50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Highlands Ranch

“This place has been exemplary every time we come. The sushi chefs take great care in crafting the dishes and are extremely friendly. When we order hot tea, it never runs empty before we are offered another kettle of it. Even the California roll tastes terrific, and yet, it costs less than if you were to buy a roll off the shelf at the grocery store next door.“

“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!“

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

“We used to drive locally to castle rock venue but I was referred to this location in highlands ranch and the entire check list was demonstrably superior The place was ten times nicer ambiance and tastefully decorated and modern. Above all a very clean and well kept restaurant We had a fantastic hibachi chef. We got a sudden birthday disco like lighting surprise for my wife. The food was immaculate for all concerned. Our party of 8 truly had a wonderful time We would all strongly recommend it“

“Overall, I have always enjoyed my bowl but this time I decided to try the new wok spicy chicken….holy cow it was like eating fire! If you don’t like hot then I would avoid this new bowl…pretty sure my taste buds will be in shock for a little bit longer. Next time I’ll be going back to my standby salmon or regular chicken bowl.“

“Great experience here! The food was really good, I got chicken katsu and diver scallops the two times I’ve gone. Sushi is really good, but what I’m most impressed about is the little outdoor dining area they have! They managed to make a zenful, relaxing atmosphere in the middle of a busy strip mall. I love the lights hanging and the water fall thing, it’s so nice! And I LOVED the mango mousse cake. I normally don’t like cake too much, but this one is delicious.“

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

“Wow! The best kid-friendly service. We were brought little helper tools when she saw the kids were interested in learning to use chopsticks. She also offered to have our sushi rolls cut into thinner slices. So kind and helpful when a glass of water was spilled. We’ll be back!!“

“I liked my salmon bowl and the boba smoothie tasted good without being too sweet. My boyfriend liked his ramen, but not as much as I liked my salmon bowl. Restaurant is on the small side. I appreciate that this is a well priced and convenient place to get a healthy meal out.“

“muy buena atención al cliente y la comida exquisita“

“Very happy with the reopening of sushi castle! Everything was amazing, so glad you’re back!“

“This is a wonderful restaurant. It's Asian and sushi and sashimi. The fish is truly fresh. There is a miso black cod I have everytime I go. It's very flavorful and delicious. The sashimi salmon is high quality and very fresh. The menu has great variety.
The service is excellent.“

“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’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.“

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

“This place is wonderful! They make you feel very welcome and always have something special for the kids 😄“

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

“Ended up here on accident when the neighboring restaurant closed early. Score that they did because the service and sushi were top notch great. They have 2 locations in CO that we are going to try when we get home; we live in the area.

We shared 6 rolls. The yellowtail Jalapeños, spicy crispy tuna, titanic, hamachi kama, Shrek, and sunshine. Loved them all. The hamachi kama was really good and because it was a slightly smaller cut, they comped us 20% on it. Very honest and nice establishment. The server was super nice and rolls came out quickly due to it being slower in the late afternoon.

Definitely recommend overall, and definitely better than Haleiwa Joe's if you are in this area of the island. We felt the food was a lot better as we tried Joe's the night before, though the gardens and ambience of Joe's was very nice.“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“Excellent Sushi with every bite!“

“Tried Leezakaya with friends and here are my thoughts.

The decor and ambiance is very nice with several areas for tables. There is a bar and a sushi bar where patrons can sit as well.

The food is Japanese pub style with sushi and other traditional items

The less impressive was the service. It took a long time for a server to get our order in (unsure if they were understaffed).

Then the food came out way too quickly as we ordered appetizers and entrees and they didn't give time to finish appetizers before mains were served. This made our table overly crowded. Hopefully they can figure out this for future visits.

The bento box I ordered was very filling.

Next time I'd skip appetizer and just get an entree as the portions were much larger than expected.

There is plenty of parking as they have their own lot and overflow for the strip mall adjacent.“

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

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

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

“Great food and drinks not to expensive“

“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.“

“Awesome Lunch Beef Teriyaki Bento Box. cant wait to come back and try some other dishes. 5 🌟“

“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!“

“I enjoyed my experience at the Joe's, I liked that it was made out of the knowing of it, like in a day dream. Where i was looking out of and what it was looking at, a California roll, wasn't separate their was no boundary between my self as the witness and the delicious snow shell crab california roll from Tokyo joes. And i have learned that fear and anxiety and family fights about frying pans at dinner can stem from the sense of incompleteness and separateness that arises out of overlooking the obviousness of the witness as ones own nature.“

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

“Delicious food and great service. It is order first and pay. Then sit down and eat style. But it was definitely worth it. I ordered the tofu hibachi and I was so surprised at how flavorful it was. Usually they don’t (as in some places I go to) don’t season the vegetables and the tofu. But the tofu was well seasoned!. Fried rice was delicious. My friend got one of the Poké bowls. And she said it was really good too.“

“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“

“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.“

“Am excelent Japanese food !!!!“

“It was soo good! We had a great combo of roles and the bbq chicken was amazing as well. Fast service and a great vibe“

“Absolutely delicious! Great sushi, fresh fish, and fantastic prices. The staff is friendly and amazing! So glad I found this place!“

“Was so happy to see a ramen and pho place open up here (we live across the street). The server was so friendly and refilled our drinks promptly. We ordered the summer rolls, chicken ramen, and chicken lo mein noodles. Everything was so good and very delicious - cannot recommend this place enough. I forgot to take photos of everything because we dove in and eat it right up.“

“one of our go to places for Sushi. very happy repeat customers and the service is excellent.“

“Fresh sushi 🍣 and a fantastic Japanese Beer 🍻 and Saki menu“

“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.“

“This place was one of the best food place that I went int Colorado. I went in during rainy day. They still welcomed me even if I was smelly and soaked with water. They served me warm soups and curry. The taste was just so delicious! I usually do not leave the comment, but this place is hard not to leave the comment. Anyway, great place and I think I will visit again if I have a chance to come to Colorado again.“

“It was my boyfriend and I first time eating at a sushi restaurant. The atmosphere was great, the men preparing the sushi were hard at work, and most of all Jorge was very attentive, fun, and professional. He made many suggestions and they were all great! Definitely a great date night, we even enjoyed sake with the ppl next to us. We will be back!“

“Rock solid choice for Asian food in the area. I loved the sampler platter for two, great deal, great food. I always love getting options with the sauces as well, and that sampler had that. They give out a free pineapple dessert as stock per table, sliced and chopped with powdered sugar and some plum sugar powder on it, and that was a pleasant surprise.
Family owned and operated, nice charm and good atmosphere. I will definitely be coming back!“

“The best sushi I’ve had in Colorado so far that’s not crazy expensive / like downtown Denver. This is my go too for sushi and the lunch bento boxes are very generous. Top quality!“

“Great food, great service, one of our favorite sushi places💜💜“

“Good is ALWAYS HREAT!!!!“

“Yummy food, Nice and pretty, Child friendly, Good service. I will be back.“

“It has the most delicious Japanese food and most notably, great hospitality. If you're in Denver, this is the place to go for a delicious meal. Please call ahead for reservations. My friends rave about the food here. Don't forget to try the chocolate cake and pineapple flip cake. We will probably go back tonight because we loved it so much. I had the tofu steak and spicy garlic edema beans. Gyoza, paneo oysters, baby back ribs and teriyaki chicken. The sushi rolls were good too!“
