    Wonderful assortment of nigiri sushi
    Don N.

    After a month in Colorado we were still searching for a good sushi spot that checked all the boxes, with our visit to Hana Matsuri we have found our new favorite location. Nice open layout, decent size space with a combination tables and a sushi bar. No reservation but we were able to get a table quickly on a rather crowded Sunday evening. Ordering was straight forward, either mark off your dish of choice on the provided menu paper or order off the menu. We started with the mixed tempura app..I really need to stop doing this as we haven't found a good tempura in this area but I keep hoping! Wife went with the Chirashi bowl that had generous cuts of fresh seafood. Thumbs up on this dish. I ordered 9 different nigiri for a total of 18 pieces. I was very happy with the quality and presentation. We did receive two giveaway cards redeemable on our next visit so we'll definitely coming back sooner rather then later. All around best sushi so far and we left happy!

    I got a bunch of sushi recs for Denver, but this place definitely wasn't on my bingo card. It's just north of the city, about a 30-minute drive, and honestly--if you're in the area, it's worth the trip. The moment I walked in, I could tell it was a local favorite. For a Monday right around opening time, the place already had a healthy amount of patrons. It was a good sign. I was greeted by a guy named Lukas, who nailed the recommendations for a first-timer. We kicked things off with beer and sake, and then the appetizers started rolling out. The presentation? Spot on. Everything was super fresh, full of flavor. What more do you need? Then came the rolls. Wow, is all I can say. I've been to a lot of sushi spots, but the combo of service and quality here stood out. Lukas was attentive, not just to us, but to every table around us. Just a solid dude. Good food, good vibes. Glad my friend put this one on my radar.

    Dragon Roll
    Ed D.

    Very popular restaurant as it was packed. We didn't wait that long for a table on a Friday night for 2. We got a bunch of sashimi (eel, smoked eel, salmon, tuna) and a dragon roll and a spicy roll that I forgot the name but everything was fresh and tasty. I spent about $90 so prices weren't bad. Service was super attentive and fast. It felt like our server was rushing us to be done and we weren't even there long...but I think he just had a very strong work ethic and wanted to be fast. Giving him the benefit of the doubt. Nice shushi place.

    First of all, the service was very good. They were very attentive, enough though we were sitting outside. He was very polite and professional. This sushi place is probably not for true sushi enthusiasts, but it's ok for rolls and basic nigiri. I was very surprised that the sushi rice fell apart. True sushi rice is very sticky. My nigiri pretty much fell apart after grabbing it with my chopsticks. The cucumber roll wasn't rolled very tightly and fell apart as well. My favorite was the scallop roll. We were just passing by on our way to Estes park, so it was just ok to eat after getting off the plane.

    This is the best sushi place in the area. So far it's my favorite in Colorado. The spicy Bincho and amazing roll are my favorite rolls. The new style sashimi & spicy yellowtail are our favorite sashimi appetizers. The service is always pretty good, they have a very friendly staff. Ambiance is good for a strip mall. Ultimately this is my favorite sushi place and I definitely recommend it!

    Came here for the first time with a friend who had been before. No reservation but they have plenty of seats open around 5pm. The staff were on top of it, the food came out at a good pace. The parking lot is a bit messy, but you can find parking behind the resturant or near by. Inside it is beautiful with Cherry Blossoms on the walls. I got the wontons which were a perfect starter and came out very quickly. We ordered a bunch of rolls and enjoyed our time. I will definitely come back when I am in the area.

    House salad
    Mara B.

    I had such a lovely dinner at Hana Matsuri! The service here was some of the best I've experienced in the Denver-Metro area in awhile. Kyle was the best! He was attentive and helpful! That alone made this experience so stand out from the minute we walked in the door to the moment we left. I got the Sashimi plate, which had a lot of beautiful fish. Everything was fresh and tasted so good! I really enjoyed the house salad. The dressing was so good I could've gone for more! I think the striped bass was my favorite sashimi of the evening. My partner got the maki plate with a cali roll, avocado roll, and spicy tuna roll. I loved their spicy tuna roll! I would get that next time if I was planning to get maki. I love that there's a yummy sushi spot so close to home! I can't wait to come back!

