Excellent sushi! The wa-fu ceviche was beautiful and really delicious.

Best sushi you can get in CO! So yummy. Always a great time. I wish they had more room though, it gets crowded at night!

Call me a sushi snob and I rarely Yelp a 1 but honestly... I asked 3 locals where their favorite sushi spot was. All 3 answered Mtn. Flying Fish. Great I thought. Uh not so much. I enjoyed 2 things here. The Kurosawa bottle of sake that I had on my own and the nicely blanched asparagus in my Asparagus Roll. The miso soup was so salty that it was still harsh after adding hot water. The veggie tempura was a bunch of onion rings. I got to enjoy half a shitake mushroom and one Shiso (oba) leaf. The tekka wasn't bad but the rice was tough and rough and the sesame seeds weren't toasted. Felt like they borrowed them from a sesame bagel (but those are usually toasted). The kicker is that the service was super slow. I know they meant well, I'm just glad that the locals keep them busy. They seem like good people. Saying that, it was closing day so I can understand why the quality of food wouldn't be as good as an average day.

Great sushi restaurant! I'm a local and have been several times now. The sushi is always wonderful! I'm just now leaving a review because the staff soo impressed me this evening with their customer service! They're all always so kind and friendly, and very understanding of my deathly sesame allergy. They accidentally made our takeout order with sesames, but remedied the situation like pros! They were all apologetic, remade it quickly, and even gave us a little gift certificate to apologize. I love when businesses properly handle a mistake. I will keep going back and give them my business because of the impressive service!
(5)Scott M.
This place is "ridiculously" yummy. Need I say more? Busy but so worth the wait. Dragon special is always amazing and I have never had spicy scallop roll but now I am hooked.
(5)Michael L.
Pleasantly surprised at some of the fresh fish that was served here. Namely the Aji which was flown from japan and the Uni which was also flown in from japan. I also ordered the scottish salmon belly which just tasted like regular salmon, and not the salmon belly that Im used to. Also the sushi rice they use is not warm, and they dont brush the soy sauce on each nigiri piece. The rice also comes apart while you are trying to grab it., which should never happen. But I have to realize im not in japan or NYC so I'll have to up their grade to compensate for the location. The rolls were decent, but Ive had better. In summary a very solid place for locals because it seems breck is in dire need of some real food.
(4)Robert M.
I had the Hawaiian yellowtail special, which was probably the best nigiri I've ever had. I could tell a lot of care went into every piece. Memorable, even for a sushi lover.
(5)Frank W.
Excellent sushi and good service. Definitly on the pricy side buy hey look around you are in a ski resort.
(4)Nicole W.
Kudos to Carolyn! We called 15 minutes before we were headed over with a group of 12!!! And they happily accommodated us! They are not open on Thanksgiving. Best rolls: Spicy Tuna Catterpillar - mmm Unagi - good Worth eating California Roll Dragon Spider Roll Rainbow Save your pennies: Mixed Dragon - sucked Volcano - ick Make sure if you go with the special that you check the price!! The Mixed Dragon was terrible, it was $20 and we ended up with 2 on the table! Our water was always filled, and i will definitely be back! It is unfortunate that they are not open on Thanksgiving. We tried to go last thanksgiving when we spent the holiday up there.
(4)Jason D.
Unfreakin' believably awesome sushi in the middle of the mountains. Extremely fresh fish and generous portions.
(4)john W.
We tried to eat here on Thanksgiving as is our tradition on Turkey day (we don't like turkey), but alas they were not open. With a huge group of friends at Oktoberfest however we did finally get to enjoy Sushi in the mountains, and it was awesome! the Unagi was incredible, the Spicy tuna, awesome. The only one we didn't enjoy was the Mixed dragon, a bit too out there for most of the group's tastes. Sadly is was also not cheap and we got 2, lesson learned, be bold on the less expensive pieces :) All in all an incredible time, and our server was the best! I was really worried with 12 slightly to really inebriated people at the table we'd be too much, but she handled us like a champ! If you're in Breck, and hankering for a great sushi meal, go to Mtn. Flying Fish, you won't be disappointed!

I went here on a 'date' the other night after answering what seemed like 20 questions from the guy about which side of the county I want to dine at and what I was interested in having. Now, I live around the corner from one of the better sushi restaurants in denver, and I spent three years in the 'sushi-in-strip-malls' mecca that is LA, so when he picked Mountain Flying Fish as the place to woo me, I was curious... It's relatively unassuming (on the top floor of La Cima which is Breck's answer to a shopping mall -- complete with all the touristy places that you can gather), and is clean but not fancy and busy but relatively quick to be seated. After a looooong time to get menus (not a worry though, conversation moved easily), we settled on purple haze sake, a sashimi combo, two rolls (spicy tuna & salmon skin), and edamame. It was more than enough food (although the guy admitted that he had pizza a few hours before, and I was attempting to hold back from my usual raw fish gorge-fest as to not embarrass myself) and had good flavor and freshness. The combo was well presented (even mix of obscure and traditional) and I appreciated that it had more smaller pieces rather than 2 larger cuts of each fish. As we were seated at the bar, we got to watch Damian (pretty sure of his name, but he's the tall, long-haired, snowboarding chef) create and then torch some crazy, badass special roll for the couple next to us. All of the sushi chefs seemed more than competent and very eager to create tasty dishes. Anyway, I'd definitely go back... especially if it's for another date :)
(4)Josh G.
We came in on a Friday night and there were only a couple seats at the sushi bar, which was okay with us. The people we sat next to were very friendly as was the staff. The fish was very fresh and we loved every bite. Especially the Escolar Sashimi! We'll definitely be going back.
(4)JoJami T.
Wow! Sushi was so fresh and yummy! Very friendly staff too!
(5)Donna C.
I have a house in Breckenridge and go there frequently. My brother's family comes once a year for a week of skiing/snowboarding and we have a tradition of going to Mountain Flying Fish (actually we have been going since it was "Sushi Breck" in the early 90s). After a starter of yummy edamame, we are always amazed at the quality of fish up in the mountains of Colorado...and always have a great experience at MFF. The basic nigiri and sashimi is fantastic - clean and fresh. This trip (January 2011) we were lucky enough to be there on a night when they had belly tuna. It was melt-in-your-mouth good. The rolls are good for the younger crowd and always fresh and tasty. The teriyaki and tempura is great as well. They have an extensive sake menu, but that's not our thing...so we just enjoy the "big" Sapporo. :) Finally, the owners and staff are super friendly and we are always glad to go back.
