    Lovin that Sushi
    Jason P.

    Time too talk about Uber Eats...was a little afraid to order this because I live in California and my son is living in Colorado, but it was his birthday today and I wanted to do something special. I found this place on Yelp, and specifically ordered from here because of all the mostly good reviews this Sushi restaurant has on the site. My son was not able to come in, so I sent it over Uber Eats and I must say how excited he was to receive such an amazing meal. I ordered 4 sushi rolls and some other items and he got them exactly when the time slot came up. I ordered on the site the day before so I could secure the right time slot and I must say it worked without a hitch. The items were super well packaged and he absolutely loved the food! He said everything came exactly as per the menu. He really enjoyed everything he received! Thank you SO much for helping make my sons first birthday away from home special. I'll order for him again for sure!!

    Great Sushi at excellent prices. We had 3 Hawaiian roll, French and Crunchy California Rolls and every single bite was to die for!!! First time here and will not be our last.

    Let me start by saying that I love sushi... and that I am posting this much later than originally anticipated... I really enjoy trying new and different things whenever I have the opportunity and Sawara definitely delivered! My sister and I were getting pretty hungry and had a long-standing rain check to get sushi together. With COVID, there weren't really any places we had the option of visiting in person, so we decided to order in. My sister found Sawara after a quick search and we were able to see the menu on their website. The search results didn't list delivery as an option, so we gave them a call and a nice man on the other end of the line confirmed that they were able to provide delivery service through a third party (DoorDash). In today's world, delivery has become the popular option among those that would rather not venture out to get a bite to eat. While I totally understand that, I'm not really a huge fan of these large third party delivery companies; for many, the fees tend to pile up but the restaurants and delivery staff don't end up seeing very much of the profit... but I digress. We placed an order for a handful of rolls - about a 50/50 split between vegetarian choices and non-vegetarian choices (mine were the non-veg... and pretty spicy to boot!!). I forget exactly what each roll was called, unfortunately, but we received our order within the quoted window with a jolly text message from the delivery person when it arrived. He double checked our order to ensure it included utensils, soy sauce, extra sauces my sister had asked for, and napkins which I appreciated so sooooo much as there have been many times details are overlooked in cases where there are some pretty detailed requests. Both my sister and I thoroughly enjoyed our rolls and frequently furrowed our brows at one another to convey an "I didn't think this would be so yummy" sort of look lol. The fish - in my case - was so unbelievably fresh and tasty and each flavor written in the menu description was well accounted for after each bite. My sister loved her veggie rolls as well... we mutually agreed that this would be a meal we would be glad to put ourselves into a food coma for! LOL. Thank you, Sawara, for your excels food, excellent service, and reasonable prices. Whenever I find myself in your neck of the woods I will be SURE to stop in.

    The sushi is amazing and the prices aren't bad either! Most of the choices are the same or less than king soopers "snow fox." I always order miso soup as well and it's one of my favorite places to get it!

    Decent sushi. A step up from grocery store sushi. Enjoyed all three of our rolls. Dragon gone wild was both our favorite. The booths are quite uncomfortable, and the paper products seem wasteful. Feels like a cafeteria, not a restaurant. Will try another place in CR before coming back.

    This place deserves accolades! Great fresh & high quality sushi, huge variety of rolls, excellent pricing (why would anyone buy sushi at WholeFoods, for example, when it's no where near this level, not as fresh and more $$). This "fast-food" version of sushi rivals anything else in town, even the traditional style sushi restaurants. I've had sushi all over the country and find this little Castle Rock sushi restaurant to be a true gem. Added bonus: the owners are super friendly and we've never once had a to-go order with an error (out probably 50 orders). Perfect, beautiful sushi every time. They are very serious about their business and the quality of what they offer...very healthy rolls and not the gross deep fried BS that so many places have; IMO that is not real sushi-it's adulterated and unhealthy. Sawara's is authentic, legit sushi. Some may not be able to appreciate that but if you are a true connoisseur, you will appreciate the consistency and purity. Sauces are creative and provide uniqueness (ex, the Red Sea roll with "Habanero Lemon Sauce" and the Sunshine roll with "lemon ginger sauce." and there are great options for spice-lovers (Fireblast roll for ex--we like with spicy mayo)...Other favs are New Sawara, Dragon Gone Wild, Sweet Dreams, Crazy Love & Pina Colorado for something a little sweet. Sashimi and nigiri is also excellent--generous cuts and always very fresh. They even have "no rice" rolls (we love the Evergreen) and gluten free and Vegetarian options. I hope they never leave Castle Rock because we're hooked for life!!

    Used to be great, affordable Sushi but overnight they raised their prices 66% per piece of sushi. For that price, there are better options.

I don't know where "reviewer" Keven went four months ago, but both interior & exterior looked brand new, so his references about shabby furniture are confounding. What he described simply didn't exist. The waitstaff was attentive and polite, and each course arrived within a reasonable time. As for the food, it was excellent. We had an appetizer of baked Brie and prosciutto, that was served with a spicy peach reduction meant to be spread on the toast quarters that accompanied the dish. The pastas were all fresh and prepared al dente, which is the correct way to prepare pasta, and there were a variety of sauces available for those who might want to change up the menu selections. I have absolutely no idea what these folks were talking about when they mentioned specifics available on the menu that they found wanting. Reading their criticisms, It was like they went to a different establishment. Whatever the disconnect, there is no question that Danielle's is a cut above most restaurants and well worth the extra price. If one wants food that tastes like the old country, then one has to pay a bit more for the experience when here in the US.

    Always great food, cocktails, service and setting. We recommend regularly to all who we know.read more

The rest of the food was just underwhelming. The four seasons salad was okay but not memorable. The crab-stuffed shrimp linguine was also just okay, nothing special. The chicken piccata was overpowered by lemon and had not much flavor. The veal marsala risotto was dry, bland and forgettable. The portions were just right. Service could have been better. It was a little slow and did not feel warm or welcoming. Considering the hype and prices, the experience did not meet our expectations. None of us really enjoyed the meal. For us, it is a one-and-done.

While she liked the flavor, the fact that the ham was a full slice (lunchmeat style), as opposed to chunks or cubes, was weird...and required cutting with a knife. The other daughter tried the quiche for the first time and loved it. It is one of the better quiches around. Coffee is very good as well. Service was fine for the most part.

I settle in with my book, order the Thai calamari (which has the perfect punch of flavor), and wait for the 9pm special--$0.99 oysters until close on Fridays and Saturdays. Such a steal. The servers are always great, but Chris really stands out--attentive, kind, and totally gets the vibe of letting me relax and enjoy my drink and my book. I also came during Denver Restaurant Week and did their 3-course menu: calamari (obviously), the sea bass (which surprised me in the best way), and the blood orange olive oil cake... WOW.
