“10/10 great experience. I come from Texas and we were a party of 4. We got to Colorado kinda late but the workers still gave us excellent service and we didn’t feel rushed even though we got done eating 30 minutes before closing time. Shrimp Tempura roll is delish!“

“My husband and I had just arrived in Golden, were ambling down Washington Street, Historic Golden’s main drag, and stumbled into what turned out to be a great sushi joint: Okinawa– for a bang-up lunch of truly fine sushi, sashimi, seaweed salad, & sake! EVERYTHING looks 100% better after a meal like that!“

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

“It's good, but they skimp on the yum yum sauce. We have to buy extra and the tiny cups they put it in are barely half full. We came here when they opened and they were much more generous with it... I'm pretty sure the to go cups of yum yum sauce got smaller.“

“I've been sleeping on this place! The build-your-own poke bowl had fresh ingredients that tasted amazing. Wish I would have taken a photo. It's clean inside (maybe a little too air conditioned but I'm always cold so can't hold it against them.) Staff is great. I'll be back.“

“Fresh. Yummy. GF/DF options make my stomach happy. Thank you.“

“The friendly staff and consistently delicious food never disappoints!!! thank you for always giving great service. Big Kudos to the Sunday team for making the best bowl I’ve ever had! Special thanks to the cashier with the metal-rimmed circle glasses—you were a Gem“

“Great Experience!!! They did it again 🔥“

“went for the first time yesterday. got that curry soup which was good (well order again not too sweet like coconut curt can be sometimes) but I asked for my rice on the side since it was to- go. rice was left off :( also, there was a little piece if eggshell in my soup. I was so glad that was at the end bc my feelings would have been hurt if I found it before I was just about finished eating. my daughter had a Cali roll that she said was good. and a kid's bento box. the Ramen was a bit dry IMO but everyone liked it fine. good mango lemonade. I did an Arnold Palmer with mine.“

“If you’re ever at the mall and craving Japanese cuisine, this spot is a must-visit.

The food here is consistently delicious, making it a standout in the food court. The staff are incredibly friendly and always go the extra mile to ensure a great experience.

They’re happy to let you sample before you commit, which is a nice touch. Plus, they don’t skimp on portions, so you definitely get your money’s worth.

If you’re looking for a satisfying meal with a side of excellent service, this place should be at the top of your list.“

“What an amazing sushi experience!

This was our first visit here and I'm sad that we are just now discovering this place! We absolutely love sushi, but always seem to crave it on Mondays when our usual sushi spots are closed. We stumbled upon this place online and the restaurant looked nice and food looked yummy! I'm happy we gave it a try, this is now one of our favorites!

Restaurant is very clean, and laid out nicely! You have options to sit at tables, tables with booths, and also up at the sushi bar. The staff was very friendly and attentive, we were sat right away! It was refreshing that it wasn't too busy either!

Food was AMAZING! They unfortunately don't have All You Can Eat options, but it didn't matter to us since it was our first time here. We ordered the Hako sushi roll, Crazy Salmon Roll, Playboy Roll, and the Red Dragon Roll along with some of the nigiri. We also tried the Pork Gyoza. Everything was awesome! The Crazy Salmon Roll is on the spicy side, so be prepared! It was really good though! For dessert, we tried the Tiramisu. It was good, but next time I'll get the Mochi ice cream instead.

The staff was very attentive and friendly! The bathrooms were also very clean (yes, I pay attention to the bathrooms because dirty bathrooms usually means other areas are dirty too).

Everything about this sushi restaurant was great! We are very happy we found this place, we love sushi and I highly recommend coming here if you're a fan of great sushi restaurants!“

“One of my favorite restaurants. The food and service here is amazing.“

“In light of the new management, I assigned a rating of 4 to the atmosphere, acknowledging that the venue is still undergoing decorative changes.

We came in because the pictures on their Google maps suggested that sushi was an option, but we were disappointed to find that it was not available, and consequently, we chose to indulge in some appetizers which were very yummy and boba tea, with the boba tea being exceptionally delicious. As someone who is meticulous about boba and also makes it at home, I was impressed by the comparable quality of theirs.

All in all I will definitely be back for more, see you soon Man Wah!“

“be there twice now love this place 😍“

“This little hole in the wall. Sushi bar is so amazing. 10 out of 10. Recommend if you’re in the area stop by and try it. Especially during lunch because they have an amazing lunch special! $27 for all you can eat sushi. There’s nothing better!

I definitely recommend the seaweed salad and the spicy at edamame! For being a sushi place in Colorado. The fish is very fresh and I love it so much def some of the best sushi in Colorado.

My only complaint was the Uni (sea urchin) didn’t taste very fresh.

Everything else was amazing.

It is an amazing calm. Nice atmosphere. You get to see everybody working on your food while it’s being prepared. So you know it’s fresh and the service is amazing. Everybody is so kind.“

“Alexa is by far the person in Colorado that I would go to for AMAZING jams!“

“Some of the best sushi I have had in denver to date. Reasonably priced and outstanding presentation of their dishes. The sushi melted in my mouth in a way ive never experienced before and the flavors were outstanding. The restaurant is a rather stereotypical asian themed interior and the service was on par for a small shop like this, but the food was incredible.“

“Very good Sushi nice place to eat.“

“I generally don't eat any kind of fast food. Today I ended up in the neighborhood with no lunch. A co-worker suggested Teriyaki Madness. I got one of their chicken bowls, spicy! It was very good and very spicy!!
My only complaint about the food is that the vegetables were way overcooked.“

“I'm giving this a 5 star rating for one reason, the hot and sour soup is spot on. It's the only thing I've eaten here and it's amazing and well priced. A small hot and sour soup was just over $3 dollars, I imagine the large is around $5.“
