" Came here for a family gathering, and we had a blast! The menu has a wide variety of options to choose from. We all loved the ramen and shared some gyoza, which was filled with flavor. The ambiance is quite lively and festive. The wait staff were all super helpful in recommending dishes. All in all, a great dining spot for families or any gathering. I’m definitely looking forward to my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" Honest review: the food was good but didn’t wow me as much as I had hoped. I opted for the chicken karaage which was decent—crispy and tasty but nothing out of the ordinary. The ramen lacked the substantial depth I look for. On the other hand, the service was fabulous! Our server was incredibly helpful and brightened our experience. The atmosphere was cozy, it felt like a neighborhood spot. Might come back to try their sushi, but overall, it was just okay. " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to Tatsu Izakaya on a friend's recommendation, and I'm so glad I did! The tonkotsu ramen was outstanding, one of the best I’ve tried in Denver. The portion sizes were generous and well worth the price. The ambiance is cozy, perfect for a laid-back dinner. The staff was polite and attentive, which made the experience even better. I’ll definitely be coming back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" Tatsu Izakaya has become my go-to place for ramen and sushi in Denver! The quality is unmatched, and I've brought several friends who have all loved it. Particularly, the spicy miso ramen is a must-try! I was impressed by how fresh everything was, and the service has always been attentive. The atmosphere reminds me of my time in Japan, and that cozy feeling adds to the experience. I can’t recommend it enough; it's worth every bite! " (*Curated Review*)

" I stumbled upon Tatsu Izakaya and I couldn't be happier. The sushi was fresh, while the ramen was satisfying and definitely worth trying. The environment was lively, perfect for a casual outing with friends. The only downside was the parking situation, which is a bit of a hassle. Overall, I would recommend this spot for anyone looking for a casual and tasty Japanese meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" Every dish we tried was nothing short of amazing! The broth in their Tonkotsu ramen was the highlight—rich, creamy, and bursting with flavor. The staff was accommodating and made excellent recommendations. It was bustling yet cozy, providing a great environment to relax and enjoy a lovely meal. I’m thoroughly impressed and eager to return soon! " (*Curated Review*)
