The menu artfully balances traditional Japanese favorites with inventive modern creations: specialty sushi rolls, pristine sashimi, and classic appetizers, each delivered with remarkable freshness and flavor. The space is understated yet elegant, featuring a sushi bar and a dining area that suit both casual dinners and more formal evenings; I particularly loved the almost sparse, classy decor and the fresh flowers on every table. Service begins most days at 4:00 PM for dinner, with lunch available Thursday through Sunday starting at 11:00 AM. Closed on Wednesdays. If you appreciate thoughtful super delicious cuisine, clean design, and a welcoming atmosphere, this is a must- **This is the new brainchild of the talented Orrapan who also owns @lamaithaikitchen & @somdeethaikitchen

Come for the food, stay for the sunset views of Denver over Sloan's lake. What's on the menu? - Sushi rolls & fresh sashimi (love the spicy tuna on rice and aburi options) - Steaming bowls of ramen (great flavor, and even a Tom Yum option) - Yakitori skewers: tofu, shrimp, chicken thigh, pork belly, beef, and more - Rice (and meat) bowls - Crispy katsu This spot is still new so they're learning and adjusting, but the staff is super nice! Great addition to the neighborhood!

Our server was friendly, but not the most attentive and didn't really handle customer concerns very well. While we weren't in a hurry, our table along with the other others around us were provided very slow service. Our overall dining experience took over two hours. Their space is pretty large and the kitchen appeared to be small so I wonder if it was just a capacity mismatch The sushi and food we had was pretty good, although the roll was wrapped loosely and started to fall apart. Highly recommend the crispy tuna bites - tricky to eat with chopsticks but oh so tasty

Yuki is close to a weekly or bi-weekly routine and each time, I'm amazed by the great sushi quality and execution of some of the dishes. Some highlights for me include the chicken Katsu curry, the ramen, and all of the fresh fish sashimi. They have a very solid lunch special and prices are appropriately priced, making this a great sushi place to indulge without spending your piggy bank savings. Highly highly recommend this to folks looking for high quality fish, authentic preparation and execution of Japanese dishes, and a no frills/chill atmosphere assisted by great service.

Uni was buttery texture and did not have any fishy taste at all. The Aburi Hako was delicious. The salmon belly had the right amount of sear and was super flavorful. Had their Sushi Masters ramen. This broth was fish based and much lighter than the tonkotsu. It was packed full of flavor and the madai fillets was cooked perfectly. It was tender and had such a good flavor that complemented the broth. However the noodles were undercooked and chewy for me. In general good price for good portion and quality of fish!

Started off with some apps: the french fries were okay. However the gyoza was amazing. Nice and crispy! The ramens we ordered were all okay. The tonkatsu could definitely use a bit more salt and flavor. The Ramen Star was slightly better but just very slightly needed more salt and a little more flavor. Noodles were all good, not too bad. The sushi portion was, surprising. Nigiri set had tuna with blue cheese, not my cup of tea. All were prepared with wasabi which is traditional but felt it was overpowering unfortunately. The spicy tuna crispy rice was okay. The bell peppers were a bit too much. Overall it was an okay place. Not amazing but not terrible. Ramen service was a bit slower than typical but didnt come out scolding hot, so just a difference.

As an appetizer I ordered the mini pork soup dimpling which had a strong sesame flavor. Thankfully I love sesame, but it could be overpowering for somebody else.

The service was friendly, food came out quickly, and there was plenty of available seating on a Saturday evening.
