The best sushi in Colorado! We sat at the bar and got the tasting menu. So fun and delicious.

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!

Wow, just wow.. as Littleton locals we've passed many times without a thought to what was contained. I can assure you though, we will never round the corner to our home without thinking of that meal again. The omakase, at $120 pp before drinks and tips felt a gamble as a first timer, but with each immaculately designed plate, the price faded and the value soared.. and by the end, we were only left with one thought and one word.. Wow, just wow. So Please, next time you drive to Littleton.. stop in. It will not only be the best piece of sushi you may ever have, but Makizushico elevates our entire fair town of Littleton with its presence.

Best sushi in Denver. Fight me. Great vibes. Top notch service. Definitely a must experience.

Best omakase ever. Bought the top tier and we were there for almost 3 hours. One small course after another. Look out Sushi Den, you have competition in the 'burbs!

First impression was definitely terrible. We almost walked out. The waiter, Will, did not meet us with a greeting when we walked in. Instead, Will met us at the door with "do you have a reservation?" We said no in confusion, and Will made this huge deal saying we only had one hour to eat and he was completely rude. I get it if you're booked say that, but be polite about it, we would have left and went elsewhere. I looked at my husband saying let's leave, just because I don't appreciate being judged as soon as we walk into the door. Will checked on every table and chatted with them, but not our table. I'm not sure if he thought we looked poor, we happened to be in town which is rare, we live an hour out on a farm. If not that, if Will had an issue because we had our infant with us, either way I did not appreciate it. Brenden ended up being our server, thank goodness. Brenden was awesome, we were able to chat with him and he changed our whole experience! I'm very thankful Brenden was our server. I mostly let Brenden choose our rolls, and he did not disappoint. Everything we had was very fresh and delicious. I am a sushi snob and this is one of the best sushi places I've had in Colorado. I would recommend this place to everyone. We will most certainly come back as long as Brenden is our waiter.My husband and I joked the whole time we were there as well, because 4 tables remained open the whole time we were there. Hopefully the manager talks to Will because he sucks. I hope the 25% tip we left only goes to Brenden.

We tried the omakase experience and it did not disappoint! We scheduled a regular reservation for a Sat night (5pm) but when we got there, we had to wait for our table because there weren’t any open tables/seats ready at that time… I’m not sure what the confusion/lack of planning was there, but the 10 min wait wasn’t too bad. We told the waiter we wanted to do omakase, and he explained the 3 tiers we could select from: the $80/person gave you 11-12 “bites” (sushi or otherwise), $100/person gave you 14-15 bites, and $120/person gave you 17-18 bites. We chose the mid-level + 2 appetizers (takoyaki and shishito peppers) and we were comfortably full by the end of dinner. The one non-sushi “bite” was a Japanese steamed egg dish with baby scallops which was delicious. The selection of sushi wasn’t too adventurous (nothing moving!) so it’d be very approachable for anyone wanting to try omakase. The fish was fresh and tasty, but the winners for us were the duck foie gras, seared ahi toro (?), and king salmon. In my photos, we’re missing one of the 3-bites plates (we got too excited lol) and the last plate included a honey cake + toro hand roll which I’d already started eating! ? Altogether I’d definitely recommend Makizushico for both omakase and sushi in general!
Definitely in the top 5 sushi joints in the metro area. The size of the rolls and nigiri were questionable in relation to the other top tier sushi restaurants in the area. The fish was fresh, but I feel like their selection is missing some typical Japanese choices. Service and desserts were excellent!

We have been coming here for years and have never been disappointed! The food is next level and so fresh. Our server Will is always helpful, and attentive. We’ve done everything from the Omakase to rolls and apps and have always left very happy!! Best sushi in Colorado and you don’t even have to drive into Denver for it.

I ordered the Unagi Don, Gyu-Don, and Chirashi Bowl, along with the Flourless Chocolate Cake for lunch. The food came out in a timely manner and was very flavorful and the fish was fresh. I enjoyed the food because it was very light and simple. The waiter was also very well mannered. The area looks a little sketch but it is a lot better on the inside. The environment was pleasant, however we went during lunch, when it was not very busy and the sushi chefs kept looking over at us. I think this place is more of a dinner environment.

Made a reservation for 6 for a birthday celebration weeks in advance only to show up and be told that our reservation had been changed and we were to be seated at the sushi bar. I asked if they could accommodate the reservation I made and was told that they would see and let me know. The manager then came over saying how it was nearly impossible and indicated that it was my fault for adjusting the reservation. The only adjustment made was by the restaurant. Not sure why you bother to take reservations if you are not going to honor them. Can't say anything on the food as we drove down the street and had a lovely meal at JP Nori.

Came to Makizushico at the request of my sister, and it did not disappoint! It's a great little spot in Littleton for a date night or if you want to impress with good sushi in the 'burbs without shlepping to the city. They do the basics really well and with their own unique flare - delicious miso soup, shishito peppers, gyoza, spicy yellowtail appetizer, etc. Our sake was phenomenal and paired well with our ice cold Asahi's. My sister ordered champagne and it was delicious with generous pours. I'm a huge fan of sashimi and nigiri and the quality of their fish is amazing. We stuck with mostly salmon, king salmon (MUST have if you're a raw salmon lover), tuna, and yellowtail - all very excellent quality and so fresh!! We also ordered two rolls - Sexy on the Beach from their chalkboard menu and their namesake roll the Makizushico - both were delicious. GET THE PORK BELLY BUNS...trust me. Very much recommend if you're in the area!
