50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Englewood

“Awesome food and fantastic service~“

“We had intended to try monks Indian, but they were closed so we came here instead. So glad we did. Very accommodating to my service dog and request for a half booth. I had the black dragon and hubby had the Philly. A large sake completed the home run. Everything was absolutely delicious and our server Wendy was a doll keeping drinks refilled and just the right amount of checking in. Would definitely recommend. As an aside we loved the music they were playing.“

“Absolutely one of my favorite restaurants! Used to come here with my dad when he worked in the tech center and I can't stay away. I always get the mild chicken ramen and would eat the entire menu every visit if I could. The couple who works the front and the kitchen are the sweetest people. Food comes out very fast and is always very high quality for a reasonable price. Try out Sakura Bowl if you like delicious food!“

“A very dark and sorted tale of soul killing and agonizing terror with zero hints of intrigue and only heart stabbing comedy at my sole expense that led me here again. is still food here.“

“We eat at AKI at least twice a month. The sashimi & sushi is fresh, tasty & excellent. Along with our regular sushi & sashimi order, we usually order a seaweed salad, miso soup & shumai and these are always amazing. The sushi chefs are very skilled and the platters of sashimi and sushi are beautifully arranged. We will continue to eat at this restaurant and recommend it to all who love Japanese food.
The service is personal and excellent. The service is always amazing! Our server is knowledgeable about the fish and answers our questions about items we are curious about. Thank you AKI for all the wonderful meals we have been served and the fantastic service.“

“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!“

“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“

“Incredible experience every time. Mike takes personal care of us as he always has since we met him at the Westminster location. Omakase is a must for anyone who loves sushi. Chef is a super hero. 5 stars.“

“The food is really good , tender and tasty. There is minimal wait time off no more than 10 minutes. As soon as you walk through the door you are greeted and feel like you're with family. They should be getting more business than what they have.“

“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!“

“Great place! The service is wonderful, food is fresh, drinks hit the spot and environment is friendly, clean and welcoming.“

“I am very happy to see more and more high-quality sushi restaurants in Denver. The chefs are very friendly and know a lot of skills in handling sashimi. The sushi rolls are well matched, the taste is very rich, the waiters are very enthusiastic, and the overall decoration atmosphere is very good. People feel very comfortable. Happy to share this restaurant with you all.“

“muy buena atención al cliente y la comida exquisita“

“Deliciously fresh sushi. ALWAYS excellent service. Ask for Sonny, he's amazing! This is by far our go-to sushi restaurant!! you can't go wrong“

“I was in the parking lot and starving! Didn’t want ramen since it was so hot, so I went with a curry chicken bowl instead. It really hit the spot! The bowl had fried chicken, curry, and pickled radish—totally unexpected but awesome. The server was great, and since the place only had about three tables inside, I managed to beat the lunch rush. The ambiance was fantastic—small and intimate, kind of like being in Japan!“

“I had a couple of rolls (tuna avocado roll and colorful roll - one simple to try the basics and another for something that seems to be their own) from this great new spot. Both were very good. The sashimi appetizer was also delicious. The service was impeccable, and they listened regarding our dietaries. That was helpful. Parking is tough, being near Colfax work and neighborhoods (based on time of day I suppose), so note that. I will be coming back to try some hibachi and perhaps donburi. I can't wait.“

“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.“

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

“Great atmosphere, good food definitely good sushi!!!“

“Great food and service! The most tender chicken breast ever. The desserts are so delicious. Clean and cozy dining room. Staff that makes you feel like family. All around fantastic dining experience.“

“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.“

“Mugi’s ramen is delicious. I don’t eat pork or shellfish and there are options you can remove or modify which is greatly appreciated. The music is fun and upbeat and Pan’s service was impeccable for a quick dine in. We were walked through the menu very thorough and it was pretty great. Glad we checked it out!“

“My husband took me here for my birthday last night. Our first time there. Everything was absolutely amazing and delicious! We had the Omakase. Outstanding! I highly recommend this place! The atmosphere was beautiful, clean and perfect. The sushi chefs were very nice and talented. Very impressive! Can’t wait to go back!“

“Delicious sushi etc. I was told they are owned by Sushi Den. This is by far the best Japanese restaurant in town! I highly recommend. They have buzzers at the table if you need your waitperson! What a great time we had.“

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

“Passed this place many times but never stopped. Decided to stop in a month ago and try it. All I can say is WOW! It was fantastic. Service was exceptional and loved the atmosphere. Ordered takeout last week and still, food was amazing, fresh, and so good. This is definitely my new favorite sushi spot! Highly recommend!“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“The Best here in Denver away from the ocean“

“It was so good the service it so good and the food came so fast“

“Cannot believe I haven't had Taki before! Really really great sushi for the price I was shocked. Spicy gyoza is incredible and some of my favorite I've had. Fish is fresh. For a not super upscale spot I'm super impressed. Presentation is great.“

“Say it with me... Spicy Crispy Tuna!

