14 Best Japanese Restaurants in Aurora

“Porklet has been one of our most tried and true restaurants since we moved to Aurora last year. My only complaint is that the katsu sauce is a bit weird / overly sweet - but everything else is so yummy and the service is always quick. Plus they have some of the best Korean style fried chicken around!“

“This is hands down the best ramen in the Denver Metro area. We drive almost 45 minutes from Lakewood to Aurora for this ramen, specifically the black garlic tonkatsu. It is absolutely incredibly out of this world. The creamy rich broth with little bits of black garlic yearns to be topped off with the course, slightly sweet chili paste smeared on the side of the bowl. This paste is not to be confused with their stunning chili oil that they'll bring to you on request, or at the press of the button.That brings me to service, simple, efficient, at the push of a button service. Literally. You can push one button for ordering, one for Chile oil, and there were a few others, but that said, you rarely have to push the button because the attentive staff is usually there before you even think to.This place is not fancy, but its charming. I saw a handsome couple on a date there tonight, and if a potential partner brought me here, I'd think, damn they know what's important I life.(Good food, if you're wondering.)“

“Fantastic food and service!“

“I have been searching for a classic Chinese food spot with CLASSIC PRICES (if you know what I mean) the staff are very friendly! Ordered the steak hibachi and chicken dumplings it was very hot and fresh when I picked it up! It doesn’t get better than this! They have themselves a new customer!“

“I’ve been coming here for a couple of years now and I’m never disappointed. The fried rice is the best fried rice i’ve ever had! I always get the hibachi chicken with extra yum yum sauce, and it’s so flavorful, well seasoned, and delicious. If you like hibachi style food you’ll love it here. The restaurant itself is clean, service is quick, and friendly.“

“Asuka Ramen has been a longtime favorite of ours, and we were excited to see a new restaurant closer to us in Aurora. The inside of the restaurant is cute, small dining area and they even have a little bar for you to sit at as well. The staff greeted us quickly and were patient with us while looking over the menu. Now onto the food, our go-to entree is the Spicy Tonkotsu Ramen. It is spicy but not super intense, and has really great flavor. The Spring Rolls were nothing special but taste like your standard veggie spring roll. The Lychee Boba Juice was good as well. The DTC location has Pork Belly Buns and we were disappointed to see the new location does not have this on the menu. My favorite thing about this restaurant besides the ramen is how they prepare your to-go orders. They separate your broth and noodles so that your noodles do not get soggy. We cannot wait to go back and get more ramen, highly recommend this spot!!“

“Finally, an authentic Japanese Izakaya in our neck of the woods. The depth of the menu (himachi collar, miso cod, yakitori, and the only place I know of in Aurora that has natto), and the amount of work they put into the place to create a really fine Japanese ambiance make it a place worth revisiting often. The happy hour is a great deal too!“

“Amazing food, great prices and I had leftovers! I ordered the eggrolls & crab Rangoon as well as the beef and broccoli. The crispy noodles were great too! Highly recommend when you want Asian food. Ordered online and picked up.“

“Their doughnuts are so delicious. They change the flavors constantly and every single time... They're delicious. I absolutely love coming here, and I love that they continue making the doughnuts all throughout the day (they don't run out super early in the morning). The prices are just a little cheaper than Lamar's, but I love these doughnuts so much more than your typical doughnut. I would highly suggest stopping here, and I would absolutely go out of my way to come grab a doughnut here (have done so a couple times, actually). They sell their doughnuts in 3, 6, or 12 counts.Update: I wouldn't recommend their boba tea, or at least the Thai tea option. It's a very thick syrupy goop and it tastes nothing like actual Thai tea... It was more of a brown color than orange.“

“This place rocks!! They make amazing chicken hibachi and it's perfect every time:)p.s. If you're doing take out, just stop by to order instead of online... it doesn't take long for them to make things and grubhub rips off restaurants just for the service of online ordering:(“

“We have been dining here since they opened and have not been disappointed. The food is fresh and tasty and the service is friendly.“

“This is my all time fav sushi place. We do the all you can eat everytime. Off their whole menu I think there is only one sushi roll I don’t like. The service is great, great spot for individual dinning or families, kid friendly and staff is always so nice.“

“one of our go to places for Sushi. very happy repeat customers and the service is excellent.“

“I’ve been going to this place for the past couple of years. Most of the time their food is on point. I ordered an egg drop soup today and the consistency felt off. I saw that some of the eggs were a bit raw. I love the rest of the food, but no more egg drop soup for me.“
