Denver has a longstanding love affair with sushi, thanks in large part to Sushi Den, the pristine house of Japanese seafood that brothers Yasu and Toshi Kizaki opened in 1984. As a testament to Sushi Den’s status, chefs at just about every other revered sushi restaurant in town have spent time working here. Rather than […]
A multi-level restaurant. Sushi Hai, is an elegantly decorated Japanese eatery that also offers three private Tatami Rooms for small groups with traditional Japanese floor-seating. Its lounge, Hai Bar, hosts stand up comedy every Thursday as well as sushi and painting events every other Saturday.
The sushi here is excellent, the service friendly and inviting. And the restaurant is justly famed for its all-you-can-eat lunch and dinner, a screaming deal served every day. But the best thing about Sushi Katsu is that it has the feel of a place where it’s easy to become a regular – a sushi bar […]

Wayne Conwell has been slicing fish and finding new ways to upend Japanese tradition at Sushi Sasa since 2005. By synthesizing Western technique and current Denver tastes with the traditions of sushi that evolved in isolation long before it hit American shores, the chef has continued to stay relevant in a scene that shifts and […]
In an unlikely yet beautiful dining room in a plaza anchored by a King Soopers, Sushi Terrace slices up some excellent raw fish. The rolls are superb, and the soft-shell crab and the calamari tempura are exquisite.
Built on the reputation of a well-trained sushi chef, Sushi Tora’s legacy of excellent Japanese cuisine has carried over to new owners. Over time, the menu has evolved to include more contemporary expressions, supplementing orders of raw fish and traditional Japanese offerings with European touches and ingredients with complementary flavors. The evolution has been enough […]
The interior of Sushi Uokura incongruously recalls the most casual of beach houses, and the sushi is excellent, without an ounce of the precious pretension that’s befallen so many Denver favorites. The eatery offers all-you-can-eat sushi and simple rice bowls at lunchtime and a more elaborate spread and selection at dinner — but it’s all […]

Chef Jeff Osaka brought something unique to River North with Sushi-Rama in December 2015: conveyor-belt sushi (kaiten-zushi). The tiny space seats just under fifty, but it’s worth the sometimes daunting wait to nab a spot next to the conveyor belt, which carries Fiesta-colored plates around the dining room. Those plates bear just a few bites […]
Sushi Den and its sister restaurants on South Pearl Street have long been the standard for high-end Japanese dining in Denver, so when group co-founder Toshi Kizaki and chef Kenta Kamo opened a spot inside the Source in RiNo, diners took notice. Now four years into its run, Temaki Den has a deserved reputation for […]
Miki Hashimoto ran Japon, a sushi spot in Washington Park, for nearly two decades before opening Tokio in 2014. While the inviting eatery serves sushi along with a variety of small plates and grilled fish, the real focus here is noodles. Before opening Tokio, Hashimoto returned to Japan to take ramen-making classes, an experience that’s […]