Oh wow is it delicious! This dish is made at some of Denver's top restaurants (Ex. Guard & Grace) and it's one of my all time favorite things to eat!!

Everything about this Sushi spot is done well! I enjoy every visit, takeout or dine-in!“

“Excellent Sushi with every bite!“

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

“This is my favorite sushi spot in Denver. Across the board, it scores highly in all the metrics I consider to define a good restaurant.

Coming from the coast, I was tentative about the quality of fish to expect, but I was pleasantly surprised. The yellowtail is delicious, and the eel in the Rock N Rolla was very well prepared. The richness of the Takoyaki (octopus balls) reminded me of Dutch Bitterballen. I had a Sake martini as well, which was very light and flavorful. The collection of sake is something I plan on diving deeper into in the future, and the entire menu is adventurous and exciting.

The service was impeccable. Food came out promptly, and appetizers, drinks, entree, dessert were all precisely placed and delivered exactly as they were expected to be. Occasionally I feel rushed at restaurants with prompt service, but the food all arrived in a timely manner with proper temperature. The server learned my and my parties names, referring to us by them for the rest of the evening. I got good recommendations from him for the menu, and tried the quail egg (uzura nigiri) and salmon roe (ikura sashimi), which were both delicious. When I mentioned that I was curious to find my places with a similar vibe, he got a napkin and wrote me out a list of his favorite restaurants in the Denver metro. I don’t know if I’ve ever had service at a restaurant that was so professional, efficient, and personal.

The atmosphere was exactly what I was hoping for. Upon entering, you’re presented with a wall of customers’ sake masu, a personalized container from which to drink sake. The soft chatter of conversation gives an organic vibe while natural wooden hues lend the space their tranquility. I sat at the bar, where the chefs prepare the courses in front of you. Trying the various sashimi and nigiri, after watching them be prepared, reminds me of omakase without the steep price point. I was looking for a romantic place to catch up with a friend, and I don’t know if a better place for that exists.

Tokio is a hidden gem, and discovering it felt like striking buried treasure. It’s charm and soul remind me of the hole in the wall restaurants I grew up with in New York, and was sorely missing. I will certainly be coming here more.

Tokio is affordable, charismatic, and delicious.“

“I believe I spoke with someone named Josh, I had made a mistake on my order and Josh was very helpful, professional and quick with helping me resolve the issue. I would highly recommend this location. Great professionalism and customer service! Thank you.“

“Here you will find authentic delicious Japanese country cooking. Having eaten all over Japan I can say there is a very big difference between Americanized Japanese food and authentic classic Japanese cooking. While the interior is dated and not necessarily attractive, it makes no difference to me because the food takes you away to Japan in your mind and you forget about all else.“

“Visiting Denver from out of town. Stopped in for some lunch. Was seated immediately and allowed to pick out our seat. I tried the Tokyo Shoyu ramen which was delicious. Everything was cooked well. The waiter even accommodated my request for an extra piece of Bok Choy which im sure was a unique request. Next time I'm in town I'll be sure to stop by“

“amazing! my son and I went for a late lunch and it was so good! definitely going again“

“The spam musubi has been my favorite snack/pick me up lately. They were the only place I could get and iced coffee on new years. Every time I eat a musubi here I am never disappointed and they are a great place to get quick cheap and good sushi always!“

“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!“

“Awesome food and friendly staff made me, and keep me a regular. The whole family have become "addicts".“

“My daughter wrote on her school paper that Tokyo Joes a was her favorite restaurant when whe was in kindergarten (age 5). She just graduated high school (age 18) and we have continued to visit & enjoy on a regular basis. The great healthy food, comfortable atmosphere and the memories we've shared at a Tokyo Joes, will keep us coming back!“

“I really like to eat ramen, and this place is definitely stands out with their quality. They brought a beer with a cooled glass and ramen was just right - spicy enough, with meat chunks not being too fatty. I would definitely come back here.“
