12 Best Sushi Bars in Boulder

“Best sushi place in Boulder, and rivals the upscale sushi restaurants in Denver! With a more casual atmosphere, and high quality food and service. The sushi chefs and servers are friendly and welcoming, and make sushi fast. Some of our favorites are off the chef recommendation menu. A must try is the aged Toro! Thank you to the dedicated staff / restaurant owners that keep this place running and keep serving delicious food.“

“Finally tried AOI after suggestions from friends. I was super happily surprised. Great fish, really friendly staff and some kind of unusual but authentic Japanese cooked dishes.

I liked that the rolls were fairly straightforward. No super complicated names rolls with too many sauces and flavors.

Prices were also very reasonable. Much better than some of the places downtown. The vibe is much more mellow than other places but quite nice on the patio.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Good food, good service, nice ambience.“

“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“

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