38 Best Japanese Restaurants near Wheat Ridge

“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.“

“I had their large spicy chicken teriyaki bowl with brown rice and veggies, and their chicken egg rolls. Everything tasted good, and they provided plenty of sauces. My only real complaint is that the chicken, being the main part of the meal, was lacking. I would've loved a bit more chicken in there. The chicken egg rolls dipped in Sriracha sauce were really good though.“

“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!“

“The same or better quality than sushi den at a better price point. Good portion sizes. Hamachi was really good. Only food complaints is there was maybe too much rice (which was just ok) and the uni was pretty bad. Not the absolute nicest place inside, but nice enough. Would definitely come back here“

“Incredible experience every time. Mike takes personal care of us as he always has since we met him at the Westminster location. Omakase is a must for anyone who loves sushi. Chef is a super hero. 5 stars.“

“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!“

“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!“

“This was one of the best restaurant experiences I've had in a long time! The restaurant is so cute from the moment you walk in. A couple friends and I sat at the sushi bar, shared a bottle of sake, crab cheese wontons and several sushi rolls.

The sushi chefs were incredibly kind and surprised us with complimentary salmon nachos while we waited which were AMAZING. To top it all off, they brought us mochi ice cream for dessert.

Every single thing we ate was delicious and the staff made the entire experience feel so welcoming and special. Exceptional food, wonderful service, and such a fun atmosphere. I will definitely be back! 😊🍣✨“

“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.“

“The cucumber salad was very unexpected, spicy and delicious. It had imitation crab and was mixed with a spicy mayo. I would highly recommend. We also got 4 different rolls and they were all amazing. Very fresh tasting. The service was great and we will definitely be back!“

“We love Kumoya! It is such a hidden gem. We came tonight for our anniversary and every single bite was delicious. The staff had personalized the menus for us after reading our reservation. Our waitress was so kind and knowledgeable. We love to sit at the sushi bar and watch the chefs in action! We always recommend to our friends and family who have a special occasion or just love phenomenal food. We will continue to come back again and again!“

“So excited to see that this venue will be hosting StageFluid and can't wait to come to these shows!!!! Sake Brewery??? Count me in!“

“Favorite place ever to come!!!! Best best best curry and sushi!!! great quality! Mario was great and made fun for sitting at the counter! AND the owner loves Hannah Montana and was playing a great playlist!! and we also had G as our server! Thank you all so much!!“

“High quality food, top notch service!
Peter, Christine, Eric, Ong and the rest of the team at Taki always make the experience special - even if its something as simple as a fun garnish on my plate or remembering my name and my favorite pieces.
I come around probably once a week since I live nearby, so I can walk home after enjoying a small bottle of sake.
Today I tired the hand rolls and was shocked by the sheer size and how absolutely stuffed they were! Also, the sake nigiri pieces are larger than life and I am obsessed with their umami red snapper and the beautiful presentation of the amaebi, sweet shrimp. I always get multiple orders of ikura and leave stuffed!
Love love love this place!“

“Great food great service“

“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 Best here in Denver away from the ocean“

“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 😁“

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

“Very good nigiri and service has been excellent my last two visits. Fish quality is very good especially for all you can eat. 5-STARS“

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

“Had a great experience living here. Really felt like home. Everyone working in the office is super friendly and very attentive. Maintenance was quick with service. Great gym and amenities. Neighbors were also great people. Great downtown location and very walkable to many locations and union station. Units are pretty sound proof, rarely heard my neighbors ever and felt very safe here, along with a secure garage. Highly recommend Alara.“

“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!“

“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.“

“The moment we walked through the door we felt very welcomed! Great customer service and amazing food! The atmosphere was very chill. Would recommend 10/10“

“There was no bok choy or sprouts in my bowl as the description says. I also paid for an extra egg to be added and there was no yolk it was just the whites. The flavor of the rest was really good though and the chasu buns were delicious.
Ordered to go and had to wait an extra 20 mins beyond the expected pick up time.“

“Friendly staff and great service. Kudos to the staff. Very hard workers.“

“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.“

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

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

“Fantastic food and atmosphere!!!“

“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.“