(5)Tom M.
Awesome sushi and nigiri. Our first night in town, my wife and I got caught in a hail storm so we ducked in to the Mountain Flying Fish. They were so accommodating to us and everyone else. What a fun time.
(4)Eric D.
One of the best sushi experiences Ive had. We sat at the bar and the owner took great care of us. After he could see that we were veterans with sushi and eat anything, he took us on a experience. He did some incredible things with the sushi. Fantastic scallops, yellowtale, monkfish liver..everything was amazing. For sure i will return when in Breckenridge.
(5)Leslie S.
My favorite restaurant in Breck, bar none! Ask Tet to make you his specialty and you'll be completely wowed. All rolls are are great and fish is always fresh. Don't bother with Nozawa in Dillon.
(5)Anthony B.
Overall- pretty good sushi, but definitely overpriced. Very busy, we sat at the sushi bar. It was nice to watch them make the sushi, but the service was not great & they did not tell us the specials. We ordered the tuna ahi & the dragon roll. The tuna ahi did not come nigiri as we ordered it, but it was good & fresh. The dragon roll was sloppy in presentation, but it tasted fine. The ginger was better than we have had at other sushi places. However, we felt that for what we got, it should have been about half the price.
(2)Eliot L.
Excellent sushi, sake, atmosphere, and chefs. The main chef looks like Mr. Meaghi. The boat of sushi is a must have for large groups.
(4)Dennis K.
We drove from Keystone to Breck just to eat here, and the 30 minute trip was worthwhile. The seating is a little snug, but the place feels cozy and welcoming. The staff were knowledgeable and attentive, and the food was excellent. We ordered a variety of rolls, and I had the chefs special - a sashimi ceviche salad that was excellent. Everything tasted fresh, and the price was reasonable for a resort town.
(4)Erica R.
If this place was in Austin, where I live, eating there would be a weekly occurrence. The fish was beautiful, fresh, and delicious - in fact, it's some of the best fish I've had at a sushi restaurant, and I've been to the best of the best. At Mountain Flying Fish, I was truly impressed. We ordered the caterpillar roll, smoked salmon, spicy scallop roll, halibut belly and several others and enjoyed every bite. Also, definitely try the redbean icecream bonbons - they come wrapped in a soft, sweet jelly-like rice paper and are an absolutely TASTY way to wrap up your meal.
(5)Cara P.
Horrible!
(1)Superfly T.
Fantastic fish for the mountains. Very friendly service, reasonable prices. All good!
(4)John H.
Freaking fantastic sushi and spicy tuna gyoza. Wow I'm a fan
(5)Jenna C.
So I think compared to the other sushi place in breck, this one is far better. But compared to sushi I've had (which is a lot), it wasnt all that special. Rolls were quite small for the price and a little bland. The staff was friendly though. I think breck needs a better sushi place to be honest!
(3)Susan T.
This was some of the best sushi we've ever had, and we've had it all over the country! We ordered an appetizer special and it was a little boring, and the wine was mediocre - so just stick with sushi because it's amazing! It is a little pricey, especially the nigiri pieces, but they're thick and generous portions. We will be visiting again next time we're in the area!
(5)joel m.
One of the best restaurants in Breck without a doubt. We've eaten here several times and it's always been outstanding. I know good sushi, having lived in LA and traveled quite a bit in Asia and this place is good. The fish is fresh, the preparation is top rate, and the service is right on. If you're in Breck and in the mood for fish, this is the place to go. I recommend the specials. Tonight we had the Hawaiian Yellowtail which was outstanding and the Squid salad which was one of the best squid dishes I've ever had. Whole squid, fried and slices with an awesome dipping sauce served with greens. Wow, so good. And the bill wasn't that bad. I've read some reviews on here complaining about the prices. Just be selective about what you order and don't go overboard on mega rolls. Some nigiri, agadashi tofu, softshell crab appetizer (yum), couple specials, beer and saki and a cucumber roll for the kids and you're good to go. Enjoy!
(5)Becky S.
One of the best sushi places for the mountains! We went there on the last day before it closed till opening day(of the ski resort.) Despite their vacation started the next day, we had awesome service and food. The locals discount made it even better! PS- the cucumber salad rocks!
(4)Winston C.
I am not a sushi expert, but certainly not a beginner, I will say that this place was great. The fish was fresh and rolls were delicious. It is very crowded and loud and the wait can be significant- is it worth it? YES!
(4)Jessica G.
Pretty tasty specials, for Breckenridge, I was pleasantly surprised about how delicious and fresh everything was. Service was great!
(4)MELINDA M.
My husband, 2 kids, and I visited Mountain Flying Fish twice in a four day trip to Breckenridge. The spicy scallop rolls were very good. I would stay away from the white tuna, it tastes a little on the fishy side. The first night we ate there, the service was great. The second night, we had about a 45 minute wait and service once seated, was less than desirable. The food was worth the wait and because they were so busy, we understood that the service would suffer. Over the two meals, we enjoyed teriaki chicken skewers (for the kids, but we tasted and they were good), fried veggies (which included some surprise veggies, such as pumpkin), spicy scallop rolls(my favorite), crunchy salmon rolls, fried shrimp rolls, yellowtail carpaccio (REALLY GOOD-we orded this twice), maguru (red tuna) nigiri, sake (salmon) nigiri, and escolar (white tuna) nigiri. The nigiri had a slight wasabi taste. Price was average. We spent $141 the first night, my husband and I each having a glass of sake. We spent about $130 the second night, each having a beer.
(4)christine b.
A gem in the mountains....This place is awesome!!! The fish is always fresh and delicious!! The sushi chefs reccomendations are the best! Treat yourself and go mountain flying fish :)
(5)W J.
Was crowded but cozy. We were only two people so getting a table wasn't hard for us. Larger parties may have to wait a while (they don't take reservations). We are veggie-only and there were decent options. Also good variety of sake and Japanese beers. Food was great.
(4)Meridith H.
