He's a 2 but gets lunch at Turtle Boat! It doesn't get better than this, isn't just something I tell myself in the mirror to make me feel better as an affirmation but is also true about the quality of food and service here!!!

Striped bass, rainbow trout, kani and seaweed salad
Richard J.

Overall it was good. Staff was super friendly and helpful since it was our first time. Solid portion amount for the regular size but I think I personally like a good ratio of just the base and fish. I ended up getting rainbow trout and striped bass as my protein, picked a variety of vegetable toppings, yuzu vinaigrette as my sauce, added most of the aromatic and crunchy toppings, kani and seaweed salad to top it off. It was good quality fish and toppings but the sauce was really lacking that yuzu kinda punch and also would have also been nice to have a little sauce or seasoning on the rice. The sauce on my girlfriends order was really good though (spicy mayo and house sauce together)

Just plopped into town and it was the first cuisine experience for a a group of 4 -- and everyone was thrilled. Delicious! Sustainable fish -- 5 stars! Amazing toppings. Outside seating. LOVE it. Want to take this back home with me to San Francisco! Thanks Turtle Boat!

The service here cannot be beat. Patient, kind and helpful. Love that you don't have to pay extra to have all the toppings added. Just order the "full boat". Awesome options for vegan and vegetarians too. Best place in Denver to get poke!!!

As a vegan who doesn't like tofu, finding a poke place can be challenging. Turtle Boat was recommended to me as just a poke place, but when I checked out their site and learned about all their vegan options, I had to try it! Their staff was very helpful in explaining all the different vegan options and what they were made of. Every item has a respective V for vegan, GF for gluten free, and/or SF for soy free sticker next to it so you can make easy choices based on your dietary needs or preferences. The amount of food you get for the price is good! It's all high quality and fresh. The pickled ginger is amazing, all the diverse toppings work together nicely. I really enjoyed my meal, it had good heat without being overpowering and all the layers of fresh, crunchy, fermented, tangy flavors was lovely! I will definitely be back!

Fresh Fresh Fresh!

I went in hungry and confused as to why my frequented poke spot was closed at 1:00 pm. That's a common lunch hour after all! Never the matter, Turtle Boat satisfied my grumbling belly and has won my business. The seafood and veggies are noticeably fresher, and much more delectable. You guys are a treat! Thank you for all that you do, stay Clorado proud!

What a great spot! The staff was very friendly and willing to offer suggestions for good flavor combinations. The bowl ingredients was fresh and had a little kick of spice. The person preparing my dish also pointed out the sustainability of their local ingredients. I had the bass and all the mix ins. The salad was a nice break from lots of rice. Spicy edamame and a little potato salad were fun to try, too. The ambiance was hip - graffiti outside with tables for some fresh air. A few seats inside, but nothing fancy.

The best poke!!! Delicious and amazing every time. So many interesting / non traditional toppings and protein choices. They also are very thoughtful about being sustainable and local (local fish choices, local beverages, compostable bags, etc).

Large plate w/ striped bass, salmon, wasabe-mole, Korean glass noodle salad, and a little bit of all of the toppings. YUM!
Amy R.

Not only is the food STILL amazing, but I am stunned by their support of the local community amidst the Covid-19 pandemic. Today, Turtle Boat was giving out free soup to folks, no questions asked. They gave you an option on bathe order form to donate, and those proceeds are going to support nurses and hospitality/food service professionals. I know Turtle Boat's business is hurting right now too, so it really warms my heart to see them continuing to give back to the local community. Thanks for the generosity Turtle Boat! I'm so glad to have you in the neighborhood!

Amazing service and great, clean space. Happy to stop in today to support local and check this spot out for My first time. Everything tasted SO fresh and I loved the variety. The employee was friendly and suggested lots of great items. He was very knowledgeable about the sauces and helped me pick the perfect one. I'm happy I stopped in and supported this local business. This Poke is fresh and delicious. Next time I will get the bigger portion!

Salmon and Ahi on white rice
Elizabeth M.

