41 Best Japanese Restaurants near Englewood

“Lots of portions, delicious taste, lots of options, no sushi which was disappointing…. Didn’t taste their poke bowls but maybe next time. Service is fast but it got packed around 5pm so go there early. Family friendly restaurant. Go here for your ramen fix!“

“I’ve been coming to this place for years now, and the quality has always been fantastic. It is a small business with usually just two people working so you may have to wait a bit but I promise it’s worth it. Absolutely recommend their food and fair prices.“

“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.“

“I got the titanic boat. The fish was fresh, but the nigiri wasn’t work it. You got enough fish anyways. I would just get sashimi and rolls. The fish was frozen and very cold. The miso soup had few ingredients and was mainly broth. The Godzilla roll was quite good.

Parking: The restaurant was difficult to find.“

“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!“

“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.“

“10/10 experience. I was speechless! Every single thing we ordered was phenomenal and incredibly fresh. Best nigiri I’ve had in Denver. The rolls were also high quality and delicious. Our waiters were very kind and attentive. I can’t wait to go back.“

“Great service! Friendly folks. They were very open and honest when my husband asked about which menu items were safe for someone with a shellfish allergy. They told us that the whole menu was off-limits to people with shellfish allergies. Many thanks and I wish this place the best. If you don't have a shellfish allergy, you should eat here!“

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

“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!“

“muy buena atención al cliente y la comida exquisita“

“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!“

“Really enjoyed this place. It is a little smaller and we appreciated that while there was music playing it was quiet enough that it don't interfere with your ability to have a nice conversation. The staff was very friendly and made some great recommendations. Also loved that they had a variety of appetizers and sushi rolls that you won't find other places. They were unique and really good. We will absolutely be returning.“

“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.“

“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“

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

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

“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.“

“Food here is spectacular. The sushi is some of the freshest in town, and the cuts & presentation are special. There is usually just one chef and one waitress (I think maybe a husband and wife team, but I'm not sure), so don't expect it to be lightning fast. That said, it's worth the wait. Don't sleep on the vegetables. We got the garlic broccoli last time we were there and, despite it seeming to be very simple, it was once of the best dishes I have ever had. There are also some really interesting traditional style sushi that is unlike anything I've had at other local establishments. This is our go-to neighborhood spot when we don't feel like trucking across town to Sushi Den. Highly recommend 10/10.

My kids love the gyoza, tempura, and inari/tamago nigiris too!“

“Loved Kumoya yesterday! It was melt in your mouth delicious sushi! The service was impeccable and the GM was very friendly and loved chatting with him at the end. Overall there is not one complaint about our meal. Everything was timed perfectly, food was perfection, service was spot on.“

“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!“

“I recently discovered this hidden gem of a sushi restaurant tucked away in a strip mall next to Starbucks and that shares a parking lot with Taco Bell in Highlands Ranch. From the outside, it’s easy to miss, But once you step inside, you’re in for a treat!

The menu is massive, offering an impressive variety of sushi, sashimi, rolls, and Japanese dishes. What stands out is the freshness of the food and the high-quality ingredients. The sushi was some of the best in the area, beating the regular spots in Highlands Ranch.

Our server was delightful —kind, attentive, and very helpful in navigating the menu. They made excellent recommendations and made us feel well taken care of.

The only downside is the atmosphere, which feels a bit blah and could use some updating to match the quality of the food. However, the restaurant just started offering beer, wine, and sake, and plans to expand their liquor menu soon, which is a promising!

Despite the unassuming location and lackluster ambiance, the incredible food and top-notch service make this my new favorite sushi spot in Highlands Ranch. If you’re looking for fresh, delicious sushi that outshines the competition, don’t let the location deter you—this place is great!“

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

“Best omakase in Colorado! definitely worth the experience!“

“My wife and I went here for a date night and had an excellent dinner.

First off, the building and atmosphere is very nice. The restaurant feels very japanese, but also very spacious and kind of swanky (especially for Aurora).

Secondly, the staff was very attentive and enthusiastic about the food. Our waiter did a great job of balancing taking care of our needs vs. leaving us alone to talk and enjoy or meal.

Thirdly, the quality and freshness of our food was extremely high. I would put leezakaya up against any place in Denver (sushi den, hapa, etc.)in terms of quality and freshness, but the price felt more than fair. We had some rolls, a sashimi plate, a bowl of ramen, a couple pieces of specialty sushi, and a macha tiramasu. Everything came out lightning quick and tasted excellent. I highly recommend the fatty tuna, ramen, and the lemon roll.

Fourth, after such a great meal, I was expecting our bill to be super big, but we paid about $160. Like i said, this felt more than fair!

Overall, with all of the excellent choices of restaurants in Aurora, I think it's hard to be blown away by a restaurant. Leezakaya sets itself apart by having ultra high quality seafood, good prices, and a great atmosphere. Our experience was fantastic and I am excited to go there again!“

“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.“

“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!“

“I think this id perhaps the best Sushi anywhere in Douglas county. It is certainly the best I have had in the Denver area. The service is excellent. We were seated quickly and the specials were explained to us. The fresh sea scallop was amazing. We ordered a la cart Nigiri which was super fresh and great size portions. Our new go to place for sushi! I am celiac and was able to eat Gluten Free here safely!“

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

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

“Excellent Sushi with every bite!“

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

“If you want to know what it’s like to eat at an actual restaurant in Japan, this is it. This is a very authentic little Japanese restaurant, serving up standard dishes with no frills, flavored and prepared very well. Service was a 1 woman show, super friendly but when it’s busy that means being patient. Atmosphere is not here to wow you. But all of this honestly contributes to the experience being exactly like eating at a little mom & pop restaurant in Japan. Everything was tasty, the tempura was flawless.“

“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!“

“The Best here in Denver away from the ocean“

“I am visiting from out of town. G (our server) was absolutely incredible, by far the best service in town. I had the sashimi 7 piece and every piece was the best of that fish I have had in my life. I highly recommend this place. Thank you again G! I hope you have a fantastic weekend, you are so kind.“

“Really enjoyed this place! Haven't found a bento place anywhere else in Denver thus far. Pricing was reasonable for the amount of food in the bento, holy moly. Tofu teriyaki was delicious and came with tasty salad, a spring roll, and some kind of delicious tofu skin with rice and avocado. Plus edamame. I would come back again. Food came out quickly.“

“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!“

“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!“
