50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Lone Tree

“Passed this place many times but never stopped. Decided to stop in a month ago and try it. All I can say is WOW! It was fantastic. Service was exceptional and loved the atmosphere. Ordered takeout last week and still, food was amazing, fresh, and so good. This is definitely my new favorite sushi spot! Highly recommend!“

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

“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.“

“Such a gem of a restaurant! The korean lady serving us was so sweet. We had questions regarding our dietary restrictions and she was so patient with us and explained everything thoroughly.
We like to avoid mirin/sake and cross contact with meat when eating sushi and she explained that they only use vinegar to season their rice and their meat and fish stations completely separate. 10/10 just for that!
We ordered-
1.Spicy tuna rolls- 10/10
2.Castle pines rolls- 10/10, this was so good!
If you are living in this area you must visit them or, like us, if you are just driving through Colorado on your way to see garden of the gods or something like that, you better stop and try it out!
10/10, definitely recommend 👌“

“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.“

“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“

“The pork dumplings and Kara age chicken were superb however, the beef rice and pork belly were overwhelmingly flavoured with ginger and soy sauce it seemed. To be honest I was slightly let down by the high rating. Staff showed good service and restaurant and bathrooms were clean.“

“Ordered pick up 30mins before closing as a last minute i don't wanna cook decision and man was it delicious. So good we scarfed it down before I thought of pictures. 😅
The thai tea Boba slush had no reason to be that delicious.
We got the signature bowls Tuna and chicken karaage, fresh and delicious. Crab wontons were light and crispy. 😘 And the 2 miso soups (yum) and a few cubes of cheese cake! (Also yum.) Will definitely be back, totally worth it.“

“Delicious ramen! Friendly service and good selection of foods. Definitely a new favorite!“

“Best sushi in Parker. So fresh.“

“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!“

“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! 🍣✨“

“We come here all the time. This place has amazing sushi at a fair price and the people are always so friendly! This is definitely our favorite restaurant in Castle Rock!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“We go here so often that the amazing and incredibly friendly staff know us by name. Best sushi in 30-miles hands down. Their Thai menu is also outstanding…then their Chinese menu is great too!! The restaurant is immaculate and love the decor that they continue to add. We are SOO happy that Ito came to Castle Rock!! Our favorite dishes are beef drunken noodles, Panang chicken, and then all things sushi.“

“Fun atmosphere and great food. Always entertaining.“

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

“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.“

“Best sushi in Parker! Always delicious 🍱 🍣“

“Excellent Sushi with every bite!“

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

“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!“

“❤️ greatgood and service!!“

“This place is the absolute best!! I've been a regular customer for over 20 years. I cannot recommend a better option for sushi in or near Parker. The owner knows her stuff. Service is always on point food quality is exceptional. We eat here at least twice a month and more often when time permits. Consistent deliciousness!!“

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

“The food was delicious. The service was great when we walked in and ordered. Ordered my son the bento box and was surprised with how much food you get for the great price. I highly recommend eating here. It was well worth it and I wish we had one where we live. When we're back in the area, we'll be back“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“I love mugi ramen, i got into ramen about a year ago but my brother lived in japan and can be a tough ramen critic and he loves this place. i recommend either the tonkotsu ramen (add chili oil of course) or the spicy shoyu. the staff is great and has treated me to desert at times that i don’t even order it. i love it here, great vibes, great workers, and especially GREAT FOOD!“

“Great food and drinks not to expensive“

“Am excelent Japanese food !!!!“

“My husband and I were craving a warm and delicious pho. Umami sushi and pho, a brand-new establishment in town, exceeded our expectations from the moment we entered. The aroma of delectable and fresh food was exceptional. We ordered a couple of pho and the broth's flavor was intensely delicious and warming. The fresh vegetables tasted remarkably fresh. The entire venue was nice and neat, and the staff were very friendly, making us feel at home. We will definitely return soon, eager to try their sushi. I highly recommend stopping by for succulent pho and sushi. Umami Sushi bar and Pho es Nuevo aquí en Aurora, fuimos por primera vez y pasó la prueba del sabor. El caldo tenía mucho sabor y sustancia. El sabor lo fué todo. La atención fue magnífica, los dueños y todos los meseros siempre fueron muy amigables, atentos y serviciales con nosotros todo el tiempo que estuvimos ahí. El restaurante estaba muy limpio, ordenado y cada cosa en su lugar. Los baños estaban muy higiénicos y todo era nuevo en ese lugar. Totalmente recomiendo èste restaurante si quieres probar uno de los más ricos pho que existen en Aurora. Definitivamente regresaré por el sushi.“

“Small, Cozy, and welcoming.

I come here regularly and can confidently say it's my favorite place to eat in the area.

Great food all around, from sushi to their japanese comfort food.

They always seem to have something new in to try as well - always fun to see what the owner's wife has cooked up for the week.

The staff is very nice and attentive.“

“Amazing! FRESH PERFECTLY CRAFTED ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS SUSHI ! We get sashimi when we dine and the fire island roll! OH MY GOD I CANT STOP CRAVING THIS PLACE ! I eat slow here because it just tastes so good ! Thank you guys for serving us such yummy sushi ! We will never stop coming ! :)“

“Good is ALWAYS HREAT!!!!“

“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“

“Have come here 2x this spring, once for lunch with a friend and once for dinner with the family (5 of us). Had a really good experience both times, both food and service. It was not crowded and felt old school in the best way possible. I had Panang curry and Pad Thai and both were really good. The prices were good, especially considering how restaurant food has skyrocketed. Highly recommend.“

“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!“
