Bamboo Sushi

Wed, 03 Aug 2016 10:51:01 -0600

When Bamboo Sushi first landed in Denver from Portland, it operated out of a stall at Avanti Food & Beverage, giving the city a tantalizing taste of its sushi. It initially garnered praise mostly for its sustainable sourcing; Bamboo’s deep commitment to good ocean stewardship is particularly admirable in a category that relies heavily on […]

Banzai Sushi

Wed, 17 Sep 2014 01:42:42 -0600

There’s not much atmosphere here, but the sushi’s fresh, so skip the cooked dishes and eat it raw. And be sure to peruse the menu, because reading the names of Banzai’s innovative rolls is half the fun. With dishes like the Chernobyl, the Shake-N-Bake, the ever-popular Drum Roll, and both the Tighty Whitey and the […]

Benihana

Wed, 17 Sep 2014 03:35:16 -0600

Benihana is the Barnum & Bailey of Japanese food, an unabashedly corny and often embarrassing centerfold of eye-rolling wisecracks, theatrics and occasional mishaps from the knife-wielding teppenyaki chefs who elevate (some would say disintegrate) food into an entertainment form. But guess what? The food here is nothing to sneer at, and the fried rice – […]

Blue Moon Asian Grill and Sushi Bar

Wed, 17 Sep 2014 02:40:18 -0600

Blue Moon is rather pretty in a recycled way. The A-frame structure gives the place a pagoda feel that’s ideal for a roster of Asian dishes: Chinese egg rolls, Vietnamese spring rolls and Thai summer rolls, edamame and lo mein, Thai curries, kung pao chicken, lettuce wraps and beef in Sriracha. Everything is made fresh […]

Cherry Hills Sushi Co.

Mon, 28 Dec 2015 12:13:39 -0700

The menu at Cherry Hills Sushi Co. almost seems to be missing a page or two, so short and focused is chef Bradford Kim’s roster of hand-rolled temaki and meticulous sashimi. But therein lies the brilliance of the austere little sushi bar: Perfection is captured through simplicity. A pour of rainwater-clear sake alongside a series […]

Fontana Sushi

Fontana Sushi, a Washington Park staple, has been serving tasty sushi in a laid-back dining room since 1999. In addition to sushi and sashimi, diners can also pick up entrees such as chicken curry rice and tonkatsu ramen.

Brothers Quiang and Sky Chen own this Fontana Sushi, the only link in a chain otherwise belonging to Kevin Lin. Wanting a place where they could offer both the authentic Japanese gyoza, soba, katsu and tempura that form the street-food backbone of their native cuisine as well as a spread of Tokyo new-wave dishes, the […]

Go Fish

Wed, 17 Sep 2014 03:54:20 -0600

Go Fish is an outgrowth of the Spicy Basil a couple of doors down, which means you can now get Thai-Chinese on one corner, Japanese-American on the other. This is a simple and uncomplicated sushi bar and Japanese restaurant for neighbors, for anyone looking for a little miso soup, a couple of handrolls and a […]
