50 Best Sushi Bars in Denver

“This was the best sushi I have ever tasted in my entire life. I have never been to Japan but I can only imagine that it tastes like this. The yellow tail sashimi was AMAZING. It was so buttery and smooth and it tasted so amazing. I can still remember how incredibly it tasted and my mouth is watering thinking about it.“

“Soooo delicious! Just had one of my best meals out in a long while! Every item was delicious and save room for the fried milk dessert — trust me! Plus a great Manhattan with Japanese whiskey“

“I had the pleasure to eat at this fine establishment over the weekend with some great people! Let’s just say Sushi Den do not disappoint for my fist experience and will definitely be back. Everything was awesome from the cocktails to the Nigiri and high end Whisky!“

“Fantastic food and atmosphere!!!“

“Best sushi I’ve ever had. We were traveling from out of state & the only thing I have to complain about is there aren’t any locations outside of Denver, ruined all other sushi for me. Can’t wait to come back.“

“Kizaki is truly exceptional. Every course was carefully thought out, balanced, and incredibly fresh. Each dish built on the last, creating one of the most memorable dining experiences I’ve had this year.

The space is intimate and elegant, tucked inside Margot, and the service matches the precision of the food. The wine pairing complemented the meal beautifully.

This is Japanese dining at its finest—refined, thoughtful, and worth every penny.“

“Our waiter was spectacular and was an ultimate holiday treat .“

“We love Kobe An and have been patrons going back 30 years since they were in Lakewood. Marco has done an amazing job with the new -er location and his staff is well trained. His newer sushi chefs are doing a fantastic job which leaves him free to focus more on the front of the house. We told him tonight that the sushi is the best it’s been in the 30 years we’ve been going to his restaurants. The hamachi and mussels were outstanding, as were the rolls and cocktails. The new Kobe An is the real deal.“

“So excited to see that this venue will be hosting StageFluid and can't wait to come to these shows!!!! Sake Brewery??? Count me in!“

“Buen servicio! Comida deliciosa y muy típica sinaloense.“

“The food here was delicious. Also, the comedy show is so so good! This is a unique, fun place for dinner and a show.“

“Clean and inviting atmosphere! Friendly staff Great Chefs Beautiful and tasty food Reasonable prices Stop in if you’re nearby!!!“

“Absolutely delicious! Great sushi, fresh fish, and fantastic prices. The staff is friendly and amazing! So glad I found this place!“

“Fantastic place, you can't go wrong. The service is unmatched. The fish is very tender and fresh, especially if you follow the waiter's suggestions. They are very generous, as well. Rolls are well filled and flavorful, plus their special rolls are topped with cuts as well. You can get a large meal for two with drinks for around $100 out the door and will really feel you've got your money's worth. The decor is a bit strange, but it's kind of amusing and charming.“

“An absolute must-try! The speakeasy vibe makes the experience unforgettable.

We arrived early for the pre-dinner experience, and it’s worth it.

Every piece of sushi was curated with so much love and passion. You can taste the care and craftsmanship in every bite.

The cocktails were incredible. We couldn’t stop ordering them! The service is top-notch, casual yet elevated, vibey, and filled with staff who are genuinely passionate about what they do.

100% recommend, just read their emails so you don’t miss a thing!“

“It was soo good! We had a great combo of roles and the bbq chicken was amazing as well. Fast service and a great vibe“

“Some of the best sushi!!! Would recommend to anyone!! So many choices!! It’s on the pricy end but completely worth it!!!“

“Amazing sushi! We ate here twice on our vacation to Denver! 🥰🥰🥰“

“7/10. Air conditioned toilet, enough said. Just that.. the urinal is behind that right toilet stall door, which is slightly inconvenient.. having a door you pushed aside slowly greet your bum halfway taking a piss.

Anyways, food was good! Chinese operators serving Japanese, which.. is a lot more common than first expected here. Sashimi was fresh, though the lunch sashimi set doesn’t even come with a bowl of rice, which $4? That’s a bad indicator. Still, eel sushi was average but hit the spot.

Vibe was alright, not too crowded around 1pm. Spent about $40+ for the sushi, and sashimi lunch set - though you get a free salad or miso soup. A bit much for one person, for one meal. So don’t come expecting to be filled for cheap. You can probably get away with spending around $20 if you weren’t a hungry fella like I was that day.

