Sushi Bay 17 - Denver

I was truly looking forward to some quality sushi based on the perfect 4-star review but this place failed to impress me unfortunately. Online order was easy to do. And even if you choose the payment method of credit card, it does not make you pay at the time of order; you can pay for it at the time of pick-up which I thought was nice not that I didn 't want to pay for it right then. You can also pick cash pay upon pick up . For this, they are really flexible. On a holiday January 1st to be exact , not many restaurants were open so I certainly appreciated them for working hard to be open when the workers can take off and rest at home. I just needed several sushi nigiri pieces so I picked white tuna, albacore tuna, yellow tail and striped bass. Each one two pieces were $6. Not bad.... Upon arriving at the restaurant to pick it up, I was able to take a few photos outside. Parking lot west side has several spaces. I liked the wall art mural on the wall. Irasshaimase sign at the entrance was very nice. Upon entering, there was only one table seated by two men. There were a few others but they appeared to be waiting for their pickup orders. The restaurant is/was very simple but definitely clean. Quite roomy so the tables were not placed cramped together. If you walk over to the ladies room to the right of the sushi bar, you 'll notice a door that has a sign says karaoke room . The rate for an hour is $27. I wonder how roomy that is. I didn 't bother to check it. One of the guys at the sushi bar who greeted me said they were out of striped bass so he asked me to pick something else that is/was at the same price $6 so I picked salmon. My order was ready only a few minutes after he and I had conversed. When I opened the bag, all the sushi pieces were neatly lined up in a typical sushi container. They looked good at the first glance but the pieces were a pretty small. Salmon was the best tasting one out of all four. The red snapper was the most disappointing one as it was chewy and didn 't taste fresh. Mmm....I 'm not impressed... The overall experience wasn 't horrible but is this a place I 'd go back all the way from my northeast DTC home? I don 't think so.... Well, at least I tried, right? I can only give this place a 3-star review.

Ordered the spicy roll combo. I know ir is made from scraps but it tasted old and rotten, couldn't eat it. How long do you keep the old fish?. Never will order again.

This is by fav my favorite sushi spot in Denver, and I have tried a lot at this point. Their rolls are always incredible, the apps are great, I love their green salad as well. They're very flexible in letting you customize rolls if needed as well! They recently had a volcano roll as a special and it was AMAZING. They also have karaoke which is awesome and really affordable too!

I have been a frequent customer for 15 yrs. UNTIL today. We received a (FOWL) sushi roll- smelled rotten. I unfortunately took a bite before realizing. I 'm not one to complain, but we HAD to. It was THAT BAD. Upon giving the staff feedback, they told us It 's fine.. no one else has SAID ANYTHING . Are kidding me? They stood behind rotten fish, and told us to eat it. We paid full price for the disgusting food, and then ZERO service after the fact. Plenty of sushi places in Denver... I 'm sad to say that I will NEVER return to this establishment.

A pretty small but delightful establishment located on 17th street. The sushi was quite good and the service was fantastic. We were a large group and the server kept our glasses and bellies full. She always seems to come at the right time without being in our faces. The food was fantastic, all of the fish was very fresh and reasonably priced. A good selection of sashimi, sushi and house rolls. The other highlight of this place is the karaoke room in the back. Perfect for a small group who can not can not sing on key. Makes for a really fun night.
