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.“

“Fantastic food and atmosphere!!!“

“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!“

“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!“

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

“Phenomenal food, amazing service, great atmosphere.
We got a small room with a table, not the counter, but the service was still wonderful and I was actually still able to see one of the chefs preparing food.
It is absolutely expensive, but it's so worth it!“

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

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

“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“

“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!!!“

“I’ve passed by this location multiple times and not sure why I never stopped until today. The greetings you receive when you step inside are super friendly. The location is clean and makes you feel welcome. The service is 10/10; they are ready to take your order and check on your table frequently for drinks. The sushi has an incredible taste to it; this location will be my new favorite place for sushi. I regret not stopping by sooner. Their pricing seems much more affordable than any other sushi places I’ve been to!“

“We started coming here about a year ago for their awesome lunch sashimi specials and somehow it quickly turned into an almost-weekly tradition. Whether it’s a quick workday lunch or a full-on family feast, this place never misses.
The fish is always served at exactly the right temperature, which is surprisingly rare and makes such a difference. The spicy edamame is truly one of a kind and a must-order every time.
David takes incredible care of us on every visit, and our kids beg to come along because they feel like total VIPs. Warm, consistent service and truly excellent sushi. We’re so lucky to have this place in our neighborhood!“

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

“Stopped in after a haircut next door at cedar, it wasn't busy in the late afternoon early eve which was really nice. I had Kin Nori Bar on my radar so it was a happy accident to be right next door. It was dark and chill which I loved. The menu is super minimal which is a good sign in my opinion.
Everything I had was amazing, I was so impressed, the toro with caviar was a perfect bite and the unagi was so light and buttery! Everything was really fresh and high quality. The waitress was lovely and the chefs on display were amazing. I can't wait to come back again for a date night!“

“The best sushi experience I’ve ever had! Each omakase dish is so unique and crafted with creativity. The fish was delicious and super high quality. Overall the service and ambiance were amazing. They offer pre-dinner drinks and bites which was a fun way to start the meal. They were also very accommodating with my gluten allergy. A very expensive but very special meal“

“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!“

“This place is a true hidden gem. The service was excellent, my server handled every table efficiently and was very friendly, even when it was busy. I ordered salmon, amberjack, and scallop nigiri, along with a negihama roll, and everything tasted fresh. The portion sizes, from fish to rice, were well balanced, showing the care the chefs put into their work. It’s clear they take pride in their sushi. Overall, one of the best sushi experiences I’ve had in a while. I’d definitely recommend it.“

“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!“

“Had no idea Denver had a Blue Sushi location! I've visited the Dallas/Fort Worth iterations many times and while I think I enjoy those spots more, the Denver instance was still tasty for sure. I appreciated the typical scale of sushi options Blue has and the stellar drinks as well. Their shishito peppers and crispy rice continue to be stand out selections I'd recommend to others.“

“muy rico y el serbicio super rapido“

“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.“

“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!!!!“

“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!“

“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 lovers — this is your spot! 🥢
Okinawa Sushi on Tennyson serves some of the freshest sushi and sashimi I’ve had in Denver. Everything was fantastic — from the Yellowtail Jalapeño and Red Snapper Carpaccio to the specialty rolls like the Snow White and Playboy.

The fatty tuna nigiri was unreal — melt-in-your-mouth perfection. Beautiful presentation, great service, and a cozy spot right in one of Denver’s best streets. Can’t wait to come back!“

“10/10 ✨

I absolutely love this sushi spot. It’s become one of my local favorites. The service has always been fantastic.

The Kenji Veggie Roll, Spicy Maki Roll, AAC Roll & their mussels are all amazing. The Kenji Veggie Roll has mango & cream cheese along with fresh veggies inside. The mussels are some of the best I’ve had in Colorado.

The fish tank was a plus too and all of the fish were really cute. I live right around the corner so I will definitely keep coming back.

Thanks Kenji Sushi!!“

“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!“

“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!“

“I tried both the Thai food and the ramen, and they were both really good. The flavors were delicious and the food tasted fresh. The service was friendly, and the atmosphere was nice. I would definitely recommend this place if you’re looking for tasty Thai food or ramen.“

“My first visit and the food did not disappoint. There was a wait for some of the food but it came out hot and fresh especially my Takoyaki appetizer. My only slight disappointment was that the egg on top of one of my ordered dishes was a little over salted for my taste. Apart from that my first visit was a great experience alongside my youngest brother. Thank you for the great food especially the Spicy and classic Tonkotsu Ramen 🍜😋“

“What a great restaurant ! Fish is really fresh , love their salmon belly with wagyu beef on top, it’s even better than most of sushi that I had in LA , and I was amazed how reasonable the price is , staff are so friendly, it’s always on my top list to go every time I’m in Denver“

“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 ❤️“

“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.“

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

“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!“

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

“I highly recommend Aloha Cones. It’s truly one of the best poke spots I’ve ever had. I catered Aloha Cones for a large event at the University of Colorado Boulder, and Michelle was incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. She created such a fun and welcoming atmosphere for our guests.

The fish is sourced directly from Hawaii to Denver, and it was hands down the best poke I’ve had in Colorado. If you’re ever in Denver, I definitely recommend checking them out. Their poke nachos are absolutely out of this world!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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 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!“
