50 Best Sushi Bars in Denver

“This was the best sushi I have ever tasted in my entire life. I have never been to Japan but I can only imagine that it tastes like this. The yellow tail sashimi was AMAZING. It was so buttery and smooth and it tasted so amazing. I can still remember how incredibly it tasted and my mouth is watering thinking about it.“

“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“

“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!“

“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.“

“Fantastic food and atmosphere!!!“

“Our waiter was spectacular and was an ultimate holiday treat .“

“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.“

“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!“

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

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

“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“

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

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

“Fantastic place, you can't go wrong. The service is unmatched. The fish is very tender and fresh, especially if you follow the waiter's suggestions. They are very generous, as well. Rolls are well filled and flavorful, plus their special rolls are topped with cuts as well. You can get a large meal for two with drinks for around $100 out the door and will really feel you've got your money's worth. The decor is a bit strange, but it's kind of amusing and charming.“

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

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

“7/10. Air conditioned toilet, enough said. Just that.. the urinal is behind that right toilet stall door, which is slightly inconvenient.. having a door you pushed aside slowly greet your bum halfway taking a piss.

Anyways, food was good! Chinese operators serving Japanese, which.. is a lot more common than first expected here. Sashimi was fresh, though the lunch sashimi set doesn’t even come with a bowl of rice, which $4? That’s a bad indicator. Still, eel sushi was average but hit the spot.

Vibe was alright, not too crowded around 1pm. Spent about $40+ for the sushi, and sashimi lunch set - though you get a free salad or miso soup. A bit much for one person, for one meal. So don’t come expecting to be filled for cheap. You can probably get away with spending around $20 if you weren’t a hungry fella like I was that day.

Overall not too bad, but not good enough to warrant the journey to come all the way here, unless of course, I was already serendipitously nearby. Enjoy.“

“I’ve been coming here since 2014 we love this place prices are reasonable staff is super friendly, always fresh!“

“best place to get ramen hands down , it's a must try.“

“The fish was fresh and I felt like they were generous with the amount of fish that they gave, especially with the nigiri. They had a decent amount of options for non-fish eaters too which is hard to come by at most sushi restaurants. My only qualm was that the rainbow roll came with a chunk of crab versus the imitation crab that is usually comes with a rainbow roll but that was on me for not paying closer attention. Regardless if that, everything we had was great and our server was SO friendly and helpful.“

“muy rico y el serbicio super rapido“

“The ramen is by far my favorite in town. The flavors stay Japanese but with a little twist but not obnoxiously different than traditional ramen. The sushi is really fresh and it's nice you can get a half bowl of ramen for a really good price and still have run for a little sushi. I recommend this place for takeout or door dash I have not dined in . If I could give them an extra star I would“

“Con Safos is an absolute gem and a must-visit! I stopped by during the holiday season, and the festive decor and fun holiday vibes instantly won me over. The seasonal drink specials were the cherry on top!

Holiday Drink Highlights:
White Christmas Spritz – Bubbly, fun, and interactive with the self-pour option!
Ho Ho Hoe's Don't Get Cold – A delicious cranberry vodka drink that felt like the holidays in a glass.

What We Tried & Loved:
Carne Asada Loaded Nachos – Perfectly crispy tortilla chips piled with tender steak, gooey cheese, pico de gallo, and sour cream. Total crowd-pleaser!

Chicken Flautas – These rolled tacos served in a cup were genius for a night at the bar, topped with fresh lettuce, tomato, and Cotija cheese.

Traditional Carnita Tacos – The street taco dream! Tender carnitas, cilantro, pickled red onions, and a salsa so good I wanted to take some home.

The combination of fantastic food, creative drinks, and lively ambiance makes Con Safos a place I’ll definitely return to. Highly recommend!“

“The wife and I have had many dinners there! The staff is always welcoming and greets us with a friendly smile. The food is always next level and delicious. Definitely a must stop during the summer when you are able to sit outside and enjoy the beautiful stars and eating great food!! Thank you for always making us and our experience wonderful!!!!“

“I came here for lunch during work a few months ago and have since made it my regular lunch spot. The atmosphere is peaceful, the service is friendly and impeccable, and the food is affordable, delicious, and authentic. Aside from a large variety of every type of sushi you can imagine, they have a number of other dishes. As a vegan, they have plenty of options for me, and I highly recommend the sweet potato roll - it's my go-to. Stop by for a relaxing lunch break or for a lovely dinner, you won't regret it!“

“Fresh, delicious, creative“

“This was hands down the BEST service I have ever had. We drove an hour to eat this food, and the manager was SO KIND and thanked us for coming all the way. The server, Brandon, was EXCEPTIONAL. Couldn’t be a better waiter. THOUSAND STARS ⭐️ ♥️we will be back very soon. 😊“

