39 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“

“Great service and great food!“

“Has a good menu, tried a lot of the options. It’s a great lunch spot, and would be a good dinner choice. What was noted is how large the green tea mug is- that’s fantastic, and the bowl of edamame was also large. Minus a star reasoning- good food, quaint location, and friendly service, but nothing felt like “wow, I will brag about that meal”. And there are some sushi meals that I still think about today. So 4 is that’s it’s a good place to go, you’ll have really good meal, and it’ll be at the same cost of other places.“

“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!“

“We had such a great experience at Japon! The food was absolutely delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. Everything we ordered was amazing, especially the ramen! The service was excellent as well, everyone was very friendly, attentive, and welcoming. We came with the family and had such a nice time. We will definitely be coming back! Highly recommend!“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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!“

Great spot! The ramen was excellent, and the rice bowl was just as delicious. Everything tasted fresh, well-seasoned, and made with quality ingredients. The portions were generous, and the service was friendly and fast. I’ll definitely be coming back to try more items on the menu. Highly recommend this place if you’re craving great Japanese comfort food.“

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

“Everything was fantastic...starting with Abby, hostess with the mostess. Kayden, the chef lead, stopped by to thank us for returning and also celebrating with them. Alma was so attentive, with wonderful recommendations and effortless vibes. Our glasses were always full, as were our stomachs by the end. I selfishly want to gatekeep the news of daily HH, because the deals are superb.“

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

“Absolutely delicious! Great sushi, fresh fish, and fantastic prices. The staff is friendly and amazing! So glad I found this place!“

“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.“

“Favorite place ever to come!!!! Best best best curry and sushi!!! great quality! Mario was great and made fun for sitting at the counter! AND the owner loves Hannah Montana and was playing a great playlist!! and we also had G as our server! Thank you all so much!!“

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

“Fantastic food and atmosphere!!!“

“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!“

“Amazing sushi! We ate here twice on our vacation to Denver! 🥰🥰🥰“

“Great food and drinks not to expensive“

“The Best here in Denver away from the ocean“

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

“Love this place. Great food great service really nice HH! Adrienne“

“Best sushi I’ve ever had. We were traveling from out of state & the only thing I have to complain about is there aren’t any locations outside of Denver, ruined all other sushi for me. Can’t wait to come back.“

“The food here was delicious. Also, the comedy show is so so good! This is a unique, fun place for dinner and a show.“

“This is one of my favorite restaurants in Denver period. I’m Japanese and have eaten at every Japanese restaurant in Denver and I just keep coming back. This is a perennial, family run establishment that serves traditional Japanese food. Everything on the menu is great, and there’s a dish for everyone; if you’re looking for a reliable and affordable Japanese spot for lunch, this is it.

Don’t care for nor listen to the negative reviews regarding “slow” service or whatever else people are nitpicking. The family that runs the restaurant works really hard every single day, providing delicious food and great service. Not everything is perfect, but thats how I like it; the waitress is an older Japanese lady who works extremely hard alongside her family in the kitchen; it is disheartening to see negative comments from people who are unable to understand how much work it takes to run a restaurant.

Thank you for feeding me every week, and I hope everyone shows some love to this place!“

“Clean and inviting atmosphere! Friendly staff Great Chefs Beautiful and tasty food Reasonable prices Stop in if you’re nearby!!!“

“Some of the best sushi!!! Would recommend to anyone!! So many choices!! It’s on the pricy end but completely worth it!!!“

“We came in late at night like evil evil people, that team was wonderful to us, Krista, our server, was on top of everything, had a smile the whole time, and recognized some of us from last time. I work in food, super respectable and impressive, the food and atmosphere is always wonderful when I go, I couldn’t glaze this place enough. Thank you Krista, Thank you Kitchen team, Thank you Sukiya. BEST RAMEN IN COLORADO“

“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.“

“Fresh, delicious, creative“

“I wanted to eat a bagel and drink some wine after going to the movies, so I saw some carnivorous plants instead. Since I was still hungry and thirsty I got a haircut. My hair was upgraded and I also drunk a bottle of wine. I got a tattoo afterwards. My leg looks fantastic and my bagel was also delicious, but something was missing. I got some sushi. It was brilliant but not as good as this bagel. I got a second one. That was missing. The second bagel.“

“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“

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

“My wife and I have been coming here for the past few months since moving in to the area. We are always greeted immediately and served within minutes. The presentation of the food is always on point and the music they play is perfect for everyone. Pricing is manageable but can get pricey fast. Highly recommend coming during the day. So worth it!!“
