Sushi Bay — Restaurant in Denver

I dropped into Sushi Bay at that sleepy hour after the lunch crowd and before the dinner rush, so I had the advantage of being one of only a few patrons. I sat in the front at a small table by the window. I'm don't appreciate wall sized TVs in restaurants that aren't sports clubs or bars, so the massive TV over the reception desk interrupted the otherwise serene feng shui of the dining room for me. However, the bay windows were a nice touch in keeping with the theme and adding a cozy element. The server was efficient and pleasant if not friendly, and made sure I had everything I needed. I'm making a special note about the napkins because they were a luxurious hybrid of paper and cloth, which I'd never run across before that elevated the experience. I chose the twister roll and baked salmon roll from a lengthy selection that included the geographically simple like the Philadelphia and California roll and vegetarian options such as cucumber and avocado roll (that came separately or rolled up together). My rolls were presented beautifully, fresh, and flavorful. The prices were what I'd expect for sushi that didn't come in plastic containers on a supermarket shelf. They also have lunch and dinner combos for solos and pairs that offer soup, appetizer, and entrées at reasonable prices that can be ordered online. Overall, this is a decent place to...

I've been going to Sushi Bay for the past 2 years. I used to really love this place and today (Friday evening) stopped in with my husband for dinner. We last ate at Sushi Bay about 6 months ago. Almost immediately, we noticed the change in atmosphere. The place was more crowded than usual, all the staff was new, with the exception of the owner. We sat at the bar as usual and watched the sushi chefs make orders. Presentation wasn't as elaborate as before when the previous sushi chef was there. The rolls are also noticeably smaller, less rice, less sashimi, smaller servings. The prices have remained the same.

The place was almost completely full and incredibly busy. The chefs were making tons of to-go orders and dine-in orders. We waited quite a while before our order was taken. My salad was drenched in ginger dressing and consisted of iceberg lettuce and two slices of tomatoes. In past experiences, the salad consisted of cherry tomatoes, carrots, and iceberg lettuce. When our rolls arrived, I was disappointed at the lack of presentation and smaller serving sizes. Don't think I'll be coming back here again, the change is a little too...

I am just learning to like Sushi, so I can't give five stars, but I really like this place. The happy hour menu is really a great value, and my wife always orders me the various tuna dishes and I love them. Get the one with the jalapeno on top in sauce. The atmosphere is great, and they even have two tv's turned on to sports if you are afraid of missing a game. Plus, you can walk down cool Tennyson Street before or after. Get a big Sappora and some Sake to wash it all down. Recommend.

Adding to review, since we went today for lunch. We had the lunch special today and it was a great deal. $15 for LOTS of food, including the sushi, salad, and soup. The servers are always so nice here, and the experience is always great. This is a cute little place located on the very fun Tennyson Street. Good stop to make if in the area. I only give it a 4 because I think they could up the atmosphere a little and perhaps have a few more specials during the week, but it is like a 4.4 and rounding down. Definitely recommend and...
