Go Fish

Sometimes I don’t want to put pants on. Sometimes I want to rock pajamas all day! And why not nibble on sushi and sashimi and yummy rolls and edamame and miso soup in the comfort of my own home when I can have it all delivered? I can even order right from
using my fancy
iPhone app. Oh the joys of Denver in 2016. Love my city!

I saw a mouse along the wall in between the dining area and the lounge. Before I could take a photo, the mouse scurried back into a crack in the wall which I think leads to the kitchen — I’m not positive about that but nonetheless just the sight of a rodent made my boyfriend and I lose our appetites and get up and leave (our food hadn’t come yet).
I’ve dined here many times before, they have a pretty good happy hour and good service. But last night when we arrived around 11 pm (they’re open until 2 am) things seemed a little off. It wasn’t very busy but it took us a while to even get a menu, as it seemed like one of the few waitresses was at a table near ours taking shots of sake — weird. Finally after a few minutes we got our menus and waters. We had just finished ordering and I see my boyfriend staring at something behind me as my back was facing the entrance of the restaurant. He said «don’t freak out, but is that a mouse», I turned around and sure enough — a fat little mouse with a giant tail was just hanging out along the wall. Since it was late, we hadn’t got our food yet and there was no sign of our waitress we got up and left. In retrospect we probably should’ve said something but we were tired, it was late and we really just wanted some grub. I will never come back because the image of a mouse along the wall is ingrained in my brain.

Easily one of the best sushi restaurants in Denver, the presentation of the sushi/​sashimi platters blow all other sushi restaurants out of the water (in the denver area). Eat it you freak savages!

We came here with a friend who was visiting from out of town, for our first sushi experience in Denver, and let’s just say it’s not the best I’ve experienced.
Honestly, the food was good, and I would go back for that, the sake, and the vibe, but the service was horrible.
I know this was mostly due to a language barrier, but it’s pretty inexcusable. We arrived during Happy Hour, and the place was pretty empty. We were seated immediately, and that’s where it began. My friend said «Not by the door please,» and the waitress (Wing) immediately began seating us right next to the door, so we emphasized it again, and she seated us elsewhere, though we still caught a cross breeze from the outside every once in awhile.
We were barely given time to review the menu, we were only asked if we wanted appetizers, not drinks. I had to flag down our waitress so we could order beer and sake. It was also very difficult to order or get information about what things were. My friend asked what was in the yellowtail appetizer and we had to wait for another server who spoke English to come over and explain.
We also did not even get one of our appetizers until the meal was over because our server did not put the order in– yet it still appeared on our bill. Not cute.
I would come again if I was planning to drink more– the sake was good, and you get a free shot if you check in on Unilocal,and the gyoza, hot orgasm roll and miso soup were delicious!!! Just be ready for lots of things to get lost in translation.
Best of luck!

What an amazing sushi spot! By far my favorite in Denver! They have great presentation, excellent food and service. Brandon was our server tonight. He was awesome. He recommended we try the salmon and he didn’t disappoint. If you haven’t been, go check this place out.

My short review: if you love sushi, eat here!
My long review: this place is great! The service has been outstanding every time we’ve gone, going well over the top. Friendly, checking in at the right times, chatting just the right amount.
The food is amazing! My wife and I typically only order sushi at a Japanese restaurant, and theirs is insanely fresh, tasty, and prepared wonderfully. I highly recommend the mango rolls, the salmon nigiri, and my absolute favorite, the white tuna nigiri. It literally is «like butta». I’ve had white tune at every restaurant that I’ve been to that offers it, and theirs is one of the best. Thanks, of course, go to the fish as well. :)
Last time we went, my mom — who doesn’t really love sushi — ordered their lamb chops. There’s not a lot to say beyond WOAH! We all tried it and absolutely fell in love. If I could take a second wife, that lamb chop would be it.
Oh, and the presentation of the food. Can’t look that over. There’s a lot of care put into it. Beautiful every time, with items like fresh flowers, landscaping (little fences, rocks, grass, etc). I’ve gone to A LOT of sushi restaurants and there are many that do great presentation work… but not this good.
They carry Hana Saki as well. If you like Saki (I don’t, actually), you may love this cold-​served one. There are flavors such as peach that are oh-​so good and pair great with sushi.
Their desserts are pretty good. The tempura cheesecake is good, but I wouldn’t go out of my way for it. And, in all honesty, I’m usually way over full by the time desert time comes around anyway, so it’s pretty irrelevant to me and I’m not really a dessert person anyway.
I will say that it is a bit more pricy than other places, but it’s worth it. Sometimes the old adage that you get what you pay for holds true. In this case, it most certainly does.

The service was mediocre. The food was mediocre. Not worth your time or money.
THIS PLACE BLOWS I DONT HAVE ANYTHING ELSE TO SAY!
Don’t try to make up for the terrible food by giving free sake. Yeah I get it, you do it regardless. It’s a piss poor way to try and sugar coat a bad experience.

First visit left a great impression. The sushi was delicious and presented beautifully. Excellent service. Will definitely visit again!

Love this place! Andrew our server was so nice Pink Lady & Empire we’re excellent and the presentation was superb! Great atmosphere!
This will definitely be my new to go sushi restaurant while in Denver!

GREAT sushi, AWESOME service… HIGHLY recommended! Check out the Dragon Roll and Paradise roll!

Go Fish is one of my go to places for sushi when I’m in the Broadway area. Their menu isn’t too large but the sushi they have is fantastic. I always get an appetizer they have called a symphony. It’s one of my favorites. I recently went for my moms birthday and the service was incredible. It’s true that the menu is a bit pricey but the sushi is quality. You can always swing by for happy hour and enjoy the food at a lower cost. Obviously, a lot of people don’t mind the price considering I’ve had to wait to be seated.
Something else to mention is the bar next door. They have expanded their area to include a large side room which is stocked.

