yum!! We didn't make a reservation. just walked in around 5 PM and were sat right away. Our waitress, Kaia, was very attentive and gave great recommendations. We started with the gyoza and crispy tuna pizza rice. Both were INCREDIBLE, I think the crispy rice may be one of my new favorites from anywhere we've had it. Then we both ordered basic rolls and were out within an hour... Overall great experience and will definitely be back here when were in Golden again read more

I've worked in Golden for a couple of years now, but honestly, I didn't explore much. Now that my time in Downtown Golden is almost up, I'm trying to hit as many places as I can. One of those places? Okinawa Sushi and it was awesome. Let's dig in! what I tried: Yellowtail Jalapeño - thinly sliced yellowtail, jalapeño, cilantro, and chef's special sauce Spicy Crispy Tuna - crispy rice topped with spicy tuna, avocado, and tobiko Teriyaki Chicken - veggies, rice, and your choice of miso soup or green salad Titanic Roll - shrimp tempura, spicy tuna, avocado inside; spicy crab, crunch, soy bean paper, and special sauce on top Playboy Roll - spicy salmon and crunch inside, topped with seared peppered white tuna, avocado, tobiko, and chili sauce A5 Kobe Beef Carpaccio - lightly seared best bites: The A5 Kobe beef carpaccio was seriously next level. Perfectly seared, super buttery. The yellowtail jalapeño was fresh, flavorful, and had just the right amount of spice. And you KNOW I had to get the crispy rice with spicy tuna and it did not disappoint. If you're around Downtown Golden, definitely add Okinawa Sushi to your list! read more

Okinawa is our local neighborhood sushi spot. The sushi itself is decent but nothing That will blow your mind. They have some cool flavor combos but the actual fish quality isn't bad isn't great it just kind of "is". What I will tell you jumped out to us was the friendly server and the edamame dish. The edamame dish is combined with an oily peppery chunky flavor profile mixed in with bits of cooked garlic. Every time we come here the consensus is that we want to lick the bowl afterwards. It's that good read more

Pretty standard Colorado sushi fare. We went on a Friday night to get out of the house. Lots of the basics and a few interesting options. The clientele was lots of locals and students. Be careful with parking in another businesses lot. The service was great. My only nitpick is the temp, it was pretty chilly through out the meal. read more

I ordered via DoorDash and selected a few of my favorites like mackerel sashimi, yellowtail scallion rolls, and then tried a few "fancy" rolls like the Magic, Titanic, and Lovers. It was fresh, tasty, and delivered very quickly. read more

Restaurant is a great atmosphere with friendly staff. We got house salads and miso soup to start. I thought they were not good at all. After getting off to a bad start we got sushi. I gave them four stars because the sushi is really good and the staff and friendly. read more

A little on the pricier side for sushi but so worth it. The fatty tuna is worth it and buttery soft. I'm going to have dreams about how good the fatty tuna was. Portions were decent. Quality was high. Service was excellent. Anytime I'm near Golden, I'll stop in for some sushi or maybe just grab a fatty tuna to go. read more

Go! Get the Mango Supreme! This was one of the best rolls I've had. It was fresh, flavorful, & soooo beautiful (sorry I didn't take a pix). Maguro was fresh, and they have a really nice light yellowtail jalapeño appetizer that was really great too. Staff was friendly. Quieter spot in downtown Golden. read more

3.5 stars. Came here for a date night with my partner before watching a show at Miners Alley. Love that everything is walking distance within Downtown Golden. Service was good. Rolls were decent. We got the Playboy, Black Dragon, and Shrek, in addition to the Dynamite, which I'm now realizing is inherently more of an appetizer than a roll. Not my favorite sushi in Colorado, and you wouldn't expect that from a mountain town anyways. Rolls seem to be on the smaller side. I couldn't resist the Key Lime Cheesecake special being promoted that day, and it was the perfect modest-sized slice of tart and sweet to end the meal. Just adding to the very mixed reviews of this place! read more

We live in Denver and met some friends in Golden and decided on sushi. It's a chain so our expectations weren't high....blown away!! We ordered a salmon/avocado/caviar roll which sounds expensive but wasn't....delicious! Also ordered the king salmon and fatty tuna nigiri. All of it was amazing. It was as good as any fancy place we have in Denver. Great experience. Deserves more than 4 stars read more

went to sushi last night with my friend, it was so tasty. Got the sandwich roll which ended up being amazing and it was a perfect spice. Also got the special role. I had it which was a paradise roll and the tempura shrimp roll. My friend got the Leche martini and I got the Saketini. not only was the sushi really good and high-quality. Our server was so nice and she was so sweet. Really good sushi spot for golden read more

Great place to get some sushi! We had 4 people, 1 drink, a few appetizers, and under $150! Delicious! Also one roll not pictured! read more

Okinawa Sushi - Sushi Board - Japanese Near Me - Golden, Colorado

Excellent! We ate here this past Friday for lunch. Excellent food with large quantities. Friendly staff

A few people recommended Okinawa so I figured I would try it! We got the Kani Salad, which was really Good, as well as the jalapeño yellowtail appetizer. I saw great reviews about the yellowtail jalapeño appetizer, but I wasn't a fan of the sauce on it. The house salad was good but they barely gave any dressing so I had to ask for more. Got the sushi sandwich as well, asked for it without the wasabi mayo, but it came on it anyway. They were helpful and gave us one without but I went with my sister and she has specific allergies, so that was a bit concerning for us. Lastly we got the Titanic role, which was ok! For denver the sushi was pretty good but overall I'd had fresher sushi at other spots. read more

Great place for a good quality sushi in Golden. My server was very nice, friendly and she made sure I enjoyed my food. The restaurant is specious and perfect for big groups. If you like nigiris, I'd say their nigiris are on the smaller side except the Uni nigiri in the photo was a good portion. Due to the size of the nigiris, I'd say they are a bit pricey for what you get. read more

Good variety of roll options. The sashimi pieces were generous. Good service but parking is somewhat difficult.

