    the set up is beautiful. they have the raw bar upstairs and a bar area downstairs. plenty of seating. parking is a nightmare but that’s most of denver. they were on happy hour when me and a friend showed up - half off rolls and some appetizer/ drink specials. was not impressed by the quality of the rolls. edamame was ice cold. i was hungry after leaving and i hate that feeling. still somehow with happy hour i spent $80 by myself. i got 2 rolls.. wouldnt come back and wouldn’t recommend. still nothing can beat temaki den :)

    We came here for a gentleman’s bachelor party and arranged for some sushi and whiskey tasting. We received an outstanding selection and education from the GM. Our host, Antoinette, went the extra mile to customize the menu for the future groom. Many places can offer great food (as they did here) but it’s rare for a restaurant to go the extra mile to make the EXPERIENCE top notch. Food, selection, service atmosphere are all fantastic. Can’t wait to come back.

    Excellent service, excellent food, excellent place. They have the best sushi yet in the city. Taste very fresh, and not heavy on cream or some sauces. The protion was excellent as well. The price is a bit expensive, but you pay for what you got. Overall, definitely a must-try

    The food and service was really great. It is a bit pricy for some of the options but I'd love to come back during their happy hour. They accommodated our large group of 9 very well. The food did not come out all at once which was slightly annoying. But we had a great time. I appreciated that they had a lot of sushi options with cooked fish. I had the Bruce Lee roll it was fantastic. The edamame is really good too!

    The ambience and service were on point, the gyoza was the shining star of our selections. We actually left a fair share of what we ordered on the table. Huge selection of spirits and sexy ambiance on the front side of the Dairy block. Glad we tried it out but not feeling overly inspired to return.

    My mind is blown. The oysters are some of the best I’ve ever had and they’re HUGE. The flavor is there. The rainbow roll and the spider roll are delicious. This is definitely a new go-to place for me. Come eat here!!

    Good ambience, music wasn't too loud. Food orders took an exceptionally long time. Our biggest pain point was that we were seated by a side door which two separate incoming staff used to come to work. My opinion? Remove this table so your customers are not blasted with cold, snowy air. Or, ask your staff not to use this door. HUGE praise to the wait staff for going next door to buy coffee because they were out in-house. A worthwhile mention, we like this restaurant, this isn't our first visit and won't be our last.

    Amazing!! Gorgeous decor, fun music and vibes, extensive whiskey selection, high end but well priced sushi, raw bar and drinks. Karim gave us exceptional service even though they were slammed. 1/2 priced rolls @ 9pm. I highly recommend!! Dairy block rocks!!

    We had a long week in Denver. Were in the mood for some delicious sushi. Had been to a few sushi spots before, but needed something in downtown and willing to accommodate a party of 8 last minute. We hit the jackpot with Hapa. They had friendly service, a very popping ambiance and most importantly amazing food. We ordered a variety of rolls and were not disappointed with any of them. One literally melted in your mouth. Sorry - don’t remember what it was called. They have good happy hr as well. I highly recommend going here.

    An odd, up and down experience that culminated in an alright dining experience. The cocktails were nice, those were enjoyable. The karaage is fried chicken, so hard to mess up. It was nice and crispy so that was pleasant. The kimchi fried rice was straight up whack. It doesn't even look like kimchi fried rice. They either forgot the brine and/or the gochujang because it was flavourless and has no spice. The kimchi was sliced so thinly, I could barely find it. The baos were alright. Smallish portions, bun wasn't quite fluffy enough, but the garnish was refreshing. The sashimi and sushi were also good, which probably shouldn't come as a surprise since it's a sushi restaurant. But it was quite expensive to get any substantial amount of sashimi/sushi. It took us 5-10 minutes to get a table despite the capacity being less than half. But our server was great. The lighting was pink and the music was overbearing. They were kind enough to turn it down outside and did tell us the lighting was customizable and for a group of women on the upper level. Just a strange up and down experience at this joint.

The brown butter dessert >pick that one! A few people mentioned they'd be back for their next date night. Great spot! We'll be back. Oh, and that beet salad! 👌

    Terrible sushi, it's just the worst I've ever had. The rolls constantly fell apart for every single one. And the seaweed salad had a bunch of cucumbers at the bottom to make it seem fuller than what it actually is. I went for happy hour and got 4 rolls with the seaweed salad and pork gyoza and spent $55. That's a good deal, but for the sushi to be as low quality as it was makes it a horrible deal. The best part of the meal was seeing the inside of the restaurant and the expensive chandelier. And I almost forgot that they bought out 2 of our rolls, but not the other 2, so we ate seperate and not together since it took an additional 20 minutes to get the other 2 rolls. Just do yourself a favor and go somewhere else, it isn't worth the long wait times in-between service at all.

    I took my daughter here for her 18th birthday celebration as she stated that she'd like a sushi place to enjoy. Overall the selection and offerings were very solid. We got the calamari (very good) bao buns (my daughter's new favorite) and a selection of sashimi and rolls. All we're solid and good, with the house signature roll being excellent. Overall, we really enjoyed our experience, though the staff seemed to be slightly overwhelmed. I am guessing they were short staffed. Pretty good place for sushi and an excellent choice if you want offerings that go beyond the sea.