    We came here for my friend's birthday. The sushi rolls are delicious. I especially enjoyed the lobster roll and the spicy tuna roll, and my kid, a connoisseur of fatty tuna, said it was excellent. Everything beautifully plated. The sushi was fresh and there was a wide variety. Service was friendly and efficient, and the restaurant is clean and bright. My only issue is that it's really cold. I'm not sure why, but I was wearing my parka the whole time. Maybe because we were near the door (and our party was too big to move) but the place was ice cold. It wouldn't stop me from going again, but it made me eat quickly and I couldn't linger.

    Absolutely fantastic. We had a birthday celebration for lunch. We ordered very specific items and asked the Sushi Chef to be creative and he was.

    My star rating: * Avoid. Why are you even open? ** Avoid unless the last restaurant on earth. *** Several important misses. Not recommended. **** Very enjoyable experience. Highly recommended. ***** Hits every mark of perfection. PROS Nice size sushi fish pieces. Immediately greeted by host with a friendly smile. Staff service was very good - even the new person training. Lots of staff behind the sushi counter. Nice open restaurant. A fair number of seats at the sushi counter. Plenty of parking. CONS I prefer my raw fish pieces to be a bit colder - I understand that may not be how sushi is typically served, but that is the way I like it. The restaurant was warm - maybe since they just opened it takes a while for the AC to cool the place down.

    Came here for Valentine's Day and came out with making this my new favorite sushi place! They gave us girls roses and balloons, which showed that the owner genuinely values people who come here! Elle who served us was AMAZING and contributed for me to love this place! Come come!

    Great sushi and other dishes. Simple but nice wine list. Usually good and only have had one bad waitress but because of her, I give a 4.

I am so glad we did because this place is a hidden gem in the neighborhood. Once we were inside we were greeted by friendly staff and seated, cold glasses of water came alongside the menus. We decided on some sushi, a plate of Shrimp Yakisoba, and Kobe Beef Fried Rice. The fried rice was so delicious. The best I've had in a long time, the last time I had fried rice this good was when my friend's Japanese grandmother made it for us. That was over 15 years ago. I am also a big fan of Yakisoba, and this Yakisoba was also one of the best I've had in a long time. The sushi was excellent too. The inside is decorated with a nice modern feel, and it's clean and tidy. I love the feel in here. People are just talking, eating, it feels like a true neighborhood joint where there's regulars. I have a feeling I am going to become a regular here too.

We arrived at 6:30 pm on a Saturday evening to full restaurant which was a great sign. You also want to see your sushi bar moving a lot of product so you know their seafood will be fresh. Lucky for us there were two seats at the bar open so we were seated right away. We started off the meal with of course some Sapporo and premium sake along with a tempura app. I've not found great tempura in the area and was pleasantly surprised with their preparation. We then ordered a Chirashi bowl (wife) and assorted nigiri for myself. The chirashi was okay, decent but not anything amazing. Some of the fish cuts were a little odd like they were the trimmings from the end of the filet. My nigiri was solid and I appreciate the fish to rice ratio was perfect as lot of other places make their sushi with way too much rice to stretch the dish. The amaebi or sweet shrimp was fresh and heads were nicely fried and tasty though I wish they fried it a minute longer. Overall a solid sushi bar tucked away from the main road but definitely worth a visit!

I ordered the Red Dragon roll, the champion sashimi, and the Denver roll to go via online ordering through their website. The ordering process was not ideal for a first time customer because none of the items had descriptions so I was looking between their website and then the ordering platform. Once you order it gives you a time frame but I never got another notice when my order was actually ready which wasn't ideal. My order was correct and packaged very pretty for takeout. The Red Dragon roll was just okay. In my opinion, the tuna on top of it is sliced very thin, so it's not much of a show stopper especially for what they consider to be a special roll. It had a lot of rice. It was fine but I don't think I'd order it again because it wasn't memorable in my opinion. The champion sashimi was kinda spicy which I didn't expect but it was delicious. I would order more of this or something similar to this preparation next time. The Denver roll was refreshing. It's wrapped in cucumber and it comes with a special sauce. I liked it. It was pretty filling too. I could see myself ordering that again if I'm craving a lighter option. I'd order the champion sashimi again and try something new next time for my second option.
