    Everything was delicious!
    Monica K.

    Wanted to get dinner a little outside of the main downtown areas and came across Sushi Bay 17. Beware that the parking lot next to the restaurant is not for customers. We found street parking nearby and walked over. We were sat immediately and given the menu to order. We ordered a bunch of rolls and a few other items. They make your order fresh, so it took some time to be delivered to our table, but it was worth the wait. My favorite was the toro! So delicious and fresh. Everything else was great as well (we mostly ordered tuna and yellowtail). If I'm ever in town again and need a sushi fix I know I will be popping into Sushi Bay 17!

    Not sure if my standards for sushi are high but sushi bay was not great. We got miso soup, crab wontons, hamachi app, 1 tempura roll, 4 nigiri and it was $50.. much rather go to a temaki den for the same price. The fish itself was not bad, but the rice was cold and just tasted like grocery store sushi. The crab wontons also probably one of the worst I've had. If they could figure out the rice then this place would be better.

    What a great sushi. Found this place as I was just exploring the city and I am glad I did. Ordered the Big time roll ( my favorite) and hangover roll. All great ones and I am eager to come back and explore the other ones.

    I was truly looking forward to some quality sushi based on the perfect 4-star review but this place failed to impress me unfortunately. Online order was easy to do. And even if you choose the payment method of credit card, it does not make you pay at the time of order; you can pay for it at the time of pick-up which I thought was nice (not that I didn't want to pay for it right then.) You can also pick "cash pay upon pick up". For this, they are really flexible. On a holiday (January 1st to be exact), not many restaurants were open so I certainly appreciated them for working hard to be open when the workers can take off and rest at home. I just needed several sushi (nigiri) pieces so I picked white tuna, albacore tuna, yellow tail and striped bass. Each one (two pieces) were $6. Not bad.... Upon arriving at the restaurant to pick it up, I was able to take a few photos outside. Parking lot (west side) has several spaces. I liked the wall art (mural) on the wall. "Irasshaimase" sign at the entrance was very nice. Upon entering, there was only one table seated by two men. There were a few others but they appeared to be waiting for their pickup orders. The restaurant is/was very simple but definitely clean. Quite roomy so the tables were not placed cramped together. If you walk over to the ladies room to the right of the sushi bar, you'll notice a door that has a sign says "karaoke room". The rate for an hour is $27. I wonder how roomy that is. I didn't bother to check it. One of the guys at the sushi bar who greeted me said they were out of striped bass so he asked me to pick something else that is/was at the same price ($6) so I picked salmon. My order was ready only a few minutes after he and I had conversed. When I opened the bag, all the sushi pieces were neatly lined up in a typical sushi container. They looked good at the first glance but the pieces were a pretty small. Salmon was the best tasting one out of all four. The red snapper was the most disappointing one as it was chewy and didn't taste fresh. Mmm....I'm not impressed... The overall experience wasn't horrible but is this a place I'd go back all the way from my northeast DTC home? I don't think so.... Well, at least I tried, right? I can only give this place a 3-star review.

    No mayo, brown lettuce
    Jennifer B.

    I don't know why I keep ordering from this place. Every time I eat it I say to myself I will never order from there again. I guess convenience as it's walkable to my apartment. But this time was really the last. The soup portion is half the size it used to be. I paid extra for spicy mayo and they gave me 1/100 of a container full... laughable really. The Boston roll was missing mayo and the lettuce was old. The rice was hard. The seaweed was stiff. I've had better grocery store sushi. Last time I ordered, the fish was smelly and slimy. The time before that, half went in the garbage. Never again.

    I have fond memories of Sushi Bay 17. My partner and I came here on a whim one weekday evening, and it was completely empty. We were immediately seated, and I ordered some delicious hot sake. We also placed an order for 3-4 sushi rolls, which were reasonably priced... as advertised on their website. Partially I think it's because the rolls have less ingredients and are thinner than other sushi places, but honestly I prefer being able to fit the sushi in my mouth. Some spots get so carried away with the size of their sushi rolls! Can't remember the names of what we got, but they were all filling. I'd definitely come here again, especially for their lunch specials. Or just easily order take-out through their website. Plus, I didn't realize there's a karaoke room in the back!? There's more to Sushi Bay 17 than meets the eye. Lots of mixed reviews on Yelp but worth trying in my opinion.

