it wasn't as busy as they thought it would be. So super great sushi? Nope, sorry. Sake bombs and party time? Probably would have been more fun. read more

OK. A girl has the right to change her mind. The rolls are bland unless they're soaked in sauce or soy. Lots of rice little of everything else. If I go again I'll order: seaweed salad the tuna poke salad and a cocktail. I will not come back here for their sushi rolls. read more

I like Sushi Hai for what it is--a local sushi spot with decent sushi. I just don't think the food is that amazing. It seems borderline mass-produced. You know what I think it is? The fact that there's not so much fish in the rolls. They really skimp, in my opinion. The appetizers are okay, too. Drinks, well, they're drinks. I had a glass of wine, since I thought they had a scant beer selection. The service is also OK. It's somewhat of a scene (we dined downstairs two times and upstairs two times). It took a long, long, long time for our food to arrive. read more

This place is lacking in both service and food. We were seated quickly but it took awhile for waters & sake. The waiter never gave us our beers that we ordered. Never checked up on us which was his fault because we would have ordered a lot more sake (=bigger tip). We ordered the unagi nigiri, las vegas roll, surf and turf roll, and the firecracker roll. They were all small rolls and lacking in any kind of kick. It was all just bleh. None of the three stood out. The decor and layout of the restaurant is nice and pleasant to the eye. The food came out in a decent time considering how busy the sushi bar was. read more

I went here because they had a good Groupon for sushi and a comedy night. You go down to the basement where they have lots of tables around a stage. The food was really good and pretty cheap for a sushi place. We got Monkey Brain (a fried avocado), a few rolls, soup and beer. It's kind of a hit or miss with the comedians that are there (I have been once before). This time a lot of jokes were about divorce which I haven't experienced...yet.. Don't tell my husband. Ok I'm not married. Also you should make a reservation in advanced and both times I got sat upfront. The show goes till around 10-10:30 and they want you there before the show starts at 8. I would recommend this place and recommend you look for the Groupon for it for a good deal. read more

Sushi Hai - Comedy stage downstairs - Sushi Bars Near Me - Denver, Colorado

I was honestly rather disappointed with our experience at Sushi Hai, I will say that the restaurant space itself is very nice, and I liked the decor. Sadly, I don't go to restaurants to look at the walls, I go there to eat. Service took literally forever, though I don't blame our server. She was the only one on duty that night, despite lots of customers, plus two large parties, including our own - and we made reservations well in advance so management should have known to have more staff on duty. The poor lady also had to work the bar! After an hour and a half, one of the managers began to help out a little, but it was definitely too little, too late. The sushi was rather mixed in quality - some of it was acceptable, some was very good (I truly enjoyed the drop-kick roll), and some of it tasted like it had been prepared in advance and left out. The flying fish roe was terrible - fishy and salty, and myself, my husband, and one other friend who ate them were sick to our stomachs and burping up nasty fishy flavor the next day. The prices were much higher (sometimes as much as five times higher!) than much better sushi at our local broomfield favorite, Taru sushi. Additionally, I notice that their online menu has incorrect (lower) pricing for some items. Nice atmosphere, and perhaps if you want a place to drink with friends and listen to music, and avoid anything that might poison you, it might be okay - if you have a lot of time to wait. I won't be returning. read more

