More information on Sushi Zanmai

Boulder is a hot spot for great sushi: Zanmai is a go-to stalwart but faces stiff competition from a number of like-minded upstarts. We still prefer the place for its festive atmosphere, impeccable service, and traditional sushi. Prepared while you watch -- at the sushi bar or tableside -- the options include everything from tuna and trout to sea urchin and octopus, with such exotic rolls as Colorado (raw filet mignon), Z-No. 9 (shrimp tempura, avocado, salmon, and eel sauce), and LSD (lettuce shrimp deluxe). There are lunch specials as well as sushi happy-hour specials during lunch and dinner. Karaoke singalong takes place every Saturday from 10pm to midnight. Under the same ownership next door is Amu (tel. 303/440-0807), a traditional sake bar with its own menu of artfully prepared sashimi and other Japanese staples. Amu, which translates approximately to "everything/nothing," requires patrons to leave their shoes at the door. Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.
