Matsuhisa Aspen Reviews
Fun night out with our group of 8.
Excellent wait staff and the rounds of drinks and food did not disappoint. I wish I wasn't so full I would have ordered dessert. The limestone lettuce with cod is a must! Nobu crispy rice with tuna is also another fun appetizer. Best shishito peppers ever. The tempura was the lightest I have ever had along with the sushi. We ordered so many rolls I lost count. The Gardener from the cocktail menu was surprisingly refreshing. This is a must visit.
Just finished a dinner at Matsuhisa and I hate to say I am
Just finished a dinner at Matsuhisa and I hate to say I am way less than impressed. Our waiter was fine but pretty flakey. We had to ask three times for our Yellowtail Sashimi order and the rolls over all were mid for how much you're paying and what you're expecting. It is definitely a scene and that's why people go but there are far better sushi spots in town. Icing on the cake way the $100 worth of food we didn't order "accidentally" tacked onto our bill. VERY suspect. Glad we checked. Don't think I'll return!
Always incredible food and service when you're able to get
Always incredible food and service when you're able to get seated! I'm pretty basic with our orders but this last time we did try a dessert that had coconut ice cream and cocunut I'm the cake and it was phenomenal!
Delicious sushi and rock shrimp app.
Even a puking kid one table over didn't ruin the experience.
Is this what heaven is? Wow how can I express the perfect
Is this what heaven is? Wow how can I express the perfect meal. Came here with my daughter and trusted the waiter to bring us the best on the menu, it was the best sushi I have ever had in my life! We sat at a larger table and a band playing at Belly Up later that evening was sitting next to us they ended up getting everything we ordered and comped us ticket for that evening. Food was spectacular, drinks were fabulous and the ambiance was the coolest (Prince Harry was there). If you can get a table do it! You will not be disappointed .
Really excellent Sommelier! Great wine list .
Amazing food .Perfect spot for a wonderful evening .Pricey but you get what you pay for so it's worth it !
Incredible restaurant 5 star.
Ali was our server and she was incredible came in didn't have our reservation asked us if we could be out in an hour and a half we said yes and had a beautiful experience highly recommend this place
I will say the food was excellent five stars all the way.
Service was very good. Our waiter was very attentive. The drink, however from the bar is probably one of the worst Moscow mule's I have ever had in my life. I would come here for the food, but I would not come here to sit at the bar and have a drink.
Rushed loud unfriendly
Disappointing. Food quality was good but atmosphere was more like a club. Music too loud. Felt like we were rushed to eat up and pay the check and get out. Not a place for a couple. Full of large groups. Zero atmosphere. Expensive. Very disappointing. Been to this restaurant before on many occasions but will not be returning.
Amazing sushi.
An Aspen classic place to eat. Nobu Matsuhisa sushi is excellent. It's one of the top end places here in town.
Poor quality sushi
The cooked and composed dishes were ok. I would stick with those if I ever returned. The sushi was very poor. We had 10 different pieces of nigiri. At best it lacked flavor. The uni was disgusting. The rice was over cooked and cold. The restaurant is large and crowded, lacking any sort of intimacy. The meal cost close to $600 for 2. I would have preferred sushi from a grocery store. We have been to Matsuhisa at other locations a few times and we have never had a poor experience. We talked to the manager about our poor experience with the sushi and he implied it was our fault for not talking to him prior to finishing the sushi. I guess I foolishly thought that with each successive different piece of fish, the quality might improve, however it is the opposite of that which proved to be true. Needless to say, we will not be returning.
This is a review about the INTEGRITY of The Owner and CHEF
This is a review about the INTEGRITY of The Owner and CHEF Nobu Matsu. We came in one afternoon while staying in Aspen (aka not a local) and had a very expensive Omaksa lunch. I went to the restroom and my darling husband paid the check. As a surprise to me he asked Chef Matsu if he sold his chef coats (they were yellow at the time and I collect chef coats) and Matsu said he did and would be very happy to get us one. My husband gave him a $100 and Matsu took our address (therefore he knew we were not LOCALS) and promised when he ordered them he would get me one and send it to us. Well we left Aspen and the hubby waited and after a couple months we started to call and inquire where the coat was. We spoke with Matsu each time and he acknowledged he knew it was us but he never had the shirts come in... so now he lied too. This went on for several months, perhaps six or seven calls and a year's time passed and we finally gave up. Incomes the internet and YELP and I have never forgotten Chef. Well Chef you know you took my money and NEVER followed through with your promise and nor did you mail my chef coat or my money back. This would make me question the integrity and honesty of this establishment on every level. Especially when Chef is the one who crafts your bill when you go to pay. And by the Way Chef Matsu I am still a size Medium in a Chef Works chef coat. And clearly I have already paid you for my coat, including shipping. Namaste
This restaurant is too expensive for it's Food quality.
Everything is overpriced. We ordered a king crab claw tempura costs like 25 bucks when it's served We Were all shocked by the quantity of the food. Just one bite and it's gone. Also the sushi We ordered didn't taste fresh.
Yes my friends and dear readers this place is as good as
Yes my friends and dear readers this place is as good as the hype and prior reviews. The menu is varied with so many choices. Start with a miso soup and edamame and be sure to save room for the rolls. Go with at least one evening special, and try the Japanese IPA - so unique and delicious! My only issue is with the constant removing of plates and dishes -- it's as if the staff wants to turn the tables as quickly as possible. But hey how are we supposed to people watch for all the urban cowboys and cowgirls if we are rushed out? Not fair! With these prices friends - take your time and enjoy every wonderful bite. Enjoy!
Probably the best Japanese food
Make sure you book a long time in advance or know someone with connections for a reservation. It is well worth the effort. This is as good a Japanese meal that you will eat. Not cheap but delicious
The service was incredible.
Our waiter Henry was very knowledgeable and very attentive. The best dish was bluefin tuna with jalapeรฑo, as well as the wagyu. Henry recommended our wagyu to be cooked in a traditional way that was spectacular ! The maguro was too fishy tasting for my likely, as well as the spicy tuna crispy rice was underwhelming, while this is a stable for the restaurant I would have preferred to skip these dishes
Every time I'm in Aspen, dinner at MATSUHISA is a must.
Sushi is consistent so the sushi chefs.
Sorry I don't have pictures.
My phone was memory was full by this time in our trip. I know we had some really good dishes. Our server was amazing and gave us great recommendations after asking some questions about what we'd like. I tried some things I wouldn't have thought to order. The drinks were also good. It was in a basement/ downstairs. It was very busy. It wasn't what I'd expect from a Nobu restaurant. Upstairs was closed at the time. A lot of things in aspen were closed during this particular time in November during their off season. I enjoyed this place and experience.

