Sushi is one of my favorite forms of food. I did not expect to have the best sushi I've ever had in Denver. But on a recent stay in RiNo, my wife and I tried out Temaki Den. And the experience was amazing. First, the hostess was phenomenal. Amazing service. Went out of her way to improve our experience. Second, we went with the omakase to try and experience as many things as possible. Third, the nigiri and temaki is amazing. We went to a Michelin Star rated restaurant the night before, and while they was great... this experience was better. There wasn't an item served that wasn't lower than a 8/10. And MOST of the items were 9-10/10. To be honest, it didn't make sense to me. I've watched documentaries about sushi and how important fresh fish is... so how Temaki Den is able to get this quality is beyond my understanding. But it's nothing short of amazing. The ambience is probably the weakest aspect of the restaurant. It's not bad, by any means, but it's not "luxury." The restaurant is located in the middle of a mall-like shopping area. That wasn't a big deal to us, but if you need an "elevated" environment to eat at, this may not be for you. But the service and the food is outstanding and this is probably my favorite spot in Colorado. My thanks to everyone who works here for giving us a fantastic anniversary experience!

The waitress and manager deserve ten stars. Great service, food was very presentable and scrumptious. If u want some beer they also have it and a lot of variety of drinks. We liked sitting in their sushi bar and loved having conversations with the servers.

Really good sushi! Quality comparable to other omakase in nyc and dc. Pacing is not as structured because they seem to be very busy. Highly recommend!

After hearing from friends that this was the best sushi in Denver, I finally made it. Our party of 6 sat at the bar with no problem. I had been nervous about wait times with no reservations but it was almost empty for Saturday lunch at 12:30pm. We ordered several nigiri based on server/bartender recommendation and oh-my-heavens was it divine. My fav was the salmon belly. Also, opted for the sake flight and it was like a little history tour of Japan. Will definitely be back - often.
Recommended dishes: Salmon Belly, Yuzu Black Pepper Sorbet, Blue Crab Temaki

This is hands down one of the best restaurant experiences I’ve had. The staff here is amazing and the quality of fish here is beyond what I’ve experienced in the coast in terms of freshness. If you’re a sushi fan, beware…you may be ruined to find a better sushi house after a stop here. We make special plans to make a stop here every time we’re in town. Don’t miss it.

Rivaled only by sister restaurant, Sushi Den. Loved all of the different temaki rolls (forgot to take pics), the salmon starter and the matcha ice cream is a must try!

My favorite spot in Denver. The service is always immaculate, the food is to die for, the atmosphere is relaxing and welcoming, but still retains a classy vibe. I’ve never had anything but incredible meals at this establishment. In my opinion, it beats Uchi on value for money. Staff are also very kind and talkative, which elevates the already excellent atmosphere. Nothing but love for Temaki Den. Definitely don’t skip out on trying it!-Grant
