    One of the best sushi places in town tucked away from downtown as you're headed up to ski sunlight. Reasonable prices $$$ with an all you can eat sushi menu on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Lounge in the comfy seated area or belly up to the bar. Definitely try the Korean style ribs. aside from the sushi this entree is an absolute game changer you'll love it!

    Tianna was a great server! For going out on valentines days last minute I wasn't sure what to expect, however the whole crew did a great job. The sushi was incredible, the miso and fried dumplings also top tier. Taking into account the wait on food on such a busy night, I have no complaints. Excellent staff, excellent food 10/10 recommend 👌

    Fresh and complete mouth watering goodness. I haven't tried a dish yet that hasn't been top notch and satisfying~! Excellent service

    Kanpai is a gem! We love the creativity, the food quality and the service is always on point. If I could give 6 stars, I would. We're just never disappointed and always look forward to Kanpai!

    May seem weird to go to a sushi restaurant right next to a gas station, but the sushi is anything but gas station sushi! Everything is very good, highly recommend the sunset roll. The drinks are amazing (we loved the ginger pear martinis) but more importantly is how friendly our waitress was. This is a family-run business, so we are happy to give our support to them. I promise you won't be disappointed!

    food is amazing and fresh, everything is out quickly. 100/10 recommend the shrimp tempura!

    Better sushi than we’ve been able to find in Fort Collins, which is surprising for a little mountain town. Excellent fish, highly recommended!

    2 of us came into the restaurant the other day on not a very busy night to eat and ordered 3 sushi rolls, we waited for about 45 minutes for these to be brought to us which is just crazy. We were later told that there was a massive order to-go for 13 rolls so we understood why it took so long for our order to come to us. When we were done eating we ordered only 2 orders of mochi ice cream. This took another 30 minutes to be given to us, we are very patient for restaurant workers because we understand that it isn’t easy, but 30 minutes for a little bit of ice cream is insane and we ended up spending 2 hours sitting there with most of it waiting for the food. This is some amazing food but service is generally lacking in terms of wait times.

    Clean, chill, friendly atmosphere and some of the best sushi I’ve eaten anywhere. I ate just about one of every Nigiri style options and every bite was fresh and buttery. A great find and definitely will be back.

    The food was really tasty and actually fair prices! The only negative I would say was the location as the restaurant is next to a gas station. I would definitely come here again!

  • 5/5 Veena J. 1 year ago on Google
    The service was amazing. The waitress was friendly and gave us helpful recommendations on the food. The food was a 10/10 for taste AND presentation. If you like sushi I highly recommend!

    Not sure what the crying is about. The ramen was good, I asked for a side of chili oil and the steamed dumplings were better the fried which my friend ordered. Plus, we both liked the sushi we ordered.

    Horrible service. Don’t waste you’re time or money here. I promise you will have a better experience up valley

  • 5/5 Gen S. 2 years ago on Google
    Great service and atmosphere, entrée was surprisingly delicious and prices are great. Sushi is top quality too. Very satisfied.

  • 2/5 Jacob B. 3 years ago on Google
    Was not happy with the all you can eat. It was very expensive considering that none of the expensive rolls were included and there was a 6 piece limit on the nigiri. When my rolls came out, they were stuffed with rice to fill space that should be used on more expensive ingredients. The tuna was lower grade and looked like cat food. All the rolls I ordered were just stuffed with rice. Was not worth the price.

    1) took 45 mins to get an order in, and i never got a bill. I just left money on the counter. :-/ 2) delicious gyoza and miso (which changes my review from 1-star to 2 star) 3) oddly wrapped roll. There was a LOT of cilantro in it, the jalapenos weren't spicy, and the salmon wasn't smoked. Each slice was a different size.

    Our waitress Ashley was very nice and attentive, the food was fantastic, and the prices were super reasonable. We were just visiting for the day from Denver, and I was very pleasantly surprised to find such good Japanese food in such a tucked away little corner of Glenwood

    I went here years ago and it wasn’t amazing. But I was driving through and decided to give it a shot. This was absolutely fantastic. I got the no name and it was amazing! The edamame was better than I’ve had at any of the nicer restaurants in the big city (didn’t even know it was possible) the miso was perfect. And I normally hate orange sauce, but the orange sauce for the vegetable egg rolls was amazing!! Worth the drive to the other end of town for sure!

    Came in as a party of three and we were welcomed by a wonderful person and wonderful food. The curry and katsu was perfect alongside a relaxing dining area. Ashley was so nice to us! Thank you so much for making my birthday a great one!
