Easily the best Sushi in Lakewood! Maybe Denver. (Sushi Den is in the running). If you're lucky they'll have Toro. Expensive but UNbelievable!! The service is prompt and accurate. Super knowledgeable about the menu options. It's a non- descript location in a strip mall but don't let that fool you. Once you're inside you're in your happy place! Give it a go!! read more

I have to say I'm very disappointed... i've been coming to Orion for years. It's been one of my favorite sushi places, but after this experience, I won't be coming back. It was an older lady that was coming around to the tables trying to push the sea urchin on everyone. We reluctantly was like OK I guess we'll try it and it was disgusting and then I see when I get the bill while she's pushing it on everybody because four little pieces and we were charged $50. I feel completely tricked and I will never come back. read more

Oh, my goodness. This place is a semi hidden gem! It's located in a shopping center with a few other places. Make sure you walk in to the correct place though! Me and my partner accidentally walked into a place a few stores down but that's on us. Anyways the staff is so friendly, the greeter told us we could sit anywhere, so we sat at a comfy booth! The atmosphere is comfortable modern but still authentic (from what I can tell) and our server was so sweet and answered all my silly questions. Even the ones that made me sound very American like " what does _____ taste like?" And such. Even checked if they had peach raume for me! Me and my partner shared various things that I can't remember because I'm just in awe of how good it was. OH Ans the presentation! There was literally a dry ice like thing happening on a lil cup it was so fun! I highly recommend this place for newcomers and sushi lovers alike! I'm definitely gonna be coming back and telling my friends about this place! read more

This is a quiet strip mall gem I'm saddened that it took me so long to enjoy. I have a family member that is a sushi junkie and he spotted this as we were driving home from a shooting range. As soon as we walked in we fell in love with the small, family owned feel. We were greeted by Ervina who seated us and was also our server. She really helped us out as we were ordering from a dinner menu during lunchtime. She transferred our order to a lunch form that saved us some money. How I loved the honesty of family owned operations. The sushi we ordered arrived within ten minutes and it was incredible. Beautifully plated, well made and wonderfully seasoned. Each choice tasted just as it was advertised. The prices were reasonable as well. When the meal was over we were even given a small plate of salmon tempura to try. It was also first rate. This is only two miles from my house and just might be my new favorite sushi joint. Fast service, great food and an honest staff. I highly recommend this little sushi house. read more

Great service and very fresh tasting sushi options here! Came for a business lunch and had never been here. Was very pleasantly surprised! Started with edamame and wontons. Both were exactly what you'd expect. For main course, my coworker got lo Mein and said it was delicious! Other colleague and I split some rolls and I got some sashimi. The sashimi tasted incredible and so fresh! Surprising for a landlocked, strip mall joint! Our service was excellent. The server was very friendly and patient with us as decided on our orders. So glad my colleague introduced me to this spot near my house. I will be adding this to my regular rotation for sure! read more

Solid 4 star and so far the best sushi I've found in Colorado! Better thsn Sushi Den. Ok, so why the 4 star not a 5 star? The reason is because I have Southern California standards. There's amazing sushi in So Cal, and down there this place could hold its own as a good spot but not as one of the top spots. But so far it's the top spot in Colorado and it's definitely good. I will continue to try and find better but also I may return because I've tried 10+ and this is ghe best out of those. The ambiance is nice for being in a little strip mall, nothing super upscale but nice and medium sized. The service was good, tge waiter was nice. The presentation of the food was really good. So far this is my only real foodie recommendation for sushi, but again by So Cal standards is a B rating- hence the 4 stars. Happy eating. read more

Orion Sushi - Rolls!! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Lakewood, Colorado

We love eating here! We have been dining here since they opened. Everything is delicious! Rudy is always always awesome!

Orion is AMAZING every single time. The sushi, ramen, shrimp fried rice, and edamame are all delicious!!! The service is also outstanding. We love supporting this restaurant because it is always consistent. P.S. They made sure my order was gluten free upon request, which was much appreciated! read more

Service was great, but the fish was very poor quality in my opinion. Warm, tasteless sashimi, and rolls. This wasn't the first time, but it will be my last. read more

Always good. I tried sea urchin for the first time! Eel is superb, sushi is fresh. In short it is hard to pass it by. read more

Orion Sushi - Me after a sumptuous meal including sea urchin!!!! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Lakewood, Colorado

Not a bad little sushi joint, but nothing to write home about. Service was prompt, but the ambiance was a little cold and plain. The salmon and the yellow tail were on point in terms of flavor, but the snapper (which is usually my favorite!) was tough and didn't taste as elegant as it should. They had quite a few speciality rolls, but many of them are sauced, which I try to avoid. I enjoyed it, but probably wouldn't order it again. Give the place a try if you live nearby. read more

Orion Sushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Lakewood, Colorado

