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 opportunity to visit this fine spot and it was well worth it. The flavors and diverse menu had a solid mix of traditional and new perspectives. I'm definitely going back. Thank you team! It was perfect. E“

“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!“

“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.“

“Fantastic food and atmosphere!!!“

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

“The sushi was so good and an amazing selection. The staff was kind and attentive“

“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!“

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

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

“This place has been a neighborhood sushi joint for quite sometime and went through some times where their service was not that great, but lately we could not be more pleased with the service and food. For example, today, the server was working so hard to ensure everyone has a joyous evening and a great meal. Our family appreciates this restaurant and wishes them many successful years.

Their takeout is awesome, too.“

“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“

“This is my first sushi after vacationing in Japan and I will definitely be going back. The tuna sashimi and fish was so fresh and tasted good! The service was amazing, they filled my tea right when I was thinking it was getting low every time. The fruit dessert at the end was such a wonderful touch and the fruit tasted so fresh and delicious. I also dined alone near the end of the day and they didn't rush me at all. In fact they told me to take my time and enjoy my tea at the end. I did NOT expect this good of sushi but I couldn't be happier with this experience. I'm telling my friends about this place for sure!“

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

“Three words: truffle salmon sashimi

I will think about this dish and come back just for it.

Kerri was amazing, all her recommendations were amazingly on point and the AGM, Lennon, checked on her staff and customers. I have to come to this area for work all the time - so I am glad I found this place!!

For reference, the Itchy Salmon and Cherry Bomb were also very very good.

The Saketini was the perfect starter drink.

I will be back and I am starting with Truffle Salmon!“

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

“Fresh, delicious, creative“

“the number one Japanese sushi restaurant in Denver.“

“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!!!!“

“The sushi chefs were phenomenal. My order was assigned to a chef so talented! Every dish was amazing.. just the right balance of flavor in every bite.. Kirin beer goes really well with sushi.. everything was so good! Highly recommend!! 🩷🔥“

“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.“

“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 used to frequent this bar when it was El Tejano and we’re pretty worried when it closed. We came back to Con Safos for the first time after it’s opening and we love it!! A great atmosphere with AMAZING food prepared to order. We can easily say the new owners have surpassed our expectations and are excited to hopefully see this location become successful over the summer.“

“You ever have go out for sushi but wish you had some greens that really compliment your meal? Okinawa's black pepper tuna salad isn't a lot of greens, but comes with a generous portion of tuna that melts in your mouth. Really a deal anytime anywhere but it just fits well with rolls, sushi and sashimi. Superb service. Friendly folks.“

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

“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“

“Unique fusion restaurant in a residential area. Patty is a sweet lady who originally started this as a sushi restaurant but lost her sushi chef so she continued it to a fusion Thai and ramen shop. It serves some ramen dish that literally mix Thai curry. But they also serve traditional Thai and Japanese offerings. Curries are legit hot. The decor and ambience is very modern and the place is very clean. The area where this is located is a very nice residential area.
She told me that some people have issue understanding her because of her accent and she sometimes uses google translate with her phone to say in Thai what she intended in English. She told me some people sometimes are mad due to communication issues. Please people be nice she’s only been here a few years.

Dietary restrictions: Lots of options.

Parking: Well lit and very clean.

Wheelchair accessibility: Ver large spaces between tables.“

“Great drinks & food. Even better service. Try the High-proof old fashioned & Foraged Roll 👌🏽“

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

“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.“

“Absolutely loved the food here. Service was also friendly and prompt. I have been looking for a great neighborhood spot that doesn’t break the bank and this is definitely it. Great portions on the nigiri and perfectly fresh. This is my new go to for sushi that could easily rival Uchi or Temaki Den on quality of fish.“

“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!“

“If you're in the DU area, I feel Tatsu is a must try! The food was great, everyone enjoyed what they got. My kimchi ramen was killer! It's not a large place and it was filling up quickly during our visit. Looking forward to heading back when in the area!“

“Do not sleep on this adorable sushi place. It has everything you are looking for in a sushi place to grab a quick bite for lunch or have a nice outing with friends. They have delicious muscles, a tasty Philly roll and edamame that is freshly steamed and salted. I have been looking for my go to sushi joint since moving to the Denver metro area and this is it. Prices are reasonable, don’t come too hungry, you might almost not eat all the food you want to eat when you see the selection!“

“there is only 1 way to describe this place which would be absolutely amazing. the flavor was on point!!! the restaurant was clean staff was friendly. I can't wait to go back an try more!“

“We went for bowls of Ramen to ease our holiday coughs and make the colder weather easier. Excellent ramen, both regular and spicy tonkatsu. Broth, noodles, pork belly were everything we wanted. Home made gyoza worth the order. We'll be back.“

“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!“

“The entrance is a little hard to find, due to the main stairs being blocked off, but if you go around the building by the dumpster there is a hidden staircase. As soon as you walk in, the lights are down low, but the atmosphere is very familiar, and calm. The service is excellent, i was treated with love and care, and the food was most definitely made with love. The food was more than delicious, and i love how the woman always checks up on the costumers. Great restaurant for a first date, or a calm meal and conversation. 5 stars.“

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

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

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

“The food was an array of quality. The beef tartare was insanely delicious. I wish I had more

The nigiri offered felt over priced. I'm not sure if some of the offerings were what brought it up, but some cuts tasted amazing, some just felt like run of the mill. This wouldn't have been an issue if the "market price" wasn't so high. I'd love to have seen a breakdown. The nigiri pricing seemed way higher from other, less bougie feeling, sushi spots around and I didn't feel like each piece reflected that with the flavor.
Also $8 for Asahi beer. Had to have been something about the price of brick and mortar lol. $8 is a tall boy elsewhere

As others have stated. Service is extremely slow. My partner and I waited probably 20 minutes after we got drinks for someone to come by. They tried taking our order as soon as we were seated and then didn't come by again until 20 minutes later.

The atmosphere... It was nice. It was moody and modern and I felt like it was a good date environment and place to dress up. There's two different sides. The front of the restaurant is bright and casual and the back, where I sat, was modern and had some clubby beats and music playing.

Not a place I'd go often but the tartare has me not eliminating it from a revisit“

“Loved this!! My first time in, our waiter was so helpful and guided along a delicious adventure. We started with the cucumber salad SO GOOD. Then we got the spicy gyoza, loved the sauce!!! For dinner we split a bowl of ramen and some sushi. Everything was so delicious and only $42. I will be coming back“
