Land of Sushi

Back in 2000, Land of Sushi opened in a strip mall across from what was then Southglenn Mall — now the Streets at SouthGlenn — and quickly made a splash. Over the years, the spot has just gotten better. While the seafood selection is impressive, the restaurant itself is comfortable but modest. But you'll forget your surroundings when you belly up to the brightly lit sushi bar, often attended by three chefs and flanked by an L-shaped counter that's usually full of guests. The bare-bones ambience just means there's nothing to distract your attention from the food — and the food definitely deserves all your attention.
