Echo Japanese Restaurant, Greeley

Pretty good Japanese restaurant in Greeley, right across the street from the University of Northern Colorado. They have a pretty decent selection of your typical Japanese restaurant items; nothing to exotic though. My favorite is the tempura dinner plate which comes with about 5 large pieces of shrimp tempura and a good sized plate of vegetable tempura (batter fried shrimp & veggies). The tempura batter is light and crunchy. They also serve clear Japanese soup, which is a nice change since most restaurants serve miso soup rather than this version. I tried some of their sushi, but that wasn't the greatest and the price wasn't outstanding either. If you're looking for Sushi better to go to Sushi 1 on West 10th Street. Overall you're looking at about $15 per person for dinner. They also serve alcohol and seemed to have a decent selection of liquor and beer. The restaurant is small and quaint, so it can get crowded on the weekends. Go for lunch or dinner on a weeknight if you like privacy. If dining alone, you can sit at the bar, which is also very comfortable. They have a small parking lot in the back of the restaurant as well so you don't have to park on the street. The restaurant itself is built in a converted home so it feels as though you're dining in someone's living room.
