Izakaya Amu Japanese Restaurant ·$$$

Amu is a small Japanese bistro and sake bar located just off of the west end of the Pearl Street Mall. Amu's location means that it is easy to get to, but just out of the way enough that it is not as busy as the rest of that popular stretch of downtown Boulder. The menu is authentic Japanese; it features sushi and sashimi and a few appetizers, perfect for a quick meal and a drink rather than a huge feast. The drink menu is impressive, including both a large selection of sake and Japanese drinks as well as wine and local brews. Another benefit is that all of the food is a la carte, so it's extremely affordable.

Very interesting dishes and fantastic service. All fish was very good and prepared perfectly and the twice cooked eggplant with miso delivers a texture and suppleness to a vegetable not found in...

Absolutely delicious. Food was very light, crisp, and fresh. More traditional Japanese restaurant, so there was an emphasis on small shareable plates and sashimi. A little on the pricier side....
