Do not eat here
Posted bynicdy3on 10/10/2009
When I lived near Wash Park, I ate here quite often. My first indication that something was amiss was when my then-boyfriend and I ordered in the restaurant and one of the rolls came "garnished" with a giant HAIR. We sent it back, of course, but we figured that accidents happen. The second (and last) time something was amiss, I ordered delivery. Everything looked just fine, and I ate my food, only to feel something caught in my tooth after. I kid you not, there was ANOTHER giant hair, this time caught in my tooth!! Not long after, I saw a report on one of the Denver news stations that discussed the restaurants with the most health code violations. Fontana was either number two or three, right below the Crazy Asian on Downing, for such tasty violations as not storing food properly and insects. The sad thing was that this wasn't the first (or second) time Fontana had been on the bad side of the health inspectors. This was at least four years ago, and I've not been back. Seriously, avoid this place.
Not what I expected

So its very easy to get bad sushi, but when walk in to see a nice well set up establishment your worries tend to fade. That however was not the case however, when you find yourself getting up multiple times to request something from a waitress who neglects to check on paying customers. Fresh rice? Probably not. Fresh fish? Maybe, but a flat taste and lack of size is what you'll get. I've been a sushi fan for some time now and I can honestly say for the money spent, you sure don't get what you paid for. This was a huge waist
2nd Rate

I've eaten Fontana Sushi three times (once delivered), and each time was disappointed for one reason or another: a pedestrian selection of hand rolls (at best); food presentation & freshness below average; courtesty and professionalism often absent; the restaurant in dire need of redecorating. With so many other choices available including Sushi Den, Go Fish, Sushi Sasa, and Sushi Hai - each superior to Fontana Sushi in every category except maybe price - I have no reason to ever go back.
Could not even finish my meal

I bought 3 different rolls and they were all dry and tasted horrible. The have got to get fresh fish & rice. Signature sauces would be great instead of dry sushi, not everyone like just soy sauce.
Horrible Experience at Fontana Sushi
Posted byinfopersonon 11/5/2008
We placed an order for delivery for some pretty generic rolls last week... all of them tasted a bit off, and when we called to request a refund and/or to return our order. We were quickly turned away by both the person that answered the phone, and the manager, both insisting that "our taste was bad" and that we "didn't know good taste." We were offered no refund, or recourse for the $40 we wasted, and subsequently tossed into the garbage disposal. Sorry- I eat Japanese food 3x/week and have been for the past decade, probably spent over 6 weeks in Japan in recent years, and, well, consider myself pretty qualified to determine if Japanese food tastes ok. I found the food at Fontana gross, and the service simply unacceptable. Not only do I not recommend this place, but I'll be sure to share my bad experience with everyone I know... Thanks!
