Our experience at Kazahana was absolutely fantastic and has officially made it our favorite sushi…read morespot in Telluride. As newcomers to town from Los Angeles, we have high standards for sushi and service--and Kazahana exceeded them on every level. The atmosphere is cozy yet polished, striking the perfect balance between warm and professional. It feels intimate without being stuffy, and relaxed while still clearly serious about quality. A huge highlight of the night was our charming bartender, Ivonne from Argentina. She made the best whiskey sour I've ever had--perfectly balanced and unforgettable. Ivonne also introduced us to some truly high-quality sake, and it was clear she really knows her craft. Her knowledge, confidence, and friendly personality elevated the entire experience. The food was exceptional. We enjoyed the gazpacho, which was refreshing and beautifully prepared, along with the umi (sea urchin) and hamachi sashimi--all incredibly fresh, clean, and expertly presented. Every bite confirmed we were somewhere special. We feel so lucky to have found Kazahana so soon after moving to Telluride. It's rare to find a place that nails atmosphere, drinks, service, and food so effortlessly. We'll absolutely be regulars and can't wait to come back again soon.

When I asked our waitress for help, she wasn't very helpful, which made it more frustrating. The sushi itself was good, but nothing particularly memorable. We sat at the sushi bar, and one of the chefs created a custom roll for us, which was a fun touch. We also ordered the dessert box, it was okay, and the drinks were decent. The ambiance inside was cute, but overall, I'm not sure I'd come back. The food was just fine, and the service wasn't very helpful. We also tried calling ahead to let them know we were running a few minutes late, but couldn't get anyone on the phone.

My husband and I shared: - Grilled Brisket Nigiri - Buttermilk Chicken Rice Bowl - Pork on Pork Ramen - Raw Berry Bar All of the savory items were fantastic. The nigiri and rice bowl were my favorites. The chicken was so crispy and I loved the sauce. The ramen was also very good. I loved the BBQ twist on it. I personally didn't love the raw berry bar. I was hoping for more passion fruit flavor, but it wasn't as flavorful as passion fruit typically is. My only complaint is that the service was very bad. We were the only ones there and the waiter was ignoring us watching TV. If I'm in Telluride for dinner again, I would absolutely come back here.

My fave is the Dynamite Roll (shrimp tempura, cream cheese topped with jalapeno, sriracha, masago, spicy mayo and eel sauce)...seriously...it's DYN-A-MITE!!!! Always get the edamame...reg or spicy (prefer the spicy but both are good!). Recently ordered the chicken fried rice and it was so delicious! The wine makes us happy because they provide a generous pour for your money unlike many other local restaurants. Bottom line, the food is fresh and incredible...service is always impeccable! But the real 5+ stars about Hiro is all about the owners and staff. They are professional and kind (with a lovely touch of humor) and ALWAYS make you feel like you're an extension of their family. Sometimes hero's don't always wear capes, because the real Hiro's here lie within the strong bond and passion this family has for their restaurant. You know how much I love to support local businesses and this is no exception...Howard and his wife Dewi offer a unique and quintessential restaurant that is much needed in our community. Highly recommend so be sure to Check them out!

From the outside, saw a few people eating under a large covered patio shared used by multiple restaurants. Only saw a few people on the inside of this tiny restaurant.. Before decided to go in, was thinking, we are a long way from the ocean, looking at a tiny hole in the wall restaurant, serving sushi. What could possibly go wrong here.? Read the outstanding Yelp reviews and recall some of my best dining experiences have been st in the wall restaurants. Walked in and was quickly created. They have and benches and tables on one side and along table boor facing a window on the on the other side of the room.

Everything tasted fresh, well-seasoned, and thoughtfully prepared. The balance of flavors really stood out, and it was clear that care went into both the taste and the presentation of the food. My order was also prepared in a timely manner. I've eaten at many restaurants in Durango and haven't encountered this kind of undisclosed fee elsewhere. The food was delicious, but hidden fees made for a bad first impression. Overall, I'd give the service a 3/5 for the rudeness , and hidden & undisclosed fee. The meal, flavors, preparation, portion size, and wait time is a 5/5.