Our usual place was closed so I ordered pick up from here to try somewhere new. We ordered the Super White Sushi, shake, avocado eel, Yellowtail Scallion roll, and mussels. Pickup service was nice and quick. The ambiance of the place looked nice. Bright and clean. Food was ok but not my favorite. Fish wasn't as fresh as other locations in the area and all items were warm. Warm sushi is a pet peeve of mine. read more

I was looking for a place to grab some sushi with a friend before catching the holiday lights at Bandimere Speedway. After perusing Yelp, Orion seemed like a great choice, and honestly it proved to be perfect. The sushi menu is expansive! So many neat and creative rolls-- it took us awhile to choose. They also have some great sets so we did a mix to get both our maki and nigiri fix. At one point we realized one roll hadn't yet been delivered, and despite the fact that we had over ordered, we persisted. Truly delicious. The other thing I will say is that the service here was above and beyond. Friendly, professional and very attentive. I haven't experienced anything at that level in awhile. Also our server let us know they do a BOGO happy hour on sake too, which was appreciated. All in all a great experience. And while this place isn't in my usual neck of the woods, I'm definitely planning to check it out again when out this way. Seems like a perfect stop off after a foothills hike or trail run. read more

Great Japanese restaurant! Enjoyed a variety of sushi & sashimi. Excellent service and convenient location. Well priced for the quality.

This place was as delicious as my friends said it would be! :) We had quite a variety of sushi rolls and everything was delicious. Whatever white wine I had was good as well. And they pour bigger glasses than most places haha so that's a plus! Service was quick, friendly, and efficient. Parking is a easy and the inside isn't fancy but it's cute and nice enough for a date night. Will probably be back since my friends are big fans of this spot! read more

We were blown away by the quality of the sushi here; equally-yoked with rolls found in high-rent districts, we were pleasantly surprised at the variety and flavor profiles available.

Quality sushi that doesn't break the bank. Best sushi option in this part of Lakewood.

Service was great, our waiter was very polite and professional. Food arrived quickly and the hot sake was great. HOWEVER This is the worst sushi and goyza I've ever had. The fish did not taste fresh at all and the rice had an awful flavor. The gyoza was just frozen ones that were barely warmed up and burnt on one side. We took one bite of the sushi and decided it was not worth the risk for a second bite due to the foul flavor. Also there was a sewage smell right when we walked in. I know that can be typical of just being a restaurant but we should have turned around and left upon entering. read more

Been there a few times, never have been unsatisfied. Highly recommend this neighborhood spot!

Our go to sushi restaurant. Everything is always fresh. Love the variety of rolls. Favorites are the crazy salmon roll and the volcano roll. Service is always fantastic and Aaron is the best server! Very attentive and friendly. read more

Absolutely delicious sushi! I got a roll that had peppered tuna, and it was amazing. Everything we got was fresh and delicious! read more

We love having a great quality sushi restaurant out here in the burbs! Orion sushi has been on point every time we've been with their service and food. They clearly put a lot of love and attention into their food, even the miso soup is much better than the standard with really nice wakame instead of the standard tasteless seaweed. The fish quality is always excellent and perfectly prepared. We love the hamachi collar and new style sashimi. Highly recommended if you are passing through or looking for your new neighborhood sushi spot. read more

We really enjoyed Orion Sushi and love that it's so close to our house. It's nice to have a few really good sushi options. Pros: ** Nice space and plenty of bar sushi seating as well as the traditional bar seating. ** The sushi chefs know what they're doing and take pride in their work. ** Presentation is amazing. It didn't bother me that some of the flowers weren't real, it was still a stunning plating experience. ** The sushi was great, tasted fresh and the portion and prices were reasonable. Cons: ** The night we visited, it was noticeably slow. Despite this, our server wasn't as attentive and responsive as he could've been. I think my only reservation about the service was seeing the wait staff take their breaks in plain view as well as eat at the bar while we waited at times, for a refill or drink order, for example. I anticipate that the glitches with service will work themselves out as Orion gains a customer base. I'm chalking it up as a learning curve. We do plan to return. read more

