This is our top ‘date night’ spot as the food is always amazing & the atmosphere is sophisticated & warm. It is on the pricier side so we leave this as our favorite for special occasions.

The outside looked very sketch. But we walked in anyway and glad we did. Very hopping, real good sushi. I was very surprised at the quality along with the creativity in the dishes. Salmon and Lemon roll was so refreshing and tasty. Would love more Salmon rolls on the menu, as that is my personal favorite, but it was still great sushi.

Out of the 11 orders we got two of the Japanese chicken fried rice they both had one inch half hairs. I didn’t get diarrhea so it was a plus. The sushi was wonderful, lights led curl pretty much the latest, I would recommend this place after they fire that cook. I forgot to take pictures of the wonderful hair but it’s probably cause I got a bit sick.

After driving many hours, my wife and I arrived in Durango, CO, and wanted something tasty but light for dinner. The EAST MEETS SOUTHWEST was in walking distance, so we tried it, and we were very glad we did. There were a lot of dinner options on the menu. I started with the SEAWEED SALAD and my wife chose the CUCUMBER SALAD. Then we decided to share the PAD THAI SHRIMP & CHICKEN, accompanied with a TEMPURA SHRIMP ROLL. Everything was absolutely well-seasoned and delicious, service was very efficient, prices were reasonable, and ambience was very comfortable. Highly recommended.

Absolutely the best service and food. We are visiting from Texas and wanted something good for dinner. Right from start we were greeted by our server Alec, hands down the best service from him! We have zero complaints and will most definitely make it a point to come back! If I could give 10 stars I would!

So good. We didn’t have reservations but were accommodated at the sushi bar. Great service, food and presentation. We made a point of getting reservations for a second dinner while we were in town!

I was disappointed with the sushi. It took a long time to get the food, one of the rolls didn’t come until my partner was done eating. The restaurant looked beautiful, but this experience left a bad taste in my mouth. The price of the fish for the quality was awful. The price just in general was surprising, even though I know Durango restaurants charge more.

Top choice for sushi and Asian food in Durango. Waitress was extremely friendly, attentive to our needs, flexible due to our group size and two babies. Food delivered fast, including sushi. Happy hour offers great deals. Original sushi recipes. Great atmosphere and fun vibe. Highly recommend.

Terrible. There was no wait so we decided to eat there. Waiters were friendly. Spaces were crammed together. Ramen made my son sick while he was eating it – he could only eat a few bites. Pad Thai was sour and terrible. The best thing we ordered was a poke bowl and it was okay. Rainbow roll was grocery store quality. 130 dollars later for 4 people, and I will never eat there again.
