We were extremely excited to try this place as I kept on seeing videos on social media. We got there at opening and there was a line. I was very hopeful seeing this! Walking inside, the decor and vibes are great. Unfortunately once we got our food, our experience changed. We ordered some apps and they did not seem to be very good quality. I was still giving it a chance since we hadn't tried the sushi yet. Once we got the sushi we immediately were not impressed with the quality. I ordered two albacore nigiri and the rice was the driest I've ever had. A lot of their rolls were fried and with cream cheese. Unfortunately we will not be back. read more

Food is great but we didn't always get what we ordered. We've been here twice since they opened and as long as you get there early (when they open) there's not much of a wait. Will definitely be back. read more

If I ever went to Japan this is how I imagined it would be like! Amazing food, anime in the background, killer music, and a contemporary Japanese design. I recommend you come with an extreme appetite, you'll get full very quickly. Tons of options on sushi, sides, and delicious drinks (both alcoholic and non). A bit expensive, but I promise it'll be all worth it, your tum will thank ya. read more

I had a coworker tell me this is the best AYCE sushi in Colorado, and I think they were right! I've had really bad AYCE sushi so I was skeptical going into this place, but gave it a chance. everything tasted really ~NORMAL~. For example, the takoyaki tasted exactly as it should, somewhere else it tastes SO off (too sweet, really gummy, and fishy). We specifically liked the crispy rice with spicy tuna and the volcano roll (no cream cheese). I would definitely recommend this place if you tend to order over $30/person at a sushi restaurant anyways. The decor is fun and the service is great. read more

This is a very fun restaurant. Everything is bright and upbeat. The staff is great, the music is lively, the sushi is great, and they offer a wide selection. I'm not sure how they do it for the price. It's easy to get to, and there is plenty of parking. Plus, they have a cool robot that brings out the food. I saw some reviews talking about wait times; I got there around the opening and was seated immediately. And a lot of other people were as well, but there was still plenty of room. I'm sure it ebbs and flows. It's good sushi for $30. read more

I love this place! I visit often and always have a great experience. The sushi is top notch and the service is always incredible. Great value and so many options. I also really enjoy the decor. The establishment is clean and inviting! My only complaint would be that it can be pretty loud with the music and the large amount of people. read more

Everything is good all the time. I'm only giving 4/5 stars because they don't have a lunch opening so I can't go more often.

Always a great experience. Solid sushi. Good management. Enjoy the atmosphere. Great for special occasions.

Well worth the wait and definitely living up to the hype. This new AYCE sushi spot is in the restaurant formerly known as Sushi Umi. It has been opened for over a month now, but there is still quite the hype, which I can see why. We checked in around 4:30PM and was told 1.5 - 2 hour wait for a party of 2. We ran some errands and actually received a text after 1 hour that our table was ready; we were seated promptly once we came back. We were hungry and ready to order, so ordered everything all at once. To my surprise, the apps came out within 10 minutes and the rest of our sushi came out about 5 minutes later. I'm very impressed as the entire place was packed! The food was amazing! All the fish was fresh and the rolls had a generous portion of fish and toppings. All of the nigiri we ordered also had a generous portion of fish as well. I don't think you can go wrong with anything on the menu. It's also great for groups because there is something on the menu for everything. At $29.99/ person for dinner, it is a killer deal. I hope the quality and service keeps up. I will definitely be coming back. read more

We came at 5 when they opened and there was a line. Took us about 45 min to 1 hour to get in. But once we got in service was fast and they have robot servers that makes it really neat. The ambiance was so cool and pretty. As for the food. I'm glad they came in little servings was perfect to try everything since it is all you can eat. We ordered a lot at once and they came out with this long board. Quality was alright but I still enjoyed the food. Except the chicken skewers. We did not like the seasonings they put on it. Other than that was worth it. read more

Great for a night out! Great appetizers with even better sushi! The price is well worth the food with decent portions. Fish tasted fresh for a landlocked state (I'm from California). Don't be afraid to try everything but also get your sushi fill to make your money worth it! 10/10 will be going again. My only reason for the 4/5 stars is honestly the wait and process for getting in. If you are not there when opening or late at night you will be waiting 1-3hrs for a seat. read more

