Izakaya Restaurants near Denver, CO

“Best restaurant in Denver in my opinion. The food is beyond amazing, with lots of options great portions compared to restaurants at a similar level and is a perfect spot to go with a big group so you can try everything. Every dish I try becomes my new favorite! You have to make a reservation and try it.

My faves include; drinks - lychee martini, pearing knife. Creamy spicy tuna, Szechuan edamame, Szechuan dumplings, crab fried rice, lamb dan dan.“

“I ordered the chicken miso ramen for take out -- i didn't realize until I was eating it that I've actually never had *restaurant* chicken ramen before (only ever chasu pork restaurant ramen, or chicken instant ramen). It was absolutely delicious! Not quite as heavy and creamy as chasu pork ramen, which was what I was craving. It was still plenty hearty and satisfying, while also being a more fresh option than traditional ramen. I didn't stay long in the shop, but it had a great atmosphere!“

“It has the most delicious Japanese food and most notably, great hospitality. If you're in Denver, this is the place to go for a delicious meal. Please call ahead for reservations. My friends rave about the food here. Don't forget to try the chocolate cake and pineapple flip cake. We will probably go back tonight because we loved it so much. I had the tofu steak and spicy garlic edema beans. Gyoza, paneo oysters, baby back ribs and teriyaki chicken. The sushi rolls were good too!“

“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.“

“We were given this recommendation from a friend who lives in Denver. The food was INCREDIBLE, the drinks were delightful, the food came out quickly, despite them being busy on NYE. The music was loud, the laughter along with the people having a great time, made the perfect downtown Denver experience. The ambience is beautiful, the lighting and decor really set the vibe. We would definitely go back on our next visit.“

“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.“
