    We expected better. Food was overpriced for the quality and service was just okay. We were sat at an awkward two top table that was right in the way of people entering and exiting the downstairs area. The downstairs was also very bright and loud. Prices were equal to other high end sushi spots in ski towns, but experience was very much lacking.

    We so enjoy Kazahana when we're in town. This Christmas we went twice in two weeks. The food is fresh, excellent and the service consistently good. Never disappoints.

    Outstanding experience all around - one of the best meals we have had. We travel quite a bit and are foodies. The Omakase was superb!

    Great little place for really good sushi in Telluride. Happy hour from 5-6 is a great value. Place gets busy so make reservations beforehand if possible.
