Matsuhisa Denver

We were originally heading to Matsuhisa in Vail. When that didn't pan out, we decided to head to Matsuhisa in Denver. Very glad we did. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted very friendly, and lead to our table. We started off with their light and palate enriching mixed greens, with their own Matsuhisa dressing. We also added the cucumber sunomono, which again, was perfect, and exactly what we were looking for to start the meal. Then a series of Daily Special appetizers came; the lobster ceviche, the tri-color cauliflower with jalapeno and serrano sauce, and the spicy tuna with crispy rice. I could eat just the appetizers for dinner! All the items were just as scrumptious as you see in the attached pictures! If I only had a larger stomach to eat each of them twice! For the main course, we did order the Sushi Combo; wanting to try a little of everything. They did not disappoint! The sushi is among the freshest I've ever had, and it just equates the deliciousness to the start of the meal. We finished off with their Miso-Butterscotch Shaved Ice. I have to admit, I hesitated on the pairing of the sauce, and was glad I got passed that original thought, and had it! It was the perfect ending to the meal. It was light, sweet, but not too sweet - as it was balanced by the miso, and just perfect. Rianna, our server, was perfect in timing, every time, every plate. Not too early, not too late. Every step of the course was meticulously timed, and it showed. I absolutely enjoyed my experience at Matsuhisa in Denver, and glad that I didn't have to trek to Vail to get the same!Thank you, Matsuhisa Denver, for a fantastic experience! I'd definitely recommend to anyone seeking sushi for the day. Try it out! You never know! Happy eating!

We came in for the Omakase experience and it did not disappoint! Everything was sublime. Our sushi chef Matsuh was amazing and our server Jessica was absolutely incredible. Highly recommend this to anyone looking for the best sushi experience Denver has to offer.

This place was insane!! Easily one of the best meals I’ve had in Denver. Yes, it’s definitely on the pricey side, but in my opinion, it’s worth every penny. The ingredients were incredibly fresh and high quality, the flavors were complex yet beautifully balanced, and the service was flawless from start to finish. The restaurant itself is also beautifully designed, giving high-end and sultry. I’d go all the time if my wallet could keep up!

Had dinner with family, the appetizers came out quick, mocktails were good, entrees were well appreciated by everyone for taste and quality. My seafood soup pouring of the hot broth was a mishap spilling over my legs and shirt which could have been avoided, the manager offered some towel to clean up, which was an inconvenience in the otherwise nice experience.

Been here twice. The first time was amazing, so I booked this restaurant again for my birthday. However the second time was disappointing. The hot dishes came out fast enough but between the hot dishes and our large sushi order it was a wait of 40+ minutes. This is a bit awkward to say but you know how sometimes someone talks to you and accidentally lands a spittle on your face? It happened with our sever so for the rest of the night I was anxious that some spit would get on my food when they introduce the food. What really made me realize I’m not coming back was the dessert. I got the cherry blossom green tea tiramisu. The tiramisu came with two macarons- a matcha and a chocolate one. The chocolate one came with a hole on it (?) so i didn’t fully include it in the photo. The macarons were super dry and flavorless (both flavors tasted the same)- they were worse than grocery store macarons. In fact they taste like grocery store macarons that have been out too long and expired. Husband took a bite and was also surprised at how dry and flavorless they are - you cannot distinguish any “chocolate” or “matcha” flavor. The rest of the tiramisu was good. Both times we spent around $400. At this price range I think it’s reasonable to expect some level of care such as not getting old dry macarons (one of which came with a hole in the center) . As the finishing dish of the night that’s all we can remember and therefore will be seeking another restaurant for future celebrations.

I came here to try their Omakase experience which has 9 courses and it was really amazing! I sat at the Sushi Bar (which I highly recommend) and had many interactions with the Sushi chefs. They started with a palette cleanser, followed by an escargot dish which was quite nice. The next was some sashimi, nigiri, a salad, a fish entree which were all refreshing and complimented one after another. Then came the star dish I was waiting for which was the Miyazaki A5 Wagyu Beef which was so delectable, flavorful and rich. It was then followed with a rich soup which I hoped was lighter after the A5 but was still great. Finally, I was served a peach ice cream dessert which was a great finish for the experience! The hostess serving me all the dishes was amazing and very informative about everything and took my input for a personalized experience (I just mentioned her to get the chef's recommendation). Overall, I loved the experience and although expensive, I recommend people to try it out.

