About

Izakaya Amu invites you to savor an authentic Japanese dining experience in Boulder’s bustling Pearl Street Mall. This charming restaurant features a cozy and romantic atmosphere, perfect for both solo diners and intimate gatherings.

Specializing in izakaya-style small plates and fresh sushi, the menu boasts unique offerings not commonly found elsewhere. While the highly-rated selection of tea and drinks adds to the appeal, the service can be a bit inconsistent, and some dishes have received mixed feedback regarding freshness.

Reservations are recommended, especially during peak dinner hours, so gather your friends and immerse yourself in a taste of Japan!

Review by Alexandra Lebsack

October 10, 2024

Izakaya Amu provided a unique twist on the typical sushi experience. With a warm, upmarket atmosphere, we felt instantly at home. We ordered a selection of small plates, and the grilled eggplant dish truly stole the show - it was heavenly! The service was friendly as they guided us through the authentically curated menu. Our tea selection was impressive, adding a lovely touch to the meal. While our food took some time, it was genuinely worth the wait. A delightful spot for a cozy dinner... 🍣
