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.“

“I love poke, and I am convinced this is the best in SE Aurora. I I’ve tried so many others in the area, and I keep coming back to Wanna Poke. High quality ingredients and friendly/quick service. I’ve been a customer for years now. I highly recommend checking them out!“

“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!“

“This place was one of the best food place that I went int Colorado. I went in during rainy day. They still welcomed me even if I was smelly and soaked with water. They served me warm soups and curry. The taste was just so delicious! I usually do not leave the comment, but this place is hard not to leave the comment. Anyway, great place and I think I will visit again if I have a chance to come to Colorado again.“

“Rock solid choice for Asian food in the area. I loved the sampler platter for two, great deal, great food. I always love getting options with the sauces as well, and that sampler had that. They give out a free pineapple dessert as stock per table, sliced and chopped with powdered sugar and some plum sugar powder on it, and that was a pleasant surprise.
Family owned and operated, nice charm and good atmosphere. I will definitely be coming back!“

“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.“

“We absolutely love this place. It's so hard to find good sushi. Not good for Denver area either. Fuyu uses a very high quality fish and they put some how love into their dishes. It's so obvious that they care. It's my wife and I new favorite date spot. We also love thier sister location fuyu Ramen.“

“I must admit, I’m surprised to say this, but this restaurant in Denver is my favorite. Occasionally, I prefer place that are one-of-a kind locations, but I’m consistently impressed with how well they manage their business and provide the best hospitality in Denver. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive to detail, making you feel welcome and valued. They have several locations, and they consistently deliver the most delightful service. It’s an incredible place to celebrate with friends or my favorite date night spot. The HH prices are also incredibly reasonable for the quality of food and drinks.“

“Great service! Friendly folks. They were very open and honest when my husband asked about which menu items were safe for someone with a shellfish allergy. They told us that the whole menu was off-limits to people with shellfish allergies. Many thanks and I wish this place the best. If you don't have a shellfish allergy, you should eat here!“

“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 liked my salmon bowl and the boba smoothie tasted good without being too sweet. My boyfriend liked his ramen, but not as much as I liked my salmon bowl. Restaurant is on the small side. I appreciate that this is a well priced and convenient place to get a healthy meal out.“

“muy buena atención al cliente y la comida exquisita“

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

“This is a wonderful restaurant. It's Asian and sushi and sashimi. The fish is truly fresh. There is a miso black cod I have everytime I go. It's very flavorful and delicious. The sashimi salmon is high quality and very fresh. The menu has great variety.
The service is excellent.“

“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“

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

“I’ve been coming to this place for years now, and the quality has always been fantastic. It is a small business with usually just two people working so you may have to wait a bit but I promise it’s worth it. Absolutely recommend their food and fair prices.“

“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.“

“Ended up here on accident when the neighboring restaurant closed early. Score that they did because the service and sushi were top notch great. They have 2 locations in CO that we are going to try when we get home; we live in the area.

We shared 6 rolls. The yellowtail Jalapeños, spicy crispy tuna, titanic, hamachi kama, Shrek, and sunshine. Loved them all. The hamachi kama was really good and because it was a slightly smaller cut, they comped us 20% on it. Very honest and nice establishment. The server was super nice and rolls came out quickly due to it being slower in the late afternoon.

Definitely recommend overall, and definitely better than Haleiwa Joe's if you are in this area of the island. We felt the food was a lot better as we tried Joe's the night before, though the gardens and ambience of Joe's was very nice.“

“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!“

“Best sushi in Parker. So fresh.“

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

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

“Tried Leezakaya with friends and here are my thoughts.

The decor and ambiance is very nice with several areas for tables. There is a bar and a sushi bar where patrons can sit as well.

The food is Japanese pub style with sushi and other traditional items

The less impressive was the service. It took a long time for a server to get our order in (unsure if they were understaffed).

Then the food came out way too quickly as we ordered appetizers and entrees and they didn't give time to finish appetizers before mains were served. This made our table overly crowded. Hopefully they can figure out this for future visits.

The bento box I ordered was very filling.

Next time I'd skip appetizer and just get an entree as the portions were much larger than expected.

There is plenty of parking as they have their own lot and overflow for the strip mall adjacent.“

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

“This must be one of my favorite sushi restaurants in Denver. The service is great, the food consistently fantastic, and the prices are not bad at all for sushi. 10/10 recommend, this is my gf’s and I’s favorite spot even tho we live much closer to other places on S. Broadway. Taki is worth the detour!“

“This place has been exemplary every time we come. The sushi chefs take great care in crafting the dishes and are extremely friendly. When we order hot tea, it never runs empty before we are offered another kettle of it. Even the California roll tastes terrific, and yet, it costs less than if you were to buy a roll off the shelf at the grocery store next door.“

“We are OBSESSED with this ramen shop. The whole place feels like stepping straight into an anime episode with Pokémon everywhere, anime playing on the big TVs, and even a robot that rolls up to deliver your food.

The vibe is so fun and unique, and the food is out of this world. Every single thing we have tried like ramen, curry, tempura, and those dreamy smoothie drinks has been amazing. My daughter is super picky and usually complains about everything, but she loves Mikaku Ramen so much that we make a stop here every month when we fly to Aurora from Taos, NM.

If you are anywhere near Aurora, trust me, this place is worth it. Go for the vibe, stay for the ramen. Highly highly recommend.“

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

“The Best here in Denver away from the ocean“

“In Co for vacation and tried this place . My son, husband and I all loved the food and service. 10 out of 10 ! We had ribeye steak, shrimp and chicken . Fried rice and noodles . Everything was great and seasoned well . Loved that the shrimp weren’t overcooked and they did our steak med just as we asked.“

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

“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!“

“Excellent Sushi with every bite!“

“Best sushi in Parker! Always delicious 🍱 🍣“

“❤️ greatgood and service!!“

“Fun atmosphere and great food. Always entertaining.“

“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!“

“Sukiya is, without a doubt, my favorite place to get ramen in the Denver metro area. The physical location of the actual restaurant is small, but very cozy. Parking is available and easy to access. The service is always really great and quick. The food itself is incredible. In particular, the gyoza and spicy tonkatsu are my go-to orders!“

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

“Yummy!! Was my first time here and I am happy I found this place! My sushi lunch special was delicious, affordable and perfectly portioned. All their lunch specials look great and I am already thinking about what I will try next! Definitely going in my regular lunch rotation - thank you Yutaka!“

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

“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".“

“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.“

“Am excelent Japanese food !!!!“

“It was soo good! We had a great combo of roles and the bbq chicken was amazing as well. Fast service and a great vibe“
