48 Best Japanese Restaurants near Glendale

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Came here a little while ago for a little date night. Place is pretty solid, not quite outstanding like many of the reviews here seem to state though. Some of the rolls are a bit rice heavy, but are creative and have good flavor. Fish quality was above average.“

“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.“

“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“

“My girlfriend and I walked here after visiting the Nature and Science Museum. The atmosphere was calm and relaxing on a Friday around noon. The avocado salmon roll was buttery umame and the Tonkatsu ramen hit just right. The pork flavor was strong but not too rich, and they gave me a generous portion of pork belly. It was served the perfect temperature. Will be back again when visiting Denver“

“I tried the shrimp tempura bowl, and it was fantastic! The flavor was amazing, and every bite was so good that I couldn't get enough. The portion size was generous, making it feel like a great value for the price. I'll definitely be returning for more!

The inside of the place has a pretty standard vibe as well as the service--nothing too special--but the cool part is that you can watch them prepare your bowl right in front of you, which adds a nice touch to the experience.

Overall, it's a solid spot for a delicious meal, and I highly recommend giving it a try if you're in the area!“

“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 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!“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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“

“Amazing experience from start to finish! The sashimi platter was absolutely stunning—fresh, thick cuts of salmon, tuna, and white fish beautifully presented and incredibly clean in flavor. You can truly taste the quality of the fish. The chef’s special toro with uni and caviar was a standout—rich, buttery, and perfectly balanced. The sweet shrimp was another highlight, super fresh and naturally sweet, with a great texture.
The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the service was attentive without being rushed. Everything felt thoughtfully prepared, from presentation to execution. If you love high-quality sushi and beautiful plating, this place is a must-visit. I’ll definitely be coming back again! 🍣✨“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“Only gave 4 stars since I don’t like poke and can’t make a judgement, but the ramen is great! Really tasty gyoza as well and very good tea. It’s a lot more lowkey than some other ramen spots in Aurora/denver, very casual which I love.“

“Excellent! Best Sushi In Denver Metro!“

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

“Utterly DELICIOUS! Intimate setting! Treat yourself!“

“This restaurant was so yummy! I've been wanting to try it for a while. We went on a Friday night and from what I can see once they nail down some processes, this place will be so good. The waiters were super nice, but for example, we stood at the front door for nearly 10 min before someone came over to us. Once we were finally sat and ordered the food came surprisingly quickly.. for the most part. My husband ordered something from the rice kitchen, while I ordered a ramen bowl. My ramen came out nearly 15 min after his entree. I'd definitely recommend the food from this place and am hopeful that they can solidify some things and be great!“

“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.“

“Kumoya never disappoints. The sushi is excellent and sitting to watch the chefs prepare the dishes is always a highlight for me. The service was a bit slow last night, which was unusual. And it can sometimes be confusing who to order from when at the sushi bar. . . . they chef or the server. Overall, I will continue to go back when wanting a great sushi meal!“

“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.“

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

“I'll be back! most definitely 👍“

“Taki Sushi is a hidden gem with plenty more on the menu to round-out your tasting experience! The wife & I shared chef's Mango Chicken Salad, perfect for an appetizer, especially paired with a roasted Miso Eggplant, served elegantly atop a long banana leaf, nice presentation! We were full after splitting a Yakisoba & a few rolls! Try the Fugi Roll for a slightly larger combination bite (caviar garnishment). The fish was very fresh & clean, and the restaurant very well kept. Amazing service. Memorable date night!“

“I've had hundreds of meals from Sugami at this point and I felt like I need to throw them back some love. I'm picky. I've had meals from nearly every local restaurant in the area and Sugami is my favorite for the price point. They use high quality ingredients, everything is always cooked fresh, and they provide very generous portions. I skimmed through the reviews and want to clarify just a few things. Sugami is definitely a takeout place, they don't have a very large interior. Finally, I want to say they still sell homemade fried dumplings so I'm not sure what was happening with that reviewer.“

“My family enjoys dining here often. We like supporting a family owned restaurant with one of the best ramen bowls we have had. Highly recommend the seafood ramen bowls and dumplings. It’s been our favorite for cold nights. The price is reasonable.“

“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.“

“I usually don’t leave reviews but this one deserves it 100 percent. I’m an asian woman and i’m very picky when it comes to asian foods. I bought the ramen and it tastes amazing. The ingredients are rich and the ginseng tastes like a cure. Best ramen I ever had in my life, no joke. And the staff are amazing, very quick, responsive and friendly.“

“We have been dining here since they opened and have not been disappointed. The food is fresh and tasty and the service is friendly.“

“Excellent Sushi with every bite!“

“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!“

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

“😲 Your chicken curry 😲 was so good. It was the first time I've ever had any curry in my life. Seen it in an anime not too long ago and wanted to try it. There's nothing American about this curry. I believe I tasted true Japan curry in every bite. 😋“

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

“It was delivered fresh and hot. In addition, Deborah F’s order (and her child’s) was delivered to me. It was sooo good. I’m sorry the other Deb didn’t get her meal this evening, but I can attest that Tokey Joe makes good food using fresh ingredients. I would have given 5 stars, but only gave 4 because they goofed up someone else’s order.“
