50 Best Sushi Bars 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“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

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

“I already love Sushi Den and when they came out with this new omakase style restaurant it did not disappoint. They way they talk about where they sourced the rice to the detail of what type of vinegar it uses on the rice. The fish just melts in your mouth and the sushi rice just falls apart when it hits your mouth.“

“Fantastic food and atmosphere!!!“

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

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

“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.“

“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“

“Jet Sushi is a fantastic sushi spot that I visit often. The fish is always fresh and excellent, and the guys who work there are incredibly friendly and go out of their way to make sure you have a great experience. The video wall is a fun touch, and kids absolutely love it. If you want to support a great local business on Colfax, give Jet Sushi a try. You won’t be disappointed.“

“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!!!“

“My boyfriend and I have lived up the street from this place for almost 2 years and walked by it everytime. Today we came in to try it and wow we were so pleasantly surprised. A true hidden gem with a ton of great options and specials. The low carb options are delicious and all the fish is so fresh.“

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

“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.“

“This was a wonderful experience! As a sushi lover, this omakase experience has a very unique take on sushi. They are bridging more western flavor profiles that still compliment the flavors of the fish.

If you are a non-sushi person, I feel you just haven't had the right preparation and Sushi by scratch is very approachable.

Wonderful attentive staff that are extremely experienced in their craft. I can't wait to go back and see what other new bites they have come up with.“

“This one of a kind omakase experience was unforgettable! Chef Paul thoughtfully curated the menu based on his travels and heritage to his Laos culture which is so unique. The food was delectable and the drinks were complementary to every bite. Highly recommend!“

“muy rico y el serbicio super rapido“

“Fontana is always timely, delicious, and accommodating. They go out of their way to make sure everything is made fresh and the staff is always helpful and in a great mood. Portions are great and they have never let me down, highly recommend!“

“A Denver staple! Great spot for taking visitors, celebrations, or just a chill meal. Happy hour is every day until about 6. Lots of vegetarian/vegan options, and they make sure to use sustainably caught fish, so it's always fresh. Service is always awesome, too (Sam is the best!!!)“

“I’m not much of a sushi guy, but the food here is amazing! For the amount of food you get, the price is great. The service was excellent and they welcomed us warmly. You could tell that the sushi was good quality. I will definitely be back.“

“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 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.“

“I love this place so much highly recommend it for a family!!!So filling so delicious so tasty and greatly cooked or fried!!! So good!!!!!!!!!it is perfect👌👍👏👏🙌 (my 9 year old daughter who doesn’t usually try new things wrote this)“

“The sushi is delicious, and overall all the food is wonderful. The prices are unbeatable, and the atmosphere is calm and pleasant. The service is also excellent—truly 10/10. I’ve been a regular customer for over 10 years and will continue to be!“

“I've been here twice and so far the food has been amazing. I usually get salmon sashimi and a California roll. The quality of the sashimi is very good. The sushi rice is perfectly flavored. The atmosphere is more relaxed with interesting detailing on the walls. One thing that surprised me was how huge and clean the bathroom was. I really appreciated that.
My only complaint so far (and a big one, to me) is one of the servers. Both times I've eaten here, while she hasn't stared directly, it's clear she's watching you like a hawk! Typically I'd understand this, it's part of the job. But it felt like I was pressured to make a choice, eat my food, and leave. I took a friend the second time, and while unspoken, I didn't feel welcome to relax and enjoy our meal. Were they busy and needing to clear tables? No. Both times I've gone I was one of two, maybe three tables that were full. While I love the food, the feeling of constantly being watched has been so off-putting I'm hesitant to return.“

