“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“

“We only go here occasionally. But we are recognized each time which makes us feel welcomed.It was cold and snowing a bit so the restaurant was empty but lit up.We started off with the Crispy Tuna and Miso Soup. The West Coast Roll was fantastic. The Yellowtail was fresh like always.The server was attentive without being overbearing. The fish was fresh and everything was seasoned to the same standards as we remembered.“

“Here is a combo review. One with takeout dishes and one with dine-in. Both experiences was great. This is the first place we went to when we moved to Castle Pines.

Food was delicious. I really loved the crispiness of the tofu. I was afraid that the dish in the takeout container would be soggy but it wasn't.

We really like it here. If they added a sweet potato roll on their menu, my boys wouldn't go anywhere else.“

“muy buena atención al cliente y la comida exquisita“

“David and the staff at Taku are great!!! The food is amazing!!!“

“I live in Colorado Springs and I was craving ramen. I did not go to Nami this time because I didn't want to make the drive....I want to formally apologize to Nami because no other ramen will ever live up to them. Now I know, I'm not craving ramen. I'm craving Nami ramen.“

“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“

“We are in town for a few weeks for medical stuff and stumbled on this place our first night and wow, it did not disappoint! Delicious fresh sushi, most welcoming and attentive staff, and beautiful intimate setting! We sat at the bar and met the owner and he was so kind and even made me off menu request. 6 stars!“

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

“We really loved this place and were glad we booked a reservation for Friday night, as it was really busy.

The food was way beyond our expectations and will always consider going here when looking for a nicer sushi place. It wasn't cheap, so be mindful of that. Definitely one of the better sushi places I've been to in my life.

The special rolls were downright delicious. Rock n Roll, Foxy Lady Roll, Naruto Roll, and the King Crab Roll were just so soft and melted in your mouth. The Toro Trio was perfect and don't know if I've had a roll that good before. Terrific flavors, premium grade fish. Heavy tipping was easy to justify for such a great place and service.

The only downside is not the restaurant's fault: the restaurant next door has kids working there and they bbq'ed out back and set of the entire shopping area's fire alarm as a result. The alarm went nuts for 20 minutes. The whole time, the workers diligently worked to resolve the issue and even compensated us with a bottle of sake for the inconvenience. It wasn't necessary, but appreciated.“

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

“One of our favorite places to get sushi in Denver! A calm little spot with tons of roll options, quality sushi, and affordable prices. We actually leave here full rather than thinking about how much we spent on not enough food ? Favorite roll is the omega 369 - ginger sauce on there is so good!“

“Super bowl w/pork and beef. 10/10 with rice.
The kim chi is the absolute best (better than H Mart). Tasty gyoza.

Complementary hot tea.

I just want to reinforce that this is still among my top 3 restaurants and still has the very best kimchi of any I've had from any store or restaurant. If you're sleeping on this in the neighborhood then I implore you try it!“

“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.“

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

“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!“

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

“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!“

“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“

“If you are wondering what happened to great customer service, you need to come to the Castle Rock Tokyo Joe’s! The manager, Andrew, wants his customers to be happy! I love the poke bowls at Tokyo Joe’s, so I placed an order, but received the wrong poke bowl with my order. Andrew, the manager, was tenacious at getting in contact with me to make it right. He made sure I was happy and would continue to be a repeat customer. I was back there the next day for a poke bowl, and Andrew came out to say hi and thank me for my business. They are serving up fantastic customer service, along with fresh and tasty poke bowls, so I highly recommend Tokyo Joe’s in Castle Rock!“

“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.“

“Excellent Sushi with every bite!“

“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!“

“Highly recommend this restaurant location. The food is always high quality (I visit 2 times a week on average). The employees are all super fun to interact with and provide a great atmosphere. They're also incredibly helpful and are more than happy to give advice/answer questions about your order. Food is served pretty quick too.

Vegetarian options: This is a great place for vegetarian options. Pretty much every major meal type they offer has vegetarian alternatives that are just as good.

Dietary restrictions: This place has options for pretty much any diet you need to follow. And they are also very good with working with you on customizing your order should you want/need to.

Wheelchair accessibility: You can very easily get a wheelchair in“

“Went for the Yaki Soba. The best I’ve been able to find in many years in the US. Others had sushi and declared it excellent. Crispy calamari was also among the best I’ve had. Sliced thin, great breading and flavor.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Great food and drinks not to expensive“

“Fresh and fast. Perfect stop for us“

“Am excelent Japanese food !!!!“

“Some of the best sushi in Denver. My fiancé and I went for the first time last night and my only regret is not discovering this place sooner. Everything about the experience was incredible, and I look forward to having a new favorite spot!“

“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“

“Really fun place to have a small dinner. (Wouldn't recommend for large groups.) I'm newer to hand rolls but I really enjoyed everything I got. The tuna was incredible and that's not a fish I normally love. It's a small simple menu. The staff were great and you can tell they really love what they do. Excited to go back!

Vegetarian options: There are vegetarian options for the rolls, and they were good. I'm not sure if there's enough variety for a vegetarian or vegan to have as good of an experience here. But there's definitely options!

Parking: This is located in a small strip with other restaurants. I've never had issues parking in the lot.“

“We really enjoyed our meal from here. We opted for takeout because we had out-of-town company visiting. The orange chicken was outstanding—honestly, the best we’ve had in a long time. The beef teriyaki was just as expected. All the pho and ramen we ordered were delicious. We will definitely be coming back in the future! The restaurant's atmosphere was pleasant, and our food was ready for pick-up right when I walked in, so I didn’t have to wait. The service was friendly, and we were pleasantly surprised with a free appetizer—perhaps due to our large order. We are very grateful for it.“

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

“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!“

“Good is ALWAYS HREAT!!!!“

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

“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!“

“It was my first visit, and I was greeted with very friendly customer service. The food is delicious, and not only the sushi but especially the fried tofu is a repeat customer. I thoroughly enjoyed everything down to the salad dressing.
I'm planning on stopping by for a nice lunch next time.“

“This is my first time trying Wild Basil and I was pleasantly surprised! The staff was very nice and the food was cooked to perfection. I ordered the Thai Eggplant with egg drop soup. The egg drop soup was very flavorful and thick. The Thai Eggplant had a lovely bold flavor! If I am ever in the neighborhood, I will stop and eat there again.“

“J’adore, Le coeur du Marais�“

“A fab place! My son has a sesame allergy and they were super accommodating!! Really friendly and great service. Would definitely go back when we are in the area.

Dietary restrictions: They highlighted the special Gluten Free menu. Also accommodated my son's sesame allergy with ease.

Kid-friendliness: Super laid back and kid friendly. We had three rowdy kiddos and it was easy to accommodate them.

Wheelchair accessibility: Absolutely wheelchair accessible.“

“Thank you for providing The Medical Center of Aurora's Case Management Team, with lunch today!! Everyone thought it was delicious, and it was much appreciated!!“
