Anthony P.

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!

Vegan poke bowl

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!!!

Tatiana G.

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!

Rachel P.

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.

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!

Tingan Z.

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).

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!

Vegan poke bowl
Shwetha B.

When did poke bowls turn so vegetarian/vegan friendly? Thanks turtle boat! The staff was extremely helpful and patient in explaining the options to us and the bowl we got at the end was fresh and tasty! The texture and flavors were impressive. I must say I was really happy with my first ever bowl of poke! Murals on the outside are pretty cool too!

My friend's order of Snack bowl from Turtle Boat.
Riza H. C.

We went here for a slightly late Saturday lunch after running some errands. We managed to find a parking spot at the back of this tiny establishment. Once we enter Turtle Boat, we are greeted promptly and straight away go to the counter to order our food aka "Chipotle" style. The staffs who handled our transactions, answered all our questions with regards to the menu. My friend opt to have the snack size ($7.99) and Izze can beverage ($1.49), while I opt for the large size bowl ($13.99) with 3 proteins and 3 different types of salads, that you can choose. As for beverage, I opt to purchase a can of Coconut Juice ($2.25) which you can get at the refrigerated section on the left wing of the Ordering Counter. In terms of the portions, its doable.. but for what you get in terms of proteins, its limited for my taste bud, hence this 3 stars painful heartfelt review. There is a water dispenser (self-service) if you want at the back of this establishment located next to the washroom and other disposable cutlery. Turtle Boat is tiny though they are kept clean at all times. There are patio seating available outside Turtle Boat itself. I finished my lunch, coz I was "starving"... But maybe due to the fact, there aren't much of variety, I just go with the flow. The service from the staffs are indeed stellar. That alone received 4 stars in my books. To return its a maybe, and I hope they can offer many more variety options that can call my name err in this case my rumbling tummy as I wrote this review.

I've had it before and enjoyed it, but the last couple times the food has been cold despite being ready within 7 minutes. Today, I was at Chop Shop the minute my order was ready, as I got a notification on my phone. I got the chicken with polenta and my husband had the chicken tenders. We got freezer burnt chicken that was wet and soggy, breading falling off, and impossible to chew like cardboard. Not to mention the polenta and Mac and cheese were cold. I understand not every experience can be perfect, however to pay a tip, restaurant service fee (that apparently doesn't go to staff because it's a separate charge), and have to pay for utensils at a quick serve restaurant just to receive small portions, cold food, and past quality ingredients is not acceptable. I would sooner go to a fast food restaurant.

The fish and chips were both fresh and the cod was perfectly flakey and not oily in the slightest. The prime dip is consistently out of this world (our go-to). While we live the level of salt, i can see how some might find it a little on the salty side. Luckily, the salt is on the bun, so easy enough to rub off if you find it too much. Mocktails are great when done right, but that is sadly not always the case. Staff are always cheerful and helpful. Thadeous is a delight and fun to talk with. It's a nice, spacious, and clean place with good natural light without being in the sun. The ambiance is well suited for a date night, going, going to the bar with friends, grabbing breakfast, or having a lunch meeting. Parking in the garage is free! Ask for validation before you're seated to save time when you're leaving. It sometimes takes a minute for someone to come and seat you, so that's a good time to stay focused on remembering to ask for validation.

The three main special stars of the salad, were not that well represented in the serving. In other words, there should have been more of these 'highlighted' portions in the salad. With that said, maybe the server, who was a pleasant guy, was light handed when it came to divvying up the showcased items. There's a 'decent' chance we might return and another, more savory salad will satisfy my palate. One last thing, when the servers are using the same gloves to move the food pans around, from the fridge, prep stations, etc...and not changing into clean gloves when they handle salad materials and food itself, that's a big turn off for me.

While yes, you do have to get a parking voucher, Flower Child will validate your parking for up to two hours, so no issue there. Upon entering, the place is completely themed to make you feel like you're in a European cafe with the decor and green clawed foot tables - so cute. The menu covers just about every need or want you might have. Vegetarian, vegan, diary-free, protein, meat, dairy, it's all there for everyone. You order at the counter and are given a number for your food to be delivered. There is no service perse and you do not have to bus your table when done. Also, Flower Child seems pretty conscientious about reducing waste so all their silverware is actual silverware as are their plates. I appreciate this. I ordered the black bean falafel wrap for my meal. It was incredible. The black bean falafel was perfectly cooked, the wrap/pita was delicious as it was perfectly warmed, the avocado hummus was to die for, and the taziki was freshly made to perfection. This came with a side salad, but I wanted to try one of their sides, so went with their red chilli sweet potatoes. OMG! So, so good. I could eat those for every meal!

Totally OK, but the condescending tone is unnecessary. Again, first visit here and I was in a rush- it should be standard at the register to share that information; where to go, what to get. Second visit, I brought my colleagues and manager. Again, this information was not shared but luckily I was there to just get them what they needed. No big deal! But the food came out at different times and most of us felt uncomfortable eating food unless the entire table had theirs. Third time and here I am writing a review. I waited for my food as multiple people got served prior to me. I tried smiling and waving to someone who was delivering the food, and she was clearly avoiding me. She even checked in on everyone around me... On top of that, they seem well trained at removing the table number once the food has been served. My table number remained up for 25 minutes. I purchased an entree, drink, and a cookie- really trying to support the business here despite the lack of mind for the consumer. Not until another woman who seemed to have the outside coverage passed by was I able to get to share my issue. The manager came and offered me an additional side or dessert but my meal came with two sides and I had already purchased a cookie. He explained that the issue was because my order was pushed as completed but that does not cover the fact my table number was up the entire time and the other service members completely ignoring me. I am at Cherry Creek for work every other week and wanted this place to be my go-to for meals but 3/3 visits of service being subpar- I've got to move on! I audit service for work and understand I can't make judgment from the first two visits. This third one solidified it! I am not comfortable at Flower Child. 3 stars for 3 underwhelming experiences.