Sick of paying an arm and a leg and dealing with the pretentiousness of some of the patrons at Sushi Sasa, my girlfriend and I were on a mission to find a new sushi joint to frequent. Google Maps to the rescue! To our surprise there was Sushi Hai, about half a mile from our house! So, we thought we'd give it a shot and couldn't be happier we did! The first thing you'll notice is finding a place to park nearby is the luck of the draw - not Sushi Hai's fault, but still worth noting. You walk in and immediately think, "Damn, this place is tiny!" However, you'll soon quickly learn as they walk you toward the back there are some stairs leading to an additional dining area. The tables are a bit small so they can maximize space, but with two people it never seemed uncomfortably cramped with drinks and a couple plates. The booths, however have more than enough room. Suckers for calamari we order some for an appetizer along with some sake. As we enjoy our sake and some of the most delicious calamari I've had in a long time we decide to get a spider roll, dragon roll, yellowtail sashimi, and tako tako. In good ol landlocked colorado good calamari is hard to come by and mostly what you'll find are small chunks that are over breaded then deep fried into oblivion. Not here! I was very happy to are large pieces of meat very lightly breaded and fried just long enough to make the breading perfectly crispy! It was nice to actually be able to taste the flavor of the calamari instead of just the breading. The spider roll had great presentation that matched it's flavor. No imitation crab here! Instead you'll find nice large and delicious pieces of crab meat. The dragon roll was also quite good although it seemed a little rice heavy compared to the spider roll. The yellowtail melted in your mouth as it should and tasted delicious. The tako tako was less spicey thani had hoped but this by no means it didn't taste good - still very full of flavor, just could have been spicier. We left no room for dessert, got the check, and were pleasantly surprised! For sushi that satisfied us just as much - if not more because it's closer to home and has less pretentious patronage, the bill came out to about 2/3 the amount it would have cost for an equivalent meal at Sushi Sasa! read more

I ate here with my girlfriend with the Living Social deal and we went in with an open mind. We hadn't heard anything about it and we both love sushi so we thought we would give it a try. Honestly, the only GREAT thing we experienced about our visit was that the busboy who kept refilling our water was very attentive. That's where the GREAT ends and the MEH/NOT GREAT starts. The MEH: The food. I am a big sushi ROLL fan so that is what I am basing my review on (so I can't say too much about the sushi/sashimi). The rolls were rather lackluster. A few of the rolls were made with rice that was too sweet and my girlfriend and I BOTH experienced rolls that fell apart when we were picking them up. Overall, the food was not BAD but wasn't much to write home about. The price. A bit pricey for the experience that we had. Sure, we got a good deal with the Living Social deal but I will say that I am glad that I didn't try it while paying full price. The NOT GREAT: The service. Our waitress walked around like she had a stick up her ***, literally and figuratively. She walked around with her nose up in the air the whole time and was not friendly or attentive whatsoever. The place wasn't too busy and her section wasn't keeping her too busy so her sheer lack of attentiveness to us was completely uncalled for (and very unimpressive). As I said above, the busboy was great (and my girlfriend and I agreed he was the best part of it all) but other than that, not great whatsoever. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this place to any of my friends. The ambience wasn't bad and the location in Denver was pretty cool but the food and the service in relation to the price was just not worth it. read more

I went to Sushi Hai last night with some girlfriends and although it was okay - we've had much better service, atmosphere and (most importantly) sushi at other places. Our waitress was a bit surly and the service was pretty slow (it took about 1/2 hour to get our tiny appetizer bowl of edamame...) The sushi was okay, but like I said, I've had better. The Firecracker roll and the salmon/avacado roll were good, but the rest fell a little flat in my opinion. Outside of the drinks and food, the atmosphere at Sushi Hai is nice - but quickly becomes ruined by the bumping loud music from the bar. I really felt like I had to lean toward my friends to hear what they were saying. I love Sushi Hai's neighborhood, and the atmosphere would be nice without the bumping music... I might give it another try in the future, but won't be rushing back. read more

Given the neighborhood and curb appeal this place should be WAY better than it was. Thrice I have eaten here and been disappointed. They always seat us downstairs in the basement where I feel forgotten about and they pack tables in so close to each other that I feel like I'm eavesdropping on the people next to me. The sushi is just OKAY and overpriced for the quality. read more

We live in the neighborhood and have been coming here for a few months and was never disappointed until.....this past weekend when we were served frozen (practically frozen) salmon sashimi. I will say we were credited for sashimi but kind of disappointing especially since the salmon sashimi is usually delicious. Server was still very good. read more

Terrible Place. 3rd time I have been there and the 3rd time I have had a miserable experience. I only visited a second and a third because friends always meet here. Our food took 1 hour and 20 minutes. They said they were short a sushi chef. It arrived and it was very bland and fish was not all that fresh. I will NEVER return and spend my money here. read more

Disorganized. Terrible pickup service. By the time I get home, this fish will not be fresh.

