    The food came out very slowly, we had to ask twice what was taking so long. It was more crowded than expected, but on Christmas Day they should have been prepared. Very small portions of seaweed salad, sushi was decent, they were out of the desert we wanted, the drink my husband ordered was very small. We probably won’t return.

    Service on a Sunday Night was slow, but the server was helpful & pleasant. We also weren't given the happy hour menu, and had to ask for it.

    The food was good and the service could have only been better if our waitperson had returned to our table after we received our food. But it was Friday night in Boulder with a CU event happening on the mall, so it was extremely busy. I didn’t rate it 5 because the rolls weren’t the very best I’ve ever had (in Boulder). Overall, it was good and enjoyable though and I would recommend!

    My meat was not good, very hard to chew. The rest of the food was fine.

    I am not the most knowledgeable about sushi and rely on my wife for guidance there. There is lots of variety on the Sushi Zanmai menu, and what we chose last night was great! The restaurant is a bit noisy but not excessively so, and from past experience the tables a little further from the bar are quieter. I like the ambience a lot too, it's very lively. I highly recommend Sushi Zanmai!
