Amu - Boulder

I love the atmosphere of this little place. It felt like I was back in the 90's. Our waitress was very friendly and helpful. I really wanted to try the ramen but it is only made on Monday. The waitress recommended the udon and it was amazing! I couldn't believe how good the broth was. The noodles and egg were cooked perfectly. The sushi I got was pretty good but not amazing. I was excited to try the yuzu margarita and it was good but a little pricey.

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

A must visit dining experience in Boulder. It's expensive, but worth it. I personally prefer to order Omakase where the server will pick the dishes for you. They take your dietary needs and preferences into consideration, and you get to try dishes you may not have picked for yourself.

The atmosphere and decor are absolutely perfect. The food and drinks were excellent quality. The staff were very friendly with our group. I can definitely see myself returning to this restaurant whenever I am in Boulder.

Izakaya is a style of Japanese dining, and this restaurant executes it perfectly. The atmosphere is primarily that of a bar, with only one or two table settings. The space is small and cozy, with a casual vibe. The service is excellent and the food and drinks are even better. The staff greets you in Japanese, adding to the authentic experience. Some previous pictures of the interior may not be accurate, so it's best to search online for a true sense of the vibe. Overall, Izakaya is a must-visit spot for Japanese cuisine enthusiasts. Just remember to take off your shoes before entering.