This restaurant exceeded expectations with its delightful atmosphere, attentive service, and a diverse menu offering delicious dishes. A truly enjoyable dining experience!
Amazing!
Fantastic restaurant with great food and a welcoming atmosphere. The service is excellent, making it a top-notch spot for an enjoyable dining experience.
Excellent dinner and service
We had a fabulous dinner. The service was spot on and the food was absolutely delicious. We had so many options and tried a variety of dishes. Pleasant atmosphere that was enhanced by the warm service. We will definitely be back.
Poor
Just letting you know that my husband and I love Matsuhisa, but this time was not the case. We were celebrating our 40th anniversary and we love the chefโs experience, but we didnโt realize that Antonio thought we were going to share one versus two.We visit the one in Cherry Creek and never had this happen. First thing, my husband ordered a glass of sake which I believe he was forgotten about since I had to ask one of the servers about it half way through our service. Antonio placed our order and didnโt check back with us until he gave us our check. Everyone in between was great except for the one that gave us our dessert. He didnโt even tell us what it was. We believe it was a coconut cake and chocolate ice cream. What gave us the biggest clue that it was only one order was when he served us a lamb chop that wasnโt cut and we didnโt have utensils to cut it, so my husband and I had to bite it and sharing a miso soup was definitely weird. We were told that we had to visit the Aspen Matsuhisa, but this was not enjoyable experience.
Omakase
We had an amazing dinner and opted for the Omakase chef menu. It is well worth the price and the best dinner we had in aspen. It's 8 courses and paced well. All items we probably wouldn't have chosen ourselves, but we were very glad we left it in the Chef's hands. The sommelier also helped us pick a nice pairing wine and didn't push upsell unnecessarily. Overall a great experience!
Best meal of Food & Wine Festival Week
We love Japanese food and when in Aspen, this is the ONLY place to go. Mike P took control as our server right out of the gate. Great cocktails then strong recommendations throughout the entire meal. We turned it into a tasting menu night selecting many of Mike's spot-on favorites.
Great sushi in Aspen
This is an excellent restaurant and a favorite in Aspen. We went to celebrate a birthday that fell during our vacation, knowing from past experience it would be an ideal spot.
Spectacular food, service and ambience.
Spectacular food, service and ambience! Had omikase (tasting menu) with close friends. All 3 couples agreed it was a fabulous meal! Our server, Allie went above and beyond to provide a top experience. Both the owner and chef came to our table. Could not have asked for a better meal and evening!
Amazing cute spot! Good service.
Get new style salmon and shave ice & crispy rice cakes.
Serve Only What You Do Best
We had some fantastic items - lettuce hand rolls and salads, but a few items that I found inadequate - miso soup and oily Tempura. The waitress said that the maki rolls were not a specialty and she was right - they were fine but ... The waitress said that sashimi was the specialty, but that is not clear on the menu. I suggest eliminating menu items that are not specialties in a restaurant expected to serve the exceptional. We came for something extraordinary and left disappointed in that regard.
Amazing food and service.
Need to get the miso black cod and a saketini! All of the sushi is delicious and you can't go wrong