Food poisoning :( My order: Gyoza, octopus, tuna, spicy tuna roll (had a different name), california roll Rude waitress/ hostess. (Dyed blonde hair, short stature) After sitting there a while, we noticed the fridge cases the fish was stored in were constantly open while the sushi chefs (non-japanese white guys with beards) reached in for ingredients. At no point during the two hours we were there were the cold cases ever closed to keep the sushi at the correct temp. read more

PRO: Sushi Hai has a great atmosphere -- very trendy with cocktails, low lighting, TVs playing music videos in the background, and attractive young waiters & waitresses. Yet, it's not overly glamorous or unapproachable. The sofas and set up is great for groups and relaxing. CON: If you're looking for great sushi (American style or authentic Japanese style), keep searching. I've been eating sushi since I was a kid. This is definitely the blandest sushi I've ever eaten, and it's so overpriced for the quality and portion size. read more

They were overbooked for Valentine's Day, sent us downstairs to the club level next to the bar. The drink menu included a section titled "bottle service". We watched our waiter set up our fold out table and fold up chairs. 10 minutes after sitting down we were given a pitcher of tap water with a few cubes of melted ice. I poured my own glass after pouring one for my date. We were told that the staff was at capacity that day, and we should be patient. Hard to be empathetic when I planned ahead and made a reservation, giving this establishment enough time and information to plan accordingly. This was a gross management failure in multiple areas - staffing, seating, customer flow management 10 minutes after serving my own water, our order was taken. 30+ min. after that our appetizers arrived. Fish was subpar. It was old, and/or left out too long. Toro was striped and in one of my Nigiri was split down the center. Sushi was inconsistent. read more

Average sushi. Disappointed with the portions. Beer selection was ok. Do not highly recommend. Would look elsewhere. Would not go back. read more

Sushi Hai - Shrimp tempura and California roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Denver, Colorado

See all

Just underwhelming in every way. There is so much better sushi in this town. We won't be back.

I ordered the veggie ramen through door dash so this review is based on just the food. Probably the best and most flavorful veggie ramen I've ever had! The vegetables and tofu were seasoned well and tasted amazing. read more

I like Sushi Hai a lot. We always sit at the bar and discovered that you get a free little saucer of pickled cucumbers and tuna when you do - pretty cool. The decor is good, but the space is excellent. I swear there are five levels, and each offers a different feel but the building is worth checking out for sure! We have always had impeccable service there (in fact, it was the first place we ate at when we moved here a few months ago), the sushi is always fresh despite our geographic location and the area can't be beat. We order the Tako, Tako Tako, spicy tuna rolls, Tidal Wave, Firecracker, and Mango rolls... I'm drooling just typing... read more

I have only had sushi here, so I can't speak for their other menu items. But I love this place! We come here every time we are in the area with a friend, and are never disappointed. Our favorite rolls to order: Dragon Roll, Spider Roll, Rainbow Roll. We always get the spicy tuna, and this last time also got tuna sashimi. The Smelt Roe is also good, we usually avoid Salmon Roe because it is usually kinda gross and oily, so we've never ordered that here. The edamame is good, and although I'm not a big sake fan, I enjoyed the warm pomegranate sake, fruity but not overbearing. Our service during the last visit was very attentive. Liz came by several times, answered any questions, was very friendly, and was constant on refilling our water, which I appreciate. If you sit in the upstairs area in the winter, you will likely be cold as the door is always being opened and letting cold air in. We prefer sitting in the downstairs area, though the music can be a little silly at times. read more

Cool space and good drinks, but I wasn't sold on the sushi. Quite possibly, it was the worst sushi I've had in the city. The rice barely stuck together- basically resulting in a suggestion of a roll. I wasn't impressed at all. We sat in new/downstairs bar. Like I said, it was a cool space- loungy without pretension. Unfortch, our server paid close to no attention to us until we decided to order food as well. It took 20 minutes to get a refill on our drinks- but the minute we were ready to order rolls/ect, she was all over us. That's always a bad sign to me. It would take some major convincing to get me to return to it. read more

