If you want to splurge on a nice dinner and want to try a little of everything go the omakase route! Food and service were amazing!! We got lucky with our servers knowledge Luis, and the sushi chef that has been working at Matsuhisa for 22+ years.

Mortgage needed ! Good food but super expensive not worth it
We came on a Thursday night during season 7:30 prime time, we usually eat here every year but their prices just keep climbing like hyperinflation! You can tell by how empty the place was at prime time! Cause food is very good . Save your money for be

We were really looking forward to dining here, especially knowing it was associated with a Michelin-starred chef. We made our reservation about a month and a half in advance and had high hopes for a refined, memorable evening. The walk to the restaur
The food is absolutely fantastic.
Try the miso cod. My only con's are that we made a reservation months in advance, said we wanted downstairs and they sat us upstairs and said there was an issue. It's not the vibe I wanted. The server wasn't great, didn't check i
The vibe at this basement bar is unbeatable - the perfect
The vibe at this basement bar is unbeatable - the perfect spot to grab a bite. I love sitting at the bar, and the lettuce cod wraps are always a must-have!
Yes, prices are high.
But I think it's worth it. Sat at the bar and ordered some dishes on our own and others with the guidance of the friendly bartender. All were tasty, some were over the top exceptional. Snapper sashimi - probably the weakest dish, a bit too salt
Fresh!
Everything was fresh. And we were encouraged to order as we go. 1) Started with Yellowtail Sashimi with Jalapeรฑo appetizer (tender, fresh, very thin cut, jalapeno not too spicy), 2) Broiled Black Cod with Miso (my favorite dish - similar to Nobu M
Fun night out with our group of 8.
Excellent wait staff and the rounds of drinks and food did not disappoint. I wish I wasn't so full I would have ordered dessert. The limestone lettuce with cod is a must! Nobu crispy rice with tuna is also another fun appetizer. Best shishito pepper

Just finished a dinner at Matsuhisa and I hate to say I am way less than impressed. Our waiter was fine but pretty flakey. We had to ask three times for our Yellowtail Sashimi order and the rolls over all were mid for how much you're paying and what

Always incredible food and service when you're able to get seated! I'm pretty basic with our orders but this last time we did try a dessert that had coconut ice cream and cocunut I'm the cake and it was phenomenal!
Delicious sushi and rock shrimp app.
Even a puking kid one table over didn't ruin the experience.

Is this what heaven is? Wow how can I express the perfect meal. Came here with my daughter and trusted the waiter to bring us the best on the menu, it was the best sushi I have ever had in my life! We sat at a larger table and a band playing at Belly
Really excellent Sommelier! Great wine list .
Amazing food .Perfect spot for a wonderful evening .Pricey but you get what you pay for so it's worth it !
Incredible restaurant 5 star.
Ali was our server and she was incredible came in didn't have our reservation asked us if we could be out in an hour and a half we said yes and had a beautiful experience highly recommend this place
I will say the food was excellent five stars all the way.
Service was very good. Our waiter was very attentive. The drink, however from the bar is probably one of the worst Moscow mule's I have ever had in my life. I would come here for the food, but I would not come here to sit at the bar and have a drink.
Rushed loud unfriendly
Disappointing. Food quality was good but atmosphere was more like a club. Music too loud. Felt like we were rushed to eat up and pay the check and get out. Not a place for a couple. Full of large groups. Zero atmosphere. Expensive. Very disappointing
Amazing sushi.
An Aspen classic place to eat. Nobu Matsuhisa sushi is excellent. It's one of the top end places here in town.
Poor quality sushi
The cooked and composed dishes were ok. I would stick with those if I ever returned. The sushi was very poor. We had 10 different pieces of nigiri. At best it lacked flavor. The uni was disgusting. The rice was over cooked and cold. The restaurant is

