This is not a traditional sushi restaurant, hence the name. The ingredients were first rate, and appeared in interesting combinations. Our teenage son has celiac, and our waitress was excited to make suggestions for great dishes for him to try. The chef also switched up preparation so he could have one of his favorite gluten-free meals ever. There were three... more

We picked this place to eat the last night we were in Durango. We walked in and it was packed! They have little tables everywhere, so much that you can't walk between some of the tables. We ordered sushi, and it took forever to get our meal while we watched people who must have known the owners get seated and... more

Lured by the positive reviews here, and because I'm a sushi fan, we decided to try this restaurant on our last night of vacation in the Durango area. I should have turned around and left as soon as we walked in, the loud pumping music was a turn-off. But eager to have some tasty food we took a couple of... more

Get there during Happy Hour for the best prices 5 - 6:30 pm. For desert don't miss the Tempura Cheesecake!! more

It's very pricey, if you... more

Great vibe--great staff--AMAZING food!! more

My family dined here on 30 July. We have never had sushi before and felt like trying something different. After being seated we were immediately overwhelmed by the menu but fortunately our waitress was able to help us out. My wife and I started with a mixed green salad, and fortunately we were advised to split it between us. The... more

East by southwest has the best sushi i have ever had. All the dishes are so creative and different, some even have apples in them! A bit crowded, but worth it! more

I have eaten in sushi restaurants all over the US and East by Southwest is my favorite restaurant of all time! I always order sushi or sashimi dishes with the featured fish, anything "Tiradito", squash blossoms when they are in season, and the fatty salmon. All of the special roll creations are fabulous! Great place for a romantic dinner, a... more