OMG I love this place and wish it was closer to my house, but I will be going out of my way to come back again soon with friends. The ownership and staff is very friendly, helpful, and I love how they source the items they sell locally (food as well as the Kombucha they sell). The fish was fresh and they have out of the ordinary fish from the competition (the striped bass was delicious). I got the Salmon and Stripped Bass on greens with Krab and Wasabi Guac and I got my husband the Salmon and Ahi Tuna with Krab and Seaweed Salad. The topping are great, they are not stingy on what they put in their bowl, and the Siracha mayo was tasty on my greens as well. They have three sizes and we each had a medium which was a good size. I did togo, but there is a small eating area and a small amount of seating outside. Parking is available in back which is great. I will definitely be back even though it is not that convenient from my home as this local business definitely stands out from the other poke competition! Enjoy!

Penn Street Kitchen provided a lovely backdrop for our group brunch while we were visiting friends…read morein Denver. The aesthetic is absolutely perfect because it feels both classy and comfortable at the same time. Our table was ready to go well ahead of our arrival which made the start of our meal very smooth. The food was a major highlight of the experience. The Brie and Bacon toast was delicious and you really cannot beat their bottomless mimosas for a celebratory morning. We did run into a bit of a strange interaction regarding an iced tea order. One friend asked for iced tea and was told twice that they did not serve it, so she settled for a zero proof mixed drink. However, when the rest of our party arrived and someone else ordered an iced tea, the server took the order immediately. When we asked for clarification, he mentioned he was simply confused by the initial question. It was a bit of an awkward start, but my friend eventually got her tea. I guess our takeaway is to be more specific about what we mean by iced tea. Later in the meal, our server cashed us out because his shift was ending. We were still eating and finishing our drinks, and unfortunately, we were not introduced to a new server to take over. This meant we had to walk back and forth to the bar ourselves for refills or any additional orders. Aside from those specific moments, the server was actually very efficient and kind, and the rest of the staff was wonderful and accommodating. The overall quality of the food and the beautiful environment mean we will definitely make our way back in the future.

Penn Street Kitchen is in an office building across from the Swedish Medical Center and serves…read morecontemporary American food. We had large group of 10 people, which they accommodated easily without any crowding of our party or other tables. The front desk was very efficient with getting us seated, including directing others to our table they arrived. The initial table service was quick and efficient, however after the orders were taken, the service lagged considerably. Follow-up visits by our server were lacking and numerous times had to literally flag down our server for any drink refills, to-go boxes and our checks. As far as food is concerned, all the lunch meals looked fresh and delicious as they were being served. However, the Fish and Chips I ordered turned out to disappointing, due to the fish seem to have been steamed at some point and had a mushy texture rather than the firmness of a nice filet of fish. The chips served were very good, with nice crisp outside, which also was the case for the light tempura-like batter on the outside of the fish. I must admit the Reuben sandwich that another ordered looked amazing. Overall, the location of Penn Street is convenient and with the accessibility of the parking garage (Penn Street validates the 1st 2-hours of parking), is a very nice place to meet for lunch. Even with the service and my lunch meal, I would return, as all restaurants have off days of service or food, and many of the other dishes ordered looked great. Tips for your visit: If you have a large party, they use Open Table for reservations and accommodate us with separate checks. If you like people watching, ask for table by the window.

Sweetgreen's clean ingredients are what I can count on. When I was going about my triple shift over…read morethe past Saturday, this is where I chose to grab a quick bite to eat from. Not only are they clean, but they are also quick. I needed some protein to get my mid to late afternoon going. My go-to here is Shroomami but the Caramelized Garlic Steak (pictured on the menu up above) grabbed my undue attention so I went with it. A bit too salty to my liking but overall, it was a really good dish. All of my favorite such as sweet potatoes, stir-fried broccoli and cherry tomatoes are all over the plate. I asked the lady to sprinkle the crispy onion to enhance the whole taste of it. I also asked the sauce to be on the side so I can dip some of the steak pieces in it whenever I would want to. This plate itself is $16.35 which is reasonable for the size. They charged me $0.50 for the onion topping as this is/was outside of the dish's description; no worries on that. This dish is now my second go-to at Sweetgreen. I can't wait to try other dishes. Next time, I will probably go with the chicken one. Looking forward to it!

Love sweet greens! And would give it a 5/5 however! They are so inconsistent in portions! It's so…read moredisappointing because every time I order I'm crossing my fingers they won't skimp out on the choice of protein. Unfortunately, most times, I get skimped more than not. (Which is very underwhelming because even with a "not so skimpy portion, it's still not alot). The workers there are always very friendly and have no complaints there. This location is always very clean and well presented.