Overall not too bad, but not good enough to warrant the journey to come all the way here, unless of course, I was already serendipitously nearby. Enjoy.“

“I’ve been coming here since 2014 we love this place prices are reasonable staff is super friendly, always fresh!“

“Incredible food. Amazing service. A perfect meal!!! Trust the waiters to bring you just the right dish. Perfection!“

“Fresh, delicious, creative“

“The fish was fresh and I felt like they were generous with the amount of fish that they gave, especially with the nigiri. They had a decent amount of options for non-fish eaters too which is hard to come by at most sushi restaurants. My only qualm was that the rainbow roll came with a chunk of crab versus the imitation crab that is usually comes with a rainbow roll but that was on me for not paying closer attention. Regardless if that, everything we had was great and our server was SO friendly and helpful.“

“Con Safos is an absolute gem and a must-visit! I stopped by during the holiday season, and the festive decor and fun holiday vibes instantly won me over. The seasonal drink specials were the cherry on top!

Holiday Drink Highlights:
White Christmas Spritz – Bubbly, fun, and interactive with the self-pour option!
Ho Ho Hoe's Don't Get Cold – A delicious cranberry vodka drink that felt like the holidays in a glass.

What We Tried & Loved:
Carne Asada Loaded Nachos – Perfectly crispy tortilla chips piled with tender steak, gooey cheese, pico de gallo, and sour cream. Total crowd-pleaser!

Chicken Flautas – These rolled tacos served in a cup were genius for a night at the bar, topped with fresh lettuce, tomato, and Cotija cheese.

Traditional Carnita Tacos – The street taco dream! Tender carnitas, cilantro, pickled red onions, and a salsa so good I wanted to take some home.

The combination of fantastic food, creative drinks, and lively ambiance makes Con Safos a place I’ll definitely return to. Highly recommend!“

“muy rico y el serbicio super rapido“

“The ramen is by far my favorite in town. The flavors stay Japanese but with a little twist but not obnoxiously different than traditional ramen. The sushi is really fresh and it's nice you can get a half bowl of ramen for a really good price and still have run for a little sushi. I recommend this place for takeout or door dash I have not dined in . If I could give them an extra star I would“

“The wife and I have had many dinners there! The staff is always welcoming and greets us with a friendly smile. The food is always next level and delicious. Definitely a must stop during the summer when you are able to sit outside and enjoy the beautiful stars and eating great food!! Thank you for always making us and our experience wonderful!!!!“

“I came here for lunch during work a few months ago and have since made it my regular lunch spot. The atmosphere is peaceful, the service is friendly and impeccable, and the food is affordable, delicious, and authentic. Aside from a large variety of every type of sushi you can imagine, they have a number of other dishes. As a vegan, they have plenty of options for me, and I highly recommend the sweet potato roll - it's my go-to. Stop by for a relaxing lunch break or for a lovely dinner, you won't regret it!“

“I love this place, it's inside a grocery store, but they have a nice cafe with free wifi. Lots of grab and go options, but the chef will make anything you want fresh while you watch. Best part is the prices, it doesn't cost an arm and a leg to get my sushi fix. Poke bowl is only $10 bucks.“

“Good place in general! I highly recommend this restaurant…“

“Amazing sushi in the Denver area and I live in arvada..I order from them through uber and it's always on time and FRESH. the CRAZY TUNA ALONG WITH THIS MAGICAL SPICY SAUCE IT COMES WITH IS THE BEST COMBO I have ever tasted at a sushi restaurant. I had to add the caps for the understanding of how amazing this dish is. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE FOR SUSHI HIGHLY ? ? ?“

“We came on a Sunday before going to DCPA for a 6:30 show. They offer happy hour all day on Sundays, and WOW was it a bargain AND delicious. My friend and I each had a cocktail, shared 5 rolls (the Lion King and the Eden were our faves) and dessert, and our bill was under $100. Everything was soooo good. Highly recommend ... we will be doing this again.“

“Such a cute spot, not loud or busy at all on a Friday evening at 5pm so it was perfect for a yap session with my best friend. Small and intimate place for sushi. I had the spicy girl roll and the rainbow roll and it was amazing. Pineapple jalapeño margarita was perfect 🍍🌶️🍹“

