The vibe is fast and loud, but the servers are super efficient and communicative. I really liked the tokidoki roll and hamachikama. Hard to go wrong with those! The hamachi kama was HUGE. They give you the entier collar! I also liked the yaki ika which was very tasty, not rubbery at all. They have a lot of ramen on the menu which was a crowd pleaser for our group. Their edamame is also very spicy and quite good -- not your typical simply salted edamame. One thing I wouldn't order - the kimchi fried rice. One person in our party ordered it but it wasn't really fried rice, just kimchi and meat mixed with steamed white rice.

The staff were incredibly attentive, welcoming. The menu is quite extensive and they have other food apart from Japanese, such as Chinese inspired dumplings and fried rice.

The ramen is really good. The nigiri is also pretty good. The rolls are usually a let down for us unfortunately. That said, the happy hour menu is a good deal for a hang out, especially in large group, and the brunch menu is pretty nice. In my opinion, Mizu was probably one of the better Japanese options back in the day. However, with so many other good spots now, especially with Kawa Ni close by with a better izakaya hang out spot, it's not as attractive of an option, especially given the higher price. It really is not a restaurant that specializes in any particular food, but is certainly a crowd pleaser if you have people that want different things.

I saw, from the reviews, that to come here without a reservation, you want to come right when they open. We saw a wave of people start lining up and congregating as we were parking. Luckily, we made it in the first wave of people seated. We were offered the choice to sit inside/outside. Our server was very attentive and friendly. The drinks and food came out quickly. We ordered the sake and the sake mule. Both were good! We also got 2 pieces of nigiri from Japan and it was heavenly! Other items that piqued our interest were the tuna firecracker roll, a salmon roll, and another tuna roll. Everything tasted delicious, although I was surprised by the asparagus in my rolls. I don't know that that is my favorite! We had a great experience and would love to come back.

Also tried the eggplant, which was a nice veggie option if you're mixing in something lighter. But the pork chasu garlic rice is what I keep thinking about. Tender pork, garlic chips, egg, all mixed together, it's a simple sounding dish that ends up being the best thing on the table.

The guava and fruity flavor was a nice hint. 3. Sushi Sample: completely forgot to ask without wasabi and the chef was extremely heavy handed, but it was still fresh. 4. Wagyu Sando: absolutely delish, and the blackberry sauce was super complimentary. 5. Honey Miso Eggplant: loved the flavor and reminded me of a sweet mushy cucumber almost Regular Menu; 1. Bacon Mochi, this is definitely an experience but was a huge miss 2. Pork Chashu Fried Rice: absolute must! Our server didnt mix it, but I figured with two large spoons I was suppose to. The crispy edges were perfection. Overall such a great happy hour! It was about $120 with tip for all of it! Would try and come back for the upbeat happy hour experience.

We also ordered sushi, gyozas, a lychee fresh (which was SO good!), and one of their specialty desserts that's made by a local pastry chef. It isn't part of their regular menu, but if they have it when you visit, don't skip it. It was absolutely worth it. The restaurant has a cozy, traditional Asian atmosphere that makes the whole experience feel really authentic. Everyone was kind and welcoming, and the service was great from start to finish. Overall, everything we tried was delicious, and I'd definitely come back. Whether you're planning a date night, dinner with friends, or just craving good Asian food, this place is 100% worth checking out

The grilled Shishito pepper appetizer with the delicious kimchi sauce was also a favorite. We tried the Shag and the Spicy Crunchy Maki rolls and enjoyed those too. Everything was so fresh and had amazing flavor. I tried the Wagyu Tartare and it was very yummy. My sister tried the Fried Milk dessert and it was yummy but the Warm Banana Cake was to die for. Jameson gave us vouchers to come back and comped one of the rolls because it took so long to come out. He also didn't forget about my birthday and sent us home with a little birthday gift. We had an amazing experience and it was a great end to a girls day out. We will absolutely be back.

this place is one of my favorite hand roll places ever (from a girl coming from California who had…read moremany options)! I was in Denver to visit my friend, and I was telling her how I really liked hand rolls and so she recommended this place and it did not disappoint. We got here during happy hour when at first opened and immediately there was already a line luckily we were early so we did get seated a few minutes after arriving, and we were served relatively quickly. We got to sit at the bar and we ordered off of the happy hour menu, which was great because it had more than enough of what I wanted to try. We got several hand rolls and several of their other appetizers, but my favorite has to be their hand rolls. Their seaweed was so crispy and rolled so nicely. The rice was flavorful and their fish was so fresh. I felt like their prices were also pretty reasonable and I was more than content after having that dinner. Overall, I would put this very much on par with a place called Kazunori in LA. I heard that this restaurant has a sister restaurant called sushi Den that I heard was really good and that I will be trying out next time I'm in town. Please come try out Tamaki done if you're ever in the area the food will not disappoint. The restaurant is big with plenty indoor seating, but it will get packed and for good reasons because the food is so good!

To celebrate our anniversary, we decided to come to Temaki Den and it did not disappoint (the hype…read moremakes a lot of sense). We thought we made a mistake choosing sushi bar instead of a table because we'll have back issues. Surprisingly, the chairs had a mini back so you could lean back occasionally. And we think our experience was better because the sushi chefs would explain the origin of the fish and all the ingredients they used into each roll and order. We also got a complimentary piece for sitting at the sushi bar which was a light fried yellow tail which was so good. Service is amazing. They're attentive and check in on you often. It does take some time to get your rolls but give its time to digest. From watching the sushi chefs at the bar, they're very precise in how they make each roll. Every roll has similar proportions from the slight wasabi they use to the amount of rice and fish. Everything that we had was amazing. The hamachi and salmon sashimi felt like butter. It just melts in your mouth. The aged toro was so delicious. Even the edamame was just so good. The unagi nigiri is some of the best I've had in the state (the nigri was better than the handroll and I think it's because I love unagi so I love the ratio in nigiri form). The Spicy Tuna Oshizushi was a surprising favorite of the night along with the Crème Fresh Salmon Belly. I could've done without the wagyu but it was good. Every order does come with only 1 so order based on the amount of people that are with your party. Some items we were unsure of like the wagyu so we ordered 1 and shared a bite. Overall, I understand the hype and the reservations. But it was worth it and I'm surprised we can get high quality fish in a landlock state. Of the high end sushi restaurants in CO, Temaki Den is probably my fave.
