Welcome to Kobe An LoHi. In addition to a full sushi and izakaya menu, our signature dish of “shabu shabu” is a traditional Japanese-style hot-pot meal.

Our "Shabu Shabu" style transports you across time and cultures to immerse you in a deliciously fresh and evocative world. Enjoy the skills of our chefs and bar staff as they complement this gastronomy of the past with quality sushi, crafted cocktails and small plates with a modern twist.

Great Italian place in Denver, with some unique twists on dishes (duck confit pasta, bison ragu). Staff was friendly and service was quick. It’s a small space, though, so reservations are definitely recommended and it can get a little noisy.

We ordered the Pro Flight of bacon and Pancake Flight, so we sampled a lot of things. Our favorites were candied bacon, nacho bacon, carrot cake pancake, and s’mores pancake. I also got the Red Eye Bloody Mary flight which was a little spicy to me, interesting combinations but overall flavors were terrific. The bartender was fantastic and very kind, it was a pleasure “hanging out” with her. Everything here was amazing!
