Tatsu Izakaya

Service is good. Food is even better. We were surprised by how good everything is. A great authentic asian place that caters to non-asian pallete. The staff are mostly asian. Spicy is actually spicy. I wished thinner rice layer on the sushi rolls. The pork curlet was juicy. I mistakenly ordered plate, i wanted curry. The portion sizes were great. Definetly will be back for more.

We love coming here for their tonkotsu ramen. It's garlicky, rich, and full of umami, perfect for a cold day. The chicken skewers are juicy and crispy on the outside, and the DU Bomb appetizer loaded with spicy tuna and crab meat is a must-try. True Izakaya vibes, fast-paced, busy, and always worth it.

The Shoyu Tonkotsu is my favorite and I love getting it when I come here. Today we added the Mango Sushi Roll as an appetizer and it was delish. Our server was friendly & service was fast!

If you're in the DU area, I feel Tatsu is a must try! The food was great, everyone enjoyed what they got. My kimchi ramen was killer! It's not a large place and it was filling up quickly during our visit. Looking forward to heading back when in the area!

Tatsu is our favorite Japanese restaurant in Denver. Everything about it is welcoming, the atmosphere and the service is very friendly and attentive. The menu has a wide variety to choose from, including ramen and sushi. But we usually go back to our favorites, such as the pork & chicken gyoza appetizer. This is so yummy, we joke that could make our meal from several orders of these! Other go to favorites are the Chicken Katsu Curry, Chicken Katsudon, and the Fried Rice. These are truly comfort meals, in a cozy atmosphere. Nice selection of alcohol beverages too. We come here often, and love bringing friends from out of town. It never disappoints!