Let’s be honest: you know the food is good. Damn good. There are a million reviews already talking about the quality of the sushi. As a west coast kid, this spot does not disappoint. If you thought sushi couldn’t get any fresher than the coasts, you need to chill on Broadway and Ellsworth more.
Here is what I want to really talk about: THE MUSIC. For a sushi spot in the middle of the afternoon, the selection puts most of Denver’s «urban» clubs (and most clubs here in general) to shame. I probably (definitely) looked like an idiot singing and bobbing my head with a Vegas roll in my mouth, but who cares. Five stars would embarrass myself again.

This place is good. But it can get kinda pricey so the only time we go is during happy hour. It is centrally located on Broadway which is nice. I also like that they have a variety of vegetarian sushi. They have this one roll that is called the Zombie roll which is AWESOME!!!
The service here is always nice and they have a patio but during the later hours of the day like 3ish the sun is in the west so the patio gets no light from the sun there fore no heat. Just FYI. But the patio does get an awesome view for all of the awesome people watching from it that can be had here. As long as none of them palms my sushi were good.
So definitely give it a go especially if it is happy hour.

Went here for Happy Hour. Prices were slightly reduced about $ 1.50 — $ 3.50 off a large selection from the regular menu. The service was excellent. Brian was very attentive, friendly, and completely familiar with the extensive menu. The grilled squid salad was amazing — nice portion of whole large grilled squid over mixed greens with a light, I believe, citrus soy dressing. I was inspired to immediately order two more items: The tempura shrimp and Snow Mountain Roll (tempura shrimp and cucumber roll topped with a minced lobster/​crayfish salad. Both were delicious and beautifully presented. The tempura shrimp had a fine, crispy panko breading, maybe slightly oily, but delicious, while lobster crayfish topping on the mountain roll was equally tasty.
*** You have to ask for the fresh wasabi «sasa”(?) — unlike anything I have had before, made from fresh diced wasabi stems, fragrant and spicy. I had to ask for some to take home just so others could try. I look forward to returning here soon.

Why Did I not venture in earlier? I went in during Happy Hour. Started off with the Cucumber Salad. Wasnt what i was expecting but was delicious.
For Rolls I ordered the Vegas Roll and a Rainbow Roll and and a Mango Roll.
The Presentation alone means they could charge way more than they do. The prices are beyond reasonable. And the staff is friendly. From the Sushi chefs behind the bar to the servers. Salad and 3 rolls i definitely left satisfied.

Unexpected Beauty.
Way-​to-​freakin-​go! I would love to meet the chef or the decedent of Michelangelo who designed these jaw dropping creations behind the scenes. This guy deserves a raise, or at least a pat on the back but for his sake I think he would want the raise, because my hands tend to get sweaty. The speed at which these amazing sushi platters come out are nothing short of amazing. Michelangelo’s decedent must have a sweat shop of children helping him assemble these plates. If I told you to go build a dragon, 3 hours from now you would still be scratching your head. Many times we are too quick to judge greatness just by a single experience at a restaurant. These guys have it down.
Again, way-​to-​freakin-​go.

This restaurant is literally in the center of Denver on Broadway, that said parking is quite difficult. They have a few spaces in a lot shared with other businesses in the building, and metered parking in front. If you can’t find anything there, it’s going to be a walk.
Once inside, the space is bright, and there is plenty of seating. There are classic rolls as well as some very inventive custom ones, like the One Night Stand (which is excellent) and Sex on the Beach.
Personally, I hate eel sauce so many sushi places drizzle all over their rolls, and specifically asked that it be left off. Our server made a note of this, so I was surprised the chef put it on anyway as my order was placed on the counter. Our waiter caught it, and had them make another Dragon Roll, saying don’t worry, that one is mine.

Underwhelmed.
The experience started off well, with a quick greeting and being seated right away. We took some time to put in an order and make decisions on what rolls we wanted, but after that it all went downhill. We ordered 3 small rolls, and 2 of the specialty ones. I noticed that a larger group had been seated after us and they were served their food before we got ours! Grr. That upsets me. We ended up waiting an HOUR for our food. Meanwhile, the weird waiter kept coming by and asking us if we’re still doing ok with just our water, but neglected to mention when the heck our food was coming out. Had to stop him and ask him directly as he kept swooping by us back and forth.
And finally, the food came. The sushi itself, as I said, was underwhelming. Definitely not the best. The rolls were good size, but the rice was actually a bit hard. They weren’t really well made, because the sushi kept falling apart as I was trying to eat.
On top of that, the menu was full of rolls with either jalapeño or spicy sauce, very few without these options. Now, don’t get me wrong, I love my spice but neither of those were wanted in my whole sushi order. They need to be a little more creative.
The long wait for food, the menu’s selection, and the overall badly made sushi are not enough to bring me back here.

Pretty decent sushi, pretty decent service, great Happy Hour, great location makes GO FISH a GO TO in this happenin’ little block on South Broadway.
First and foremost, check in on Unilocal to get a free pineapple infused saki, which was AMAZING! Our whole table liked theirs.
This was a great choice for a group and the staff was so helpful as our group grew larger than expected.
Service was fast, food was delicious and creative. Our faves were the gyoza, the sweet potato rolls, and the bacon/​avocado roll.
Good Choice for Mayan Movie night!!!

This is a pretty solid 4 star sushi place. I come here for lunch ever so often and sometimes I’m the only one here — which is odd because you can get a steal of a deal on a bento box for just $ 8.
The staff is always super friendly and the guys working the sushi bar will even say goodbye when you get up to leave.
They also have a decent happy hour with cheaper rolls and some discounted drinks.
Thank you for filling my belly to it’s brim GF!
