“We walked in without a reservation on a Sunday and waited at most 10 minutes to sit at the bar. I noticed a group of people who had been waiting a bit were offered complementary drinks. When we got to our seats, the bartender took us through the menu. My partner is vegan and there was a separate vegan/vegetarian menu. Our first bite was a simple avocado sashimi. So simple yet the flavors were so complex and delicious. We ordered about one of everything on the vegetarian menu and were not disappointed. The vegan dessert was a chocolate mousse bar with oat cookie crumble and tahini ice cream. Super delicious. Overall an ambient vibe with a crowd pleasing variety and excellent service.“
“Sushi is one of my favorite forms of food. I did not expect to have the best sushi I've ever had in Denver. But on a recent stay in RiNo, my wife and I tried out Temaki Den. And the experience was amazing. First, the hostess was phenomenal. Amazing service. Went out of her way to improve our experience. Second, we went with the omakase to try and experience as many things as possible. Third, the nigiri and temaki is amazing. We went to a Michelin Star rated restaurant the night before, and while they was great... this experience was better. There wasn't an item served that wasn't lower than a 8/10. And MOST of the items were 9-10/10. To be honest, it didn't make sense to me. I've watched documentaries about sushi and how important fresh fish is... so how Temaki Den is able to get this quality is beyond my understanding. But it's nothing short of amazing. The ambience is probably the weakest aspect of the restaurant. It's not bad, by any means, but it's not "luxury." The restaurant is located in the middle of a mall-like shopping area. That wasn't a big deal to us, but if you need an "elevated" environment to eat at, this may not be for you. But the service and the food is outstanding and this is probably my favorite spot in Colorado. My thanks to everyone who works here for giving us a fantastic anniversary experience!“
“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!“
“I first heard of Wellness Sushi when they sold their products at Nooch Market (RIP), but never had a chance to try it until last night. I loved everything I ordered, Krunchy Krab, Ohnagi Roll, and Love in the Edo. I can't wait to go back again!“
“There are sushi restaurants, and then there’s Hapa. I went here for weekend happy hour lunch and enjoyed some delicious and delightfully named rolls, miso soup, and tea. Tommy, our server, was super attentive and prompt and charming. Would gladly give Hapa more of my money ?“
“Dewy was amazing. Knowledgeable, conversational and made the experience worthwhile. From the managers to staff everyone was attentive and we had a unique experience from the creative sushi to deserts. All made in house, fresh with a special touch we haven't see elsewhere. Highly recommend. Pricing is $$$ for this experience.“
“Great patio space for nice days. We went on Sunday later in the afternoon and there were plenty of open tables. We enjoyed fresh fish and a flavorful roll. I drank an iced and my husband got the margarita. My only complaint was that the margarita seemed small due to the glass being filled up just halfway. The restaurant is in a fantastic area! Definitely recommend visiting to eat/drink.“
“Always friendly, always knowledgeable, Billy’s staff does a phenomenal job every time to make sure all guests have a memorable experience. This place is great for a date night, Dim Sum Brunch with friends and family, or laughs for comedy on the weekends. I can’t say enough good things about this place. Definitely make it a stop on your Denver adventure.“
“Second time eating here--would definitely recommend! Lovely service, chefs, and environment. Will always recommend their Manhattan and of course, any of the chef specials! Looking forward to my next visit with chefs, Larry and Marin! Excited to try Omakase!“
“Our server Tommy was incredible. He was very outgoing and welcoming but gave us our space at the table. He was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful with chocie of dish.Vegetarian options: There were a few versions of every dishDietary restrictions: NoneParking: 1-2 dollars or valetKid-friendliness: Games“
“This place is perfect. Quick friendly service, fresh fish, and honestly great prices for Denver. Amazing spicy tuna on crispy rice appetizer, light, perfect gyoza, delicious rolls. Get the spicy scallop maki roll. 10/10Vegetarian options: Seaweed salad, tempura, veggie rolls!Kid-friendliness: Not too fancy or stuffy- perfect for kids to join“
“Wow! Just Wow! We had the Omakase, full top flight, to celebrate a significant birthday. Everything was more than perfect! It was inspired and had every favorite we could imagine, and then some. And the plates kept coming! Toro, the best white tuna, tuna belly with a jot of smoked condiment, a savory egg custard with seafood in it (excellent with a sip of Japanese whiskey), Kobe beef as sushi, rainbow fish, the best uni (from Japan), and even foie gras done perfectly - items we wouldn’t ordinarily allow ourselves to order but remarkable presentations and remarkable to find this in Littleton CO! We gave the chefs a bow at the end of the meal. Memorable! 10 Stars! Thank You!“