I've got two words for Sushi Hai: Aw. Ful. Service is awful and sloooow (30 minute wait for a glass of beer). Sushi is awful and flavorless (and warm). The rolls fall apart, the rice is dry, the fish slices so thin to be nearly transparant. The place is teeming with the worst sorts of obnoxious, flipped collar yuppsters. And it's way, way overpriced. I used to eat here quite a bit, living in the neighborhood. It was always good (never great), with an excellent happy hour. This was the first time back in over a year. I was shocked at how sucky it is now, and yet still bursting with customers. Ugh, won't ever be back. It was a 3-person, $190 dollar lesson learned. read more

I originally was recommended to Sushi Hai through one of my friends that attended a large party here before and it by far exceeded my expectations when we decided to throw a party here myself!!! The owner Tien was incredibly communicative, easy to work with and such an amazing host. We preordered the food for our guests and also paid for a package that included unlimited drinks, which made this party so affordable and easy to accommodate for a large group of 30+ people. The decorations and vibe of the restaurant were perfect and I could not recommend Sushi Hai more!! The night was awesome, food was delicious and the staff was so amazing! 10 STARS!! read more

OK...I have been to more sushi spots than I care to admit. The only reason (and a damn good one, I might add) I found this place was that I recently moved into the neighborhood (West Highland area). I had my trepidations (no, not a new rare form of sea creature) because the place was almost empty on a Thursday night at 7:00. I have to say, though, it WAS the 4th of July weekend coming-up, so we can blame the 'ol "people-go-out-of-town" thing. Aaanyway, we were seated quickly (of course) and were greeted promptly by our server (who immediately had the hots for my son). I was pleased to see they had Momokawa Diamond by the bottle and it was not crazy expensive. So we drank and stared-down the menus. We ordered Kalbi (which was also a pleasant surprise - being a Korean item, really) and Seafood Dynamite appetizers. The Kalbi was just outstanding! From presentation to the way they cut it into manageable little hunks (vs. the wild slabs you encounter at any number of Korean BBQ joints around the world), it was delicious and perfectly cooked. Alas, the "Seafood Dynamite" was marginal. I had never seen Dynamite served this way...on rice...huh? It was a small portion of salmon and various indistinguishable seafood bits mixed with thin slices of scallion (?) and whatever else...on white rice to make it look like a larger portion. For something like $9, it was a real bummer. Tasted OK, but what the heck ever happened to slices of giant clam and maybe some shrimp or other clam varietals as the primary ingredient? It's been a long time...ahhhh, food costs rein supreme! Now...the sushi. Incredibly GOOD! I mean really excellent, balanced, beautiful, and fresh (like my ex?). We ordered what I consider a pretty basic assortment (Tuna, Whitefish, Salmon, Octopus, and some awesome Yellowtail Handrolls) that, in a very entertaining way, shocked the table of women sitting next to us. And embarrassed the new table on the other side of us full of young guys "hipsters", dare I say, whose table was like a white-out of Cali Rolls, Tempura Rolls (ugh), and other such stuff that comes precariously close to trashing what Japanese/Sushi experience ought to be (IMHO). Not to sound food snobbish...but sheesh. We even tried a little Creme Brulee' dessert "shot"...well...just suffice it to say, "stick with the sushi". Not terrible, just, well...annoying. After dinner ($98 including a bottle of Sake - not bad!), we headed downstairs to their bar....it was most excellent! I'll blab about that in another post sometime. Good Luck and Have Fun.... SG read more

How long do we have to wait for our meal? I mean, it's raw, you don't need to do much.... Oh Sushi Hai...I had such 'hai' hopes for you. Perhaps that is where the night started out wrong, my expectations were too great and I didn't do my homework. But, at the urging of friends, we decided to go to this sushi restaurant since we had yet to experience it. I was really hoping for better. First and foremost, if you're going to spend money on sushi, you might as well get the best, and that would not be here. The rolls are nothing to write home about and are a bit bland. Basically, I have concluded in my search for the best sushi in Denver, if you're looking for creativity, you go to Hapa; if you're looking for exceptional quality and great japanese tastes, you go to Sushi Den; if you're looking to try some flair, fusion and downright ridiculous tasting fish, you go to Izakaya Den; and if you want true Japanese cuisine, you go to Japon. Notice one thing: Sushi Hai is not on this list. The service was the killer of the evening. We waited ten minutes to be greeted, our apps came before our cocktails, the waitress forgot to bring us water twice, our glasses remained empty most of the evening and, the dagger in the heart, we watched as three other tables, all sat after us with bigger parties, got their sushi before we did. 25 flipping minutes after ordering, we finally got our sushi. And I know that the chefs need prep time, but come on, it's raw, you just roll it and put it on a plate. It should not take that long. Regardless of time or taste, I will not be going back to Sushi Hai. Although the martinis were good, that is not the reason I go out for sushi. read more