Do not sleep on this grocery store parking lot-anchored sushi gem! We were on the hunt for GOOD sushi but away from downtown Denver (on the Rockies home opener) and Orion came up in a quick Google search of the area. A rather unassuming location - King Soopers strip mall next to a family a Italian joint (which I have on good authority is great, btw). Orion has a lovely atmosphere - clean, bright, airy and plenty of seating. We were seated right away for lunch on a Friday. The servers were excellent! Friendly and attentive, quick to refill waters and everything came out so quickly. We started with the Monkey Brains - not ACTUAL money brains for those of you unfamiliar with the dish (lol). It's an avocado stuffed with crab, spicy tuna, and cream cheese then lightly fried. It was delicious - a little heavier on the cream cheese than crab/tuna for my preference, and therefore not the best I've ever had, but still really, really good. Get it. You won't be sorry. My gauge for good sushi will always be nigiri (traditional style, fish over rice) and I tend to get the same thing at each new joint I visit, in order to keep it consistent: unagi (eel), sake (salmon) and maguro (tuna). I have to say that Orion's was some of the best I've had! I'm looking primarily for texture of the fish, flavor, serving size and value. Orion nailed it with each one. So freaking fresh, flavorful, tender, nicely portioned and affordable! We ordered 3 rolls: Crunchy Spicy Tuna, Spider, and Rising Sun. They were all phenomenal but I would say the Rising Sun was our favorite. The presentation was beautiful - our whole experience was outstanding! We were celebrating so we weren't paying too much attention to cost when ordering but I will tell you that we left fat and happy, and for probably 15% less money than we've spent at "some of the best sushi places in Denver". I am so pleased and will gladly shout from the rooftops (of Yelp) that everyone needs to visit this place. Thank you!! read more

Very disappointed with this place. Not sure how they have such a high rating. The sushi is bland somehow and the wasabi was oddly not spicy, we had to pile on the wasabi to get a little amount of spice/heat. read more

Pretty disappointed...My mother and I have been going to this restaurant for almost 4 years -often. It was our absolute favorite. We recently moved up to Erie about an hour away and came down purely to visit Orion. The waiters that were here a couple years ago were very friendly, attentive, and just all around, a welcoming staff. I want to preface this with the fact that we were 1 of 2 parties in there today around 2pm. If not the only party in there. This new-ish waiter that they hired about a year or so ago (gentleman with the glasses, tattoos, and well-kept hair) was incredibly rude and passive. No greeting, he came to the table about 5 minutes after we had put our menus on the edge of the table to indicate that we were ready to order. Again, no hello, nothing, just came up to the table grabbed the sheet of paper, spritly repeated what we had marked, and started to quickly walk away and my mother had to call out to him and ask for a drink herself since he never asked what we'd like to drink. (Which they always do.) To which, according to my mother, he made a face of annoyance and said "okay" in a short snap. He never came to the table to ask if we wanted refills on our drinks, never asked if she wanted sweetener for her tea, and that's when my mother said something about his attitude. The biggest issue I have is the fact that when I saw him when we initially entered, I kinda went "ugh..." inside because this is NOT a one-off incident with this waiter. At least on two other occasions we had him wait our table and it was the same experience -rude, passive, and giving off the attitude as if WE were inconveniencing HIM by being there. Making it rather uncomfortable for the customers, which is absolutely UNACCEPTABLE when you are paying a decent amount for the food. The manager did try his best to make up for this employees poor conduct by serving us himself for the remainder of our meal, removing the tipping option from the check, a comp on the receipt, and two mochis. (THAT IS THE ONLY REASON I AM GIVING 2 STARS INSTEAD OF 1). However, despite the manager being very kind about the situation, we unfortunately and honestly, sadly, will NOT be returning to Orion again because of this particular sever. He has now negatively affected several of our experiences at Orion and we will not risk another. I would understand if he had a bad day or something but this just seems to be his personality and he should honestly not be a waiter if he thinks it's okay to be an a** to customers/people for absolutely no reason. Food has always been great, but don't go to Orion if you're expecting a nice experience overall because this server will make you feel like you did something to bug him or you'll just experience his general unpleasantness. Time to find a new go-to-sushi-place. read more

The sushi with the fish pieces on top were big and generous. The fresh water shrimp sushi was excellent. However all other sushi was okay and not as fresh as we would like. The fish collar was excellent. The staff was fast and attentive. read more

It's was good ... not sure when we will try again . They skimped on the rice :( Take out was $70 dollars and they only gave "1" small rice ??? We will try and eat there next time to see if it's better. Tempura was really good portions were small for the money. read more

I was hoping I would like this place. The staff is friendly, and the prices for some of their sushi rolls are reasonable. But unfortunately, the food just wasn't that good :( Especially Calamari. Whatever they used to fry it, just ends up being a big, thick, squishy, coat of dough on the outside of the meat, I'm not a picky eater, and I'm still not even able to eat it. read more

Japanese Fried Rice was a disappointment My husband and I ordered Uberaeats from here since we got a gift card for Christmas. So we judged based on the quality of the food, not necessarily the temperature, etc, things that can go wrong with delivery. The Sushi was good for delivery and we enjoyed the goyza. He loved his chicken katsu. However, the big disappointment was the Japanese Fried rice. According to the menu, it was supposed to come with peas and carrots. It did not come with either. It could be best described as a mediocre plain chicken and rice dish. It lacked flavor, seasoning, and the additional ingredients it was supposed to come with! I ordered this as my main entree and was left very disappointed at the end of the night. read more

Best way to describe this place: solid. Was crowded when we walked in for dinner (good sign) but we were seated right away. For how good quality this sushi was, it was an unbelievably cheap meal!
