Serving Robot. That is fun.“

“These guys are amazing! I’m actually so sad because I moved 30 minutes away and can’t come down here often enough.“

“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!“

“What a great restaurant ! Fish is really fresh , love their salmon belly with wagyu beef on top, it’s even better than most of sushi that I had in LA , and I was amazed how reasonable the price is , staff are so friendly, it’s always on my top list to go every time I’m in Denver“

“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!“

“Obsessed with this place already. The lychee drink was refreshing and perfectly balanced, and the sushi tacos were honestly one of the best things I’ve tried lately. Great atmosphere, friendly service, and super fresh sushi. Highly recommend“

“Excellent! Best Sushi In Denver Metro!“

“Very good Ramen. Will definitely stop by again when we are back in Denver!“

“I had a couple of rolls (tuna avocado roll and colorful roll - one simple to try the basics and another for something that seems to be their own) from this great new spot. Both were very good. The sashimi appetizer was also delicious. The service was impeccable, and they listened regarding our dietaries. That was helpful. Parking is tough, being near Colfax work and neighborhoods (based on time of day I suppose), so note that. I will be coming back to try some hibachi and perhaps donburi. I can't wait.“

“Great food great service“

“Delicious omakase, elegant ambience, and friendly service. Dragon ball theme cocktails were a fun touch. Cool, modern spin on bibingka and very tasty too. The menu is priced higher but for special occasions and as far as quality goes, worth it. Had a really positive experience overall.“

“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.“

“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.“

“wonderful kind service

Oh my flerpin gerd on the food. The ramen. So warm and cozy and full of joy and vibrance. Could help anyone to the worst of times.

And then the sushi, the nagiri. I hadn't had such fresh teaching seafood since I was on the beach in Mexico years ago.

And that one where they get that smokey flavor with the torch!??? So much flavor making a little party in my mouf.

Thank you thank you thank you. I need not and won't ever seek out another Japanese restaurant. I've found my home.“

“Mugi’s ramen is delicious. I don’t eat pork or shellfish and there are options you can remove or modify which is greatly appreciated. The music is fun and upbeat and Pan’s service was impeccable for a quick dine in. We were walked through the menu very thorough and it was pretty great. Glad we checked it out!“

“The outside of the restaurant is deceiving, the inside is gorgeous! The absolute best sushi we've ever had in Denver. The price for the quality was incredibly fair. 10/10 can't wait to go back and try the ramen. We were time the ramen is mostly family recipe, so very excited!“

“Really enjoyed our first Chinese cuisine takeout dinner from Ooka today. Hot & sour soup was delicious with just the right level of vinegar. Lo mein and beef/broccoli dishes were nicely spiced and tasty, with vegetables that were hot and crisp!
Best of all, they offer Japanese & Thai cuisine, too. Those are next on our agenda-- after we finish tonight's leftovers.
Many thanks for great food at reasonable prices,
P.S. The free edamame appetizer is a treat for orders over $30.“

“Good value on yummy food with large portions. The staff is friendly. Family fav“

“So I'm not one to say anything about about a family owned business. The sushi was awesome , the soup I think I just didn't understand what I was getting . It was during about 2pm and I was the only one there . It was good service and a nice family but the floors were dirty with plenty of time to sweep up before dinner rush , it was good though , I get burn out or being tired just slightly disappointed. The food looked beautiful with presentation!!!“

“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.“

“The gentleman at the register is always so pleasant, helpful, happy and enjoyable. I stop in when playing pickleball and it’s been consistently good for 2 years. Super clean location and they keep it cool in here so nice relief in summer.“

“Amazing!!! I love this place so much the food is super good and the service is really good as well!! When I tell you everyone here is genuinely the sweetest I mean it!!! Ashley was super duper sweet and kind!! 💗💗 the pricing is good as well! I definitely recommend going to this place. Also the amount of food you get is pretty good 😁“

“Here you will find authentic delicious Japanese country cooking. Having eaten all over Japan I can say there is a very big difference between Americanized Japanese food and authentic classic Japanese cooking. While the interior is dated and not necessarily attractive, it makes no difference to me because the food takes you away to Japan in your mind and you forget about all else.“

“Fantastic food and atmosphere!!!“

“Easy find an conveniently located. The sushi are so cheap, delicious, and well sized. Got 5 pieces of tempura sushi for around $7. They give you sauces at request and a good amount. The menu has amazing prices, especially in this economy. There's also drinks and snacks if you're interested.

My only true issue is the wait time. They only take an order or 2 every 5 to 10 minutes. I waited around 30 minutes for my order. I forgive this since there were only 2 workers and a decent number of customers. Bathrooms and tables are there while you wait. Clean inside.

If you're looking for cheap sushi- don't buy it for nearly twice the price at the target or Walgreens on either side. Get it fresher and tastier here.“

“Ill start with the positive: all the food was great, we had the snow white appetizer plus the Hawaiian and Dynamite rolls. + some seaweed salad, salmon sashimi and a fried rice dish. Thumbs up for all of that. The food was ready about 15 minutes after the expected time and they forgot to include the spicy crispy tuna for the promotion so that was a little disappointing.“
