Fontana Sushi
My boyfriend and I went here one weekend afternoon for some sushi and to utilize their free wireless internet to get a few hours of work done. The wireless internet was the best part about the place. The sushi was absolutely terrible tasting. We did not eat most of our meal because of just how plain awful it tasted. The woman recommended certain rolls because the fish was 'so fresh' but they were incredibly old and fishy. I would absolutely never return here again.…
Highly Recommended. We call it "Neighborhood Sushi" because it's there, and it's a staple, and it doesn't break your wallet as much as some of the other establishments I like more.
Fontana Sushi is awesome. I totally dig Fontana. I've always had really great service here...not to mention their "happy hour" pricing, which is $1 sushi...everyday!! Can't beat that!
Do not eat here.
When I lived near Wash Park, I ate here quite often. My first indication that something was amiss was when my then-boyfriend and I ordered in the restaurant and one of the rolls came "garnished"
with a giant HAIR. We sent it back, of course, but we figured that accidents happen.
The second (and last) time something was amiss, I ordered delivery. Everything looked just fine, and I ate my food, only to feel something caught in my tooth after. I kid you not, there was ANOTHER giant hair, this time caught in my tooth!!
Not long after, I saw a report on one of the Denver news stations that discussed the restaurants with the most health code violations. Fontana was either number two or three, right below the Crazy Asian on Downing, for such tasty violations as not storing food properly and insects. The sad thing was that this wasn't the first (or second) time Fontana had been on the bad side of the health inspectors. This was at least four years ago, and I've not been back.
Seriously, avoid this place.…
Not what I expected. So its very easy to get bad sushi, but when walk in to see a nice well set up establishment your worries tend to fade. That however was not the case however, when you find yourself getting up multiple times to request something from a waitress who neglects to check on paying customers. Fresh rice? Probably not. Fresh fish? Maybe, but a flat taste and lack of size is what you'll get. I've been a sushi fan for some time now and I can honestly say for the money spent, you sure don't get what you paid for. This was a huge waist…
