The Blue Fish Denver

"New spot open at 16th & Wewatta downtown — and I’m always happy to have more sushi around! It’s hard with competition like Blue Sushi Sake Grill just a few blocks away — but here’s how I think they stack up. I wish there were more fish/sashimi items on happy hour here (not just the tower and the basic rolls) — but I also really like the quality of the fish here and availability of things like toro (tuna belly) and yellowtail belly — neither of which Blue Sushi has. The chef’s choice sashimi is a little pricy at $50, but the mega lobster roll is totally worth the $36 if you consider the entire lobster tail inside. Some deets and prices below… LUNCH – Mon-Fri 11am-2pm DINNER – Sun-Thu 4-10pm / Fri & Sat 4-11pm HAPPY HOUR is daily 4-6pm and includes $3 off signature cocktails, $5 hot or cold house sake, $5 Japanese draft beers, $5 house wine, 12 sushi towers (salmon and/or tuna), $5-12 hot bites, and 2 basic rolls for $18. Lunch specials include a sashimi lunch ($25), nigiri & roll combo ($20), sashimi & nigiri combo ($25), poke bowl ($22), spicy chicken or teriyaki bowl ($20), beef bulgogi bowl ($20), and chirashi bowl ($25). Some of my favorite bites I had here: yellowtail sashimi ($20), chef’s choice sashimi ($50), and mega lobster roll ($36, but that’s with a whole lobster tail in there). You also can’t go wrong ordering your favorite sushi/sashimi a la carte — and I highly recommend the toro (tuna belly) and yellowtail belly! Those aren’t cuts everyone carries. Tasty non-fish items are also available, like the kobe hot rock ($30) and wagyu roll (seared table-side, $36)."

"Ate here last night with a reservation for 10:30pm, was pretty empty by that point, but only because the place just opened so word is getting out! Everything was delicious, service was great, and I can’t wait for this place to become a Denver staple. Probably some of the best sushi I’ve had in Colorado. Looking forward to coming back"

"This location just recently opened near Union Station. I work downtown and stopped in for lunch. I was welcomed and everyone working seemed cool and nice. Pat was great! The sushi was super fresh, and the presentation was beautiful. The bar had many great cocktail options. Everything was delicious! It’s great to have a new option for lunch!"

"Just got to enjoy Blue Fish for the first time and had an excellent experience! This place had such an amazing menu! Incredible quality! Great drinks! Great service. Alan and Yana at the bar welcomed my party like family!"

"My boyfriend and I came to opening day and this is a must! It is better than Hapa and Blue sushi. The environment is great, the service was good but our waitress could have been a little more attentive. The manager also stopped at our booth to check on us, which was pretty nice. The food was extraordinary! Everything we tried was AMAZING! We had 2 of the blue fish towers (one with salmon and one with tuna). We also had the Denver roll(amazing), Korean chicken wings, and the spicy edamame(it was spicy). Parking can be a little issue, but you can park on 1601 Wewatta, and the entrance is on Chestnut place across from Davita world (paid parking). Another option can be to park at Whole Foods and purchase something for 10 bucks for 2 hr parking."