    You can dine under a 370,000 handwoven crystal chandelier at this restaurant... FOR[a]GED is a dynamic, two-level Japanese restaurant & raw bar located in Dairy Block in downtown Denver. We arrived and were seated in the main dining room. The aesthetic was sexy with the alluring sparkle of the chandelier & burgundy seating. The restaurant’s focal point resides in its astronomical goddess of a chandelier - it’s gorgeous. Owner, Meghan Gold & server, Kaitlin were both wonderful; each made sure we had everything we needed while we dined. Meghan was a firecracker with evident passion for the restaurant & her team (she was so fun). We started our night off strong with a round of cocktails. The Lycheetini was made with Wheatley vodka, lychee, seasonal fruit, lime, and simple syrup. The Lycheetini was my favorite cocktail of the night - it was refreshing and tropical with light floral notes. The Pumpkin Spice Espresso Martini was made with pumpkin spice slurry, Mr. Black Coffee liqueur, Wheatley vodka, and cold brew coffee. This martini was awesome - imagine all the delicious flavors of fall in a cocktail, and this was that. It had a rich, creamy texture and a hint of spice. The White Lotus was made with Hendricks gin, sake, pickled ginger, lime, and simple syrup. This was a fun drink with a sweet nose and a hint of citrus. The FOR[a]GED Old Fashioned was made with coffee infused Buffalo Trace, vanilla bean simple syrup, and black walnut bitters. This coffee-infused old fashioned added a jolt to the classic drink. FOR[a]GED also has a great selection of beers and sake. The Crispy Rice was made with spicy tuna, jalapeño, sweet soy, yuzu kosho aioli, and micro cilantro. This was a solid starter; the rice squares went well with the dollops of spicy ahi tuna. The Yellowtail Sashimi was made with pickled jalapeño, micro cilantro, and mushroom ponzu. This was an extremely flavorful, yet light dish. The Gyoza was made with pork, spicy balsamic tamari, and spicy mayo. There were several options of Bao Buns, and we had the Pork Belly & Soft-Shell Crab. The Pork Belly buns were served with a pineapple hoisin glaze and citrus salsa. The Soft-Shell Crab were served with a citrus aioli. We had several Signature Rolls and the presentation on each were great. The Tony Stark Roll was made with spicy tuna, jalapeño, cucumber, cream cheese, dragon crab mix, Thai-chili sauce, spicy mayo, pickled jalapeño slice, and tobiko. The pickled jalapeño slice that topped the roll had the perfect balance between spicy and sour and paired well with the rounded, salty sweetness of the tobiko. The Zilla Roll was made with shrimp tempura, avocado, cucumber, seared spicy salmon, sweet soy, spicy mayo, and chives. The Bruce Lee Roll was made with shrimp tempura, crab mix, cream cheese, minced garlic, Fresno sauce, unagi sauce, tempura crunch, scallions, and tempura fried. This roll was hearty and very savory. The FOR[a]GED Roll was made with crab mix, avocado, cucumber, escolar, blue fin tuna, sake-soy butter, garlic chips, and Thai chili-ginger sauce. The FOR[A]GED roll was creamy from the crab & avocado and the blue fin tuna that topped the roll was smooth and fresh. The Thai chili-ginger sauce added a nice little kick in spice. The Fried Rice was made with shrimp, green onions, and egg. The Tonkotsu Ramen was made with braised pork belly, charred Bok choy, kimchi, tamari soft egg, fried mushroom, and pickled onion. The ramen was characterized by a creamy soul-warming broth and all the umami & savory goodness of everything in it, from the chewy noodles to the tender pork belly. For dessert we had the Cheesecake & Lemon Creme Brulee.

    Bar staff was extremely knowledgeable in any and all whiskey choices. Provided amazing recommendations for food combinations as well as which plate would be best. Could not speak highly enough of the atmosphere and staff.

    Bad food and bad service. Ordered the sweetheart roll which was weirdly sweet and cold, very bland. Then ordered the crispy rice that was extremely hard. We let the bartender know we didn’t like our roll and he said “sorry about that.” Several grumpy employees behind the bar complaining about people walking in at 10 when they close at 10:30 yet no one checked on us in at least 15 mins, we were ready to go. The vibes were just bad, haven’t had such a poor dining experience in a while. Huge disappointment.

    Absolutely amazing food!! Service was beyond amazing! Wish they were in Texas that restaurant would have been booked with reservations. We were there for a week, everything recommended just wasn't good. If you do visit Denver or live in Colorado definitely try this place out! Worth every penny. We bought at least 8 different menu items loved them all! No photos of the food we were way to focused on eating :)

    you HAVE TO come by during their happy hour menu (4-6) the prices are a steal for the quality you get. The rolls have great flavor and the gyozas are nice and crispy on the bottom. The drinks are great too- we tried the avocado fizz and the morning dew. We came two days in a row on our vacation it was that good and we have high expectations with our sushi/ drinks. The indoor seating is elegant and comfortable. We also loved our bartender/ server!

    The cocktails were PHENOMENAL and the service was awesome. I loved the soft shell crab steam buns, and the sushi was good. Definitely would recommend for a fancy date night!

  • 5/5 Rebecca S. 10 months ago on Google
    Happy hour is where it’s at. I love the location, service and pricing. A nice casual spot for friends to enjoy some reasonably priced good food and drinks downtown. I also love the variety of sake & that they have vegan options

  • 1/5 Pedro C. 10 months ago on Google
    Good ingredients, bad execution. Very bad food. They should hire a new sushi chef with more experience to redesign recipes, in general the food is very spicy, the Tartar is imposible to eat. Service was attentive. Empty on a Saturday night.

    Came here for my birthday. Food was excellent and fresh. Try the charred octopus and old fashioned, it won’t disappoint. Our server, sam, was attentive and gave amazing recommendations. One of our favorite restaurant experiences in Denver!
