    He's a 2 but gets lunch at Turtle Boat! It doesn't get better than this, isn't just something I tell myself in the mirror to make me feel better as an affirmation but is also true about the quality of food and service here!!!

    Striped bass, rainbow trout, kani and seaweed salad
    Richard J.

    Overall it was good. Staff was super friendly and helpful since it was our first time. Solid portion amount for the regular size but I think I personally like a good ratio of just the base and fish. I ended up getting rainbow trout and striped bass as my protein, picked a variety of vegetable toppings, yuzu vinaigrette as my sauce, added most of the aromatic and crunchy toppings, kani and seaweed salad to top it off. It was good quality fish and toppings but the sauce was really lacking that yuzu kinda punch and also would have also been nice to have a little sauce or seasoning on the rice. The sauce on my girlfriends order was really good though (spicy mayo and house sauce together)

    Just plopped into town and it was the first cuisine experience for a a group of 4 -- and everyone was thrilled. Delicious! Sustainable fish -- 5 stars! Amazing toppings. Outside seating. LOVE it. Want to take this back home with me to San Francisco! Thanks Turtle Boat!

    The service here cannot be beat. Patient, kind and helpful. Love that you don't have to pay extra to have all the toppings added. Just order the "full boat". Awesome options for vegan and vegetarians too. Best place in Denver to get poke!!!

    As a vegan who doesn't like tofu, finding a poke place can be challenging. Turtle Boat was recommended to me as just a poke place, but when I checked out their site and learned about all their vegan options, I had to try it! Their staff was very helpful in explaining all the different vegan options and what they were made of. Every item has a respective V for vegan, GF for gluten free, and/or SF for soy free sticker next to it so you can make easy choices based on your dietary needs or preferences. The amount of food you get for the price is good! It's all high quality and fresh. The pickled ginger is amazing, all the diverse toppings work together nicely. I really enjoyed my meal, it had good heat without being overpowering and all the layers of fresh, crunchy, fermented, tangy flavors was lovely! I will definitely be back!

    Fresh Fresh Fresh!

    I went in hungry and confused as to why my frequented poke spot was closed at 1:00 pm. That's a common lunch hour after all! Never the matter, Turtle Boat satisfied my grumbling belly and has won my business. The seafood and veggies are noticeably fresher, and much more delectable. You guys are a treat! Thank you for all that you do, stay Clorado proud!

    What a great spot! The staff was very friendly and willing to offer suggestions for good flavor combinations. The bowl ingredients was fresh and had a little kick of spice. The person preparing my dish also pointed out the sustainability of their local ingredients. I had the bass and all the mix ins. The salad was a nice break from lots of rice. Spicy edamame and a little potato salad were fun to try, too. The ambiance was hip - graffiti outside with tables for some fresh air. A few seats inside, but nothing fancy.

    Large plate w/ striped bass, salmon, wasabe-mole, Korean glass noodle salad, and a little bit of all of the toppings. YUM!

    Not only is the food STILL amazing, but I am stunned by their support of the local community amidst the Covid-19 pandemic. Today, Turtle Boat was giving out free soup to folks, no questions asked. They gave you an option on bathe order form to donate, and those proceeds are going to support nurses and hospitality/food service professionals. I know Turtle Boat's business is hurting right now too, so it really warms my heart to see them continuing to give back to the local community. Thanks for the generosity Turtle Boat! I'm so glad to have you in the neighborhood!

    Amazing service and great, clean space. Happy to stop in today to support local and check this spot out for My first time. Everything tasted SO fresh and I loved the variety. The employee was friendly and suggested lots of great items. He was very knowledgeable about the sauces and helped me pick the perfect one. I'm happy I stopped in and supported this local business. This Poke is fresh and delicious. Next time I will get the bigger portion!

    Tingan Z.

    The best poke!!! Delicious and amazing every time. So many interesting / non traditional toppings and protein choices. They also are very thoughtful about being sustainable and local (local fish choices, local beverages, compostable bags, etc).

    Salmon and Ahi on white rice
    Elizabeth M.

    OMG I love this place and wish it was closer to my house, but I will be going out of my way to come back again soon with friends. The ownership and staff is very friendly, helpful, and I love how they source the items they sell locally (food as well as the Kombucha they sell). The fish was fresh and they have out of the ordinary fish from the competition (the striped bass was delicious). I got the Salmon and Stripped Bass on greens with Krab and Wasabi Guac and I got my husband the Salmon and Ahi Tuna with Krab and Seaweed Salad. The topping are great, they are not stingy on what they put in their bowl, and the Siracha mayo was tasty on my greens as well. They have three sizes and we each had a medium which was a good size. I did togo, but there is a small eating area and a small amount of seating outside. Parking is available in back which is great. I will definitely be back even though it is not that convenient from my home as this local business definitely stands out from the other poke competition! Enjoy!

    Shwetha B.