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

“My friend and I went here for Valentine's Day. We hadn't made plans because we weren't celebrating the holiday, so we had no reservations. The place was packed. The hosts were busy coordinating reservations that went as late as past 11 pm, as they were open until midnight. They were kind in their greeting and offered us space at the bar, if we could find it. We couldn't. As the wait time was over an hour and a half, we left to go somewhere else but decided to return a little later to check back at the bar. We found some seats that had just been cleared, so we saddled up for a chill time with chopsticks and great ambiance. We were greeted by the friendliest, most energetic bartender I've ever had the pleasure of interacting with while dining out, much less when a place is that busy. She had a smile for miles as she walked us through bar suggestions featuring her alcohol favorites. The reason we rallied to try again at Hapa was that my friend has a serious gluten issue with his severe celiac disease and has never had a problem with their dedicated menu. The gluten-free menu is extensive for such a specialized diet, automatically paired with their gluten-free soy sauce. Since we were sharing our samplings of sushi, sashime, salad, and sake, I went ahead and ordered from that menu as well. I didn't taste any difference in my experience. Our servings were well-timed with salad, main dishes, accompanying sake and wine... and, again, our awesome bartender sharing company with us, a truly gifted gal of service. If I tried to recommend this place more, I'd sound silly. That said, thank you for one of the best Valentine's Day, un-Valentines evenings I've ever had! We left happy with our choice for the night and full in our bellies!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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“

“Decent spot for relatively affordable sushi and other Japanese food! They have great lunch special deals.

Their sushi quality was quite good. The curry chicken katsu was super tender, yummy, and HUGE. I didn’t love their sushi roll selection—most seem very “Americanized” with cream cheese, deep fried, lots of kani etc. So to me, the rolls selection that I’d like to eat was quite limited. That being said, the ones we ordered (surf & turf and ocean garden) were both delicious.

I would come back!“

“This restaurant is a little known gem in Denver! I lived in Thailand for 9 months and really crave the more authentic Thai taste and this place is the real deal! But what makes it special is also the service! The servers are so kind and remind me of the super hospitable people I met while living in Buriram and Chon Buri. I highly recommend checking them out when you're in the area!“

“We got Spicy Tatsu and Tan Tan Ramen, gyoza, and a California Roll. The Tatsu is exceptional and I guzzled about all of the broth down. It has chasu (pork belly) and chicken, bamboo strips, marinated egg, bok choy, and seaweed. The Tan Tan has a spicy peanut broth with ground chicken. We’ve had the Tonkatsu and Miso on other occasions and I recall liking all of them. The restaurant is pleasant and staff is attentive and kind. They often have sporting events on their three TVs, so we got to watch some World Cup this evening, which was great.“

“Thomas is the best server in Denver. Hands down. This man is so funny, so sweet, so ironic and sarcastic, so frickin good at his job. My partner and I had the luck of having him serve us again and best believe we will be there weekly for the fresh sushi, amazing specials, and Thomas’s excellent service ❤️“

“Super delicious food and good service. I'll definitely eat here again!!!“

“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!“

“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 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.“

“We went as a family and I can’t recommend Colima enough! Delicious, authentic food, kind, efficient service, and great margaritas and Palomas! They were set up so that my kids were welcome and I didn’t feel self conscious that they were interrupting other guests. We will be back without the kids to sit at the bar. I am coming back for a marg and queso!“

“Been going to Aloha Cones since it’s beginnings in Honolulu and was pleasantly surprised to find it here in Denver!

Is the best legit Hawaiian style poke spot in Denver/Colorado. Fish was fresh and delicious. Portions were perfect.

Will be back for more!“

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

“The cucumber salad was very unexpected, spicy and delicious. It had imitation crab and was mixed with a spicy mayo. I would highly recommend. We also got 4 different rolls and they were all amazing. Very fresh tasting. The service was great and we will definitely be back!“

“Once we found this place, it became a regular treat for takeout 🥡. Everything we order is consistently delicious. We've tried a variety of dishes and will continue to have this be our go to place for Chinese food. Plus, the owners are kind and proud of what they serve. Hard to find given the construction, yet definitely worth it.“

“the food was absolutely delicious! we had such a good time! loved our hibachi entertainment!“

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