Description

A gracious extension of its next door, multi-level restaurant and lounge, Sushi Hai, Hai Bar is a beautiful underground sanctuary spreading across two spacious basement rooms. Equitably designed for both sushi nibbling and cocktails, plush couches and within-reach tables mix with wall-to-wall booths, standing bar tops and private rooms for six or more. Live DJs, Texas Hold 'Em tournaments and karaoke are all weekend attractions, along with flat-screens throughout playing everything from music videos to football games. With a built-in sushi bar, patrons can order fresh rolls or anything off the upper restaurant's full menu. A laundry list of specialty saketinis, martinis and cocktails add to Hai Bar's full-on sensory experience.

    Three weeks after a fight broke out, Hai Bar keeps it low-key

    I'm rarely carded these days: I'm nearly twice as old as the legal drinking age, and what hair I still have is starting to go gray. So when the bartender at Hai Bar (3600 West 32nd Avenue) asked for my ID on a Thursday night, I gave her such a... More »

    Fish Out of Water

    I'm a sucker for fish, which I like watching (tank), catching (fly) and eating (raw). But I don't eat what I catch, nor do I enjoy seeing fish that I'll soon be served being taken out of a tank. As with beef — I don't adopt the cows I'll later... More »

    Worst place for sushi in Denver. Food: mediocre at best/ bad and dangerous at worst. Service: very bad, rude, (middle class uppity b.s. – give me a break please).

    The worst: green lipped mussels were served on broken shells. Didn’t notice the shell was broken until the mussel was in my mouth with the most horrible flavor. As I was with friends, I swallowed, even though my impulse was to spit. Two of the five mussels on the Green Lipped Appetizer were on severely cracked shells. One shell almost halved. This can only mean one of two things: 1) they are reusing the shells and placing the mussel with topping on the shell for service (using broken shells), or 2) the chef is serving broken and likely dead mussels, which is highly dangerous. As I write this, I’m hoping that I don’t get sick.

    The rest of the sushi was below average, something you’d expect to get in a grocery store counter. Fish dry and sticky; rice bland, flavorless, and chewy (not in a good way).

    Service wise: we were sat in a lower level dining room, Sunday afternoon, 4:45ish. The dining room was empty, with the exception of one couple. We were sat at a table right next to the couple. Before we sat, I requested a booth across the room. We were told they were all reserved. After 90 minutes, only one booth was being sat as wer were finishing.

    I’d like to say only the hostess was rude, but the other staff were equally rude. Our waitress: rude/unfriendly, not knowledgeable about sushi, rattled off the incorrect items we ordered as she pointed to the fish. Other staff members were also rude as we walked through the place to check out the basement bar area.

    The soft shell crab and another tempura roll were served cold, brought to the table with our sushi and sushimi. The tempura was soggy and cold; tuna, hamachi, sticky, not fresh, and underwhelming. No offer for desert or anything else before dropping our check, even though we were celebrating a birthday. Generally service: just blah.

    Two of us have fine dining background, and three of us food connoisseurs, and appreciators of sushi. Although I’ve had sushi in coastal towns around the world, it is not unreasonable to expect quality sushi in Denver, as a matter of fact, we have had good quality sushi here, only not in this dump, which happens to be in a good location.

    Don’t waste your time, risk your health, or give these idiots your money