    When did poke bowls turn so vegetarian/vegan friendly? Thanks turtle boat! The staff was extremely helpful and patient in explaining the options to us and the bowl we got at the end was fresh and tasty! The texture and flavors were impressive. I must say I was really happy with my first ever bowl of poke! Murals on the outside are pretty cool too!

    My friend's order of Snack bowl from Turtle Boat.
    Riza H. C.

    We went here for a slightly late Saturday lunch after running some errands. We managed to find a parking spot at the back of this tiny establishment. Once we enter Turtle Boat, we are greeted promptly and straight away go to the counter to order our food aka "Chipotle" style. The staffs who handled our transactions, answered all our questions with regards to the menu. My friend opt to have the snack size ($7.99) and Izze can beverage ($1.49), while I opt for the large size bowl ($13.99) with 3 proteins and 3 different types of salads, that you can choose. As for beverage, I opt to purchase a can of Coconut Juice ($2.25) which you can get at the refrigerated section on the left wing of the Ordering Counter. In terms of the portions, its doable.. but for what you get in terms of proteins, its limited for my taste bud, hence this 3 stars painful heartfelt review. There is a water dispenser (self-service) if you want at the back of this establishment located next to the washroom and other disposable cutlery. Turtle Boat is tiny though they are kept clean at all times. There are patio seating available outside Turtle Boat itself. I finished my lunch, coz I was "starving"... But maybe due to the fact, there aren't much of variety, I just go with the flow. The service from the staffs are indeed stellar. That alone received 4 stars in my books. To return its a maybe, and I hope they can offer many more variety options that can call my name err in this case my rumbling tummy as I wrote this review.

    Came to visit this place for the first time on Valentines Day and it has become a favorite!…read moreTo start, the host let us know upon arrival that they were out of all sauces besides the garlic butter and also out of other items which was a little disappointing. I was very skeptical at that point if I was going to really like this place. Next, we got seated quite quickly although there were 5 couples ahead of us. All the staff members I encountered were very friendly, nice and attentive which was a huge plus, especially considering how busy it was that day. We ordered our food and noticed they had very good prices and cheaper than our go-to seafood boil place so that's a win! The food came out hot, our server emptied out the bags for us which was very nice. I ordered the shrimp with head on xxtra hot and It was the perfect spice level for my latina taste buds, absolutely loved it even with just the garlic butter sauce. My husband got snow crab and he was very pleased with how tasty and easy it was to crack them open and get the crab out. If you have leftovers they will pack it up for you which is another plus for me! Lastly, I got a beautiful rose to end the night when we were heading out which was a nice touch! Overall, I will definitely be coming back to this restaurant. It was delicious and cooked perfectly! I am excited to try out their other sauces and look forward to it!

Always get a side of the Cajun fries too! Food never feels overcooked and the service workers are always friendly and attentive. I love that they provide good quality gloves to grub with, they make a difference! Space is clean, spacious and there's plenty of sinks to wash your hands after you get all sauced up. Pro tip: crawfish season is typically April/May, call them before you go to see if they have fresh crawfish in!

I ordered flan, they had run out and they just gave me for free as they felt bad. That really made me feel welcome and that they are really sincere about customer service. The food we ordered was awesome. Hot, fresh and made with care. It was a take out order and it was still box and packed with care. Their red sauce is crazy tasty. Make sure you try it. The building is bright, clean and well maintained. The parking is convenient and right in front of the building. I love this place and I will be returning within the week.

    We visited for lunch. To begin, the good. When we entered the place, the host greeted us pleasantly…read moreand showed us to our table. The space is fun, kind of an old school dark/black place punctuated by mirrors and bright art. The menu had what appeared to be many good choices, not only steaks, burgers, etc, but also some Greek and Mexican options. It took a while for us to decide from among them. Maceo ordered a gin and tonic. First hint that all would not be well with the meal. The g&t was warm. A little ice, but thoroughly warm. And it didn't taste either very gin-like, though Maceo had ordered top shelf, nor very tonic-y. One of the worst g&ts we've ever had. And expensive. I ordered the Ten Burger, which included mushrooms and onions. I asked for the burger to be cooked medium rare. Maceo ordered the Philly Steak. It took a very long time for our meals to come out. The place was nearly empty, only two other tables of patrons, but we waited and waited and waited. When the food finally appeared, it was room temperature/cold, as if it had sat waiting for a long while before being taken to the table. The Philly Steak was cold. And not only cold, but in sitting it had lost its juices, so the entire sandwich was dry. The steak itself was cooked nicely, and was tender. The sandwich probably would have been tasty had it been served while still piping hot. Though I had ordered my burger medium rare, it came out very well done. Exceedingly well done. Thoroughly gray nothingness. And the fries were cold. With tip we ended up spending $105 on this meal. We feel very silly. And we also feel sad, because we were hoping that Steakhouse 10 would be an excellent place that would become our new regular spot when visiting Englewood.

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!