I was hesitant to eat sushi in a mountain town, but my parents' friends (who are locals) swear by this place so we gave it a try. Service is super friendly and more prompt that most laidback joints. The prices were a little high, but it is Breckenridge and the sushi was wonderful. The king crab roll was delicious...a must...and the tuna carpaccio was tasty as it came on top of a salad with pine nuts. The spicy tuna was also quite good. All in all, a good experience for mountain sushi.
(4)Jill S.
We love sushi, especially good sushi. I am on a gluten free diet, and often gluten free sushi is served without any sauces. Plain fish, rice, and vegetables without the sauces. The server and chefs went out of their way to be sure to substitute a gluten free version for (almost) anything on the menu. I had fried softshell crab gluten free, fried calamari, spicy scallop rolls, Dragon roll. It was all so delicious and fresh. The server was so helpful in helping us select delicious items off the menu. And the beautiful mountain scenery is gorgeous. I cannot recommend this highly enough ... regardless of if you eat gluten free or not!
(5)Sara A.
We were blown away by how fresh and how well prepared everything was (from cooked dishes to sushi). I have had the privilege of eating at some of the best and most renowned places in New York City, and this meal surpassed them all. We were fortunate enough to be with someone who knew the chefs and we had an Omakase ("Chef's Choice") meal, but if you order anything from what we had, you won't be disappointed. I posted a full review, with pictures, if you're curious: nycnomnom.com/2011/06/27…
(5)Daniel D.
I eat sushi weekly in Boston and I was worried about Rocky Mountain sushi place. Fear not!!! The meal was amazing. I am a tamago snob and theirs was home made, real and fresh. The scallop (Hotattegai) was super fresh, buttery and sweet. The Unagi was to die for. My only complaint is the Tobikko was green due to excessive wasabi and I wasn't expecting it that way. Strongly recommended. A++++
(5)Morgan M.
As an avid sushi lover, I have eaten at many Japanese restaurants. By far, this is the best sushi I have ever eaten-- very fresh and with wonderful flavor. The Dragon Special was INCREDIBLE, and I would recommend it to anyone. On a negative note, I've also had better service. My waiter only dropped by every so often (although this seemed to be typical of most waiters in Breckenridge), and the service was otherwise slow. But the sushi is well worth the wait.
(5)Joyce K.
It's hard to write this review because if you've had sushi in other cities that have access to fresh fish, then Mountain Flying Fish doesn't stand a chance; but, if you compare its sushi with other ski resorts, then yes, this place is a very good choice. The only con is that they dont do happy hour. Practically every restaurant in Breckenridge does happy hour, i wish they did, too.
(3)Carolyn E.
Always my favorite place to go in Breck. Best sushi I've ever had and the freshest!! The wait staff is always so kind and the owners remember us each time we are in there. I always leave with a huge smile on my face
(5)Loren R.
We were really disappointed after reading what were mostly good reviews. I don't understand how things could be so different. The chicken teriyaki I had was reheated and dry served with a small portion of way over cooked and soggy/greasy veggies and a cup of generic teriyaki sauce. My wife's sushi, well you can get far better sushi at Whole Foods in Frisco. And the tab for the two of us with one saki was close to $80.
(1)Mike M.
This is going to be short, but sweet. Best green curry I have ever had in my entire life hands down. Huge portion, incredibly savory and delicious, very spicy! I am so upset this place has to be on top of a mountain so far far away from me. I'm afraid I will be haunted by the absence of this dish never being able to dance on top of my pallet ever again, just like the one who got away. An irreplaceable void in my heart. Please don't take it for granted like I did. Enjoy the moment because it will soon slip from your grasp and you will be miles away wondering if for the rest of your life all other curries will be bland and undesirable.
(5)Heather A.
We received great service from Lori tonight. We ordered the escolar nigiri and salmon sashimi along with the shrimp tempura to start. Then we tried their house special roll (tempura fried spicy tuna roll), rainbow roll (california roll topped with salmon, tuna, yellowtail, and white tuna), philly roll (smoked salmon with cream cheese), and the regular spicy tuna roll. No frills or overly sauced, which is what I like!
(4)Lesia M.
We ordered teriyaki chicken, crab dumplings,the salmon roll and the crispy shrimp roll. The crab dumplings are delightful lite bites, crab is the star, served with a sesame soy dipping sauce. the teriyaki chicken was cooked well and teriyaki served on the side,white rice and some veggies ,very small serving for $21. The sushi rolls included top quality fish and shrimp and other ingredients. My rating of 4 is based off the quality of the ingredients and how well they were prepared.My complaints are that is was extremely noisy,the small portions except for the the sushi rolls, and our waitress and hostess failed to meet the basics of good service,our water glasses were empty most of the time and it took forever to get someone attention to get anything. I do not plan to make a repeat visit for those reasons.
(4)Angie B.
We were craving sushi and decided to go to this place. It was located on third floor and a little difficult to find. The atmosphere was exactly what we were looking for. They sat us right away. We eat sushi very often so know exactly what we want typically. All was good besides the service. She seemed to have a really bad attitude. I'm on vacation so it didn't sit well with us. We ordered yellow tail and a lobster roll but I can't recall the name! I can tell you it was delicious! All food came out quickly. App, soups, 2rolls, yellow tail, and 2 drinks (wine & beer) we got out spending right about $100. All was amazing but the service :)
(3)Scott S.
Best darn sushi in Breckenridge....the competition is slim Now some people would think that sushi in the mountains would just sucks (they are dumb). I think you will be pleasantly surprised if you wonder up to this fun sushi bar. The interior looks like every other sushi bar, I think they all but from the same catalog. But are you really there for interior design tips? No like most people that come to the mountains you are looking for a fun time with dinner. So grab some sake and a large beer some food and apply a smile.
(4)Alexander T.
The best sushi place in Breckenridge, mountain has a great selection of sushi and hot entrees. I enjoyed the steak curry and it was a large portion with tender steak. Although the prices were fairly high, our group really enjoyed the overall experience and cuisine. There are no reservations.
(4)Andy S.
