Quite a good recommendation.
Mori, a Japanese place, is one block from Coors Field. Their sushi is not
surpassed in Denver, and their othe rJapanese food is very good. Lunch
specials are well priced. They are between 20th and 21st on Market.
Say hi to Go-san, the sushi chef, who also runs the kitchen. Their prices
won't kill you for dinner, either.
The immediate area isn't exactly a restaurant wasteland, but it's full of
"upscale" places, chains and sports bars.
Akebono, upstairs at Sakura Square between 19th & 20th and between Lawrence
and Larimer, is also quite good, but slightly more expensive. They offer
some Korean and Chinese dishes as well as Japanese.