Food was delicious, perfect environment and staff was carefully taken care 9f everything. Drinks were delicious. Parking to come here is perfect is valet and is just steps from the door.

Probably the fanciest sushi 🍣 place at Denver. Front desk didnt work perfectly, I we celebrated a birthday, and let them know. Needed to remind again. And a compliment we got an extremely staled macaroon, instead to put the candle on our dessert as I asked. But overall great experience, and wonderful wine list

Matsuhisa came highly recommended from a couple of friends in Denver...and for very good reason. Food, drinks, ambience, and service all merit the full five stars (surprising for a sushi place that's nowhere near fresh or salt water, I might add...) I arrived early and was delighted to have a cocktail and a chat with the server, who, as it turns out, was from my home town. When my guest arrived, we enjoyed the spicy tuna with crispy rice and the rock shrimp tempura as apps -- two classics that came highly recommended by the gentleman taking care of our table. For the nigiri, we asked him to bring us what he thought was good. We're both adventurous eaters and didn't want to go the cliche maki route...and we made the right choice. Wish I could remember precisely our order...but it was all different than what one would typically have at the local sushi joint...The key, as in any good sushi restaurant imho, is to rely upon the team to tell you what's good that night. Absolutely fully priced...and absolutely worth it.

Insane collection of fabulous menu items. And yes, it's incredibly expensive. Wife and I went in for her birthday dinner and spent a ton of money for really great service, exceptional sushi, and fabulous cocktails. It's a very cool space, definitely a place to be seen, and has a gigantic menu filled with anything you could ever want. With a couple of glasses of Japanese whisky in hand we perused the menu and landed on a we'll-need-to-waddle-out-of-here amount of food. A few pieces of sashimi, a few pieces of nigiri, multiple appetizers, basically anything the waiter suggested and whatever we'd seen on social media and all of that. And there wasn't a single thing we would've changed. We loved it all. I'm not even bothering to list out all the specific things we had, because it basically doesn't matter. It's all excellently prepared from top shelf ingredients and its wonderful. It's just...very expensive, and that's life sometimes. But you get what you pay for.

WOW WOW WOW. This is Chef Nobu's third restaurant in Colorado, with the other two locations in Aspen & Vail. This new-style Japanese and was to die for. While everything was truly great, I'd say the must try items are: yellowtail jalapeño sashimi & crispy spicy tuna. Our entire group was happy dancing between each bite. Ambiance is mid-modern minimalist, the restaurant is truly beautiful. Our server guided us throughout the entire sushi experience and it did not disappoint.

Our server gave us the BEST recommendations. He was fantastic. Be prepared to spend at least $100 per person here. Fish is high quality.

Came here for our anniversary and were satisfied with our experience. I will say they have a meal that is mirrors much more of what you would get traditionally for sushi, so come expecting an experience. The environment is set beautifully with dim lighting and low music. The hints of architecture make it easy to feel as though you are fading into an Asian getaway. The food was delicious and rich and flavor (though very hard to picture in low lighting). The only thing that I will note is that to truly be full you will want to prepare both in stomach and in pocket to order various items and also consider what flavor profile you are wanting to align to as there are so many different angles to take.

Food was good, not incredible. Some dishes were fresh, while others did not taste quite as fresh. The hamachi was very typical, but had a fishy taste at the end. The spicy tuna with crispy rice is a fun dish that I highly recommend. All the other food items we tried were good. They had some off menu items such as the sea bass with truffle I would highly recommend. The servers have great recommendations as well. I was more impressed with the service we received. The servers are so amazing and very knowledgeable on all the menu items. It was a great experience overall. The atmosphere inside is lovely and spacious. They have a full bar available. There is valet parking available as well. Overall, good for a date night or to celebrate something special.