Kind of in a difficult location, but finally found it. Having driven up from Phoenix, we expected to just slide right in and enjoy some sushi. I am a sushi snob, and if the chef isn't from Japan or at least KNOWS Japanese, I'm out the door. We scouted out the spot from down here in Arizona, and some Japanese bakers down here had been up to Breckenridge the week before. They said to go to MFF. The sushi chef is phenomenal. So, we got in and said we had just driven up from Phoenix. The sushi chef, Tesuo, had been expecting us (thanks to a phone call from the Phoenix bakers). He did not disappoint. He had given us his background of being a sushi apprentice for a few years in Osaka, then moving to the states before settling in Breckenridge. He assured us that the sushi was fresh, and it definitely showed. The prices are a bit on the high side, but that is the price you pay for the luxury of having fresh delivered to your plate, when you're so far away from the ocean. Will be back again next year in August!
(4)Jon E.
Great sushi. I'm impressed they have various Toro options- Bluefin (the best food on this earth), yellowfin, and salmon! I can tell the owners spend money to get the best fish possible, and as a sushi lover I have to respect that. I didn't even blink when I got the check because prices are very reasonable for high quality sushi..... Not to mention what else did I expect after 5 or 6 Sapporo's, 15 pieces of sashimi (all toro), salad, sake, and another 4 8-piece special rolls? I'm just a savage I guess, and for anyone like me please make sure to check this place out if you make out to Breckenridge.
(4)Chuck K.
Started with edamame, little too cold for me, then to sushi & sashimi combo, each of the chefs selections were very good, then a spider and California roll, I have been eating sushi for 20 years now, this place is very good and the go to place per the locals
(4)Heidi E.
So we heard this place was good. Got there at 930 Saturday night. They closed at 10. Sat down people were eating and the waiter came over And told us they were closed. REALLY? We were so ready for sushi getting ready to drop some money and a to go order. What a bunch of idiots!!!
(1)Chris B.
Tetsuo imports the highest quality sashimi. Tuna belly, salmon belly, Hawaiian yellowtail, scallops from Hokkaido - excellent.
(5)Jeff P.
Great sashimi here! They have the high end fatty tuna and everything is really good. It is expensive but worth it. They do not accept reservations and are walk in only. They open at 5pm and we got there at 530p and barely got seated. If you get there any later you will be looking at a bit of a wait.
(5)Renee L.
Loved the sushi.... I am always in search of good sushi and this place was AMAZING..I would recommend this place over and over again. The wait was a little long so the waitress took down our number so we could go walk around so we didn't have to stand around and wait.
(5)Marina Z.
The food is great. Service is awful. Ordered food with my boyfriend and he got his 20 min later. Asked the waitress for extra eel sauce twice just to finish my sushi when she brought it over.
(1)David F.
Good food but poorly managed kitchen. Dined with my wife and daughter - two of us were served our dinner, finished it, then waited 10 minutes for the third meal to be served. Udon noodles should not take so long especially at $29.
(2)Warren M.
Great sushi and worth the price. The service was good and the ambiance was nice. It is very busy so make sure you get there early if you want to be seated at the sushi bar. The only downfall is there could have been more items to choose from. The upshot is they have daily specials that are fantastic. Worth the trip......
(4)Troy H.
I have lived in Breck for almost 3 years. We are foodies. Our friends are foodies. We have always avoided this place because we were told it was expensive, which we believed because it's Breck! Dumbasses! It's not more expensive than any other and is very good. The owner is behind the counter preparing and engaging. I would recommend it to visitors and locales alike!
(5)Jeffrey C.
This Japanese restaurant is an amazing find in Breckenridge. I wouldn't be disappointed with the quality of the food in New York. The Sashimi was perfect, it was nice to find Kanpachi (Hamachi) and Uni up in the mountains. The Monk fish liver pate was another pleasant surprise. The nabayeki udon had copious amounts of chicken in it, superb tempura but lacked the traditional egg and fish cakes. All in all this was a really great find.
(5)Kimmi D.
To keep things short, don't order the usual tempura shrimp or spider rolls here. It's not worth it, especially if you're gonna pay 2x what other restaurants would charge. However, I do recommend getting their specials for the day. Trust me on this. If you're gonna spend more money on mediocre food, you might as well spend it on mediocre specialty food.
(3)Jill L.
Echoing the other commenters that a sushi place in the mountains seems dicey at first glance, but this place is fab. Cucumber salad, dragon roll, sashimi, miso soup - great! Service is good and efficient. So good we dined here 2 nights in a row!
(4)Phero V.
Atmosphere definitely five stars. Waiting staffs awesome, very accommodating and very attentive; however 4 stars for the service because when we went it was a full house, I have to drink my friends water because they are so busy to fill it up. 4 stars for the rolls because it was loosely packed at the slightest pressure of the chopstick the rolls came undone, and the rolls are not that impressive in my opinion, taking into account of taste (3.5 stars, rolls only) and presentation ( 4 stars). 5 stars for the atmosphere and the food ( carpaccio and sashimi). Tips of the day, What u should order is carpaccio, dragon rolls, sashimi they are to die for. However, house special, oysters, regular rolls, I would stay away. Would I go back next time? Definitely yes !!!! One of our friend have a birthday and they made it very special. Staffs are awesome!!!!
(5)Wontongirl C.
Had the Dragon Roll here and it was delicious. Also ordered the freshly grated wasabi which gave the dragon roll the perfect amount of spice. I think the roll has charred jalapeños as well.
(4)B B.
Do yourself a favor and get the spicy tuna roll! Sort of pricey but everything was really good!
(4)David T.
The miso soup with clams was really good and the flavored Tobiko was also excellent. The service was timely and it was a great experience overall. I live in San Jose where there are many excellent sushi restaurants and this one ranks right up there. It surprised me that such a good sushi restaurant would be in a small town in the middle of Colorado far from the ocean.
(5)Susan J.
Apart from them running out of the special tom yum soup which all four of us were looking forward to, and then being served cold miso that was overpowered by tofu and shiitake mushrooms, the sushi was absolutely delicious. Perfect bite size cut pieces, the freshest fish I've had in awhile and my husband and I have had some pretty amazing sushi before. We ordered the volcano roll, philly roll, and spicy tuna roll. All tasted wonderful!! The only other negative was that we waited for nearly an hour til we finally got a table, but they did call us to let us know our table was ready while we waited at the downstairs Brooklyn tavern and had a drink :)
(4)Scott B.