“Authentic Jpnse cuisine as well as many offerings from the Hawaiian Islands blend of Pacific Rim dishes that is unique to where I was raised. Excellent customer service, which is a world-renowned aspect of those cultures. Mahalo nui loa for a wonderful experience in the Rocky Mountains, which is the translation of "Iwayama"!“
“The rolls were amazing and the service was even better! Jessica our waitress was so kind and make the experience wonderful, and then they also have a fabulous bartender Ivy that made a perfect mock-tail and old fashioned! We can't wait to come back“
“This is a pretty good Izakaya in Denver. The decor and atmosphere does give off a vibe that you get if you ever visit Japan. I came when they were busy and the staff was nice and doing their best to turn over tables. The parking lot outside I suspect is a problem during busy hours, but I was lucky enough to snag a spot. I ordered the Katsu Curry, which was a good helping of both. If ever I am in town for work and want some Japanese, I'll stop by here and support.“
“AMAZING GLUTEN FREE SUSHI! The only thing better than the food was our server Rex. Rex was working hard, constantly moving and checking in on tables to see if anyone needed anything. He was a genuine kind and smiling face throughout the entire meal.Every roll was spectacular in appearance and taste. I haven’t had such great service and food in a long time.I was pleasantly surprised to find so many gluten free options! They have gluten free soy sauce (tamari) and many rolls can be made gluten free. Beautiful establishment and staff! I will be coming here again!“
“Can’t say enough good things about this place. We went for dinner and we had the most amazing knowledgeable server. We decided to let him guide our meal with his suggestions on what is popular and we had no regrets! Rarely do I enjoy every bite of a meal like this. Highly recommend you try this strategy if the budget allows! Excellent ?“
“So glad to find this spot in Denver when traveling here. Came here with my two boys and everyone loved it. Sushi was really great and the ramen was outstanding as well. Tonkotsu broth tasted phenomenal and some of the best noodles I’ve ever had. Ramen egg was perfection. The only miss was the pork chasu, rather thin and chewy instead of a thick cut marinated melt in your mouth kind of pork belly. But I’d still get this ramen at least once a week if i lived close by, it’s authentic and superb. They even had a great Japanese IPA on hand. Thanks for the wonderful meal!“
“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!“
“I order from here all the time. I've also been in to sit down and eat a few times before the new ownership. Everytime I've order or been here has been 1000% fantastic. Today I ordered something I've never had before and I couldn't stop eating it. J.P nori is hands down the best place to eat. I've always loved the hot and sour soup and now I love the jalapeño beef. I also stand by thier lo mein, yaki udon and pad thai. You're really missing out if you pass this place up. Round of applause to all the staff at J.P nori. You all are doing a fantastic job. Thank you!!“
“Hands down, *BEST SUSHI RESTAURANT IN DENVER!* OUR server Ashton was amazing! And that AGM Steph (I think) LOVE ❤️ ? W e had no idea it was prom weekend. ? We were thinking we were going to have to go food and eat the sushi in our truck! Nope, Steph to the rescue! The service and food were impeccable! Drove from Vail for this! Its so dang good! GET U SOME BLUE! AMAZING!“
“Wonderful Server I believe her name was Christina I'm not for sure but she was excellent we had a large party and she handled it like a professional. All of the sushi was excellent. The only gripe I had was we ordered the spicey edimame and it tasted very fishy... Other than that everything was great. I will be back I just won't be ordering the edimame next time.“
“Great atmosphere, attentive and caring staff, and even better food!I was blown away by the presentation. The sushi was laid out on a boat with a mini ice sculpture and smoky dry ice.Mika Sushi is a must if you love sushi! I will definitely be back!“
“My first time tried Sawara Sushi!! Very very satisfied!! Great service, even greater food!! I would say one of the best sushi spot in Denver in terms of food quality, taste, presentation, and definitely service. Very kind and friendly server, and from the menus that we ordered, the rolls and the sashimi, they are amazing!! Totally recommending this place for sure and definitely will return for sushi craves for sure!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“
“We just never seem to get enough of this place, they're so attentive and nice. The food is just always ? even better than the previous visit. I tried the wonton soup today it's just so flavorful has this smoky and spice to it. IT was INCREDIBLY GOOD!“
“Very small intimate hand-roll sushi spot. Delicious. Always fresh. Each roll made as you finish the last. Friendly servers. Great wine, beer, saki, and whisky selection. It’s an our favorite spot! Make sure you get a Reservation!Dietary restrictions: Gluten and veggie friendly!“
“My husband and I went to lunch here. I had been wanting to try. And I’m so happy we did! This will definitely be a place we come often. All the food was fresh and delicious. The atmosphere is nice. Restaurant is clean. Staff was very nice. And we loved that gratuity was included already.“
