The sushi was okay. The teriyaki chicken looked amazing!! We went in on a Tuesday evening--it wasn't very busy and there were only two waitresses. If we needed anything, we had to wave them over, and when it came time to pay we just went up to the bar to pay because it seemed we were forgotten. Other than that, the atmosphere is pretty cool! read more

Our favorite sushi place in the area and in my opinion the only decent one. They are very nice here too and when Toast is closed there is usually pretty good parking. Try the kobe beef roll, if you don't like raw meats. They have a gorgeous salt water fish tank here that will distract your kiddo so you can have a nice meal. read more

My husband and I love this place. It's our little place we go for special occasions and romantic nights. I haven't had a roll I haven't loved. The wait staff is great and polite. The decor is simple and a little out of place, but they do have some interesting art on the walls but I go for the food and good service not the decor. If your a person that needs nice decor this would be a good place to takeout from. Just a tip. read more

They are my favorite sushi restaurant by far. Everything is always excellent. The Mexican Roll is my favorite.

Great service. The food was wonderful too. The server was great with our kiddos but even more exceptional was the family sitting a couple tables down who had a kiddo that was a bit noisy. He was probably 12-18mos old and the server was playing peekaboo and looking for ways to engage the kiddo kindly. Again the food was great but have to point out the exceptional service not only at our table but at the table down from us too! Great job to the team on staff tonight. read more

Really good creative rolls. Great neighborhood location without having to travel. We are always pleasantly surprised, and never disappointed by the chef's specials. On the regular menu, try the wasabi roll, but again, always get a chef's special. read more

Sushi Basho - A plate of deliciousness - Sushi Bars Near Me - Littleton, Colorado

Quick Lunch I was in a hurry so I stopped in to have a quick healthy lunch. I got one of their lunch combos that came with six pieces of sushi and four pieces shashimi I think. I was surprised that it also came with a salad and a small soup. The quality was excellent and they were very fast so I will certainly be back. read more

This was my first time eating sushi. I was pleasantly surprised and quickly addicted. The quality of the sushi was excellent. Super fresh and so very tasty. We sat at the sushi bar so we were able to watch everything be prepared. The chefs were so friendly and skilled at what they were doing. They were great to answer any questions we had. So interesting to watch them do their magic! We had a large variety of sushi. My favorite was the hot dragon roll, shrimp tempura and Californian roll. The yellow fine tuna was excellent and the octopus was amazing as well. The restaurant was clean and such a nice atmosphere. The service we received was excellent as well. I had 2 lemon drop cocktails that were perfection. I will be back. I recommend this place to anyone and everyone. If you aren't into sushi, they have a large menu of other Japanese food as well. Next time, I will save room for the green tea ice cream. I woke up craving this sushi this morning. read more

I have been on the hunt for a new go-to sushi place for YEARS and finally found this gem. The quality is amazing. My orders are always delicious, prompt, and presented beautifully! I'll be recommending this place to everyone and anyone. read more

We have been here before and liked it because the pricing is fair. There is no ambiance, but if the sushi is good, who cares in a landlocked state ...right? Tonight we waited 1 hour for our order of sashimi dinner and 2 rolls. When we asked for the manager, we were told he doesn't speak English. Through translation, we were awarded 20% off our meal. Minimal at best in our opinion. read more

I can not say enough about this restaurant! They have amazing sushi!! Vegetarian options are slim BUT there are options. Very fresh and tasty sashimi. I had the white tuna sashimi, udon soup, gyoza, and my boyfriend got the breaded pork with rice. Phenomenal!! I haven't made it in for the happy hour yet but I will be returning. Service is quick and my food always comes out the perfect temperature (sashimi/hot plates) and delicious! This place is a hidden gem, do not pass up the chance to dine here and be blown away. read more

I really enjoyed this place. Really good food and great service. Will be heading back to this spot soon

I was lead here while searching for sushi places in town that were AYCE. I'm new to the area and where I am from, AYCE sushi places are on every corner. I stopped by for lunch, and while disappointed to find out it didn't offer any kind of AYCE options, still decided to try it out for lunch. I picked a lunch special that came with three rolls, miso soup and a side salad. Miso soup and the salad came out first. The soup was hot and had lumps of tofu in it, but wasn't very savory. The salad was a normal iceberg lettuce based mix (the kind you could get bagged at the grocery store) and was tossed in a peanut based Asian sauce that was thin and watery. My rolls were smaller than the others I saw being made (a la carte options), but were good. I got a salmon skin, California roll, and another salmon-based roll. The rolls were nothing special, but were not bad in any sense - just average. For lunch and a drink, my bill came to around $15, which is not bad for a sushi lunch. read more