Dined in here during their soft opening, and this place was packed!! So glad I called in to make reservations because I overheard the hostess say the wait was about 1.5 to 2 hrs. I will have to say that I have to give mad props to the hostess. She probably had the hardest job of the night. Dealing with hungry, impatient customers is never easy and she held up quite well. The food here is really good! For $30 you get AYCE sushi, skewers, and ramen! I wasn't able to try their ramen but I definitely will next time. Their rolls and nigiri was delicious. The nigiri were perfect one biters; perfect amount of rice and fish. For the most part they tasted fresh with the exceptions of the last order. The nigiri seemed like they sat out too long. The rolls were also quite good. Again, the sections were cut in perfect bite size. The skewers were probably my favorite of the night. The lamb took the top of the fave list. I hope that in the future there will be more skewer options because the pork belly, lamb, chicken, and shrimp were all really amazing. The staff here did an amazing job with the chaos. The dishes came out really quick and I saw all them smiling even though the demand was very high. I think the longest we had to wait for anything was for the bill. I loved the robot server! This machine knew when there was people in the way, and the way it varied its speed is really touching to this nerd. I can't wait to come back and try other dishes. I can definitely see Chubby Fish being my 2nd home! read more

Alright Chubby Fish - I see you. I read the reviews; I came prepared for mid-range sushi, friendly service, and flashy decor. I was fully prepared for a 3-4 star experience, but I'll be darned if I wasn't completely won over by the kitschy decor and robotic cat waiter. The rumors are true, the sushi is kinda mid, but the hot dishes were surprisingly good (I'm looking at you, spicy skewers and ramen), the ambiance is delightful, and even the $5 house made popsicles were surprisingly creamy and delicious. Unlike others, we weren't browbeaten about the time limit or overage charges. IMO, it's much much better than the AYCE place in Aurora. My kids are already jockeying to come back for their birthdays. read more

Watch out for robots!! Four robots were circling the restaurant delivering food and drinks. All you can eat sushi for $30 a person!! The sushi was delicious. Our server, Min was a treat and helpful. We did have a two hour wait which we spent at the bar next door. No reservations and no call ahead seating. Chubby's is fairly new and there is often a line at the door when they open. The wait was worth it. They have an expansive menu and a full bar. A server takes the orders and the robots deliver. Music is quite loud and is EDM dance music on loop. They have a sushi bar and they offer hibachi dishes. The decor is wild and colorful. The seating is tight but they can make a wheelchair work. We were there for a birthday and the robot sang and brought free shots to the table. Bathrooms were spotless. Parking is in a large lot. Manager spoke to us as we left. read more

The sushi at chubby fish tastes great when it wants to be. Depending on the day you go, the fish will either be bland or the most fatty fish you've ever seen. Since it is all you can eat, it's a very popular and busy place, so the queue time can get very long (over 1 hour). Everything on their menu is all you can eat and they have a plethora of items in it. One of the best items there besides the sushi are their yakiniku, which is just meat on sticks (so like a kebab). Whenever it gets really busy, it will take a while for your food to get to your table. The service there is what you expect from a busy restaurant and I haven't had a waiter with a bad attitude yet. read more

They still have some things to iron out. The biggest being their waitlist. The reasoning for their lack of a reservation system seemed silly, but they certainly are not hurting for business. We waited for an hour to get seated mostly due to the fact that we had a larger party. As we waited we saw several people cross their name off the list who were smaller parties because they didn't want to wait any longer. The food was pretty good. The skewers were very tasty, pork belly buns were also yummy but lacked enough meat, we liked the spicy ramen, and maybe half of our sushi was good, the rest was okay. Service was extremely friendly but certainly chaotic. We had several different people waiting on us and one main server. Food came out at a slow pace and we had to keep reminding our server what we ordered and to please go check on our dishes. She also didn't bother to ask if we needed separate checks, which made it too much of a hassle at the end to split, so we each paid half. Front of house manager was knowledgeable and friendly and went out of his way to talk with us. He did his best to appease eager customers waiting to get in. The atmosphere is great! It has a downtown vibe even though the restaurant is in a strip mall in Thornton. Fun dancy club type music, a tokyo feel with tiny light up street signs hanging from the ceiling, cute decor, and fun tableware. The bathrooms could use more attention, but the servers are racing all around that they hardly have time to do anything else. The crowd is young and willing to wait to try the latest all you can eat joint. And even though it was past our bedtime, Chubby Fish is open until midnight. We got there at 6:40 and didn't leave until 10:30 due to all the waiting! I think this place has real potential. They were very sweet to talk with, and we'll certainly be back with an updated review once they're up and running a bit longer. I think a reservation system is still worth a shot--especially for bigger parties. Seems silly not to have one and then reserve the rest of the tables for people who show up at the last minute. Some paper ordering sheets could help the servers tremendously. If they allowed guests to check off what they want with paper and pencil and just have servers come pick up the sheet, it would expedite the process so much faster and avoid confusion when servers can't understand what you want or can't hear. read more

We ate here about 3 months ago. The sushi was good. Not sure why it's not very busy. Cool fun interior.