Matsuhisa is as good and almost exactly like Nobu. While it's pricey, it's delicious and I never regret going there. This location is near a wealthy shopping area, and it's a nice treat after a long day of walking around Denver. I went at 5pm because I had early evening plans. The restaurant was dead at 5pm so the service was quick. I didn't love the service that I had, hence the four stars, but the experience was still good. I felt that the server I had was not happy I was a solo diner (usually this equates to less money spent), but that also could've just been his style of service. Things I loved: - Toro with Caviar - Snow Crab Nigiri - Wagyu Nigiri - Crab Handroll - Chocolate Habanero Mochi

Lovely ambiance, an up-tempo vibe with great music, an attractive crowd and delish cuisine. The Nebbiolo was beautiful, the cocktails were excellent. I highly recommend allowing your server to guide your selections and enjoy! We loved the spicy tuna with crispy rice-it's such a textured, tactile, interactive dish. Everything I've had here is incredible. Sat at the cocktail bar this round which I hope to do again, it was a total vibe. :) My favorite bottle of mezcal was in stock behind the bar. The bartender suggested a salmon nigiri upgrade and it was the best fish I enjoyed that eve. I love this place. Would love to try out the Aspen or Vail location sometime.

Had an excellent meal here. Fish quality was top notch. The cod and dumplings were also delish.

I'm giving Matsuhisa 5 stars only for the fact that I can't give it more, because this place was amazing. The service is wonderful and the food was some of the best I've ever had. The Yellowtail Jalapeno was fantastic. The spicy tuna, crispy rice was great and the Sea Bass with black truffle was out of this world. We also got a Peruvian Sushi Roll that wasn't listed on the menu and WOW, it literally was one of the best sushi rolls I've ever had. The flavors punched you in the mouth (in a good way) I can't wait to come back.......!!

A birthday treat - This restaurant is the top of the bustling culinary scene of Denver - a beacon of exceptional dining, amazing ambiance, flawlessly combining traditional Japanese culinary artistry with the tantalizing influences of Peruvian flavors. This culinary oasis, presided over by the renowned chef Nobu Matsuhisa, delivers an unforgettable dining experience that transcends the boundaries of ordinary sushi. Our journey begins with a flourish as the Yellowtail Jalapeño sashimi graces your palate. This elegant dish embodies a perfect union of tender yellowtail and the fiery allure of jalapeño slices, creating an enticing symphony of textures and flavors that dance on the taste buds. However, the true pièce de résistance is the world-famous Black Cod Miso. This dish is poetry on a plate. The delicate sweetness of the miso marinade envelops the succulent black cod, creating a harmonious marriage of flavors that leaves an indelible mark. It's no exaggeration to declare this dish as legendary, and it's an absolute must-try for any visitor. For those seeking an indulgent experience, the Miyazaki wagyu beef is a luxurious option that showcases the highest quality beef, meticulously prepared to perfection. The rich marbling of the Miyazaki wagyu elevates the entire experience, making it a testament to Matsuhisa's commitment to sourcing only the finest ingredients but rather pricey. The king crab claw tempura with butter ponzu is another delightful creation that flawlessly blends Japanese technique with Peruvian zest. The tempura batter is light and crisp, serving as a delightful contrast to the succulent king crab claw. The butter ponzu sauce adds a delectable richness that elevates this dish to gourmet heights. Last but not least, the octopus tiradito provides a refreshing and invigorating conclusion to your culinary journey. The tender slices of octopus are masterfully paired with vibrant Peruvian-inspired sauces, resulting in a delightful burst of flavors that awaken the senses and recommended for anyone that enjoyed the eight legged creature. Matsuhisa is more than just a sushi restaurant; it's a gastronomic adventure that celebrates the art of fusion cuisine. The restaurant's commitment to sourcing top-quality ingredients and the impeccable execution of each dish under Chef Matsuhisa's watchful eye is evident in every bite and definitely the best seafood available in Denver in my opinion. While dining here, you'll be treated not only to a meal but to a culinary voyage that seamlessly melds Japanese traditions with Peruvian influences. Matsuhisa Denver is a gem in the city's culinary landscape, offering an experience that is, quite simply, a symphony for the senses.

So so good, but wow it's expensive. Some Items are just laughable because of how expensive. If you're looking to save money, this is not the place. However, for a special occasion this place is amazing. Great food and service.