Great service, very little wait for the food, very kind servers, and excellent fish. The atmosphere of the restaurant was very nice and peaceful. Would definitely recommend to anyone who likes sushi! read more

Wow. Walked into this really beautiful restaurant and seated at the sushi bar for the first time. That's my only complaint- you sit so low you cannot watch the chefs perform their artistry! And our dish of rolls and sushi was pure art. Delicious salmon and tuna sushi, rolls so beautiful you hated to disturb them. Great menu that includes- chicken, lamb chops and more. A bit pricey but fine for the service, atmosphere and fine food. We're gonna be regulars. read more

My normal sushi place is closed on Mondays, so on a recommendation from a close friend, we decided to try Okinawa. I have to say that it was a great find.

Great service. Good choices, good food. Salty hot edamame was good too. Yuuuuuuuuuuuuuuummmmmyyyy.

How do you not take a photo of your food when it looks like this work of art? "Black Dragon Roll" - outstanding! Best roll I've had to-date... from... anywhere. Highly recommend this place. Fresh & good quality - which is key when choosing a sushi restaurant, obviously. All flavors and textures were right on. Portions and pricing are on point; excellent value considering the quality of the food. The music isn't too loud (and it's pleasant and chill) + the vibe and ambiance is dim lit with beautiful interiors. This is a mega sushi spot win. read more

Upscale Japanese food in this large modern style restaurant. Nicely cut sashimi served at just the right temperature to maximize taste and emphasize freshness. Vegetable tempura was excellent but the shrimp tempura was suspiciously different. Anyway excellent selection and good service. read more

My partner and I stumbled upon this sushi spot in Golden during my birthday weekend and we were so glad we did. We have struck out on quite a few sushi places in Denver and decided we were ready to get hurt again but wow, this restaurant delivered on everything we ordered!! A truly phenomenal meal was enjoyed, so much we have been contemplating going to Golden just to tackle more of the menu. Great service too, even at the end of the night when they weren't open too much longer. Definitely will be back here!! read more

The staff are so sweet and attentive. We got a table for 2 right away despite the place being packed on a Friday night. I had the lychee sake. A tad too sweet, but otherwise good. Drink selection was good and plentiful. We ordered delicious miso soup to start on a cold snowy day. Our sushi came out not too fast, but not too slow. The presentation was excellent as well! Overall, an excellent spot for Friday night dinner. Best sushi you can get in Colorado! read more

Decent sushi, not amazing but definitely not bad! Drinks were curious... asked for a margarita and it did not come on the rocks or blended... more of a marga-tini curious but not totally bad. Server did not ask if we wanted miso or edamame before putting in our sushi order... maybe he was new to serving. Ask for tequila shots and he looked confused when we mentioned lime and salt. 6.5/10 read more

WARNING the lights on the ceiling flash on and off enough to give a a seizure. if you are sensitive to flashing lights while you eat DO not go to this restaurant. The sushi was very good, but the FLASHING light will make you Sick. chef Katie read more

Not bad! I'm no sushi connoisseur but my cousin and I liked all the rolls we had and I think they had a decent assortment of options which is good because I'm a little squeamish with certain foods haha (I cant so masago) Anyways, service was alright. Not memorable but not bad by any means. This place is pretty close to home so I'll definitely be back and parking is easy in Golden. Definitely a better choice than a lot of the Asian food options in Golden, but there isn't much. The actual location is right off the Main Street and in a cute place which seems nice and clean so top points for all that! Hey Yelp! Can we get approved emojis added to the next software update please? read more

Hands down, the best sushi I've had in years We ordered the dynamite as our appetizer. It was superb. We ordered the Spider-Man roll, the ninja roll & the black dragon roll. Between 2 people, it was more than enough food. I jokingly told my partner that this is a place you take someone to breakup with them because the food is so amazing that even that kind of bad news couldn't hold a candle to the food here. Service was exceptional & very friendly. The ambiance was super chill & the restaurant was very clean. Will definitely be back! read more

Not the most authentic Japanese restaurant but the sashimi was surprisingly delightful . What we got : OTORO - really fresh (MP) UNAGI - cooked perfectly King salmon - fresh and huge Uni - perfectly preserved The price point was a bit high . I've been at better places at denver and even more high end which were cheaper . Sashimi was good but all entrees were substandard Teriyaki - too salty and sauce was too much Teriyaki udon - super bad .... Skip pls Atmosphere was really inviting . Very spacious and customer service was impeccable read more

We ordered take out, and it was ready when we picked up. I can say quality is really good for the price. I really enjoyed the Lover rolls in shape of a heart, but I wasn't impressed with the Chirashi bowl witch had some stale, small pieces of fish included. Overall I would say it's a Yes for this place. read more

Place wasn't bad, but the menu description makes the items look way better than they taste. Good variety but overall wasn't overly impressed with any single roll we ordered. Not bad, but if I'm paying $15-$16 for a roll, I expect better quality. The miso soup was good. Also, despite the advertised 5% off coupon, they don't honor it. They say it's from like 2 years ago. read more