Mountain Flying Fish is a great spot in Breck for Sushi. Their sushi, Terriyaki chicken, etc are very good. Very good quality than what you'd think you would get in a mountain town. The atmosphere in the restaurant is subpar. If you're looking for an elegant sushi restaurant- this isn't the place but the food is excellent. Be prepared for a long wait if you haven't made reservations. This is 1 spot we always go to every time in Breck.
(4)Sean A.
Quality sushi in Breck? Absolutely. Fantastic spot and always great service, fish quality and fun times at the Sushi Bar. Awesome location as well.
(5)Lou R.
Awesome Sushi in the Mountains. I've had great sushi everywhere - LA, SF, NY & Tokoyo and this place is some of the best, freshest and well prepared anywhere. Treat yourself and you won't be disappointed!

This Japanese restaurant is an amazing find in Breckenridge. I wouldn't be disappointed with the quality of the food in New York. The Sashimi was perfect, it was nice to find Kanpachi (Hamachi) and Uni up in the mountains. The Monk fish liver pate was another pleasant surprise. The nabayeki udon had copious amounts of chicken in it, superb tempura but lacked the traditional egg and fish cakes. All in all this was a really great find.
(5)Kimmi D.
To keep things short, don't order the usual tempura shrimp or spider rolls here. It's not worth it, especially if you're gonna pay 2x what other restaurants would charge. However, I do recommend getting their specials for the day. Trust me on this. If you're gonna spend more money on mediocre food, you might as well spend it on mediocre specialty food.

Echoing the other commenters that a sushi place in the mountains seems dicey at first glance, but this place is fab. Cucumber salad, dragon roll, sashimi, miso soup - great! Service is good and efficient. So good we dined here 2 nights in a row!
(4)Phero V.
Atmosphere definitely five stars. Waiting staffs awesome, very accommodating and very attentive; however 4 stars for the service because when we went it was a full house, I have to drink my friends water because they are so busy to fill it up. 4 stars for the rolls because it was loosely packed at the slightest pressure of the chopstick the rolls came undone, and the rolls are not that impressive in my opinion, taking into account of taste (3.5 stars, rolls only) and presentation ( 4 stars). 5 stars for the atmosphere and the food ( carpaccio and sashimi). Tips of the day, What u should order is carpaccio, dragon rolls, sashimi they are to die for. However, house special, oysters, regular rolls, I would stay away. Would I go back next time? Definitely yes !!!! One of our friend have a birthday and they made it very special. Staffs are awesome!!!!
(5)Wontongirl C.
Had the Dragon Roll here and it was delicious. Also ordered the freshly grated wasabi which gave the dragon roll the perfect amount of spice. I think the roll has charred jalapeños as well.
(4)B B.
Do yourself a favor and get the spicy tuna roll! Sort of pricey but everything was really good!
(4)Mike M.
This is going to be short, but sweet. Best green curry I have ever had in my entire life hands down. Huge portion, incredibly savory and delicious, very spicy! I am so upset this place has to be on top of a mountain so far far away from me. I'm afraid I will be haunted by the absence of this dish never being able to dance on top of my pallet ever again, just like the one who got away. An irreplaceable void in my heart. Please don't take it for granted like I did. Enjoy the moment because it will soon slip from your grasp and you will be miles away wondering if for the rest of your life all other curries will be bland and undesirable.
(5)Carolyn E.
Always my favorite place to go in Breck. Best sushi I've ever had and the freshest!! The wait staff is always so kind and the owners remember us each time we are in there. I always leave with a huge smile on my face
(5)Loren R.
We were really disappointed after reading what were mostly good reviews. I don't understand how things could be so different. The chicken teriyaki I had was reheated and dry served with a small portion of way over cooked and soggy/greasy veggies and a cup of generic teriyaki sauce. My wife's sushi, well you can get far better sushi at Whole Foods in Frisco. And the tab for the two of us with one saki was close to $80.
(1)Joyce K.
It's hard to write this review because if you've had sushi in other cities that have access to fresh fish, then Mountain Flying Fish doesn't stand a chance; but, if you compare its sushi with other ski resorts, then yes, this place is a very good choice. The only con is that they dont do happy hour. Practically every restaurant in Breckenridge does happy hour, i wish they did, too.
(3)Angie B.
We were craving sushi and decided to go to this place. It was located on third floor and a little difficult to find. The atmosphere was exactly what we were looking for. They sat us right away. We eat sushi very often so know exactly what we want typically. All was good besides the service. She seemed to have a really bad attitude. I'm on vacation so it didn't sit well with us. We ordered yellow tail and a lobster roll but I can't recall the name! I can tell you it was delicious! All food came out quickly. App, soups, 2rolls, yellow tail, and 2 drinks (wine & beer) we got out spending right about $100. All was amazing but the service :)
(3)Scott S.
Best darn sushi in Breckenridge....the competition is slim Now some people would think that sushi in the mountains would just sucks (they are dumb). I think you will be pleasantly surprised if you wonder up to this fun sushi bar. The interior looks like every other sushi bar, I think they all but from the same catalog. But are you really there for interior design tips? No like most people that come to the mountains you are looking for a fun time with dinner. So grab some sake and a large beer some food and apply a smile.
(4)Alexander T.
The best sushi place in Breckenridge, mountain has a great selection of sushi and hot entrees. I enjoyed the steak curry and it was a large portion with tender steak. Although the prices were fairly high, our group really enjoyed the overall experience and cuisine. There are no reservations.
(4)Andy S.
Kind of in a difficult location, but finally found it. Having driven up from Phoenix, we expected to just slide right in and enjoy some sushi. I am a sushi snob, and if the chef isn't from Japan or at least KNOWS Japanese, I'm out the door. We scouted out the spot from down here in Arizona, and some Japanese bakers down here had been up to Breckenridge the week before. They said to go to MFF. The sushi chef is phenomenal. So, we got in and said we had just driven up from Phoenix. The sushi chef, Tesuo, had been expecting us (thanks to a phone call from the Phoenix bakers). He did not disappoint. He had given us his background of being a sushi apprentice for a few years in Osaka, then moving to the states before settling in Breckenridge. He assured us that the sushi was fresh, and it definitely showed. The prices are a bit on the high side, but that is the price you pay for the luxury of having fresh delivered to your plate, when you're so far away from the ocean. Will be back again next year in August!
(4)Jon E.