Matsuhisa is an incredible dining experience. I love a fun and fancy dinner out with my husband and this might be the new go-to place for date night. Book reservations early in advance if you want a specific day/time because it can get tough grabbing a last minute reservation. From start to finish, I enjoyed everything we ordered. My favorite dishes were the crispy rice and tuna and the chilean seabass with truffles. OH MY GOD! So freakin delicious. I wish wish wish the portions were larger so I could eat more of everything. Our waitress was extremely helpful with the menu and even wrote a bunch of stuff down for us to order the next time we go, which I hope is sometime soon. My husband LOVED the sushi roll we ordered. I tried some of it and I could not believe how much flavor was packed into such a small bite of food. Such an awesome restaurant.

Came with my husband for our anniversary mid-week on a Tuesday. He'd made the reservation in advanced, but we still ended up waiting about 15 minutes for our table. It seemed a bit busy- especially for a random Tuesday in August. Once seated, I wasn't thrilled by our table neighbors. We had a 2-top smack in the middle of a family with young children, and a group of 6 semi-inebriated adults. Hey, no judgement, but maybe the room layout wasn't conducive to intimacy? I dunno, but I was definitely able to hear convos from both tables (probably just too close) Speaking of atmosphere, I think this is really what kills it for my husband and I. Dark- sure, sets the mood. Music- um, a bit loud and kinda techno/EDM vibes? We concluded that the restaurant felt to "Vegas-y" and didn't really feel inviting. Oh- the food? It was alright. Presentation was nicely plated, fish was definitely high quality. Service? I hate to say it, but the bus person was perhaps the kindest and most connected individual we interacted with all evening. From the host who sat us and was barely whispering to our server who seemed rushed and boisterous when we asked what items on the menu contained- it was a less than stellar experience. For the price, I would have hoped for and expected more. Maybe it's the Cherry Creek vibe? Don't think I'll be coming back- there's waaaay to many good sushi places in Denver.

Incredible meal Last night. Nick was the server - we just let him order and it was spectacular. It's pricey but if you can splurge once in a while you can't go wrong here.

Service is phenomenal, waiters are very patient with you when you're deciding and give you very detailed and thoughtful recommendations. Food is very good and fresh, but I failed to find anything that seriously wowed me for the price. Some highlights were the salmon nigiris (smoked salmon and copper river Alaska salmon), the spicy tuna crispy rice, and the shaved ice dessert. Everything else we got was either pretty average or disappointing. They also don't have a very appealing menu of sushi rolls as all their options are just the name of the fish in the roll and there are no creative or specialty rolls that I've come to expect. The miso soup was unpleasant to eat because it was borderline boiling in temperature and burnt our tongues. The yellowtail jalapeño sashimi is supposed to be the "signature dish that put Nobu [Matsuhisa] on the map", but it was in my opinion way too citrusy, cut too thick, and doesn't come close to specialty sashimis at comparable restaurants. The octopus sashimi we got was unsatisfactory in preparation as it was just two pieces of raw octopus served on some generic greens when usually octopus sashimi is marinated in some way. The cocktails were good for the most part and strong, but not necessarily memorable. We also ordered a lobster roll, but it never came and we had to inform the waiter. When it did come we thought it was pretty good. Overall while the food is good I probably wouldn't recommend coming here because the price is very, very high, their selection of rolls is underwhelming and most of the other selections on the menu aren't particularly memorable. Most of the other top-rated sushi places in Denver top this place for sure.

The food at Matsuhisa was fabulous!!! We were here for our friend's birthday and we loved it. It was really cool to try a variety of different foods. We were eating so quick I barely got any pictures! The service was amazing and our waiter was super helpful and friendly. The ambiance at the restaurant was really chill and nice, it felt fancy but not overly stuffy. Can't wait to go back!

"You get what you pay for"... Not always the case in higher scale restaurants but Matsu Denver does not disappoint! The atmosphere is a scene. Which is nice considering how casual the state is. Women dressed up, like dresses and heels (yes!) and some men in jackets, some still stuck in their teenage closets sporting hoodies and shorts. I would recommend making an effort for this place. It's worth it to people watch alone. Service is upscale and the wait staff is trained incredibly well. We didn't order much outside of our waiters recommendation and honestly I would go back just for the waiter, but we don't have to because the sushi is the best in the state. Ask for the wait staffs opinion and you will not be disappointed. Warm dishes were also phenomenal and everything is a good portion to allow you to choose multiple items. Reservations right now are about a month out so make sure to plan for this place.

