Huge Disappointment
Posted by aermay on 10/17/2009
We were so disappointed in the quality of the sushi at Banzai. The rolls hide the inferior fish and the menu is very dated. Not for a sushi aficianado.

Good Sushi

Banzai is one of the best for sushi. I like to order a bunch of rolls, some miso soup and share with the whole table.

Small and Cozy
Posted by Trudyfoodie on 10/01/2009
I love this restaurant. We drive by often and there always seem to be cars outside. The shoji screens shield out everything out so we were not sure what we were going to get ourselves into but as it turns out, it is a cute quaint little Japanese style teahouse.
I love all the choices of rolls and great happy hour. $3 beer/wine/sake & appts. I like the Atomic Shrimp, spicy but a must try.
Rolls were creative, last night they were having a contest to create more new rolls. NICE!
Prices are very reasonable and portions are very nice. I also like all the Japanese Ladies that work there. It gives it a feel of being in Japan. (especially when they don't understand what you are asking them :-))

Sadly, nothing spectacular... overrated
Posted by tobicus on 02/27/2009
Average at best. Nothing great. My hubby and I went out because we love sushi and heard Banzai was the best sushi in Denver. Well, if this is the best than I am disappointed! We just moved here and would love to have a great sushi place to frequent....it is not going to be Banzai. Worst tempura we ever had. Waitress was inattentive and spacey. Highlight of the meal was the Lichee Sake that I had. Soup and salad were average at best. The sushi was fair. The fish did not have the "freshness" I was looking for and the sushi rolls lacked the "delicious" flavor combination I have come to expect from high-quality sushi. I will keep looking for my great sushi restaurant in my new home in Denver because Banzai is not it.

Worst Sushi I've Ever Had!!!
Posted by DenverFoodie2 on 02/26/2009
I am in SHOCK that people would actually give this place a 5-star and say it is the "best" in Denver. As for wyndi2000, you are obviously NOT a sushi snob since you don't even know good sushi. This place was a joke and for that matter any restaurant that has over 100 rolls is ridiculous. Seriously, just because you deep fry the roll and give it a new catchy name doesn't mean you're being creative. Everything tasted the same but of course I assume that most of these so-called sushi lovers are the kind of folks that whip up a paste of soy sauce and wasabi so they can drown out the real taste of the fish. My boyfriend and I tend to eat sashimi or if it's a good sushi restaurant just order the omakasi and we RARELY use any soy let alone huge globs of wasabi. Since we don't mask the fish, I can tell you the fish was mediocre, the service was pitiful and we have told everyone we know that this place is a joke. If you want good sushi and don't want to spend a ton go to John Holly's or even GoFish if you want high quality go to Sushi Sasa. I would give this place a negative rating but it's not allowed. I will never waste my taste buds on this place again!

Never Been There

banzai mania was the best sushi ever, even though I only experienced it in my imagination. I need to write 100 characters so i'll just keep typing.

YUMMY

I like the atmosphere, fresh sushi, love the rolls, good prices and friendly staff. I am a sushi snob from Chicago and this is my favorite sushi restaurant in Denver. Doesn't look that great from the outside - I had driven past it tons of times until I did an Internet search and got lucky!

BEST sushi and service! Any night or day of the week!
Posted by issyr on 10/05/2008
Great atmosphere, quaint, and extremely great food! Service is friendly, prompt and well maintained throughout the meal. SUSHI ROLLS are fabulous, fresh, great taste, and they have an incredibly large variety! Soups, salads, teriyaki and tempura are also wonderful. LOVE THIS PLACE!! Prices are appropriate!

Best sushi in Denver
Posted by DenverFoodie1 on 08/07/2008
I am hesitant to write this review, because I love this small place so much that I almost feel like not sharing. In short, the sushi is very fresh, large in size, and extremely flavorful. This place provides the best sushi I've had in Denver. A+

the reviews are true!
Posted by starsreachr35 on 07/22/2008
I had just moved to denver from Tampa,FL with my boyfriend and we love sushi. We didnt know where to go being new and the reviews here seemed great so we went to check it out. It was a little cozy place and we saw while sitting at the bar everyone having a great time and the owners serving the food. You get so much food for the price even a sliced up orange at the end for palette cleansing. The fish was really fresh that day and it was late afternoon. We tried the Bonsai roll and it was my boyfriends favorite. The owner came up to us after we were done and we raved to him about our meal. Thanks to citysearch we found our new place to hang out and eat healthy.