We used to love this place, but their most recent service means we won't be going back. We ordered online and showed up a little before they said our order would be ready (we ordered 45 minutes prior). After about 10 minutes, the host came back to ask for our name again. He admitted the order hadn't been given to the kitchen, and they were going to rush it. I watched the sushi kitchen send out order after order before starting ours. When we finally got our order it had been more than an hour since we ordered and 20 minutes since our order was supposed to be ready. When our order finally came up, they were extremely rude and barked our total at me. I was surprised, because from my time as a host and server, I would have at least apologized for the mix up. I asked if they were going to do anything because of the delay, and they said "we don't do that." Both of the hosts just walked away. Someone I assume was the manager came up to bark at me that people wait all the time, and nothing was wrong. I told her her host admitted that they had lost our order, and she just walked away. read more

Hands down the best sushi in Littleton! They have a huge menu and amazing sushi! Fresh and delicious! They also have delicious meals besides sushi. Every time I have guests in from out of town, this is one of our stops. read more

I've been here several times and I can't think of anything to complain about. The food is great. Service is usually really good. I love when we get sat next to the aquarium. On a side note, the green tea is kind of weird, not at all what you're probably used to and the cups they serve it in get so hot you can't really pick them up. Great local choice, so get out and support your neighborhood! read more

All I wanted was a decent sushi and Japanese dinner. Didn't even need anything spectacular or special. What I got was so below par I'm absolutely shocked that this place has decent reviews. I'm sorry, I feel bad giving this place such a low review but it was so gross. The sushi tasted like dog food. It was obviously old and just nasty. Worst meal out in a long time. Even worse, I'm pissed I paid so much for it. Damn. Wasted meal out. read more

The Tempura Lobster Roll is really really good. Awesome starter roll for someone who doesn't like raw fish. First time here and not the last

Don't even mess around with anything else. All these "hip", "intuitive", "I know all the best spots" people have no idea about this place! Keep going to your "favorite spots" while I enjoy the best sushi in town! read more

I love Sushi Basho. It's where my girlfriend and I ate for our first date, so it will always have a special place in my heart. I've been coming for years and always receive prompt, friendly service. Their rolls are almost always fantastic, and the lunch specials are killer for 2 rolls @ $9 or 3 rolls @ $11. The last time I went, I did have 1 issue: my unagi seemed to have a bone or something hard in it. I let me server know, and while they didn't try to offer me a comp, sake, or anything, I also understand that this can happen with unagi. All around, a great spot. Not the best sushi in Littleton by any means, but it's right on main street. Hard to beat that location! read more

Went here a Thursday night with out of town family and it did not disappoint. Sushi was fresh, beautiful and delicious. We also shared a seaweed salad that was yummy. My teenage son had just tried sushi the week prior and so this being his second official sushi dinner and he's hooked. I would just ask that this resaurant, like all restaurants besides sports bars, take down the big screen TV on the wall. It detracts from an otherwise pleasant atmosphere! read more

I've had fresher sushi. The sushi chefs were friendly enough, but the servers weren't. The saltwater tank has lovely anemones and coral, at least. It's the nearest sushi place to where I'm staying, but I probably won't return. read more

Came in for a lunch special when I was in the area. Pretty average. I thought the ginger dressing on the salad had a strange flavor that I couldn't quite put my finger on. The soup was pretty good and my sashimi wasn't anything out of the ordinary. Decent value for a $10ish dollar lunch, but not a place I would go out of my way to eat at again. read more

Ordered and my SO picked up. Generous portions and super yummy! Just moved to the area and happy to have found delicious, reasonable sushi so quickly. read more

Love this place. Fresh and delicious. I've been going to Basho for a while and most every time has been great. Fresh, tasty, and one of the better sushi places in town. There was a small stint last year (late summer / early fall '09) when it wasn't up to par. Right now they have a couple of great chefs and the sushi seems really fresh. Living in the south part of town I don't think there is a better place right now. They have a great selection of rolls, traditional dishes, and friendly / gracious staff. The bottom line is it's not flashy but the food is good. It's one of my favorites on the south side of town. read more

Great sushi and awesome service. This is how good it is-- I walked here in the snow instead of ordering DELIVERY from Rice. Jimmy is the head sushi chef and he is amazing. He always makes me exactly what I want. Jay is their best waiter as well. Always satisfied visiting the Basho. read more

I live and work nearby but never stopped in because the front looks like a gas station. Inside is much nicer, but it looks like they cobbled together furnishings (I counted 4 styles of hanging lamps; carpet plus odd shiny black flooring; unappealing tables and chairs). Service was very friendly, lots of upselling, though. Miso soup was bland and I tasted of onion all night (presumably onion in the soup because we then ate only plain sushi). Fish was cut very small but the sushi rice itself was not overly large. Our bill was surprisingly low. We kept saying "This isn't bad...and so convenient" but I won't likely return. Spend the extra time and money to go to a real sushi restaurant. read more