Wonderful dinner to celebrate our anniversary. We all enjoyed the toro tartare w caviar, uni oyster shooters and the omakase. Sake was delicious. Not sure if I would order the Smoked and Toasted cocktail again - just wasn't for me I guess. Interior of the restaurant was beautiful and peaceful. Wasn't overly noisy - could definitely have a nice conversation with your dinner guests without having to talk loudly. Service was great!

We went to Matsuisha for an early Valentine's Day/Anniversary dinner and had an awesome time! The vibe was very modern yet still intimate. Service was good and the food was timed perfectly. We tried three of the Matsuisha/Nobu specialties: spicy tuna crispy rice, black miso cod, and yellowtail jalapeño. The spicy tuna crispy rice had a one of a kind texture with the cold tuna and warm fried rice squares. The yellowtail was extremely fresh but I personally would have preferred more heat. The black miso cod is really a one of a kind bite full of umami and you MUST try it. The sushi combo plate and Wagyu tacos were tasty but nothing to write home about. The salmon sashimi was delicious and had a nice green onion flavor. Our drinks were fantastic! I had a lychee martini which was perfectly sweet and cold. We also had some Japanese whiskey and cold sake-- both impressing us with how smooth they were. The only reason Matsuisha isn't getting 5 stars was because the atmosphere and service reflected a more casual experience, but the menu prices communicated a very upscale experience. This might be because Denver itself is very casual, but this dichotomy is something to consider before checking it out.

We had a lovely dinner there the other night. Chad helped guide us through the extensive menu which will definitely fill you up by the end of the night. We started with the bluefin truffle special which was good but not as amazing as the ora king salmon. That literally melted in your mouth. Then we had a selection of tacos--the fish, lobster and crab. I was a fan of the crab and my wife the fish but they were all great small bites. Then we had the miso cod and a few ounces of wagyu as a main which were both lovely. We each had a peru margarita to start and the kosta brown pinot which worked perfectly with the meal. Overall it was a great evening and we look forward to returning

This made for a lovely date night! Would I go back? Probably not. The reviews that critiqued the service were fairly accurate. Service was very dry and unwelcoming. The scallop foi Gras was $24 for 1 bite? Hot sake was $30? I get that quality sushi isn't cheap but that's a reach! The food was delish nonetheless and the atmosphere was lovely. Menu needs better descriptions and service needs more consistency. The table next to us had what sounded like a great server so morr of that

From the start of the experience till the end everyone we encountered was attentive and friendly. Hard to find these days but Matsuhisa nails it. Restaurant was very clean and the attention to details were noticed. Everything lined up perfectly. Chairs, tables etc.... FOOD was amazing. Seafood melts in your mouth. Some of the freshest seafood I have ever tasted. Already making our next reservation!

I've been so impressed anytime I've visited the Matsuhisa in Denver and in Aspen! They truly are a refined Japanese restaurant that elevates some of the traditional flavors that we have come to know and love. The space is elegant and modern with moody lighting which is great for a special occasion, business dinner or date night. The ingredients are dependably fresh and that definitly translates into the quality and flavors of the dishes. While portion sizes tend to be on the smaller side, I find that I really want to spend the time to savor and enjoy the dishes, company, and ambiance in a restaurant like Matsuhisa. Some of our favorite go-to dishes are the Miso Cod, which is so incredibly delicate and desliscious. The eggplant, which is a wonderful starter with sweet and savory elements that truly shine, the Rita Dito roll with shishito peppers, and the New Style roll! Honestly, you can't go wrong, Matsuhisa is truly a wonderful spot to try in Denver (or Aspen)!

Very fancy sushi place in cherry creek Prices didn't seem super outrageous tho, kind of seemed average. Rolls under $20 I think We asked for a chefs special We got 3 nigiri (2 each) which all tasted normal, salmon, tuna, and yellowtail Shrimp tempura roll was pretty good Teradito roll was very delicious, I loved the sauce I got the lychee limeade which was tasty. I had them put some grenadine in the second one and it was even better Friend got 3 alcoholic drinks, total was $150 before tax and tip Overall alright

