We had a great meal closing night at izakaya cabin! The vibe is really fun and lovely and they serve more modern sushi rolls! If you're looking for nigiri and omakase this isn't the spot but if you're looking for fun, creative, flavorful roles it's perfect! We enjoyed every bite. We sat at the sushi bar at has quick service and the staff was fun to chat with! read more

This was probably the closest spot in town to grab ramen after a day on the slopes. They only serve ramen from 4:30-5:30pm, which felt a bit odd, especially in winter when it's such a perfect post-ski meal. The sushi was good, but in my opinion, not quite worth the price. The ramen itself was average. The broth lacked the deep, rich flavor you'd expect from a long-simmered stock, which may be due to their short service window. The egg also wasn't prepared in the traditional ramen style, which was a little disappointing as it was an additional cost. One highlight was the iPad ordering system, it was super easy to navigate and honestly one of the best parts of the experience. Being able to order and request the bill without waiting made everything feel simple and efficient. The mochi dessert showed a variety of flavors in the photo, but when it arrived they were all vanilla. I wish we'd been given a heads-up about that. That said, the staff were really welcoming and knowledgeable. They made sure we had an endless supply of wasabi and ginger, which was thoughtful, and we definitely felt well taken care of. Ryan was a standout bartender and made sitting at the bar more enjoyable. read more

Great food with creative dishes; great service and ambiance. For such a nice place I would hope for cloth napkins to save on paper waste. read more

We had a great experience here the other night. We snagged a couple of bar seats right around 4:30, to take advantage of the 4:30-5:30 happy hour. This place is super cute inside - it has a mountain cabin feel, with an Asian flair. The bartenders were great, and very friendly. Ordering was a very fun, unique experience - it's all done through a tablet. Loved that the tablet had descriptions, as well as photos, of the food and beverages. Once submitted, our drinks came out very quickly, and the food followed shortly after that. We started with the hamachi carpaccio - yellowtail sashimi, serrano pepper, micro greens, jalapeño oil and yuzu ponzu - delicious! Then we had the chicken potstickers which came in a really delicious soy/mayo sauce. From there - we had three more rolls - two of which were specialty rolls with shrimp in them (one of them was hair of the dog) - it was delicious with strings of shredded California crab on the outside, shrimp tempura and avocado on the inside, spicy mayo and soy - super flavorful, largely portioned, and delicious. Drinks were great - I started with the margarita, then moved to sake. We will absolutely be back to explore more of the menu - and excited to check it out in a Monday for their ramen menu! read more

Wow. I wish I had taken some pictures, but was too busy enjoying the food after a day of skiing. Warm sake hit the spot, along with their phenomenal miso soup, before the most tender tuna nigiri I have ever had. We tried a couple of specialty rolls that were amazing. The new mexican gunslinger had green chile and shrimp tempura, absolutely brilliant. And then the chile crisp on the CB with salmon on top was one of the best rolls I have ever had. The chile crisp slaps! I can't wait to come again the next time I come to Crested Butte. read more

Solid experience. We came on a Thurs night around 6:30PM and were able to grab the last table outside. There was a little sticker shock on the price of the rolls....but also acknowledged the challenges of serving fresh food in CB. We ordered Edaname ($8), Red Lady ($32), Mt Yotei ($32), Izakaya Tiger ($32) and the Handlebar ($24)....and the everyone raved about the non sushi Handlebar as the top roll with the Izakaya Tiger as the second favorite rolls. Ordering everything off the tablets is convenient and seemed to work out well. Service was friendly (when we had interactions). read more

Delicious sushi in downtown Crested Butte. My favorite thing about this place is the friendliness of the staff. Everyone was so warm and welcoming, which made it an enjoyable dining experience. We went for happy hour, which is 4-5 pm every day. Seriously great deals. $10 sushi rolls. Happy hour sake, wine and beer. $5-10 appetizers, including potstickers, cucumber salad and tempura shrimp. Would definitely be back for the happy hour deals! read more

Great happy hour prices and service has always been wonderful. Sushi quality can be a hit or miss. I've been here about 6 times now and 2 out of the 6 times I've had "fishy" moments. That happy hour is hard to beat though. Bring back the chicken on it read more

I've been to Crested Butte several times but never seen this restaurant before. It's tucked away just off the main street in town. I would recommend they put up Some type of signage showing where they're location. I even had a hard time finding it with the address in the GPS. I made reservations (which is a MUST) several weeks in advance and still didn't get the exact time I wanted. It ended up working out just fine. I showed up on time and was seated right away. I made reservations at the sushi bar which was great because I got to chat with the chefs and was able to see them prepare a bunch of different rolls. They're ordering system is really efficient. You order what you want on the tablet at the table and the food comes out right away. The food was soooo good I couldn't stop eating!! I just kept ordering and ordering and ordering. The Wagyu was A5 flown in from Japan. The chef did a great job preparing it too. $200 later I have no complaints. Will be back again read more

