Sushi by SYC occupies a counter-only room on South Colorado Boulevard in Denver, where Chef Min and the kitchen prepare Edomae sushi to order. Dinner runs two ways: an 11- or 16-course omakase built around that day's ingredients, or an à la carte menu of sushi and Japanese plates ordered at your own pace. Both are served from the same kitchen during the same dinner hours.
Seating is at the counter, so each piece is cut, seasoned, and handed over as soon as it is ready rather than plated ahead of time. The menu is in English, and staff are used to fielding questions about the fish or preparation while you eat. There is no fixed printed omakase menu — the lineup shifts with seasonal availability rather than following a set rotation.
The restaurant is open Wednesday through Sunday from 4:00 PM to 10:00 PM, and closed Monday and Tuesday. There is no lunch service. The listed booking channel is by phone at (720) 780-9999, and the restaurant's own site also links out to an online reservation system for dinner seating. Omakase seats are described as highly recommended to book ahead, while à la carte dining is available to walk in during regular hours, space permitting.
Pricing sits at the top of the restaurant's own tier classification (Luxury), though no specific menu prices are published here — confirm current omakase pricing directly with the restaurant when booking.