Not the place it used to be. I came here when they first opened in Denver for my birthday, and even though my husband and I spent $500 for the 2 of us, it felt worth it -- from the service to the food. I've been recommending it to everyone for a sushi date night since then, but I am going to stop. It's really gone downhill it seems: so popular, that they don't feel the need to try anymore. Came here last night for my husband's and my anniversary. My reservation said anniversary, and my husband called ahead, too. Not a word or even simple "congrats" from them (god forbid they do something like other restaurants and bring a special dessert or glass of bubbles or whatever). $18 PER dumpling that didn't taste like foie gras or truffle (the two main advertised ingredients) -- and that was generally the theme: super overpriced rates for dishes that just tasted good, not great. I can easily name restaurants in town with better dishes of each type for half the price. They ran out of their "live" specials halfway through the holiday weekend -- otherwise I might have had something positive to review. Oh, and the upcharge on the drinks! Look, I know this is where restaurants make money. But take this example: one of my favorite champagnes, Ruinart, costs $90 in store, $130 at Chez Maggy downtown (which is also nice and fancy), and $182 here. Considering the sommelier barely spoke to us for 5 minutes and then didn't even bother being the one to pour our wine... what are we paying for? Just not the place it used to be -- feels like they're mailing it in because they can.

The ambience in here was so nice. It was dimly lit and intimate. I'm glad the receipts at the sushi bar because I loved watching them work. We got a few tapas plates to share and I'm glad we did because we got to try all different things. I can't wait to come back and try even more! Our server was very helpful and attentive. I'd like to come back for drinks as well, as they all looked wonderfully crafted

Celebrated my birthday here. It's a great looking restaurant with good service. However I wasn't impressed by the quality of the fish. Tried yellowtail sashimi which didn't melt in my mouth and octopus sashimi which was chewy. The best dish was the scallop on a bed of Brussels sprouts. For rolls, both the signature and the torro roll were good but not spectacular. The salads were great, greens and hearts of palm. Fresh ingredients and well seasoned, as well as good size. For dessert we had mochi ice cream and they were fine. Overall I wouldn't pay the $$$ price for this fish. I think Izakaya Den has better fish.

Some of the best waitstaff I've experienced, serving from a hit-or-miss menu at extremely inflated prices. Cocktails were decent, but nothing to write home about, the kind of thing found in kaiseki restaurants nationwide. Contrary to other reviews, everything is *not* solid. You can, in fact, go wrong here. Many of the dishes are quite bland. In particular, the deep fried softshell crab was nearly completely flavorless, and the unagi shirayaki suffered from the lack of sauce. While some of the off-menu items were more decent, and my partner really enjoyed the deep fried uni, Matsuhisa would have needed to be half the price to be on par with even its local competition. I'll certainly go, if someone else is paying, but for my money, there are much better options in town.

It'll cost you an arm and a leg, but Matsuhisa is good. Portions are small and you're going to probably leave the restaurant still hungry or having paid the equivalent of a car down payment for your meal. However, everything is solid and I can't fault them for high prices. After all, to have seafood this fresh and to be nowhere near water is a miracle in itself. Definitely get a mix of things -- nigiri, maki, sashimi, salads, fried dishes, grilled, etc. to have the best experience.

Amazing service. Sushi like you've never had before. The ambiance was upbeat and busy but not too loud or crowded. An amazing time for our anniversary. We'll definitely go back.

Adore this place for work and personal meetings. I love the ambiance and the food and drinks are fabulous. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for good sushi.

So so impressed with this place. Our server Jeremy was on point. We let him take control of the order and did not disappoint. This was a special anniversary for us and we are so happy with the choice we made. Best yellowtail I've ever had. The chefs knifes skills show.

This place hits the nail on the head every time! The food, the service, the cocktails! We also love the atmosphere, it feels fancy but not stuffy. We have been for a few different occasions, and they recognize it subtly and well. A macaron , candle and a little chocolate that says "Happy Birthday" is more than enough for me. In this day and age, no one "owes" people Birthday desserts or drinks. Red and Tiffany were a fantastic team, and he really kept in touch with us about what we liked and didn't like to curate the next course. I highly recommend letting them curate a menu for you, based on your preferences and budget. The rice pudding dessert is *AMAZING* and I wish I could find a recipe. Great for a family/group meal

This place is delicious! Kimberly was our server and she was excellent. We told her our food preferences and she ordered several courses for us based off of them. Every dish followed our preferences. All were different, delightful, and you should ask for Kimberly! All of the fish was so fresh, great atmosphere. Loved the lighting