The private rooms here are so kawaii! I suggest you reserve one of these for your next birthday party, graduation, whatevz. The room's setup makes the meal more comfy and less pretentious overall. As for the food, I enjoyed it. It's not the best sushi I've ever had, but it does the job. For appetizers, I enjoy the gyoza and chile shrimp the most. For sushi, my faves are the firecracker roll, heart attack, crunchy roll, surf-n-turf roll, tamago nigiri, and monkey brain. I seriously wish they would add shrimp shumai to the menu. The downsides of this place is that service is really slow and sometimes they forget to bring everything that you ordered. Also, finding street parking in the Highlands is kaka. read more

I really agree with the other reviews about the food- the sushi is good. Not great, but good. Some of the rolls are quite creative. But everything is definitely pricey! This is most certainly a classy date joint. Just don't come expecting to plan your next bank robbery or discuss your plans to assassinate the president, because the tables are really squeezed together tight. No privacy, I tells ya! In sum, a nice in between when you want more ambiance than strip mall sushi and don't have the $$ to drop at Sushi Den. read more

I usually stop in here for happy hour and most of their items are pleasantly presented and on point. The fish is always fresh and they find a way to make the appetizers a little more unique than most sushi restaurants. My favorite is the crispy rice cake with spicy tuna. They also have good deals for dinner with all their groupon and living social deals. They used to have a duck dish that was great, but it's disappeared from their menu. On my most recent visit, I tried their salmon with quinoa and their pork ramen. The salmon was seared perfectly and they made quinoa taste as good as it can get. The ramen was not the best, though, as it was a little greasy and the pork wasn't very tender. read more

I order from here all the time via UberEats and it's always amazing. The price is also reasonable and the sushi is always fresh.

Lovely. Never ending. Creative. I dig it! Keoki was our sushi chef and we let her do her magic (thanks Keoki!) They have an extensive menu (not just the raw stuff but lots of cooked stuff too). The sushi was quite tasty and I fell in love with the space. I want to "do it in every room". My next adventure will surely be the lobster mac and cheese... in a private room... on the floor... read more

I was really surprised to log on and find so many lackluster reviews for Sushi Hai. I was there for the first time last Friday night and our experience was very positive. We had a group of 7 that showed up without a reservation for dinner around 9. We were seated immediately even though the restaurant was still busy at that hour. Our entire group had different choices among their signature cocktails which in general were good but not incredible. The one I ordered was something with strawberries in it which was tasty but the fresh strawberries could have been mashed a little finer. I kept getting straw-clogging chunks that were disrupting my drinking! We ordered two of the fancier rolls (a rainbow roll and something else), a sashimi plate, the gyoza appetizer and the calamari. Both the gyoza and the calamari were very good--the calamari was definitely the stronger of the two if I had to pick one. It was well-seasoned which I find to be difficult as I normally do not like fried calamari because it's so often over-seasoned or over-salted. The rolls were both delicious and comparable in quality to other good sushi restaurants. And I found the sashimi platter to be the standout. With the exception of the octopus and the whitefish, all of the cuts of fish on the plate were fresh and melt-in-your-mouth delicious. I would happily order that again any time. And our service was great, despite what most Yelpers have felt about theirs. Perhaps this place is hit or miss, but it was definitely a hit for our group this weekend. read more

This place is near our home and I think the only reason I have come back here is because it's close and the sushi is good, not the best, but good. Instead of traveling across town to our fave spot, I've settled for this place. Man, I will not be coming here anymore and its chances have run out. Where do I start? The service sucks big time. I have never had service so crappy before. Whether I come during the week or weekend, it's slow and lacks-period. I have sat at the bar, downstairs near the bar, downstairs near the pool tables, and upstairs near the entrance, and mid-section.......do you think I've given it enough chances by now?!? Not anymore. One night I was there, former Mayyor Wellington Web was there having dinner and he even look frustrated when he couldn't get the server to his table to fill his water.......lame. The sushi is good, not the best, but good. The miso soup is watery and lacks just about everything including flavor. read more

