Fontana Sushi

534 E Alameda Ave
Denver, CO 80209-1907
Phone: (303) 778-8818
Across the board, this place is LOW QUALITY. Spend an extra 50 cents a roll and go get the good stuff!

Fontana Sushi is awful. The rice was old tasting and not soft and easy to eat like other sushi. They use imitation crab!!!!! YUCK. $4 for a California Roll with fake crab- go to John Holly for 50 more cents you get high quality REAL crab. The shrimp was tasteless and the Soba noodles were disgusting- seriously- we had 8 people eating and no one ate them- everyone put a little on their plates and we all agreed they weren't bad- they were disgusting. I bought $100 of food for my family and a family we were having over for dinner. I should not have tried this place for as much as I spent. We were all very disappointed- they can't even cook decent sushi rice?! I called and expressed my disappointment and he said he was sorry he couldn't make me happy and that most places charge $8 for a California Roll. I informed him that his competitors charge a mere 50 cents more for real, good quality crab with melt in your mouth sushi rice. Seriously it hurts to give them $100 for crappy, crappy, low quality food. I could have yummy, high quality food for the same amount of money from John Holly. Live and learn and you get to learn w/o the pain of ordering from Fontana since I have spent this time to write this out. My loss is your gain.

Pros: There are no pros to this place.

Cons: Too many cons to list- see review.

Editor's Review

One of the city's best sushi deals, wrapped in an unlikely Wash Park joint.  See the full editorial review.
