The gluten free pizza is the best I have ever had. I love that the chicken strips are gluten free too. The brownie is to die for I absolutely love this place and staff is always nice and friendly.

My Salad was fresh and plentiful! Gluten free options are great. The employee who rung me out was very helpful in choosing an entree and was genuinely enthusiastic about customer service (I didnt catch his name but the receipt read "M. Zambrano". He should offer a training course in professional customer service and satisfaction to businesses lacking it. This location is very clean and offers an outdoor patio. Will return :)

Ordered online tonight and drove through the snow to get dinner from Garbanzo. We went back inside to ask for fries and check on the pita. We were told the pita was in our plates when in fact it was not. Paid extra for gluten free pita even. Not in the bag or in our plates. I ordered tahini sauce on mine because I am allergic to dairy and cannot have other sauces. I got home and found dairy-riddled cilantro sauce glazing my dinner. Normally, I wouldn't be very upset but this is not my first poor experience with this company or with ordering online with them.

We order delivery from Cuba Cuba often and usually have an awesome experience. Tonight however, we were missing an item and one item was wrong. I called the restaurant and figure out how to fix it. Even though stuff like this typical has to be routed through the third party app we used to order, the manager, Eric, bent over backwards to make it right for us in a busy Friday night, including following up with us once the corrected order was on its way. Very impressive service! And of course we LOVE the food. Great GF options for the celiac crowd.

I can honestly say this is the first sushi spot in Denver that has made me rethink my favorite since 2018 (when Uchi first opened) — and being a huge lover of sushi, I take that statement very seriously. Hana Matsuri the 3rd of the family-owned Hana Matsuri locations in Colorado, but it is distinctly different, both in atmosphere and food. Under the direction of renowned Chef Duy Pham (with 30+ years of experience in Colorado restaurants) — this spot has truly blossomed. The standout is that this location offers a phenomenal omakase (of 20-ish creative pieces) for just $150/person! Think anything from the most delectable flame-seared toro, to monkfish liver, to uni & caviar on oysters. PRO TIP: you must call 1-2 days in advance to request the omakase menu, and it’s only offered at 6 or 8pm. Even if you don’t come for the omakase, the other options here are AMAZING. I’ve been shoveling sushi in my face for many years, and there are fish being flown in fresh here that I’ve never even heard of. For example, I had flying fish (tobiuo) for the first time! Not to be missed are also the aburi options (a specialty of theirs). Aburi means lightly-seared with a flame, and I think it’s the best way to keep fish raw, but bring out more flavor. Toro tuna and salmon belly are the obvious choices (pictured), but there’s also lobster, scallop, escolar, and more. Even for non-fish people, there’s something delicious here. Try the hot rock — which comes with an option of kobe beef, truffle duck, lamb chop, or chicken tenders. The fluffy molten chocolate “cake” definitely made the “worth it” list, despite my gluten intolerance. Must try!

Staff was friendly even while busy. I was here NYE '23 around 5:30P, so they got quite busy in the duration of my time there. I sat at the bar, as I had no reservation - no problem. I had a food and matched wine course for $125 and it was good. The only thing that was not so good was the Chocolate Cake made with gluten-free flour that was so dry as to barely be able to choke it down. I'm not a big fan of gluten-free, and this is an example of why.

Great place, locally owned. Lovely people every time I go in. Really filling vegan options. Two celiac friendly gluten free options on the menu as well, and many other gluten free options outside of the celiac-level restriction.