All you can eat?! Sushi?! For $29.99?! My favorite combination of words all together. Chubby Fish Sushi is a new HOT spot for AYCE Sushi just a short trip north of Denver city. Located in Thornton area tucked away in a business strip. This location has been POPPING off. The location is large and can be loud depending on time you go, but it's expected with amounts of people. Opening at 4pm daily and closing at midnight.. this location is BUSY. There will be a long wait time so be prepared if you have a larger group. My visit was close to opening week and I waited for about an hour and I was by myself. I was sat at the bar and the bartender was awesome holding it down and attentive for the entire seating area. They are very busy and a large space for AYCE, so please be patient with your sushi orders. The quality of fish here was perfect. Nothing was overly fishy at all an I enjoyed every bite. The truffle white tuna was so so good and I definitely recommend you ordering that. This is my new AYCE spot !! read more

Was searching for a nice place for sushi and ramen ..this place popped up on tik tok ... walking in great decor ... sat down right away... now for 29.99 all you can eat ... Sooooo worth it ... rolls are big and fresh ... Ramen was delicious.... Excellent!!!!! And our waitress OILEEEEE !!!!! Very informative to help us choose everything we liked !!!!!! Excellent food read more

Only down side was the long wait but that was well worth it. If you live close I recommend sending a runner to put you name down on the list then chill at home til you're up on the wait list. Wait staff was amazing, very friendly and attentive. We had one main server but they all chipped in to help one another. A few highlights, 1) $1.50 beers, 2) robot food runner, 3)food was so damn good and 4) they played some absolute bangers, if you're into dubstep. High recommend this place, be patient and kind to the staff. We had a great experience! read more

I was last here on February 29th. I came by tonight to have great sushi. I arrived at 445pm and they were already busy. I sat at the bar and was served by Jermaine B. He was very cheery and gave me time to place my order. Since it was a Tuesday, I got Iced tea. Free refills, in fact 4 glasses. They have new one piece small bites included in A.Y.C.E. price of $29.99/person. Children between 5 and 10 yrs pay $15.99 and children under 5 are free. I saw several children munching on skewers. I got Rosward's Monkey Brain. Crazy name, but yummy tempura fried avocado filled with spicy Tuna & Kani, then drizzled with mayo and eel sauce. My first sushi roll was the baked Lava roll with tempura green chili, cream cheese, shrimp topped with Kani, siracha and eel sauce. They provide a 3 basin tray with ginger and wasabi plus a middle basin for you to mix soy sauce with the wasabi. I added spicy edamame. Very spicy. Thank goodness for the Iced tea. Next I got a Spider roll and Sakura roll. More spicy Tuna. There is no limit to get more ginger or wasabi. I finished off this great meal with a new dessert, The Chubby Double. It had scoops of vanilla and matcha ice cream with sliced strawberries, whipped cream and corn flakes drizzled with chocolate sauce. All for $7. I joined their rewards program. read more

LOVE. The food to the pricing is well versed! Recommend joining the waitlist early so you can get in at the time you planned! Rhe people are great. The service is a bit hectic but considering the amount of people in and out and food being ordered, I definitely understand and sympathize. The one thing for sure to double check is the sushi you ordered; sometimes because the workers have so much on their plate, sometimes they accidentally add extra food when it comes out from what you actually ordered. Make sure to double look and let the server know and they'll accommodate so there's no extra charge for your bill! Ambiance is amazing whether for a date, hangout, family/friends dinner-- everything was great. read more

Seen this place all over TikTok and social media and heard about the long wait so I decided to go during the week and it was busy but easy to get a table. I'd like to pride myself and being a sushi snob, I feel like all you need to do is try one piece of Nigiri to tell you everything you need to know about a restaurant. After my first piece of yellowtail, I was sold this place is super solid, extremely family friendly. All you can eat for $30 and this economy is incredible. It was packed with families. Such a great time tried it out so many different types of food, do not hesitate to try this place out keep them going. They're literally open from 4 PM to midnight, which is awesome. I'll definitely be returning. You know the food was good when I only was able to take one picture cause I completely forgot. read more