Great sushi. I'm impressed they have various Toro options- Bluefin (the best food on this earth), yellowfin, and salmon! I can tell the owners spend money to get the best fish possible, and as a sushi lover I have to respect that. I didn't even blink when I got the check because prices are very reasonable for high quality sushi..... Not to mention what else did I expect after 5 or 6 Sapporo's, 15 pieces of sashimi (all toro), salad, sake, and another 4 8-piece special rolls? I'm just a savage I guess, and for anyone like me please make sure to check this place out if you make out to Breckenridge.
(4)Chuck K.
Started with edamame, little too cold for me, then to sushi & sashimi combo, each of the chefs selections were very good, then a spider and California roll, I have been eating sushi for 20 years now, this place is very good and the go to place per the locals
(4)Heidi E.
So we heard this place was good. Got there at 930 Saturday night. They closed at 10. Sat down people were eating and the waiter came over And told us they were closed. REALLY? We were so ready for sushi getting ready to drop some money and a to go order. What a bunch of idiots!!!
(1)Chris B.
Tetsuo imports the highest quality sashimi. Tuna belly, salmon belly, Hawaiian yellowtail, scallops from Hokkaido - excellent.
(5)Jeff P.
Great sashimi here! They have the high end fatty tuna and everything is really good. It is expensive but worth it. They do not accept reservations and are walk in only. They open at 5pm and we got there at 530p and barely got seated. If you get there any later you will be looking at a bit of a wait.
(5)Renee L.
Loved the sushi.... I am always in search of good sushi and this place was AMAZING..I would recommend this place over and over again. The wait was a little long so the waitress took down our number so we could go walk around so we didn't have to stand around and wait.
(5)Marina Z.
The food is great. Service is awful. Ordered food with my boyfriend and he got his 20 min later. Asked the waitress for extra eel sauce twice just to finish my sushi when she brought it over.
(1)David F.
Good food but poorly managed kitchen. Dined with my wife and daughter - two of us were served our dinner, finished it, then waited 10 minutes for the third meal to be served. Udon noodles should not take so long especially at $29.
(2)Warren M.
Great sushi and worth the price. The service was good and the ambiance was nice. It is very busy so make sure you get there early if you want to be seated at the sushi bar. The only downfall is there could have been more items to choose from. The upshot is they have daily specials that are fantastic. Worth the trip......
(4)David T.
The miso soup with clams was really good and the flavored Tobiko was also excellent. The service was timely and it was a great experience overall. I live in San Jose where there are many excellent sushi restaurants and this one ranks right up there. It surprised me that such a good sushi restaurant would be in a small town in the middle of Colorado far from the ocean.
(5)Susan J.
Apart from them running out of the special tom yum soup which all four of us were looking forward to, and then being served cold miso that was overpowered by tofu and shiitake mushrooms, the sushi was absolutely delicious. Perfect bite size cut pieces, the freshest fish I've had in awhile and my husband and I have had some pretty amazing sushi before. We ordered the volcano roll, philly roll, and spicy tuna roll. All tasted wonderful!! The only other negative was that we waited for nearly an hour til we finally got a table, but they did call us to let us know our table was ready while we waited at the downstairs Brooklyn tavern and had a drink :)
(4)Scott B.
Mountain Flying Fish is a great spot in Breck for Sushi. Their sushi, Terriyaki chicken, etc are very good. Very good quality than what you'd think you would get in a mountain town. The atmosphere in the restaurant is subpar. If you're looking for an elegant sushi restaurant- this isn't the place but the food is excellent. Be prepared for a long wait if you haven't made reservations. This is 1 spot we always go to every time in Breck.
(4)Sean A.
Quality sushi in Breck? Absolutely. Fantastic spot and always great service, fish quality and fun times at the Sushi Bar. Awesome location as well.
(5)Lou R.
Awesome Sushi in the Mountains. I've had great sushi everywhere - LA, SF, NY & Tokoyo and this place is some of the best, freshest and well prepared anywhere. Treat yourself and you won't be disappointed!
(5)Jill S.
We love sushi, especially good sushi. I am on a gluten free diet, and often gluten free sushi is served without any sauces. Plain fish, rice, and vegetables without the sauces. The server and chefs went out of their way to be sure to substitute a gluten free version for (almost) anything on the menu. I had fried softshell crab gluten free, fried calamari, spicy scallop rolls, Dragon roll. It was all so delicious and fresh. The server was so helpful in helping us select delicious items off the menu. And the beautiful mountain scenery is gorgeous. I cannot recommend this highly enough ... regardless of if you eat gluten free or not!
(5)Sara A.
We were blown away by how fresh and how well prepared everything was (from cooked dishes to sushi). I have had the privilege of eating at some of the best and most renowned places in New York City, and this meal surpassed them all. We were fortunate enough to be with someone who knew the chefs and we had an Omakase ("Chef's Choice") meal, but if you order anything from what we had, you won't be disappointed. I posted a full review, with pictures, if you're curious: nycnomnom.com/2011/06/27…
(5)Daniel D.
I eat sushi weekly in Boston and I was worried about Rocky Mountain sushi place. Fear not!!! The meal was amazing. I am a tamago snob and theirs was home made, real and fresh. The scallop (Hotattegai) was super fresh, buttery and sweet. The Unagi was to die for. My only complaint is the Tobikko was green due to excessive wasabi and I wasn't expecting it that way. Strongly recommended. A++++
(5)Morgan M.
As an avid sushi lover, I have eaten at many Japanese restaurants. By far, this is the best sushi I have ever eaten-- very fresh and with wonderful flavor. The Dragon Special was INCREDIBLE, and I would recommend it to anyone. On a negative note, I've also had better service. My waiter only dropped by every so often (although this seemed to be typical of most waiters in Breckenridge), and the service was otherwise slow. But the sushi is well worth the wait.
(5)Jessica S.
Great sushi restaurant! I'm a local and have been several times now. The sushi is always wonderful! I'm just now leaving a review because the staff soo impressed me this evening with their customer service! They're all always so kind and friendly, and very understanding of my deathly sesame allergy. They accidentally made our takeout order with sesames, but remedied the situation like pros! They were all apologetic, remade it quickly, and even gave us a little gift certificate to apologize. I love when businesses properly handle a mistake. I will keep going back and give them my business because of the impressive service!
