50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Centennial

“Great place! The service is wonderful, food is fresh, drinks hit the spot and environment is friendly, clean and welcoming.“

“Ordered pick up 30mins before closing as a last minute i don't wanna cook decision and man was it delicious. So good we scarfed it down before I thought of pictures. 😅
The thai tea Boba slush had no reason to be that delicious.
We got the signature bowls Tuna and chicken karaage, fresh and delicious. Crab wontons were light and crispy. 😘 And the 2 miso soups (yum) and a few cubes of cheese cake! (Also yum.) Will definitely be back, totally worth it.“

“It was delivered fresh and hot. In addition, Deborah F’s order (and her child’s) was delivered to me. It was sooo good. I’m sorry the other Deb didn’t get her meal this evening, but I can attest that Tokey Joe makes good food using fresh ingredients. I would have given 5 stars, but only gave 4 because they goofed up someone else’s order.“

“I had brought my client in for lunch today.. The service was fast and the food was delicious! I highly recommend this place!“

“Small, Cozy, and welcoming.

I come here regularly and can confidently say it's my favorite place to eat in the area.

Great food all around, from sushi to their japanese comfort food.

They always seem to have something new in to try as well - always fun to see what the owner's wife has cooked up for the week.

The staff is very nice and attentive.“

“Have come here 2x this spring, once for lunch with a friend and once for dinner with the family (5 of us). Had a really good experience both times, both food and service. It was not crowded and felt old school in the best way possible. I had Panang curry and Pad Thai and both were really good. The prices were good, especially considering how restaurant food has skyrocketed. Highly recommend.“

“Incredible experience every time. Mike takes personal care of us as he always has since we met him at the Westminster location. Omakase is a must for anyone who loves sushi. Chef is a super hero. 5 stars.“

“The food is really good , tender and tasty. There is minimal wait time off no more than 10 minutes. As soon as you walk through the door you are greeted and feel like you're with family. They should be getting more business than what they have.“

“Such a gem of a restaurant! The korean lady serving us was so sweet. We had questions regarding our dietary restrictions and she was so patient with us and explained everything thoroughly.
We like to avoid mirin/sake and cross contact with meat when eating sushi and she explained that they only use vinegar to season their rice and their meat and fish stations completely separate. 10/10 just for that!
We ordered-
1.Spicy tuna rolls- 10/10
2.Castle pines rolls- 10/10, this was so good!
If you are living in this area you must visit them or, like us, if you are just driving through Colorado on your way to see garden of the gods or something like that, you better stop and try it out!
10/10, definitely recommend 👌“

“I am very happy to see more and more high-quality sushi restaurants in Denver. The chefs are very friendly and know a lot of skills in handling sashimi. The sushi rolls are well matched, the taste is very rich, the waiters are very enthusiastic, and the overall decoration atmosphere is very good. People feel very comfortable. Happy to share this restaurant with you all.“

“Deliciously fresh sushi. ALWAYS excellent service. Ask for Sonny, he's amazing! This is by far our go-to sushi restaurant!! you can't go wrong“

“The sushi here is consistently fresh, tasty, and delicious, but what really makes the experience special is the service. Our waitress always takes such wonderful care of my wife and me, and she’s just as attentive and welcoming when our extended family comes in—whether we’re dining together or separately. That level of care and consistency means a lot. Great food, great people, and a place that truly makes you feel like a regular. Highly recommend!“

“muy buena atención al cliente y la comida exquisita“

“Awesome food and fantastic service~“

“Delicious ramen! Friendly service and good selection of foods. Definitely a new favorite!“

“Best sushi in Parker. So fresh.“

“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!“

“Fanatic service! Great neighborhood restaurant. Check it out 🍣😘“

“Amazing experience from start to finish! The sashimi platter was absolutely stunning—fresh, thick cuts of salmon, tuna, and white fish beautifully presented and incredibly clean in flavor. You can truly taste the quality of the fish. The chef’s special toro with uni and caviar was a standout—rich, buttery, and perfectly balanced. The sweet shrimp was another highlight, super fresh and naturally sweet, with a great texture.
The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the service was attentive without being rushed. Everything felt thoughtfully prepared, from presentation to execution. If you love high-quality sushi and beautiful plating, this place is a must-visit. I’ll definitely be coming back again! 🍣✨“

“Delicious sushi etc. I was told they are owned by Sushi Den. This is by far the best Japanese restaurant in town! I highly recommend. They have buzzers at the table if you need your waitperson! What a great time we had.“

“Great Food!!! Come here whenever I come to Denver.❤️❤️“

“Ordered a handful of different rolls for dinner. Fish tasted pretty fresh, rolls were a good size.

We personally didn’t like the Hawaiian roll— the flavors were kind of overwhelming & the pieces of fish felt too large for a single bite. It was probably just personal preference as there was nothing wrong with the roll!“

“Passed this place many times but never stopped. Decided to stop in a month ago and try it. All I can say is WOW! It was fantastic. Service was exceptional and loved the atmosphere. Ordered takeout last week and still, food was amazing, fresh, and so good. This is definitely my new favorite sushi spot! Highly recommend!“

“I recently discovered this hidden gem of a sushi restaurant tucked away in a strip mall next to Starbucks and that shares a parking lot with Taco Bell in Highlands Ranch. From the outside, it’s easy to miss, But once you step inside, you’re in for a treat!