Frequent Guests! Our favorite date place in the valley! Always check reservations or call! Amazing crew, chefs, and bartenders The food in general is amazing, sushi and appetizers are to die for! We try something new every-time we go, ever changing menu and drinks. Cant wait to try Monday Night Ramen! read more

This review is mostly regarding their happy hour. They have great prices on their drinks & food. We usually get sushi rolls ($10) & this time we got the fries & they were so good! Also a warm carafe of sake is only $5! The service is really great too, super friendly & attentive. Fridays is "Aloha Friday" & if you wear something Hawaiian you get something free on happy hour but I don't remember what. And I think happy hour only applies to sitting in the bar area. We like sitting at the bar, the chairs are comfortable & I'm thinking the service is quicker there too. Enjoy! read more

Ryan is awesome. This place is a nice change from what we usually expect at a Japanese restaurant and they pull it off so well. We felt very well taken care of and the food was incredible. I have never had a roll like the Korean Cowboy but the execution was flawless. Not too expensive either, the ambience was super fun and the attention to detail definitely drew us in. Thanks again Ryan! read more

First of all, I love crested Butte, so I'm always on the look out for some good food here. I have some favorite spots and Izakaya Cabin is now one of them! I loved the space- super vibrant with gorgeous art. The tables had a wood panel in the middle to elevate the food and make it easier to share, so really loved the attention to detail. Our server was so next level. He was so engaged and interactive and really offered guidance with the menu. The food was unreal. I'm a sucker for dumplings and cucumber salad and I was so pleased with their sauces and seasonings on both! We got nigiri as well, but our rolls were the stand out. We got a surf and turf roll and the golden dragon roll! The broiled eel on top was so crispy and sweet. Will absolutely be back whenever I'm in town! read more

So, so good. Get the cocktail sampler and the lychee martini. Every thing we tried on the menu was fantastic. The walu melts in your mouth. The servers/chefs were super busy but took time to chat and were very personable. You can tell they love where they works. So nice we went twice, first night for dinner, next night for happy hour. read more

Izakaya Cabin is a lovely sushi spot in town. As such, it gets busy. So make your reservation early (online only). And don't forget to join their rewards club to accrue points for free food and drinks! My favorite tip is to sit at the bar. Ask for Ryan. He's one of their bartenders and you'll be in great hands. They stock an incredible array of Japanese whiskey's. Try the Nikka Coffey Japanese Walt Whiskey. You won't regret it. Oh, and the fish? I've been told it's flown in twice a week. So always fresh, even in these remote mountains. read more

Five stars all around, was second time here, food and drinks were excellent both times. The staff are great, and they have solid happy hour deals. We sat at the bar this last time, Ryan is top notch bar tender, we'll for sure be back! read more

This place is so cute! The bartender who also seems to be a server was wonderful. He brought us water while we waited bc we got there early. The food comes out really fast. So pace yourself when ordering. Everything we got was awesome. I was skeptical to get sushi in a mountain town but I shouldn't have been. This place is worth the money we spent. read more

We went for dinner Monday night, we had their ramen, fries and gyoza. Food was delicious and ambience was great. Waiters were awesome and very attentive. Highly recommend. read more

Wow delicious!! We had a group of 7 and got a bunch of different apps that were all really good (some not pictured) the seaweed salad & potstickers were my fav. The red lady roll was really tasty and tasted really fresh. Great service! read more

What a surprisingly great place! Sometimes I'm cynical of sushi in a very landlocked place but Izakaya Cabin completely nails it. The location is awesome, right on the main drag. Super cool little building that really does feel like a cabin. Came here with a couple buddies, we got the 'Ninja' omakase service and everything was really really good. There were a lot of highlights but the fried rice appetizer was fantastic as were each of the rolls. Don't miss the Pablo Escolar roll, it was definitely a highlight. The service was great, they were very attentive and all the staff certainly worked as a team to ensure that everything was taken care of quickly. We will definitely be back, place was killer! read more

Great food and a really cool atmosphere. The sushi was amazing and the service was very, very good. The tuna tartare appetizer was one of my favorite items. However, we tried 3 appetizers and a main course and they were all good. We will definitely be back soon! I'd recommend a reservation as we were here in late October which is a slower time in CB, but the restaurant was still very busy. read more