Amazing sushi. Highly recommended for takeout during the COVID-19 pandemic (and otherwise). They were taking every precaution to protect their staff & their patrons and they made the pickup process so easy and seamless. The sushi was phenomenal. I think the yummy roll may be our favorite sushi of all time now. read more

i just adore this place and am so glad to see the little parking lot full most nights! the happy hour is amazing (2 for 1 sake and $1 sushi) and it STARTS at 5 and goes (i think) all night. the fish is fresh, the rolls are interesting and the staff EXTREMELY friendly! try it, you'll like it! read more

My wife, son and I enjoyed a great meal at Sushi Basho. We were seated next to a large salt water fish tank with a number of colorful fish. We hoped the fish didn't mind us eating sushi. The restaurant was packed on a Saturday night. There was a large birthday party at a neighboring table. Yet, our food was delivered with amazing speed! Our waiter was quite personable as were the servers. The sushi seemed fresh and the beef and chicken tempura was more than enough to eat. Very good, we'll go back some day read more

My husband and I called and made a reservation for dinner at 7:30 on a Friday Night. When we arrived, we told the man, who barely pretended to notice us, that we had a reservation. He then proceeded to ask if we wanted to sit at the bar, I told him no we made a reservation and would like a table. He the proceeded to shrug his shoulders and said "Oh well, you'll just have to wait then". After this, he proceeded to speak ill about us to his coworker (I know this because I could understand what he was saying) We obviously left and found somewhere more accommodating and less judgmental. These people should learn how to accommodate their guests when they make a mistake instead of bad mouthing them in front if the entire restaurant. We will never go back there. read more

This is by far my favorite sushi place! As many reviewers have noted, its not the fanciest place so if you want to pay for the decor, go to Sushi Den. I personally like to pay for the food I eat so I come here. The fish is always very fresh and the rolls are innovative (see below). The hot sake is 2 for 1 and they also have great cold and flavored sakes. And the prices simply cannot be beat! The service can be mixed but is usually good. My husband and I sit at the bar and chat with the great chefs there. They are talented and friendly. The waitresses are also friendly but occassionally can be slow. We were just there last night and here what we had: Salmon sushi - melted like butter in my mouth. Spicy tuna roll - don't know what they put in their spicy rolls but wow, I just can't get enough. Such great flavor! Spicy shrimp roll - see above! Vegetable roll - great combo of asparagus and avocado. Sweet potato roll - if you haven't tried this you have to! Tempura sweet potato in a roll. Delicious with a great crunch. We always get this one! For Dessert Sweatheart roll - light, refreshing, our favorite way to end a meal. This is a spicy crab rolled in cucumber. Absolutely wonderful! Bonus, if you are sitting at the bar, you get to watch the chefs cut a cucumber into one long strip - amazing and something I won't be trying at home. We are so glad that this local gem is near us! read more

My husband and I love sushi and usually drive to Northeast Denver for it! we decided to try Sushi Basho because of the proximity. After ready the reviews on here, we decided it would probably be a great alternative to the drive. It was everything we expected! Price about the same at the one in Northeast, definetly the same about of selection, which is what we look for in a suhsi place. We will definetly return. Sushi rolls may seem on the smaller side, but they don't skimp on the fish. They don't use as much rice, which i like a lot! read more

Our go to place for sushi in the burbs. Good quality for the price, lunch special is great and always fast service.

Love this place, was discovered by my cousins a few years ago, and ever since they turned me on I can't get enough- The price is right and the sushi is pretty dang good too. Simon the host, well- he will never forget your name, unless you tell him to! well worth the drive to Littleton for a good roll, and fantastic green tea ice cream- YUMMMY!!!! read more

Pretty good food but service was testing. When we walked in there they weren't very busy. We were stoked about all day happy hour drink and sushi deals. I think our mistake was going in there hungry?! We sat there staring at our giant platter of sushi sitting at the sushi counter across the room for legitimately 15 mins before someone walked it across the room to drop it off. We were drooling by then. Wine refill took forever. Then they got busy and we couldn't flag anyone down to take our desert order. I was really excited about tempura green tea ice cream. But sadly we ultimately had to walk to the bar flag someone down to ask for our check and pay. Even then it took a solid 5 mins. I don't think anyone would've noticed if we just skipped on the bill and walked out that's how neglected we were by the end. Disappointing experience overall especially since the food was actually pretty good and well priced. read more

Sushi Basho has good sushi at great prices. We rarely have to wait for a table, but they consistently are busy. On our last visit we ate with a group of 6, our service was impeccable and the food came out quick. By no means is this the best sushi I've had, but if your looking for a quick fix with good prices, and great service this is the place. read more

I live across the street from Sushi Basho. I've been there 3 times, and have yet to find a roll i really love. Their standard rolls come really small and have very little fish with a lot of rice. The specials are scribbled on a white board, that is extremely hard to read. Service was slow and the ambiance leaves something to be desired. read more

Outstanding, from the rolls to the fish. Lunch and dinner prices are reasonable, edamame is plentiful and service is better than most sushi joints. read more

Their miso soup is really good. Great service. It's a pretty small place so they can give you extra attention and there isn't a wait. Good sushi! Will go back often! read more
