Very attentive staff, gorgeously plated dishes, and genuinely stunning ingredient quality. The tasting menu did not disappoint, though I personally loved the salmon entree (not personally being a fan of sushi). Definitely a lovely splurge.

This place is beautiful the food was amazing and the overall quality of the sushi was a 5 star. We did the June special which is like a 4 course meal. We tried another roll (can’t remember which one) waiter’s recommendation (Rudy) and the cowboy saki. Rudi was an outstanding waiter!! I think the only request we had was to slow the courses as the plate’s started to pile up. Our roll came out with our starter which is a pet peeve for me. We will definitely be back and I highly recommend!! Wait staff was attentive.

Wow! My dad and I did the $125 Omakase at the sushi bar and it was incredible! I have access to high quality sushi as a New Yorker and I have to say this meal was just as good. Nice atmosphere, calm and pleasant experience!

We loved our experience at Kazahana! Every dish was excellent, especially the cod! We also loved the tartar and shrimp tempura. The fish was incredibly fresh. Our service was great, too! Very accommodating to us trying to get out before the 4th of July fireworks and have great recommendations on the menu. Would highly recommend a visit to this spot!

I was a little skeptical about good sushi way up in the remote mountains of Telluride. As someone who has had sushi at some of the best places in the US, I came away seriously impressed with Kazahana!

One of the best omakase experiences ever! Fish was amazing and chef Naoki was so friendly! The space is just outstandingly beautiful, a true jewel in Telluride. What a beautiful surprise it was to discover Kazahana. Chef Naoki thank you once again, you re one of the great ones!

So this is one of the more authentic feeling American sushi experiences I’ve ever had. Everything was prepared and presented with a unique cultural depth, all of the fish was light and fresh, the current sushi chef Haru actually lives in Japan, staying and working in Telluride for the restaurant. Kara our bartender was super knowledgeable with both the food and drink menus and helped navigate us through our choices with little effort. Expect to spend a little, but in this case you pay for what you get. 10/10 would and will eat here again.

Awesome sushi! This restaurant is brand new to Telluride. The head chef here, Naoki, has trained under/with world renowned sushi Chef Nobu. This restaurant is geared towards an authentic sushi experience. If you’re looking for hot sake, California Rolls, Spider Rolls, and cream cheese in your Sushi, this is NOT the place.

We were really excited to see a new restaurant in Telluride, however were extremely disappointed. For starters, we ordered 3 tofu miso soups and were given the TINEST amount (maybe 2 oz), for $9 each, what a rip-off. Then we ordered two types of sushi roles, which were underwhelming and incredibly overpriced (again, small portions). The decor inside the restaurant was lovely and the staff were friendly. I do NOT recommend this restaurant.