This place was INCREDIBLE. Cannot recommend this place enough for locals or tourists. We came here for my boyfriends birthday and had an absolute blast. They utilize the ipad system to order which is great- but be careful it is pricey here and your bill can add up as you continue to order. For cocktails we got sauv blanc, mai tai, and hot sake. All classics you can't go wrong. We started with the spicy edamame- probably one of the spiciest edamame's I have had ever. Not for the faint of heart. We also got salmon sashimi followed by a cucumber maki. For rolls we got the surf and turf and sweet potato rolls. The sweet potato roll was unbelievable, every bite was a new flavor. Some of the best rolls I have ever had in my life 10/10 recommend. We sat at the sushi bar and this was fantastic. Service was good and everyone was so friendly. We will definitely be back! read more

Another great night at Izakaya! Our second time dining here, and plan on making it to happy hour regularly from now on. Sat at the bar this time, which was a whole different, but fun experience. Ryan gave us lots of great recommendations for drinks and food. He was very knowledgeable of the huge variety of Japanese liquors they stock. Ryan was a big part of us having an enjoyable evening. All the ingredients were very fresh, and nice presentation. Loved all the dishes, but the Hair of the Dog sushi roll was my favorite at this visit. read more

We had a family reunion dinner here and although it was crazy expensive, it was perfect! The server was helpful and responsive. The food was delicious- we are kind of sushi snobs and agreed this was some of the best we have ever had! They also offered some delightful saki- none of us had ever liked saki in the past but we are now big fans. Who would expect that from a restaurant in the middle of the mountains? The decor is lovely and hip...we sat upstairs but they have a wonderful patio and often feature live music. If you were thinking you could only eat steaks and Rocky Mountain oysters in Crested Butte, think again and visit Isakaya Cabin. Highly recommend. read more

What a treat! A friend and I did the happy hour special (plus some extras!) on the patio last week. Beautiful afternoon with live musicians playing. Every bite was delicious! The sever was helpful and friendly. Overall, this was a great meal and great experience. I highly recommend it! read more

Izakaya is a somewhat newer addition to downtown CB. I highly recommend stopping by for the happy hour discounts. In the warmer months, their outdoor patio is a comfortable addition that sometimes features live music. You order using an iPad at your table. I found this a little odd, but not off-putting. The food and drinks are very good, particularly for the happy hour price point. read more

Wow. Words can't describe how good this sushi was. I've eaten sushi countless times but this is by far the best I've had. I ordered the red lady roll and the spicy tuna roll and they did not disappoint. read more

Just got back from a trip to CB. I wish I had gotten to this place sooner. Went in on a Wednesday night around 6 pm and got our group of 9 in right away into the bar area. The sushi bar and upstairs are by reservation from what I was told. We liked the iPad ordering. Before it got real busy, we would have our drinks and sushi orders within a couple of minutes and it was still reasonably quick as it got busier. We liked that we could order additional rolls and drinks as we wanted and the servers all seemed to work well together to get us our order. We shared several rolls- Red Lady, CB Monster, Barcelona and the Shaggy Dog(for a couple that prefer tempura rolls). We also had the toro, maguro and hamachi from the sashimi menu. I may be forgetting a few items because we ate quite a bit. It was all great. My daughter said it was her favorite meal we had in CB and was the best sushi she has ever had. Two of the friends that ate, both said it was better than Lil's, the old sushi spot in the same location. Me and a buddy dropped in the next night before our dinner down the street with the wives and kids and shared more sashimi and the tuna tartare. The place is THAT good! read more

The only sushi spot in town, and I wouldn't have it any other way. Trust me on this: get the karaage chicken. The rolls are unique and delicious. They have walu (escolar) which is my absolute favorite sashimi. Everything is fresh, delicious and well-paced. The bartender is the sh*t. Very attentive and talented mixologist for sure. read more

Awesome sushi bar with friendly bartenders. Great HH specials and delicious sushi and other bites. We never ventured upstairs where they have more seating, but HH at the bar was so enjoyable that we hit it 2 or 3 times during our week in CB. Would love to go back for a proper sushi dinner at a table. Seems like a place that would also be a blast for a bigger group (i.e., there are some fun jumbo alcohol options). read more

After being expelled, or should I say in today's parlance "Cancelled," our party was very arrogantly Kicked Out by the chef/manager, John Leonardi , of Crested Butte's "French/ American" SOUPÇON* restaurant, we alighted on the Fabulous IZAKAYA CABIN, in which we received a warm welcome & the most creative, mouth-watering meal of superlative high Japanese cuisine any of us could remember. One Delicious plate after another arrived at the table, served with enthusiastic professionalism & convivial expertise. When visiting Crested Butte, one should bypass the bumptious conduct of the "French-American" chef, Mr. Leonardi & his staff at SOUPÇON for the more affable & divine dining experience of IZAKAYA CABIN. *For more thoughts and an explanation that unfolded at SOUPÇON, resulting in l'expérience très désagréabe, please feel free to have a look. read more
