Duo is amongst the best of Denver's restaurants. There are so many great restaurants in Denver, but Duo never disappoints. They constantly update their menu and everything is delicious. They know what they're doing, and Duo has become a favorite for my wife and me.

Hapa Sushi Grill & Sake Bar - Landmark in Greenwood Village

Tech Center / Greenwood Village

About the restaurant

The name Hapa is derived from the Hawaiian term that describes a harmonious blend of Asian and American cultures. Like our name, our food reflects this dynamic combination. The menu is based on traditional Japanese cooking fundamentals which are then amplified, muted, or mixed with influences from many different styles of cooking until they are something completely new: they're Hapa. We have stretched the boundaries of creativity to develop dishes that defy all the rules while holding true to our roots. We hope you will find our menu innovative, uninhibited, and distinctly fun!

The food was very good. The service was very good. I only gave them this score because of the way we smelled when we left. We couldn’t even stand ourselves in the car. We had to shower the second we got home. 100% stinky. Super bad. I had to wash everything fast. Maybe there is zero ventilation in the restaurant? I smelled like I spent 8 hours in smash burger.

We had a book signing event going on concurrently, and that kept the servers hopping, but they did a nice job tag-teaming us, and assured that we had everything we needed. Menu is, in a word, eclectic. Picked this restaurant because we occasionally enjoy dinner as a 'grazing' event with multiple small dishes, and the Passenger delivers on that with a variety of interesting small portions.

About the restaurant

The conveyor belt dishes are anywhere from $1.5 to $4 and Chef Osaka keeps them small on purpose. That way, diners are able to try all they want without having to commit to a full roll, or breaking the bank. There’s even more options from the kitchen.

When asked about bringing the conveyor belt sushi concept to Denver, Osaka remarked that he thought it would be a great new way of dining for young, hip guests. The main issues with other conveyor belt sushi concepts have been the quality of the food and the self-service nature of the experience, and that’s no problem for Sushi-Rama on either level. We’ve got a full-service wait staff and our fish is sourced from the same places that the highest dollar sushi restaurants in Denver get their supply and is imported directly from Japan. The difference is that the high tech prep and delivery methods of Sushi-Rama allow us to keep costs down and quality up.

About the restaurant

Modern Mexican with an American twist. Barbed Wire Reef incorporates the best of classic Mexican dishes, that the brother and sister owners, Rico and Flor Aragon, grew up loving in Mexico, adapted with American taste in mind, making the menu both crave-worthy and one-of-a-kind at the same time. The design was inspired by the two’s childhood and continued extensive travels back to Mexico. Ceramic oversized tiles behind the back bar emphasize the architecture found throughout Mexico City. The lush vegetation growing inside the restaurant and throughout the patio, remind guests of a modern resort stay in Tulum. Hospitality is at the core of the brand, the mission is to create an experience you would have in Mexico, dining at someone’s home with a gracious host.