The menu is massive, offering an impressive variety of sushi, sashimi, rolls, and Japanese dishes. What stands out is the freshness of the food and the high-quality ingredients. The sushi was some of the best in the area, beating the regular spots in Highlands Ranch.

Our server was delightful —kind, attentive, and very helpful in navigating the menu. They made excellent recommendations and made us feel well taken care of.

The only downside is the atmosphere, which feels a bit blah and could use some updating to match the quality of the food. However, the restaurant just started offering beer, wine, and sake, and plans to expand their liquor menu soon, which is a promising!

Despite the unassuming location and lackluster ambiance, the incredible food and top-notch service make this my new favorite sushi spot in Highlands Ranch. If you’re looking for fresh, delicious sushi that outshines the competition, don’t let the location deter you—this place is great!“

“Utterly DELICIOUS! Intimate setting! Treat yourself!“

“Only gave 4 stars since I don’t like poke and can’t make a judgement, but the ramen is great! Really tasty gyoza as well and very good tea. It’s a lot more lowkey than some other ramen spots in Aurora/denver, very casual which I love.“

“In town for the night, and I decided to order from this place for the first time. The food was really good and fresh. However, I spent over $50 and just wish they'd given me more shrimp with my steak and rice. Other than that, the food was great 👍🏾“

“I love it. Eat here regularly. Teriyaki chicken is the BOMB!!!“

“This restaurant was so yummy! I've been wanting to try it for a while. We went on a Friday night and from what I can see once they nail down some processes, this place will be so good. The waiters were super nice, but for example, we stood at the front door for nearly 10 min before someone came over to us. Once we were finally sat and ordered the food came surprisingly quickly.. for the most part. My husband ordered something from the rice kitchen, while I ordered a ramen bowl. My ramen came out nearly 15 min after his entree. I'd definitely recommend the food from this place and am hopeful that they can solidify some things and be great!“

“Absolutely one of my favorite restaurants! Used to come here with my dad when he worked in the tech center and I can't stay away. I always get the mild chicken ramen and would eat the entire menu every visit if I could. The couple who works the front and the kitchen are the sweetest people. Food comes out very fast and is always very high quality for a reasonable price. Try out Sakura Bowl if you like delicious food!“

“Fun atmosphere and great food. Always entertaining.“

“The Best here in Denver away from the ocean“

“It was so good the service it so good and the food came so fast“

“Cannot believe I haven't had Taki before! Really really great sushi for the price I was shocked. Spicy gyoza is incredible and some of my favorite I've had. Fish is fresh. For a not super upscale spot I'm super impressed. Presentation is great.“

“Best sushi in Parker! Always delicious 🍱 🍣“

“Excellent Sushi with every bite!“

“Perfect the way it is, no need to change anything.“

“We have been dining here since they opened and have not been disappointed. The food is fresh and tasty and the service is friendly.“

“I usually don’t leave reviews but this one deserves it 100 percent. I’m an asian woman and i’m very picky when it comes to asian foods. I bought the ramen and it tastes amazing. The ingredients are rich and the ginseng tastes like a cure. Best ramen I ever had in my life, no joke. And the staff are amazing, very quick, responsive and friendly.“

“amazing! my son and I went for a late lunch and it was so good! definitely going again“

“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!“

“My daughter wrote on her school paper that Tokyo Joes a was her favorite restaurant when whe was in kindergarten (age 5). She just graduated high school (age 18) and we have continued to visit & enjoy on a regular basis. The great healthy food, comfortable atmosphere and the memories we've shared at a Tokyo Joes, will keep us coming back!“

“❤️ greatgood and service!!“

“This place is the absolute best!! I've been a regular customer for over 20 years. I cannot recommend a better option for sushi in or near Parker. The owner knows her stuff. Service is always on point food quality is exceptional. We eat here at least twice a month and more often when time permits. Consistent deliciousness!!“

“Friendly staff and great service. Kudos to the staff. Very hard workers.“

“Awesome food and friendly staff made me, and keep me a regular. The whole family have become "addicts".“

“Awesome Lunch Beef Teriyaki Bento Box. cant wait to come back and try some other dishes. 5 🌟“

“A very dark and sorted tale of soul killing and agonizing terror with zero hints of intrigue and only heart stabbing comedy at my sole expense that led me here again. is still food here.“

“Incredible food. Amazing service. A perfect meal!!! Trust the waiters to bring you just the right dish. Perfection!“

“I love mugi ramen, i got into ramen about a year ago but my brother lived in japan and can be a tough ramen critic and he loves this place. i recommend either the tonkotsu ramen (add chili oil of course) or the spicy shoyu. the staff is great and has treated me to desert at times that i don’t even order it. i love it here, great vibes, great workers, and especially GREAT FOOD!“