“I have never liked sushi until I came here. Both my wife and I have never really been fans, but some friends took us here and I fell in love. Their eel dragon roll and the baked roll called “Go Bronco’s” was amazing. The people at the front were also so kind and so caring. It is shocking this place is so small. It deserves all the praise it could possibly get and then some! I will be eating here anytime I think of having sushi, and now because of this place showing me how good sushi can be, will be a lot! Thanks for such a great experience!“
“Nice sushi place, good food, the spicy rolls actually have some kick. Service was friendly but they need to work on remembering which table ordered what, no big deal since it's a small place.Dietary restrictions: They offer gluten free prep and have tamari sauce.“
“It has the most delicious Japanese food and most notably, great hospitality. If you're in Denver, this is the place to go for a delicious meal. Please call ahead for reservations. My friends rave about the food here. Don't forget to try the chocolate cake and pineapple flip cake. We will probably go back tonight because we loved it so much. I had the tofu steak and spicy garlic edema beans. Gyoza, paneo oysters, baby back ribs and teriyaki chicken. The sushi rolls were good too!“
“Just had dinner here and this place is a must try for anyone who loves ramen! They have a plethora of options to choose from including build your own and premade dishes. Service was fast and friendly and restaurant was very clean. The atmosphere was chill and comfy. Definitely some of the best ramen we’ve ever tried! Highly recommended!“
“I am officially a fan of this place. My boyfriend and I went on a last minute late night date and we literally walked in 30 minutes before they closed. We were super apologetic and offered to leave but the lady inside insisted that we stayed. It was a slow night and we were the only ones there but they made sure to give us the best service and prepare our food quickly. Everything was super good and the atmosphere was very nice and relaxing for a date night. I loved their sushi and of course my boyfriend and I got gyoza too. Absolutely amazing service 10/10!“
“This place is amazing! The food was great and reasonably priced. Our waitress was very helpful. We had gluten free concerns and she helped us tremendously. Plus having her help commence our saki bombs was so exciting. I love this place and will be back!“
“Decent food, granted we gotntgere at midnight. So thank you for being open late. I got the Chicken Fried rice and we ate some Rolls. Rolls were small and ok flavor. Chicken fried rice was good. Honestly, that late we were happy to get food. Drinks and the staff were amazing.“
“The sashimi was delicious but the rest of the dishes that we ordered weren’t all that interesting or well executed.Lighting and aesthetic are well done however the restaurant as a whole simply feels like a place to see and be seen. Bumping house music on a Tuesday... personally not my vibe.For the price and atmosphere I would like a higher level of service and knowledge of the menu from my server. I am a big dessert person, but unfortunately none of the dessert options were all that intriguing and the one we had felt like a total afterthought.. it simply wasn't well done.Overall delicious sashimi, but I wouldn't rush back.“
“I came here yesterday with my family. It was my birthday. The food was so delicious, and service was so great! (I forgot to ask her name). My grandma really love the atmosphere of the restaurant. She decided to take a shot of sake because the place gave her a good mood. Anyway, thank you!“
“My husband and I have been dining here for the last couple of years and every time we are blown away by how delicious and consistent the food is! The service is top notch and the staff are always friendly. Recommend the shumai and salad as starters, also all of the sushi rolls are good quality fish. We have tried all of the ramens and have enjoyed each one- great flavor and authentic. Hands down one of the best restaurants in Denver.“
“New spot open at 16th & Wewatta downtown -- and I'm always happy to have more sushi around! It's hard with competition like Blue Sushi Sake Grill just a few blocks away -- but here's how I think they stack up. I wish there were more fish/sashimi items on happy hour here (not just the tower and the basic rolls) -- but I also really like the quality of the fish here and availability of things like toro (tuna belly) and yellowtail belly -- neither of which Blue Sushi has. The chef's choice sashimi is a little pricy at $50, but the mega lobster roll is totally worth the $36 if you consider the entire lobster tail inside. Some deets and prices below... LUNCH - Mon-Fri 11am-2pm DINNER - Sun-Thu 4-10pm / Fri & Sat 4-11pm HAPPY HOUR is daily 4-6pm and includes $3 off signature cocktails, $5 hot or cold house sake, $5 Japanese draft beers, $5 house wine, 12 sushi towers (salmon and/or tuna), $5-12 hot bites, and 2 basic rolls for $18. Lunch specials include a sashimi lunch ($25), nigiri & roll combo ($20), sashimi & nigiri combo ($25), poke bowl ($22), spicy chicken or teriyaki bowl ($20), beef bulgogi bowl ($20), and chirashi bowl ($25). Some of my favorite bites I had here: yellowtail sashimi ($20), chef's choice sashimi ($50), and mega lobster roll ($36, but that's with a whole lobster tail in there). You also can't go wrong ordering your favorite sushi/sashimi a la carte -- and I highly recommend the toro (tuna belly) and yellowtail belly! Those aren't cuts everyone carries. Tasty non-fish items are also available, like the kobe hot rock ($30) and wagyu roll (seared table-side, $36).“
