★★★★★ 5.0 Geoff Hayth · Dec 2025

Truly an exceptional experience. Akira Back has pulled off a masterpiece tucked deep in the mountains of Big Sky. We started with the Yellowtail Jalapeño, Salmon Tataki, and Crispy Rice cold dishes. Each brought something distinct to the table and set the tone for the evening. From there, we shared the AB Mushroom Pizza and the Wagyu Filet Tobanyaki. The filet was outstanding, rich and perfectly balanced by the accompanying mushrooms. We also ordered the Dry Aged Bone In Ribeye, which was excellent on its own with deep, clean flavor. The accompanying sauces were well done and added variety without being necessary. For sushi, we had the Toro and Salmon, both incredibly fresh and beautifully prepared. We also shared the Brother From Another Mother, Red Dragon, and Spicy Negi Hama rolls, a

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Ryann Langdon · Dec 2025

The dining room and ambiance was beautiful and different from anything in Big Sky town center, which we appreciated as people who live here full time year round. We were a little early for our reservation, but it didn’t seem to be a problem. Any drinks we ordered from the bar took way too long for having 2 bartenders and for how many FOH staff members there were in ratio to guests. There were only 2 bar guests and the dining room wasn’t even half filled. The somm brought my by-the-glass pour promptly, but didn’t ask my husband what he was waiting for. One of us sat with an empty water glass multiple times throughout our experience. Our server (Jacob) was very knowledgeable about the menu/my intolerances and was as attentive as he could have been having a section stretched across the room

★★★★★ 5.0 Agnieszka Rodriguez · Mar 2026

Excellent, excellent, excellent - across the board. This is by far the best restaurant in Big Sky. The sushi is fresh and expertly prepared. Great sake selection. Lots of delicious dishes to choose from - we tried so many different items and can’t wait to go back for more.

Located inside the One&Only hotel with beautiful views of the snow-covered mountains. The food was good, and the prices felt reasonable for a hotel restaurant.

★★★★★ 5.0 Juliet Traylor · Dec 2025

Phenomenal food, service, and ambience. Driving up to the building itself was magical - very off grid and unassuming. The space was beautiful down to the last detail, from light fixtures to tableware. Our server, Andrew, went above and beyond to curate our evening. He was incredibly knowledgeable and able to answer our questions (even about brand new menu items). He demonstrated patience with our fun yet indecisive table. Another staff member we had the privilege of dining with was Kale (sommelier), who provided us with beautiful drinks. I ordered a Margarita, which was off menu, and I was blown away by the quality and presentation. Our table is still talking about the Rock Shrimp three days later … Overall - I highly recommend not just for the food but for the exquisite staff and Jam
