13 Best Sushi Bars in Boulder

“I came here with a small group of adults, and we had a wonderful experience. We mostly ordered rolls (several from the interesting specials menu). They were all delicious. Someone ordered Hijiki and I found it to be very tasty. The staff were above-and-beyond nice to us. The atmosphere was warm and lively. Based on this one visit, I'd highly recommend.“

“I cannot say enough good things about the restaurant, and i have been to japan about a dozen times. First, the service has been flawless each time I have gone and all employees seem very invested in their jobs (and doing it the best). The sushi is excellent and it's obvious that they have a great provider and take pride in that. The appetizers here are not to be skipped as there is much attention put to making these dishes as they are in Japan and not American-ized like others in town. And last, it's hard not to be in a good mood with the buzzing atmosphere and well designed rooms. Checks all boxes for me. Solo diners - sit at the sushi bar, it's dinner AND a show :)“

“Our family really enjoyed this place! The katsudon, curry rice, and ramen were great and so happy to finally have a place prepare takoyaki correctly! The owners were super nice as well which made for a great atmosphere. Happy to have a more traditional Japanese style restaurant to frequent in Boulder.“

“Sushi Hana is excellent, they always have really good food and great service. Their fried rice and sushi is so good“

“This self-service Japanese restaurant is a hidden gem! The food is fresh, delicious, and reasonably priced. The variety of sushi, poke, fried chicken, and udon is impressive, and everything tastes amazing. The self-service system is convenient and efficient, making it a great spot for a quick but satisfying meal. The atmosphere is clean and welcoming, and the staff is friendly and helpful. Highly recommend to anyone looking for quality Japanese food in Boulder!“

“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.“

“Good food, good service, nice ambience.“

“Get there early- this place fills up quick!“

“Our first time dining at this place though we have wanted to go for a while after someone posted about it after they opened. Finally made it and glad we made reservations as it was packed since it was peak time Friday evening. Spoke with Koji-san, the owner, while we were waiting for our table and he also stopped by each table to check on them which we thought was great. We had the takoyaki, kaisen-mix okonomiyaki and the spicy miso ramen. All came within a reasonable amount of time and were delicious! Koji-san explained the background of offering takoyaki, which was so interesting and great for him to share. We will definitely be back to try the other menu items, esp their sushi, which looked delicious! Great to see a business busy and doing well!“

“Very clean and it was delicious. I had the Mochiko Chicken“

“Outstanding experience! Food was exceptionally fresh and flavorful. Enjoyed the atmosphere and sushi chef. Strongly recommend!“

“Ordered sushi (Denver, California and shrimp tempura rolls) and general chicken for the family. I ordered online and picked it up. Order was ready at the time requested. Employee was very friendly and made sure everything was correct and it was. I requested no wasabi and gluten free soy sauce. Food was hot and delicious! Yurihana is a favorite for my family. Been going there since 2012. Never had a bad experience.“

“I’ve been here twice. It’s a very interesting and fun concept with good quality food. This last time it seemed to be a bit understaffed which created issues with cleanliness but I’ll be back again as my family (especially my four year-old grandson) loves it.“