“Good quality sushi for the price in the Denver area. Sashimi is nicely done and nice cuts of fish, rolls are better than most as well, although still Krab (not crab) for those that are ordering. I'm from the Seattle area so finding a decent sushi restaurant for a good price took awhile. They are consistent as well, which is nice to see. ?“
“We went for happy hour and had a great time! We went downstairs to the bar and the service was awesome! Friendly staff and laid back atmosphere. We ordered sushi and it came out super quick and we ate it super quick. We'll definitely visit again!“
“We enjoyed our lunch at Osaka Sushi, the quality food and ambiance was great. The staffs are helpful. They have a wide variety of sushi, rolls and all other Japanese foods. I would highly recommend this restaurant to everyone.Vegetarian options: Plenty of vegetarian choicesDietary restrictions: Vegetarian menu availableParking: No problem finding a parking spot in the lotKid-friendliness: Definitely kids friendly and they have kids menu tooWheelchair accessibility: Easy accessibility for people on wheelchairs“
“Recently visited JJ's Bistro and was thoroughly impressed. The ambiance is cozy and welcoming. We started with the Wontons, which were flavorful and delicious. We ordered the chicken lo mein, orange chicken, and broccoli beef. The ingredients were fresh, and the seasoning was spot-on. The waiter was super friendly and funny, making our dining experience even more pleasant. Highly recommend for anyone looking for authentic Chinese cuisine. It is a hidden gem!“
“We discovered Bistro King on Christmas 2023. We did not have a reservation and they were packed but they fit us in anyway. We had a wonderful meal with fantastic service. We have been back almost every week since. The weekday lunch specials are really good and plenty of food for us to take home as well. The outside looks sketchy but clean, fresh, and pretty inside.“
“Cute spot on the smaller side. There’s a sushi bar where you can see the staff at work. I used to live next door and boy way I spoiled. Still my preferred sushi in the area despite being ~20 mins away now.I get takeout both in person and delivery. Everything is always packaged so considerately. They include dividers and place hot food on the top - heat rises!I’ve tried a number of special rolls. The simple rolls are delicious as well. Fish always tastes fresh not fishy. Love the tempura veggies!Would highly recommend!Parking: Busy spot but it’s not hard to pull up for takeout. Parking for sit down may not be super close, but it’s residential so you’ll likely find something just may have to walk a bit. Much harder on weekend nights.“
“I might of found my new favorite sushi spot in CO! Everything was amazing. Service was great. We got the tuna special app which was delicious, crispy rice tuna, new style sashimi. Everything was great. My favorite had to of been the Kobe beef roll, I didn't know what was expecting but I was SO GOOD. All the rolls we got were honestly amazing.“
“Casual sushi restaurant for a decent price and attentive staff. The waitress got our order wrong but we were okay keeping what was prepared, plated and brought out to us. We were served the sweetheart, denver and philly roll. The sushi was good, but nothing to write home about.“
“We were at the Cherry Blossom Festival and wanted to continue our Japanese cultural experience. We looked up online nearby restaurants… we called and were greeted VERY warmly and inviting and walked here. We had a fantastic culinary dining experience!! Would definitely recommend this restaurant and we will be back soon!! Thank you!!“
“I was really blown away by the food here! The rolls are so creative and so wonderfully fresh! The toro was melt-in-your-mouth with a little green chile on top, and cut skillfully. I ordered two special rolls, the Sweetheart roll- spicy scallop and mango topped with salmon and lemon wrapped in soy paper and the Fantasy roll- shrimp tempura, eel, avocado, tobiko, cream cheese, wrapped sesame soy paper and eel sauce. This is one of the best sushi spots I've ever been and my new favorite in Denver! Service was great too, and the atmosphere is really relaxing. Very cute spot and great food I highly recommend“
“Great sushi, great service. Teriyaki Chicken was delish and a huge portion, it fed two of us + some leftovers. Sushi was fresh and sitting at the Chef's table was fun and intimate for a small party of 2. Reasonably priced Sake as well. And again, service was so great!!!“
“This is one of my favorite sushi places! Always fresh! Been coming here for years. Justin and the staff always greet me with a smile, and make me feel welcome. Justin always knows my order and is great at suggesting new items on the menu!! Thank you for being my go to sushi joint!“