“We come here often because the food is delicious! And on top of that they are CU Buffs!!!“

“Love love loved our experience. Terrific value for money here. We had the sushi/sashimi platter for two and walked away fully sated. And it’s delicious 🤤 the miso soup, so often a throw away was splendid. We’ll be back and we’ll be bringing friends!“

“sushi train has a super nice staff. don't always judge a book by its cover. I've been going to this place for years and really love it. please check them out“

“All aspects 10/10; food taste, presentation, service, quality/freshness of ingredients, value for price, even the dishware were all perfection! I'm a traveler visiting from the East Coast and this was by far my best experience at a sushi place. We also got some ice cream on the house at the end! Kudos!! 👏🏻👏🏻“

“Great food with a real thai taste! The ramen is also great and cozy and blends well with the flavors of thai cuisine. Pad krat pao was really good and homey too. It's tucked away but I'm so glad I found through a friend's recommendation. Delicious casual food, very clean and the owner and her family are so sweet too.“

“We were given this recommendation from a friend who lives in Denver. The food was INCREDIBLE, the drinks were delightful, the food came out quickly, despite them being busy on NYE. The music was loud, the laughter along with the people having a great time, made the perfect downtown Denver experience. The ambience is beautiful, the lighting and decor really set the vibe. We would definitely go back on our next visit.“

“This restaurant serves truly authentic Hawaiian poke — the fish is flown in straight from Hawaii, and it shows in the freshness and flavor. Every bowl is thoughtfully prepared with high-quality ingredients and balanced seasonings. The owner and workers are genuinely kind and passionate about sharing real Hawaiian flavors, which creates such a warm, welcoming atmosphere. It’s rare to find poke this authentic outside the islands — a true gem for anyone who appreciates fresh, quality seafood.“

“10/10 experience. I was speechless! Every single thing we ordered was phenomenal and incredibly fresh. Best nigiri I’ve had in Denver. The rolls were also high quality and delicious. Our waiters were very kind and attentive. I can’t wait to go back.“

“We were staying in Cherry Creek and looked up Ramen places. Even though there were some nearer to our hotel, I looked up reviews and this place was highly recommended. We all ordered the Tonkatsu ramen and we all loved it! The pork had a lovely grill flavor and the egg was perfect because it wasn't to soy-saucy marinated. The noodles were classic and the bowl was huge! Service was friendly and fast. Highly recommend.“

“Highly recommend this place! The food is delicious and beautifully crafted, and the pricepoint is reasonable as well. This is a great healthy, vegan option and I will definitely be a regular!“

“This is the best hidden gem for sushi in Denver. I come in here as much as I can and show my friends this place every time we talk about having sushi. The server William is the absolute man, is super friendly and always provides 5 star service. Izu will always be my favorite!“

“Fanatic service! Great neighborhood restaurant. Check it out 🍣😘“

“Ordered delivery while staying in downtown hotel. Was prompt, a huge amount of food making it well worth the cost and absolutely delicious. We had the sesame chicken, Mongolian beef, chicken stir fried mei fun and the beef fried rice. None of the meals were over saturated with sauce and the meat was so tender. We loved all of it and I believe the leftovers will heat up nicely!“

“I ordered the sushi supreme and it was delicious!“

“the food was absolutely delicious! we had such a good time! loved our hibachi entertainment!“

“Food here is spectacular. The sushi is some of the freshest in town, and the cuts & presentation are special. There is usually just one chef and one waitress (I think maybe a husband and wife team, but I'm not sure), so don't expect it to be lightning fast. That said, it's worth the wait. Don't sleep on the vegetables. We got the garlic broccoli last time we were there and, despite it seeming to be very simple, it was once of the best dishes I have ever had. There are also some really interesting traditional style sushi that is unlike anything I've had at other local establishments. This is our go-to neighborhood spot when we don't feel like trucking across town to Sushi Den. Highly recommend 10/10.

My kids love the gyoza, tempura, and inari/tamago nigiris too!“

“I am addicted to this place. I am in love with their Shoyu ramen with soft boiled egg and their vegetable tempura. There are many options for other ramen as well as other Japanese dishes and sushi. It's small but cozy. I just love it!“