I'm kind of surprised by the mixed reviews on this place, I've been here quite a few times and I've never experienced any problems with the fish smelling bad or the staff being rude. I mostly order the rolls and things that don't rely on just a giant piece of raw fish flying solo, so maybe that makes a difference. I've been here quite a few times for lunch and once for dinner and the food has always been solid. I'm not really a sushi purist and pretty much always go for the rolls with shrimp tempura and similar pedestrian fare. Americans, what are you going to do with them? They have a good selection of creative larger rolls, my favorite of which is the Firecracker and the Surf and Turf. I like that for their spicy rolls they don't top them with that spicy mayo, it's a tasty chili oil sauce. The only problem with service we had was once at dinner on a busy weekend night. We had our drinks but our food was taking forever to get there. Finally the waitress came over and said they accidentally put in our order as to-go so it never came up for the table. Without us getting all diva on them (which wouldn't have happened anyway) they comped a bunch of stuff from the bill and also gave us a gift card for a future visit. So I think it was fine; it just gave us more time to drink saketinis. I wouldn't let some of the other reviews scare you away unless you're looking for a place to get exotic varieties of raw fish so you can impress everyone with your well cultivated and refined palate for Asian delicacies. read more

I have to agree with most of the reviews- Sushi Hai is ok...we have been to the bar for drinks a few times, and like the downstairs...so we tried it for dinner for the first time this friday. The service was decent, nothing spectacular, but I've definitely had worse in my years of dining...I agree, the menu is tiny and a yawn. Our normal sushi joint is Hapa in Cherry Creek and we're excited to see what interesting rolls Sushi Hai could offer---I think there were one or two original rolls, and the classic rolls and nigiri were mediocre at best. Crunchy rice, bland, and overall just "ok" I vote for Hapa! read more

I guess I can only really talk about the late night sushi experience at Sushi Hai as I've only been there after 9pm. The late night at Sushi Hai consists of down in the dungeon dining with extremely loud music and folks in their early 20s who are a little overdressed for sushi ... but that's just my opinion. The sushi is ok - having spent 8 years in San Francisco, I guess I was spoiled for fresh seafood. I also worked at a sushi restaurant and feel pretty confident I know what great sushi is. I guess being in the mid west kind of affects just how fresh sushi is, if you're not paying an arm and a leg for it. The service leaves a lot to be desired. Maybe that's a late night thing too? Last time I went, my boyfriend and I sat for at least 10 minutes before (finally) a uniformed policeman came over with a menu for us (What the ...?) because he said we looked hungry. Since eating there twice, I've been advised that I should always check my bill there ... apparently they have a habit of double charging you for drinks. Drinks are put on the regular menu tab, and then also added again at the bottom of the check from the bar. Unfortunately, I didn't check my bill but will DEFINITELY do so if I decide to eat there again. The food isn't bad, service is less than great, but all in all, you get what you pay for (unless you're being double charged for drinks!) read more

I don't know what was worse the amount of time it took to get the sushi, or the product itself. We just moved to this area from out of town, heard this place was 'amazing.' Not so my friends, not so. Besides the food under delivering, we got to hear the cooks and servers argue about why several dishes went out wrong to and wrong tables. Shit show much? I'll not only never come back here, I'll make sure everyone I meet doesn't either. Massive FAIL. read more

Man, I used to like the lower lounge - when did that Techno blast arrive? At least we had some dancing girls outside our not so private group room there... which might have been fun but we had to seriously make sure the doors were re-closed each time the waiter or buss person came through, or we couldn't talk. If you're put off by the so-so sushi, ya might have a go at the sliders. I know, odd for a fish joint... but they were ok. The best dish I've had here of late was the crab salad, but they need to work on consistency for sure. I'm hoping the place will come back around cause it is a cool space. read more

Visiting with friends this came recommended. Nice trendy location. The sushi was good & moderately priced. Had the Vegas, Mango, & Shrimp Tempura rolls. The Mango roll was the best I've had any where else. read more