(5)Scott M.
This place is "ridiculously" yummy. Need I say more? Busy but so worth the wait. Dragon special is always amazing and I have never had spicy scallop roll but now I am hooked.
(5)Michael L.
Pleasantly surprised at some of the fresh fish that was served here. Namely the Aji which was flown from japan and the Uni which was also flown in from japan. I also ordered the scottish salmon belly which just tasted like regular salmon, and not the salmon belly that Im used to. Also the sushi rice they use is not warm, and they dont brush the soy sauce on each nigiri piece. The rice also comes apart while you are trying to grab it., which should never happen. But I have to realize im not in japan or NYC so I'll have to up their grade to compensate for the location. The rolls were decent, but Ive had better. In summary a very solid place for locals because it seems breck is in dire need of some real food.
(4)Robert M.
I had the Hawaiian yellowtail special, which was probably the best nigiri I've ever had. I could tell a lot of care went into every piece. Memorable, even for a sushi lover.
(5)Frank W.
Excellent sushi and good service. Definitly on the pricy side buy hey look around you are in a ski resort.
(4)Nicole W.
Kudos to Carolyn! We called 15 minutes before we were headed over with a group of 12!!! And they happily accommodated us! They are not open on Thanksgiving. Best rolls: Spicy Tuna Catterpillar - mmm Unagi - good Worth eating California Roll Dragon Spider Roll Rainbow Save your pennies: Mixed Dragon - sucked Volcano - ick Make sure if you go with the special that you check the price!! The Mixed Dragon was terrible, it was $20 and we ended up with 2 on the table! Our water was always filled, and i will definitely be back! It is unfortunate that they are not open on Thanksgiving. We tried to go last thanksgiving when we spent the holiday up there.
(4)Jason D.
Unfreakin' believably awesome sushi in the middle of the mountains. Extremely fresh fish and generous portions.
(4)john W.
We tried to eat here on Thanksgiving as is our tradition on Turkey day (we don't like turkey), but alas they were not open. With a huge group of friends at Oktoberfest however we did finally get to enjoy Sushi in the mountains, and it was awesome! the Unagi was incredible, the Spicy tuna, awesome. The only one we didn't enjoy was the Mixed dragon, a bit too out there for most of the group's tastes. Sadly is was also not cheap and we got 2, lesson learned, be bold on the less expensive pieces :) All in all an incredible time, and our server was the best! I was really worried with 12 slightly to really inebriated people at the table we'd be too much, but she handled us like a champ! If you're in Breck, and hankering for a great sushi meal, go to Mtn. Flying Fish, you won't be disappointed!
(5)Tom M.
Awesome sushi and nigiri. Our first night in town, my wife and I got caught in a hail storm so we ducked in to the Mountain Flying Fish. They were so accommodating to us and everyone else. What a fun time.
(4)Superfly T.
Fantastic fish for the mountains. Very friendly service, reasonable prices. All good!
(4)John H.
Freaking fantastic sushi and spicy tuna gyoza. Wow I'm a fan
(5)Jenna C.
So I think compared to the other sushi place in breck, this one is far better. But compared to sushi I've had (which is a lot), it wasnt all that special. Rolls were quite small for the price and a little bland. The staff was friendly though. I think breck needs a better sushi place to be honest!
(3)Susan T.
This was some of the best sushi we've ever had, and we've had it all over the country! We ordered an appetizer special and it was a little boring, and the wine was mediocre - so just stick with sushi because it's amazing! It is a little pricey, especially the nigiri pieces, but they're thick and generous portions. We will be visiting again next time we're in the area!
(5)Eric D.
One of the best sushi experiences Ive had. We sat at the bar and the owner took great care of us. After he could see that we were veterans with sushi and eat anything, he took us on a experience. He did some incredible things with the sushi. Fantastic scallops, yellowtale, monkfish liver..everything was amazing. For sure i will return when in Breckenridge.
(5)Leslie S.
My favorite restaurant in Breck, bar none! Ask Tet to make you his specialty and you'll be completely wowed. All rolls are are great and fish is always fresh. Don't bother with Nozawa in Dillon.
(5)Anthony B.
Overall- pretty good sushi, but definitely overpriced. Very busy, we sat at the sushi bar. It was nice to watch them make the sushi, but the service was not great & they did not tell us the specials. We ordered the tuna ahi & the dragon roll. The tuna ahi did not come nigiri as we ordered it, but it was good & fresh. The dragon roll was sloppy in presentation, but it tasted fine. The ginger was better than we have had at other sushi places. However, we felt that for what we got, it should have been about half the price.
(2)Eliot L.
Excellent sushi, sake, atmosphere, and chefs. The main chef looks like Mr. Meaghi. The boat of sushi is a must have for large groups.
(4)Dennis K.
We drove from Keystone to Breck just to eat here, and the 30 minute trip was worthwhile. The seating is a little snug, but the place feels cozy and welcoming. The staff were knowledgeable and attentive, and the food was excellent. We ordered a variety of rolls, and I had the chefs special - a sashimi ceviche salad that was excellent. Everything tasted fresh, and the price was reasonable for a resort town.
(4)Emily T.
Excellent sushi! The wa-fu ceviche was beautiful and really delicious.
(4)Karen P.
Best sushi you can get in CO! So yummy. Always a great time. I wish they had more room though, it gets crowded at night!
(4)Shiho F.
Call me a sushi snob and I rarely Yelp a 1 but honestly... I asked 3 locals where their favorite sushi spot was. All 3 answered Mtn. Flying Fish. Great I thought. Uh not so much. I enjoyed 2 things here. The Kurosawa bottle of sake that I had on my own and the nicely blanched asparagus in my Asparagus Roll. The miso soup was so salty that it was still harsh after adding hot water. The veggie tempura was a bunch of onion rings. I got to enjoy half a shitake mushroom and one Shiso (oba) leaf. The tekka wasn't bad but the rice was tough and rough and the sesame seeds weren't toasted. Felt like they borrowed them from a sesame bagel (but those are usually toasted). The kicker is that the service was super slow. I know they meant well, I'm just glad that the locals keep them busy. They seem like good people. Saying that, it was closing day so I can understand why the quality of food wouldn't be as good as an average day.
(1)Erica R.
