Yukihana Sushi & Sake Bar - Crested Butte, Colorado

What a beautiful experience! We came here from San Antonio, Tx. It was a last minute decision to go to Yukihana and we are so happy we came! We had the Elk Avenue, The surf and turf, the miso, and the cucumber salad and they were all so delicious! The surf and turfs flavor was just perfection! To top everything off the staff was very sweet and inviting! Chef Paul even came to our table and was so sweet to us and my son and even gave him a hug! I cannot say enough about this place! Will definitely be back next time I’m in town!

If I could give 6 or 7 (or maybe more) stars I would. The best quality of sushi I have had outside of Japan or São Paulo. Get the Chef’s Bento and let the chef pick for you! The service was above and beyond and the chef came to meet us and his passion and joy for the food was infectious. The staff were incredibly knowledgable and added a tonne of value.

I could not recommend more highly.

This was such an unassuming sushi restaurant— we had no idea what to expect from the outside. I am so glad we stepped inside for dinner on Saturday night. We had incredibly friendly and joyful service, delicious wine and saki, and a beautiful, melt in your mouth meal. The Elk Ave roll, Aburi, gyoza, fried mushrooms… all of it was unreal. It was such a fun dinner that I will remember for a long time. I wish I lived closer to Crested Butte so I could support this place more frequently! Thank you for a delightful evening!

Wow... I was blown away by the service and enthusiasm of the staff here. Sat at the bar and the sushi chef is very engaging and passionate about his work when asked. They wanted to ensure that the meal and experience was good. Would 100% go back and recommend checking them out. Averages prices around $15-25 per plate up to $100 for courses and specialized plates.

There isn’t really a word to describe how amazing this food was. Awesome, delectable, absolutely exquisite — it all falls to the flavor of this food. If you are in Crested Butte and like sushi, go here. You probably don’t even need to like sushi to love this kind of delicious food. The service was also amazing and we were told all about the sustainable sources for the fish. Then the chefs go to work to give it that perfection you won’t find anywhere else before servers bring the food to you right away. They were very helpful and made the whole experience even better. Though it is more expensive than your average sushi place, it is so much better of an experience that it is easily worth the price. If you take anything out of this review, it is that you should go here right away!

If you're a sushi lover visiting Crested Butte, Yukihana is an absolute must-visit. It’s so good that we found ourselves back there three times in one week! This charming spot combines delicious, fresh sushi with friendly service, and a welcoming atmosphere that makes it a top choice for any meal.
Located in a beautifully restored historical building, Yukihana's ambiance is cozy yet lively, with an intimate vibe that makes you feel right at home. The service is always friendly, quick, and knowledgeable, and the staff truly enhances the experience. Chef Paul is a standout—his focus on sourcing fresh, high-quality ingredients is evident in every dish. He’s incredibly welcoming and genuinely passionate about his craft, which makes the dining experience feel extra special.
One of the highlights of dining at Yukihana was definitely our server William, who adds an extra layer of fun to the meal. Whether he’s recommending a new sake or sharing the story behind a particular fresh catch, his enthusiasm for the menu is contagious. He truly makes the whole experience even more enjoyable, helping you discover new flavors and dive deeper into the world of sushi.
The entire team at Yukihana is passionate about what they do, and it shows in every detail, from the perfectly prepared rolls to the expertly curated drinks. We couldn't recommend this place enough— Yukihana is a sushi gem you don't want to miss!

Top-notch sushi and service in CB! You won't be disappointed by a visit here. Chef Paul takes real pride in sourcing the finest fish. He does an excellent job marrying traditional sushi with creative dishes of his own design. Try the Paul's Spoon!
