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.

But Uchi Denver has proven to be a powerhouse in its own right, where […]
Anyone looking for unusual ethnic mash-ups, American style, will find them at Uoki, a combination Korean/Japanese restaurant and sushi bar with a menu that covers virtually all of the Asian comfort foods. Here you can make a meal of tekka maki, a bowl of excellent, thick and spicy green-curry soup with potatoes and carrots, and […]
This little spot on the outside perimeter of Sakura Square serves solid Japanese food, bento-style to go and in noodle bowls if you eat in.
