30 Best Japanese Restaurants in Denver

“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“

“The same or better quality than sushi den at a better price point. Good portion sizes. Hamachi was really good. Only food complaints is there was maybe too much rice (which was just ok) and the uni was pretty bad. Not the absolute nicest place inside, but nice enough. Would definitely come back here“

“Great service and great food!“

“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!“

“Very good Ramen. Will definitely stop by again when we are back in Denver!“

“I had a couple of rolls (tuna avocado roll and colorful roll - one simple to try the basics and another for something that seems to be their own) from this great new spot. Both were very good. The sashimi appetizer was also delicious. The service was impeccable, and they listened regarding our dietaries. That was helpful. Parking is tough, being near Colfax work and neighborhoods (based on time of day I suppose), so note that. I will be coming back to try some hibachi and perhaps donburi. I can't wait.“

“Delicious omakase, elegant ambience, and friendly service. Dragon ball theme cocktails were a fun touch. Cool, modern spin on bibingka and very tasty too. The menu is priced higher but for special occasions and as far as quality goes, worth it. Had a really positive experience overall.“

“Utterly DELICIOUS! Intimate setting! Treat yourself!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“wonderful kind service

Oh my flerpin gerd on the food. The ramen. So warm and cozy and full of joy and vibrance. Could help anyone to the worst of times.

And then the sushi, the nagiri. I hadn't had such fresh teaching seafood since I was on the beach in Mexico years ago.

And that one where they get that smokey flavor with the torch!??? So much flavor making a little party in my mouf.

Thank you thank you thank you. I need not and won't ever seek out another Japanese restaurant. I've found my home.“

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

“Mugi’s ramen is delicious. I don’t eat pork or shellfish and there are options you can remove or modify which is greatly appreciated. The music is fun and upbeat and Pan’s service was impeccable for a quick dine in. We were walked through the menu very thorough and it was pretty great. Glad we checked it out!“

“The outside of the restaurant is deceiving, the inside is gorgeous! The absolute best sushi we've ever had in Denver. The price for the quality was incredibly fair. 10/10 can't wait to go back and try the ramen. We were time the ramen is mostly family recipe, so very excited!“

“High quality food, top notch service!
Peter, Christine, Eric, Ong and the rest of the team at Taki always make the experience special - even if its something as simple as a fun garnish on my plate or remembering my name and my favorite pieces.
I come around probably once a week since I live nearby, so I can walk home after enjoying a small bottle of sake.
Today I tired the hand rolls and was shocked by the sheer size and how absolutely stuffed they were! Also, the sake nigiri pieces are larger than life and I am obsessed with their umami red snapper and the beautiful presentation of the amaebi, sweet shrimp. I always get multiple orders of ikura and leave stuffed!
Love love love this place!“

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

“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.“

“The Best here in Denver away from the ocean“

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

“Here you will find authentic delicious Japanese country cooking. Having eaten all over Japan I can say there is a very big difference between Americanized Japanese food and authentic classic Japanese cooking. While the interior is dated and not necessarily attractive, it makes no difference to me because the food takes you away to Japan in your mind and you forget about all else.“

“There was no bok choy or sprouts in my bowl as the description says. I also paid for an extra egg to be added and there was no yolk it was just the whites. The flavor of the rest was really good though and the chasu buns were delicious.
Ordered to go and had to wait an extra 20 mins beyond the expected pick up time.“

“Easy find an conveniently located. The sushi are so cheap, delicious, and well sized. Got 5 pieces of tempura sushi for around $7. They give you sauces at request and a good amount. The menu has amazing prices, especially in this economy. There's also drinks and snacks if you're interested.

My only true issue is the wait time. They only take an order or 2 every 5 to 10 minutes. I waited around 30 minutes for my order. I forgive this since there were only 2 workers and a decent number of customers. Bathrooms and tables are there while you wait. Clean inside.

If you're looking for cheap sushi- don't buy it for nearly twice the price at the target or Walgreens on either side. Get it fresher and tastier here.“

“Great food and drinks not to expensive“

“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!“

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

“Fantastic food and atmosphere!!!“

“Ill start with the positive: all the food was great, we had the snow white appetizer plus the Hawaiian and Dynamite rolls. + some seaweed salad, salmon sashimi and a fried rice dish. Thumbs up for all of that. The food was ready about 15 minutes after the expected time and they forgot to include the spicy crispy tuna for the promotion so that was a little disappointing.“

“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!“
