Namiko's Japanese Restaurant & Sushi Bar

Very bad. Came in on a Weekday night. Ordered three rolls and they were terrible. Rolls were not cut all the way through, meaning that the knife they used wasn’t sharp enough to cut the nori. The avacados on the rolls were visibly oxidized (I.e. brown) which is a huge disappointment when paying close to $20 for a roll. The sushi rice on the rolls were so loose that I probably had quarter of a cup of rice in my soy sauce saucer when all was said and done. I honestly made better rolls my first try than these rolls. Fish Quality was mediocre at best. Service was very lacking. Server seemed more interested in performing chores than attending to the needs of the table.Edit: You are very welcome for the review. Do note the lack of accountability, merely deflection and finger pointing. I was unaware that it was my responsibility to complain. I naively thought paying $20 For a roll would result in a quality product.

We were so mislead by the good reviews but we were totally disappointed. The poor quality food sushi “roll” was 4 pieces of sushi and overpriced. I wouldn’t recommend this place to ANYONE!!

May be best sushi in Denver area. Though in a strip mall and back side looks cheap, it is a large restaurant with 2 huge aquariums and 3 dining rooms. Definitely coming back. Get Line of Fire.

The food, atmosphere and service was amazing! My favorite was the Tuna Crisps. Wish I could still eat shellfish, was super jealous of my husband and his tempura shrimp. If you are looking for fresh tantalizing sushi Namiko’s is the place for you! We will be going back for sure! We loved it!

This place gets better every time we eat there! We always stuck to the same menu items because we like them so much but last night we tried some different things. I highly recommend Tuna Crisps and the Nami roll, but really you can’t go wrong with anything on their menu! Also, they were so busy last night (which was great to see!) and their whole staff worked like a great team!

A really fabulous sushi find in Arvada. Met with a friend/business partner. The sushi was so fresh and delicious. The folks who work here were very friendly and professional. We tried a bit of everything - the freshwater eel was great, and that is saying something as I am very picky with my eel. Had the Taurus and Scorpio roll among other dishes. Everything was very good. Highly recommended!

Overall underwhelmed by the food. The restaurant itself is beautiful, well maintained and worth coming to.I tried non sushi fare getting the Yaki udon noodles w/pork. Which was decent but a far cry from where it shoyld be and felt like it came from your average American-Chinese fast food. We also got the pork katsu donbari. Right when it came out it was soggy and had no sauce. Just poorly cooked rice and pork... nothing else.The starter salad though was superb but simple and the soups were phenomenal. Overall, not the experience/quality throughout we had hoped for the price. Might come back but unlikely

Food was okay. The portions were small for the price in my opinion. Our server and all staff I interacted with were pleasant. The general upkeep and cleanliness of the restaurant looked good.

We have been coming here for years and have always had superb experiences with their great quality sushi and service. What's so convenient about Namiko's is their location. This time people came from Lafayette, Moab and Littleton and found this a perfect place, easy to find and park as well. Other times it's been a rendezvous for people from the downtown areas. If you don't see something on the menu, ask them for suggestions, and they are happy to come up with ideas for you. We feel that they are the best sushi restaurant in all of Denver.

We just visited this place for the first time tonight and it was amazing! The atmosphere was so inviting with beautiful art and comfortable tables. The service was impeccable! Our first appetizer arrived at the table in about 4 minutes and the staff was so attentive and friendly the entire time. Our Sushi was delicious! We absolutely cannot wait to go back, don't pass this place up! It is a little unassuming from the exterior but the best sushi and service and atmosphere we have been to thus far!

Nice spot. Very accomodating...sushi rolls that I have had prepared special are delicious. Great apps too. Highly recommend.

Food was average at best. The sushi didn’t taste fresh. Only one of our waiters had a good attitude and we got dirty looks from who I assume is the owner. They also forced a 20% “mandatory” gratuity because I assume they knew their service was terrible. Will never come back. There are better sushi spots that are worth traveling to.
