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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Came here a little while ago for a little date night. Place is pretty solid, not quite outstanding like many of the reviews here seem to state though. Some of the rolls are a bit rice heavy, but are creative and have good flavor. Fish quality was above average.“

“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 👌“

“muy buena atención al cliente y la comida exquisita“

“Best sushi in Parker. So fresh.“

“Lots of portions, delicious taste, lots of options, no sushi which was disappointing…. Didn’t taste their poke bowls but maybe next time. Service is fast but it got packed around 5pm so go there early. Family friendly restaurant. Go here for your ramen fix!“

“Really enjoyed this place. It is a little smaller and we appreciated that while there was music playing it was quiet enough that it don't interfere with your ability to have a nice conversation. The staff was very friendly and made some great recommendations. Also loved that they had a variety of appetizers and sushi rolls that you won't find other places. They were unique and really good. We will absolutely be returning.“

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

“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“

“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 🍣😘“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“I think this id perhaps the best Sushi anywhere in Douglas county. It is certainly the best I have had in the Denver area. The service is excellent. We were seated quickly and the specials were explained to us. The fresh sea scallop was amazing. We ordered a la cart Nigiri which was super fresh and great size portions. Our new go to place for sushi! I am celiac and was able to eat Gluten Free here safely!“

“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.“

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

“This place was so good! This is one of the best ramen shops I’ve been to in awhile. The food was so good. I meant to get photos and found I was already done before I could think of it because that’s how good it was. The atmosphere is so nice and I love the anime on the TVs and figurines here. They have both in person and robotic service which was pretty cool. I can’t wait to come back!“

“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.“

“The Best here in Denver away from the ocean“

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

“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've had hundreds of meals from Sugami at this point and I felt like I need to throw them back some love. I'm picky. I've had meals from nearly every local restaurant in the area and Sugami is my favorite for the price point. They use high quality ingredients, everything is always cooked fresh, and they provide very generous portions. I skimmed through the reviews and want to clarify just a few things. Sugami is definitely a takeout place, they don't have a very large interior. Finally, I want to say they still sell homemade fried dumplings so I'm not sure what was happening with that reviewer.“

“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!“

“Excellent Sushi with every bite!“

“Fun atmosphere and great food. Always entertaining.“

“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!“

“Best sushi in Parker! Always delicious 🍱 🍣“

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

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

“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!“

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

“Wonderful service, excellent food I would absolutely recommend this place!“

“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.“

“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“
