Regrettably, my recent visit to Madame Ushi left me with a sense of unease, despite their evident efforts. While the staff tried hard to make us feel welcome, there was an underlying feeling of discomfort throughout our meal.
The astronomical prices on the menu left us scratching our heads, as there seemed to be no logical explanation for such exorbitant pricing. Unfortunately, the food failed to justify these sky-high costs.
Expecting culinary excellence to match the price tag, we were sorely disappointed by the subpar quality of the dishes. Each bite left much to be desired, further adding to our disappointment.
In the end, while the restaurant's efforts were commendable, the overall experience fell short of expectations. For those seeking a satisfying dining experience in Aspen, I would recommend exploring other options that offer better value for money.
P. S.:
Nevertheless, for those seeking a visually stunning dining setting that transports them to the streets of Japan, Madame Ushi may still hold appeal.

Madame Ushi is an absolute must-try when coming to Aspen. The nigiri was fresh and delicious, and the wagyu meats were of extremely high quality… top-notch restaurant quality products make this place ELITE. The atmosphere was amazing, customer service was impeccable, and the overall attention-to-detail in the restaurant is unmatched by any other spot in Aspen. Definitely worth a visit!!

Came into ushi late night and was blown away, great music throughout the night! Tello was very informative about the menu and set our whole meal up! Then he suggested we go to gala where we met Kyle who is the manager and he took us for a night of fun! Great vibes, food and music.
Inauthentic and not even tasty. Don't expect true, high-quality sushi or Asian food. The sushi was covered with ingredients that make no sense, and the fish smelled like it had turned. They also serve steaks that are ~$200, and while I didn't order them, they looked unappetizing and stale.
The ambiance is fine but over-the-top and arguably a bit offensive.
If you want a scene and to overpay for average food, this is your spot. If you want high-quality food and a good experience, look elsewhere.

Went for the AGSW Gala event. While it looked like an open inclusive fun event, it was more of a Caribou Club “certain crowd” event. I went by myself (I was in casual attire as I’m still waiting for my bags from LAX lol): No line at all and snubbed by the doorman inviting me to grab a drink down the street and see if space opens up inside. Mind you no line and no one behind me. Doorman’s message was clear that it’s for select AGSW ppl. While that’s understandable in Aspen just make it clear on the AGSW calendar or indicate a dress code or for younger crowd only and give an age limit.
