“Fresh sushi 🍣 and a fantastic Japanese Beer 🍻 and Saki menu“

“Soooo delicious! Just had one of my best meals out in a long while! Every item was delicious and save room for the fried milk dessert — trust me! Plus a great Manhattan with Japanese whiskey“

“Great service and great food!“

“10/10 experience. I was speechless! Every single thing we ordered was phenomenal and incredibly fresh. Best nigiri I’ve had in Denver. The rolls were also high quality and delicious. Our waiters were very kind and attentive. I can’t wait to go 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.“

“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!“

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

“Highly recommend this place! The food is delicious and beautifully crafted, and the pricepoint is reasonable as well. This is a great healthy, vegan option and I will definitely be a regular!“

“muy buena atención al cliente y la comida exquisita“

“I was in the parking lot and starving! Didn’t want ramen since it was so hot, so I went with a curry chicken bowl instead. It really hit the spot! The bowl had fried chicken, curry, and pickled radish—totally unexpected but awesome. The server was great, and since the place only had about three tables inside, I managed to beat the lunch rush. The ambiance was fantastic—small and intimate, kind of like being in Japan!“

“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!“

“My husband took me here for my birthday last night. Our first time there. Everything was absolutely amazing and delicious! We had the Omakase. Outstanding! I highly recommend this place! The atmosphere was beautiful, clean and perfect. The sushi chefs were very nice and talented. Very impressive! Can’t wait to go back!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Great food and service! The most tender chicken breast ever. The desserts are so delicious. Clean and cozy dining room. Staff that makes you feel like family. All around fantastic dining experience.“

“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“

“Food here is spectacular. The sushi is some of the freshest in town, and the cuts & presentation are special. There is usually just one chef and one waitress (I think maybe a husband and wife team, but I'm not sure), so don't expect it to be lightning fast. That said, it's worth the wait. Don't sleep on the vegetables. We got the garlic broccoli last time we were there and, despite it seeming to be very simple, it was once of the best dishes I have ever had. There are also some really interesting traditional style sushi that is unlike anything I've had at other local establishments. This is our go-to neighborhood spot when we don't feel like trucking across town to Sushi Den. Highly recommend 10/10.

My kids love the gyoza, tempura, and inari/tamago nigiris too!“

“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!“

“Utterly DELICIOUS! Intimate setting! Treat yourself!“

“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!“

“I'm so thrilled to see the DOMO is back open. This is one of my all-time favorite restaurants with some of the best food I've ever enjoyed. Entering the restaurant feels like passing through a magic gateway into rural Japan where you get to savor authentic country cuisine. Whether you're eating solo, on a date, or bringing the family, don't pass up an opportunity to enjoy everything the DOMO has to offer! I'll definitely be stopping in the next time I'm back visiting Denver.“

“Loved Kumoya yesterday! It was melt in your mouth delicious sushi! The service was impeccable and the GM was very friendly and loved chatting with him at the end. Overall there is not one complaint about our meal. Everything was timed perfectly, food was perfection, service was spot on.“

“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!“

“We love Kobe An and have been patrons going back 30 years since they were in Lakewood. Marco has done an amazing job with the new -er location and his staff is well trained. His newer sushi chefs are doing a fantastic job which leaves him free to focus more on the front of the house. We told him tonight that the sushi is the best it’s been in the 30 years we’ve been going to his restaurants. The hamachi and mussels were outstanding, as were the rolls and cocktails. The new Kobe An is the real deal.“

“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.“

“Great atmosphere, good food definitely good sushi!!!“

“The Best here in Denver away from the ocean“

“I am visiting from out of town. G (our server) was absolutely incredible, by far the best service in town. I had the sashimi 7 piece and every piece was the best of that fish I have had in my life. I highly recommend this place. Thank you again G! I hope you have a fantastic weekend, you are so kind.“

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

“I'll be back! most definitely 👍“

“Taki Sushi is a hidden gem with plenty more on the menu to round-out your tasting experience! The wife & I shared chef's Mango Chicken Salad, perfect for an appetizer, especially paired with a roasted Miso Eggplant, served elegantly atop a long banana leaf, nice presentation! We were full after splitting a Yakisoba & a few rolls! Try the Fugi Roll for a slightly larger combination bite (caviar garnishment). The fish was very fresh & clean, and the restaurant very well kept. Amazing service. Memorable date night!“

“Excellent Sushi with every bite!“

“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!“

“If you want to know what it’s like to eat at an actual restaurant in Japan, this is it. This is a very authentic little Japanese restaurant, serving up standard dishes with no frills, flavored and prepared very well. Service was a 1 woman show, super friendly but when it’s busy that means being patient. Atmosphere is not here to wow you. But all of this honestly contributes to the experience being exactly like eating at a little mom & pop restaurant in Japan. Everything was tasty, the tempura was flawless.“

“So excited to see that this venue will be hosting StageFluid and can't wait to come to these shows!!!! Sake Brewery??? Count me in!“

“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!“

“I've been sleeping on this place! The build-your-own poke bowl had fresh ingredients that tasted amazing. Wish I would have taken a photo. It's clean inside (maybe a little too air conditioned but I'm always cold so can't hold it against them.) Staff is great. I'll be back.“

“Really enjoyed this place! Haven't found a bento place anywhere else in Denver thus far. Pricing was reasonable for the amount of food in the bento, holy moly. Tofu teriyaki was delicious and came with tasty salad, a spring roll, and some kind of delicious tofu skin with rice and avocado. Plus edamame. I would come back again. Food came out quickly.“

“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.“

“We have had several great experiences here before we go see a movie next door, and I would say the value and service are what stick out the most. Their lunch sushi specials are a great deal, and I would recommend looking at your watch before going. $14 is a steal for the amount of food you get. And, although we are in the summer now, I love, love, love their ramen. I got the 1st sushi option this trip, and the wife got the 3rd one. The quality of the food was pretty darn good for the money, and our service was great. They give you wasabi, and I even asked for more (pictured...PLENTY of extra), but know they have a tasty chili sauce on the table too. This place is one of our light meal go-to's before a movie, when we stuff our face with truffle popcorn. The quality of sushi isn't quite a five, the ramen is sure close, I definitely recommend, and see you there...“

“Absolutely love this place! Has been great everytime.“