We've been a huge fan of Chubby Fish since they opened. The service is great and the rolls are delicious. I really like the variety and that they offer hibachi and ramen in addition to just sushi. Recently they changed over from age based pricing for kids to height based and honestly the swap is going to result in us visiting a lot less frequently. Paying for a $15 kids meal for a tall 3 year old who eats a bowl of edamame and a single shrimp seems unreasonable. The height of a child is not indicative of how much they will consume. I've never experienced any other restaurant that uses height for pricing. read more

Service was great. Food was average. If you're hungry and you're close, then this place is ok. Otherwise, there are plenty of better sushi places in the Denver area. Atmosphere was cool which helped a bit. read more

AMAZING!!! They do not take reservations but you can join the waitlist starting at 4:30. 30 bucks for all you can eat. You have 90 minutes. The front side of the menu includes soups, salads, tempura, apps, ramen, hibachi, etc. The back side of the menu has all the nigri and sushi rolls. They offer about 20-25 different rolls. They do not charge you for anything on the front side if not eaten but will charge $1 a piece for sushi pieces over 7 remaining. Great service and great food! I wish I lived closer. I mean come on, the have robotic cats as servers! read more

We went during the soft opening so there was a line when it opened and they were VERY busy. It was nice and bright inside and they some music playing but not too loud which was a nice background. The food was actually pretty good. The fish was very well prepared, the rolls were decently sized and so were the nigiri. The fish to rice ratio was on point! We loved the Salmon Nigiri the most as well as the Fast and Furious roll and the Tempura Green Chile! Their Pork Belly Skewers and the Takoyaki is also recommended! We did have to wait for our food for 40+ mins due to the high volume and had to order some of our stuff three times because in a span of an hour or so, we didn't get anything and our waiter was very kind and helpful throughout all that (tall guy, medium length blonde hair with a little bit of a top bun). However, in all that waiting, the sushi chefs were very generous in getting us some nigiris so huge shout out to the nigiri chefs behind the sushi bar for feeding two women who were slowly shriveling in their seats . If it weren't for them being so attentive and even fighting for us about our orders with some of the other servers, this review would be mostly negative. Overall, would definitely come again and bring our normal group of sushi lover friends! read more

I'm glad I've got to try this place. Fantastic ambiance and good service. It took us a while to try this place because we live in Denver and we have closer all you can eat sushi place such as Sushi Katsu in Aurora. I really like the ambiance and their decor. The whole time we were there, I had a fun time looking at their decorations. Now the food, the food was okay. It seems like their appetizers were from bags and preheated for quick serving. Their tempura shrimp compared to Sushi Katsu's was subpar. Their sushi rolls and nigiri pieces had too much rice to fish ratio and the worst thing was their rice was too mushy. I don't know if this was on purpose or someone on cooking rice duty messed up, I don't know but I would never use rice like that for sushi. The rice was mushy like grocery store bought sushi, you know the kind they buy from another place and not the one they make from the store. The service was good but hearing about 90 minute time limit and a dollar charge for left over sushi for multiple times is annoying; I feel like saying "your explaining about the rules are eating up my 90 minute time limit!!". Ultimately choosing one restaurant over another when price point is about the same comes down to food so I'm glad I've got to try it but I will be sticking with my good old neighborhood all you can eat sushi next time. And oh be careful when you order and eat salmon Kama, because they don't pluck out the bones. read more

We had a great time, service at the bar was really good too (probably better than what people experience at a table since we can always get the bartenders attention). Everything was pretty good and I liked that they had tons of alternatives to sushi so you can get your moneys worth if you don't like raw fish. Unfortunately we got food poisoning after so I don't think we'll be going back soon, such a shame since the whole experience was great, but that's the risk you assume when eating tons of raw foods and I don't blame the restaurant for this at all. read more

Would love to give zero stars. We have been here several times with no issues with a kid. The lady up front looked at my son and said he looks over 4 ft so he is adult pricing. Mind you he has on big boots. The owner or manager said it's only fair because people lie and kids eat. Him being 6 years old is crazy to pay over $30. If it was nicely put then that would have been another story but the manager or owner was very rude and just said "goodbye" I've never been spoke to like this to take my kiddo to his favorite place to eat. THIS PLACE IS NOT KID FRIENDLY and management is rude. So sad, been a customer here for the branding change. Won't ever be back. read more