The most EPIC gastronomic experience I've ever had for Japanese cuisine. (Especially the Uni, Toro, and Aspen roll ) Also highly recommend YK35 and TK40 for sake choices. . Each dish was perfection, smooth sake, relaxing ambiance and service was top notch, too tier 1000/10 recommend if you end up in Denver. Shoutout to Alex for explaining everyone well chef's kiss !!! We really enjoyed this

Came here for the omakase experience. Overall what I would order again: spicy tuna crispy rice, filet mignon, lava cake, and the tequila gardener cocktail. - yellowtail with jalapeños: nice and nothing special - salmon new style: melts in your mouth - spicy tuna crispy rice: my favorite appetizer! Special. Highly recommend - sashimi salad with tuna tataki: a transition between coureies with citrusy sauce - rock shrimp tempura: I know a lot of people love this dish but I think it's just okay. Got a slightly sweet flavor. Disappointed that it's not really spicy - black cod miso: decent. Tender and flavorful - filet mignon with anticucho sauce: my favorite dish of the night! Perfect medium rare filet mignon with a bunch of grilled veggies and a flavorful sauce - assorted sushi and rolls: underwhelming - lava cake: I highly recommend! Small size guilt free - uni rolls: delicious! Glad that this place has it - tequila gardener: nice cocktail. If you don't mind a little spiciness in your drink this one I highly recommend since it's refreshing Service: Everyone has been friendly and changes our plates frequently , except for one waiter - he served drinks for the table and checked my ID. This is a company event in a reserved private room with 10+ professionals. I couldn't believe it that I was the only one that got IDed and I was the only Asian in the room. My colleagues were all embarrassed and I tried to laugh it off...but, you would expect the waiter to be more respectful and sensitive about it at an upscale JAPANESE restaurant!!

Impeccable food, service and atmosphere. There are very few things I haven't eaten or I should say preparations of certain foods that are out of the box and innovative. Eggplant was sublime, sushi was straight from Japan and the Sea Bass with truffle was once in a lifetime. Service was stellar... This place is not inexpensive but it is one of the best in Denver and the country.

Great food. Outstanding service. Great ambience. Best bartenders in cherry creek. Creative dishes that aren't all caked down with sugar and mayonnaise sauce like other sushi/japanese restaurants.

David was one of the best waiters I've ever had. I definitely will be coming back the food was awesome.

There's great food and great service but the prices are ridiculous for the portion size. Hard to validate "can't wait to be back!" when you're spending over $150 a person and leaving hungry.

Matsuhisa! The food was out of this world- the best we've ever eaten!! Jessica took such good care of our table, thank you, Jessica! And thank you, Nydia, for sharing your expertise in Japanese cuisine!

We love going here every once in a while. Good and service are both wonderful. Miso cod lettuce cups and oyster shooters are delicious, but you can't go wrong with anything here. It is definitely pricey.

Although pricey, it was well worth it! We tried lots of different things for my birthday and I loved everything. The chef even made dessert sushi which was very cute and creative. The service and ambiance were top notch. This is a perfect spot for a special occasion or night out!

We made last minute reservations on a Monday because we wanted something special for a birthday celebration. WOW. Food was SO GOOD. Service amazing. Price is $$$$ on par with LA or NYC for Michelin Star restaurants but absolutely one of the best restaurants creativity wise we have tried lately in the Denver area. Worth it if you can splurge, even if just to try a few apps. See pictures for food descriptions but just expect a fabulous experience.

Incredible service, incredible food. Great martinis. Live scallops every way possible. It stands to reason why this family of restaurants is so successful. I'll definitely return.

My husband and I have been traveling around Colorado lately trying to find good Japanese food. A friend of ours told us to go here because it would be great service, and a nice experience. The limited options weren't really the best option to me, but overall I'd come here again. Loving the Denver Japanese food scene!

Beautifully crafted dishes with the freshest and highest quality ingredients. Simply the best food, staff, and environment. Always excited to come back!

The sushi's are out of the world. Very delicious food. Best Japanese food in town. They have wide range of sake too.

Great ambience. A place I always come to eat. Fresh seafood and sauces. Excellent service and sake.