This restaurant is packed any night of the week in the best way. When you sit at the sushi bar you are able to see for yourself the top tier quality of the fish. The menu ranges from fresh fish to hot scallop dishes. Ambiance includes dimmed lights, medium to loud chatter, and fast paced servers.
Great sushi. Terrible ambiance. It is now a tourist trap
Great food. Awful ambiance. Iโve been wanting to go to this restaurant for a long time. Finally got reservations. When we arrived, we were placed in the basement, which was a very loud pub like atmosphere. We are also told that we needed to free up the table by 745 for the next group. Iโve never had that happen before. The food was great, but was very rushed. Our dishes were constantly taken away. The second we took our last bite. I have to say it was quite disappointed. I was looking forward to an elegant sushi, dinner, in a quiet restaurant. This is now a tourist trap. There is no attention to making the experience, a quality dining event.
Super expensive not so great tasting Japanese restaurant.
Typical of any Aspen restaurant. All gear toward tourists. Dashi was so tasteless. It is the base of all Japanese food except sushi. I do not know how Nobu let this happen
Total disappointment
What a disappointment.. we loved Matsuhisa Vail several years ago, & many Nobu locations, so we were really excited to try this one for our trusted favorites, but wow.. completely rude staff and honestly terrible food.. we donโt mind paying for quality, but this was just an overall poor experience, will not be returning & do not recommend you waste your time or money here..
Gluten Free Guy (Celiac)Nothing to write home about here.
Forgot to take other pics but got a bunch of sushi and some edamame. They forgot some stuff. Average Sushi at a premium price.

Our favorite place in Aspen! Absolutely delicious food and sake. The waiter was so helpful and walked us through the menu and helped us choose our sashimi. We can't wait to return.

Came here for dinner and was very happy to be able to get a reservation as they were booked out for a whole month it's important to book this place a month in advance. The food was very tasty and the sushi was fresh. We ordered many things, the sea urchin or uni was very sweet and tasted incredible, the Toro was buttery, the bluefin was also impeccable. The sea bream or red snapper was so good I recommend more people ordered that one. We also ordered oysters and had a lot of drinks. The lychee martini was what I ordered it was very tasty I'm pretty sure I ordered three or four.

I don't think I need to list all the reasons why this is a five star restaurant. I've eaten sushi across the world including Japan. Besides the sushi in Japan, I would consider this a top 3 sushi spot for me. I want to put it number one but I feel like I might be missing somewhere. If you're in Aspen go here, it is my favorite restaurant in Aspen. Price point is high but who cares. Refinance the house or ax your wife's Pilate memberships if you have to. Eat here and tell them some random yelp guy sent you.
Food- 5/5Service - 5/5Drinks - 4/5Ambiance - 4/5 The
Food- 5/5Service - 5/5Drinks - 4/5Ambiance - 4/5 The restaurant is located in the basement for the full menu. I don't love that there is no natural light given the beautiful scenery in the area and a cool historic house. When you walk downstairs it seems like it could be any nice sushi restaurant. The food does not disappoint. We are everything! They are great with dietary restrictions. Most things can be modified to be gluten free. The drinks were generally tasty - with the exception of the gin drink that was basically a disgusting Gin and tonic. The lychee martini is very strong here - but still tasty. Especially since covid - it seems like restaurants have had less than ideal service but this is not the case here. They are swarming with servers, table bussers, and other staff to aid in your experience.This is my second time going. I am looking forward to going next time I'm in Aspen!
I was disappointed by my experience at Matsuhisa.
My lychee martini was so ridiculously strong that even my friend who always orders dry martinis was surprised. The sushi rice was overly salty in the nigiri. Most importantly, we were shoved into a crowded basement for the meal, which certainly didn't rescue my perception of the institution.
Hands down the best Japanese on the planet.
Beautiful food with a great vibe. Be patient and wait at the bar if you can't get a reservation. The tables turn over in a timely fashion and the bar tenders are very accommodating!

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Matsuhisa Aspen at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Matsuhisa Aspen page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* ElaborateHouse74, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* ElaborateHouse74 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to ElaborateHouse74 for any questions Peter may have as ElaborateHouse74 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* ElaborateHouse74 now uses their connections at Matsuhisa Aspen to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If ElaborateHouse74 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, ElaborateHouse74 receives the $200 reward which is credited to ElaborateHouse74's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Matsuhisa Aspen!
