    Food, service and ambiance were very good, not exceptional and the prices were, well, expected for the location in Aspen: very pricy. But overall, a very good experience and recommended if price is no object.

    Top 5 sushi restaurants we’ve been to both in the U.S. and Europe. The service staff were extremely knowledgeable and helpful in making recommendations off the menu. The waiter went above and beyond and even brought our son dessert at no cost for his birthday. The wine list is extensive. The flavor combinations were incredible. I highly recommend dining here.
