Was Cody Smith at Izakaya Amu a mag?
They really do a great job at creating an authentic sushi experience. No shoes, tips for proper dining, etc. not for the beginner but “legit af” as the kids say View all feedback.

What Tom Crabtree dislikes about Izakaya Amu:
We visited as a family of four, and our meal took two hours to be served. The service was very slow. The table next to us even had to request their food to go because they were running late. The server was clearly overwhelmed and doing her best, so I don’t hold it against her. However, the manager definitely needs to hire more staff. The food was delicious, but don’t come if you’re very hungry! View all feedback.

I really enjoy the traditional Japanese Izakaya atmosphere, especially having to take off my shoes in the main area of the restaurant! I definitely miss my favorite Izakaya spot in San Jose.

Amu offers the finest Japanese cuisine in Boulder. The tempura dishes are delicious and the fresh sashimi will make your dinner truly fantastic. It is the best Japanese restaurant in town.

Freshest and best sashimi in Boulder. Try the chef’s sake recs. Dish arrangement is simplistic but pretty. The chopsticks are so high quality even though they’re single usage. Be prepared to drop $150 on a single meal, but definitely THE place to go