If this place was in Austin, where I live, eating there would be a weekly occurrence. The fish was beautiful, fresh, and delicious - in fact, it's some of the best fish I've had at a sushi restaurant, and I've been to the best of the best. At Mountain Flying Fish, I was truly impressed. We ordered the caterpillar roll, smoked salmon, spicy scallop roll, halibut belly and several others and enjoyed every bite. Also, definitely try the redbean icecream bonbons - they come wrapped in a soft, sweet jelly-like rice paper and are an absolutely TASTY way to wrap up your meal.
(5)Cara P.
Horrible!
(1)joel m.
One of the best restaurants in Breck without a doubt. We've eaten here several times and it's always been outstanding. I know good sushi, having lived in LA and traveled quite a bit in Asia and this place is good. The fish is fresh, the preparation is top rate, and the service is right on. If you're in Breck and in the mood for fish, this is the place to go. I recommend the specials. Tonight we had the Hawaiian Yellowtail which was outstanding and the Squid salad which was one of the best squid dishes I've ever had. Whole squid, fried and slices with an awesome dipping sauce served with greens. Wow, so good. And the bill wasn't that bad. I've read some reviews on here complaining about the prices. Just be selective about what you order and don't go overboard on mega rolls. Some nigiri, agadashi tofu, softshell crab appetizer (yum), couple specials, beer and saki and a cucumber roll for the kids and you're good to go. Enjoy!
(5)Becky S.
One of the best sushi places for the mountains! We went there on the last day before it closed till opening day(of the ski resort.) Despite their vacation started the next day, we had awesome service and food. The locals discount made it even better! PS- the cucumber salad rocks!
(4)Winston C.
I am not a sushi expert, but certainly not a beginner, I will say that this place was great. The fish was fresh and rolls were delicious. It is very crowded and loud and the wait can be significant- is it worth it? YES!
(4)Jessica G.
Pretty tasty specials, for Breckenridge, I was pleasantly surprised about how delicious and fresh everything was. Service was great!
(4)MELINDA M.
My husband, 2 kids, and I visited Mountain Flying Fish twice in a four day trip to Breckenridge. The spicy scallop rolls were very good. I would stay away from the white tuna, it tastes a little on the fishy side. The first night we ate there, the service was great. The second night, we had about a 45 minute wait and service once seated, was less than desirable. The food was worth the wait and because they were so busy, we understood that the service would suffer. Over the two meals, we enjoyed teriaki chicken skewers (for the kids, but we tasted and they were good), fried veggies (which included some surprise veggies, such as pumpkin), spicy scallop rolls(my favorite), crunchy salmon rolls, fried shrimp rolls, yellowtail carpaccio (REALLY GOOD-we orded this twice), maguru (red tuna) nigiri, sake (salmon) nigiri, and escolar (white tuna) nigiri. The nigiri had a slight wasabi taste. Price was average. We spent $141 the first night, my husband and I each having a glass of sake. We spent about $130 the second night, each having a beer.
(4)christine b.
A gem in the mountains....This place is awesome!!! The fish is always fresh and delicious!! The sushi chefs reccomendations are the best! Treat yourself and go mountain flying fish :)
(5)W J.
Was crowded but cozy. We were only two people so getting a table wasn't hard for us. Larger parties may have to wait a while (they don't take reservations). We are veggie-only and there were decent options. Also good variety of sake and Japanese beers. Food was great.
(4)Meridith H.
I was hesitant to eat sushi in a mountain town, but my parents' friends (who are locals) swear by this place so we gave it a try. Service is super friendly and more prompt that most laidback joints. The prices were a little high, but it is Breckenridge and the sushi was wonderful. The king crab roll was delicious...a must...and the tuna carpaccio was tasty as it came on top of a salad with pine nuts. The spicy tuna was also quite good. All in all, a good experience for mountain sushi.
(4)kristin p.
I went here on a 'date' the other night after answering what seemed like 20 questions from the guy about which side of the county I want to dine at and what I was interested in having. Now, I live around the corner from one of the better sushi restaurants in denver, and I spent three years in the 'sushi-in-strip-malls' mecca that is LA, so when he picked Mountain Flying Fish as the place to woo me, I was curious... It's relatively unassuming (on the top floor of La Cima which is Breck's answer to a shopping mall -- complete with all the touristy places that you can gather), and is clean but not fancy and busy but relatively quick to be seated. After a looooong time to get menus (not a worry though, conversation moved easily), we settled on purple haze sake, a sashimi combo, two rolls (spicy tuna & salmon skin), and edamame. It was more than enough food (although the guy admitted that he had pizza a few hours before, and I was attempting to hold back from my usual raw fish gorge-fest as to not embarrass myself) and had good flavor and freshness. The combo was well presented (even mix of obscure and traditional) and I appreciated that it had more smaller pieces rather than 2 larger cuts of each fish. As we were seated at the bar, we got to watch Damian (pretty sure of his name, but he's the tall, long-haired, snowboarding chef) create and then torch some crazy, badass special roll for the couple next to us. All of the sushi chefs seemed more than competent and very eager to create tasty dishes. Anyway, I'd definitely go back... especially if it's for another date :)
(4)Josh G.
We came in on a Friday night and there were only a couple seats at the sushi bar, which was okay with us. The people we sat next to were very friendly as was the staff. The fish was very fresh and we loved every bite. Especially the Escolar Sashimi! We'll definitely be going back.
(4)JoJami T.
Wow! Sushi was so fresh and yummy! Very friendly staff too!
(5)Donna C.
I have a house in Breckenridge and go there frequently. My brother's family comes once a year for a week of skiing/snowboarding and we have a tradition of going to Mountain Flying Fish (actually we have been going since it was "Sushi Breck" in the early 90s). After a starter of yummy edamame, we are always amazed at the quality of fish up in the mountains of Colorado...and always have a great experience at MFF. The basic nigiri and sashimi is fantastic - clean and fresh. This trip (January 2011) we were lucky enough to be there on a night when they had belly tuna. It was melt-in-your-mouth good. The rolls are good for the younger crowd and always fresh and tasty. The teriyaki and tempura is great as well. They have an extensive sake menu, but that's not our thing...so we just enjoy the "big" Sapporo. :) Finally, the owners and staff are super friendly and we are always glad to go back.