“I love this place, it's inside a grocery store, but they have a nice cafe with free wifi. Lots of grab and go options, but the chef will make anything you want fresh while you watch. Best part is the prices, it doesn't cost an arm and a leg to get my sushi fix. Poke bowl is only $10 bucks.“

“Amazing sushi in the Denver area and I live in arvada..I order from them through uber and it's always on time and FRESH. the CRAZY TUNA ALONG WITH THIS MAGICAL SPICY SAUCE IT COMES WITH IS THE BEST COMBO I have ever tasted at a sushi restaurant. I had to add the caps for the understanding of how amazing this dish is. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE FOR SUSHI HIGHLY ? ? ?“

“Good place in general! I highly recommend this restaurant…“

“Such a cute spot, not loud or busy at all on a Friday evening at 5pm so it was perfect for a yap session with my best friend. Small and intimate place for sushi. I had the spicy girl roll and the rainbow roll and it was amazing. Pineapple jalapeño margarita was perfect 🍍🌶️🍹“

“sushi train has a super nice staff. don't always judge a book by its cover. I've been going to this place for years and really love it. please check them out“

“Love love loved our experience. Terrific value for money here. We had the sushi/sashimi platter for two and walked away fully sated. And it’s delicious 🤤 the miso soup, so often a throw away was splendid. We’ll be back and we’ll be bringing friends!“

“All aspects 10/10; food taste, presentation, service, quality/freshness of ingredients, value for price, even the dishware were all perfection! I'm a traveler visiting from the East Coast and this was by far my best experience at a sushi place. We also got some ice cream on the house at the end! Kudos!! 👏🏻👏🏻“

“We come here often because the food is delicious! And on top of that they are CU Buffs!!!“

“Unique fusion restaurant in a residential area. Patty is a sweet lady who originally started this as a sushi restaurant but lost her sushi chef so she continued it to a fusion Thai and ramen shop. It serves some ramen dish that literally mix Thai curry. But they also serve traditional Thai and Japanese offerings. Curries are legit hot. The decor and ambience is very modern and the place is very clean. The area where this is located is a very nice residential area.
She told me that some people have issue understanding her because of her accent and she sometimes uses google translate with her phone to say in Thai what she intended in English. She told me some people sometimes are mad due to communication issues. Please people be nice she’s only been here a few years.

Dietary restrictions: Lots of options.

Parking: Well lit and very clean.

Wheelchair accessibility: Ver large spaces between tables.“

“Great drinks & food. Even better service. Try the High-proof old fashioned & Foraged Roll 👌🏽“

“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.“

“Absolutely loved the food here. Service was also friendly and prompt. I have been looking for a great neighborhood spot that doesn’t break the bank and this is definitely it. Great portions on the nigiri and perfectly fresh. This is my new go to for sushi that could easily rival Uchi or Temaki Den on quality of fish.“

“We were staying in Cherry Creek and looked up Ramen places. Even though there were some nearer to our hotel, I looked up reviews and this place was highly recommended. We all ordered the Tonkatsu ramen and we all loved it! The pork had a lovely grill flavor and the egg was perfect because it wasn't to soy-saucy marinated. The noodles were classic and the bowl was huge! Service was friendly and fast. Highly recommend.“

“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!“

“We went for bowls of Ramen to ease our holiday coughs and make the colder weather easier. Excellent ramen, both regular and spicy tonkatsu. Broth, noodles, pork belly were everything we wanted. Home made gyoza worth the order. We'll be back.“

“This is the best hidden gem for sushi in Denver. I come in here as much as I can and show my friends this place every time we talk about having sushi. The server William is the absolute man, is super friendly and always provides 5 star service. Izu will always be my favorite!“

“I ordered the sushi supreme and it was delicious!“

“The entrance is a little hard to find, due to the main stairs being blocked off, but if you go around the building by the dumpster there is a hidden staircase. As soon as you walk in, the lights are down low, but the atmosphere is very familiar, and calm. The service is excellent, i was treated with love and care, and the food was most definitely made with love. The food was more than delicious, and i love how the woman always checks up on the costumers. Great restaurant for a first date, or a calm meal and conversation. 5 stars.“

“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 🍣😘“

“We had a lovely meal here on a Friday evening. My Mom was in town and lives in a rural area that lacks good Japanese so this was a real treat for her. The food was 5/5. Impeccable & expertly prepared with thought and passion which translated directly into the quality of the food and each bite was truly special or of exceptional quality, the atmosphere is a neat and aesthetically pleasing marriage of Japanese tea house and a trendy club in Barcelona. Unfortunately our server was incredibly quiet. No one at the table could hear or understand her, We asked her to speak up and repeat things multiple times but she only seemed to grow more quiet until we started having a debate at the table about if she was playing a joke on us or if it was intentional. Luckily the rest of the staff were buzzing around us like busy bees and seemed really well informed and were able to give us detailed descriptions of what we had been served, since we couldn't hear our server and the rest of the staff was kind enough to speak in audible tones.“

“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!“

“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!“