This restaurant is too expensive for it's Food quality.
Everything is overpriced. We ordered a king crab claw tempura costs like 25 bucks when it's served We Were all shocked by the quantity of the food. Just one bite and it's gone. Also the sushi We ordered didn't taste fresh.
Yes my friends and dear readers this place is as good as
Yes my friends and dear readers this place is as good as the hype and prior reviews. The menu is varied with so many choices. Start with a miso soup and edamame and be sure to save room for the rolls. Go with at least one evening special, and try
The service was incredible.
Our waiter Henry was very knowledgeable and very attentive. The best dish was bluefin tuna with jalapeรฑo, as well as the wagyu. Henry recommended our wagyu to be cooked in a traditional way that was spectacular ! The maguro was too fishy tasting f
Probably the best Japanese food
Make sure you book a long time in advance or know someone with connections for a reservation. It is well worth the effort. This is as good a Japanese meal that you will eat. Not cheap but delicious
Every time I'm in Aspen, dinner at MATSUHISA is a must.
Sushi is consistent so the sushi chefs.
Sorry I don't have pictures.
My phone was memory was full by this time in our trip. I know we had some really good dishes. Our server was amazing and gave us great recommendations after asking some questions about what we'd like. I tried some things I wouldn't have thought to or

Amazing!
Fantastic restaurant with great food and a welcoming atmosphere. The service is excellent, making it a top-notch spot for an enjoyable dining experience.
Excellent dinner and service
We had a fabulous dinner. The service was spot on and the food was absolutely delicious. We had so many options and tried a variety of dishes. Pleasant atmosphere that was enhanced by the warm service. We will definitely be back.
Poor
Just letting you know that my husband and I love Matsuhisa, but this time was not the case. We were celebrating our 40th anniversary and we love the chefโs experience, but we didnโt realize that Antonio thought we were going to share one versus t
Omakase
We had an amazing dinner and opted for the Omakase chef menu. It is well worth the price and the best dinner we had in aspen. It's 8 courses and paced well. All items we probably wouldn't have chosen ourselves, but we were very glad we left it in the
Best meal of Food & Wine Festival Week
We love Japanese food and when in Aspen, this is the ONLY place to go. Mike P took control as our server right out of the gate. Great cocktails then strong recommendations throughout the entire meal. We turned it into a tasting menu night selecting m
Great sushi in Aspen
This is an excellent restaurant and a favorite in Aspen. We went to celebrate a birthday that fell during our vacation, knowing from past experience it would be an ideal spot.
Spectacular food, service and ambience.
Spectacular food, service and ambience! Had omikase (tasting menu) with close friends. All 3 couples agreed it was a fabulous meal! Our server, Allie went above and beyond to provide a top experience. Both the owner and chef came to our table. C
Amazing cute spot! Good service.
Get new style salmon and shave ice & crispy rice cakes.
Serve Only What You Do Best
We had some fantastic items - lettuce hand rolls and salads, but a few items that I found inadequate - miso soup and oily Tempura. The waitress said that the maki rolls were not a specialty and she was right - they were fine but ... The waitress sa
Amazing food and service.
Need to get the miso black cod and a saketini! All of the sushi is delicious and you can't go wrong

This restaurant is packed any night of the week in the best way. When you sit at the sushi bar you are able to see for yourself the top tier quality of the fish. The menu ranges from fresh fish to hot scallop dishes. Ambiance includes dimmed lights,
Great sushi. Terrible ambiance. It is now a tourist trap
Great food. Awful ambiance. Iโve been wanting to go to this restaurant for a long time. Finally got reservations. When we arrived, we were placed in the basement, which was a very loud pub like atmosphere. We are also told that we needed to free u
Super expensive not so great tasting Japanese restaurant.
Typical of any Aspen restaurant. All gear toward tourists. Dashi was so tasteless. It is the base of all Japanese food except sushi. I do not know how Nobu let this happen
Total disappointment
What a disappointment.. we loved Matsuhisa Vail several years ago, & many Nobu locations, so we were really excited to try this one for our trusted favorites, but wow.. completely rude staff and honestly terrible food.. we donโt mind paying
Gluten Free Guy (Celiac)Nothing to write home about here.
Forgot to take other pics but got a bunch of sushi and some edamame. They forgot some stuff. Average Sushi at a premium price.

Connect with users posting reservations for Matsuhisa Aspen
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Matsuhisa Aspen. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Matsuhisa Aspen at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Matsuhisa Aspen page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* DistinguishedTree58, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* DistinguishedTree58 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to DistinguishedTree58 for any questions Peter may have as DistinguishedTree58 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* DistinguishedTree58 now uses their connections at Matsuhisa Aspen to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If DistinguishedTree58 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, DistinguishedTree58 receives the $200 reward which is credited to DistinguishedTree58's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Matsuhisa Aspen!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