    This is by fav my favorite sushi spot in Denver, and I have tried a lot at this point. Their rolls are always incredible, the apps are great, I love their green salad as well. They're very flexible in letting you customize rolls if needed as well! They recently had a volcano roll as a special and it was AMAZING. They also have karaoke which is awesome and really affordable too!

    Great place from the comfortable chairs and booths to the clean environment full of natural light. Our host was super sweet and courteous. The lightly battered shrimp for the appetizer and fresh and perfectly sized sushi/rolls. We had the hot house sake flowing today, which we decided on adding the Raspberry liquor too and I'm super glad we did; Very delicious!! There is private parking along the side of the building, and if you're lucky enough, street parking may be available as well. Sushi Bay 17 is certainly a well deserved treat if you are in the area.

    Places is a solid 4 stars. We went in at lunch time around New Year's Day. They had just opened but the service was friendly and accommodating. We had planned on ordering off the lunch menu to save a few bucks. We ended up deciding to venture on our own. Everything was really good. The unagi was seared and hot. The Toro and the Toro roll were a hit. Overall a decent sushi experience. They do have Karaoke rooms, we didn't rent one but we were intrigued for next time we are in the area.

The server was outstanding and met us at our goofy level joking with us just the right amount. It's a beautiful restaurant with modern design and just casual enough where you don't feel like you have to be dressed to the 9's. Pearl street in general is very quaint and homey and walkable. I definitely recommend checking it out!!

We thought we made a mistake choosing sushi bar instead of a table because we'll have back issues. Surprisingly, the chairs had a mini back so you could lean back occasionally. And we think our experience was better because the sushi chefs would explain the origin of the fish and all the ingredients they used into each roll and order. We also got a complimentary piece for sitting at the sushi bar which was a light fried yellow tail which was so good. Service is amazing. They're attentive and check in on you often. It does take some time to get your rolls but give its time to digest. From watching the sushi chefs at the bar, they're very precise in how they make each roll. Every roll has similar proportions from the slight wasabi they use to the amount of rice and fish. Everything that we had was amazing. The hamachi and salmon sashimi felt like butter. It just melts in your mouth. The aged toro was so delicious. Even the edamame was just so good. The unagi nigiri is some of the best I've had in the state (the nigri was better than the handroll and I think it's because I love unagi so I love the ratio in nigiri form). The Spicy Tuna Oshizushi was a surprising favorite of the night along with the Crème Fresh Salmon Belly. I could've done without the wagyu but it was good. Every order does come with only 1 so order based on the amount of people that are with your party. Some items we were unsure of like the wagyu so we ordered 1 and shared a bite. Overall, I understand the hype and the reservations. But it was worth it and I'm surprised we can get high quality fish in a landlock state. Of the high end sushi restaurants in CO, Temaki Den is probably my fave.

    Uchi is dangerous for people like me…read more Not because of the raw fish. Because the place understands seduction. I've been eating at Uchi since it opened in Denver and today it still carries that same intoxicating balance of precision, warmth, swagger, and restraint. The room itself glows instead of shouts. Wood slats divide the dining room into little private theaters while the sushi counter hums with focused choreography. Expert hands moving constantly. Rice. Fish. Quiet communication. Tiny acts of discipline repeated hundreds of times a night. I sat down intending to have a civilized happy hour. That plan lasted maybe twelve minutes. The kurodai crudo arrived first. Gooseberry, leche de tigre, candied garlic. Bright, sharp, and alive. This is the kind of starter that wakes up your entire palate and you are reminded that you will absolutely be spending more money than originally intended. Next was the bincho temaki: cool albacore, kimchi, avocado, and a vividly garish orange sauce with some heat to keep the richness from becoming too much. Uchi understands something many restaurants don't: luxuriousness needs balance. Fatty fish without acid, spice, crunch, or brightness is palate exhaustion. And then one after another the deliciousness continued: the oysters were cold and perfect with cucumber, calamansi vinegar, and umeboshi. The day boat scallop nigiri nearly stopped time altogether. Just sweet scallops, rice, citrus, a little finishing salt. Incréable. Or whatever the French word is for "I briefly forgot my own name." And somewhere during martini number one, the staff adopted me. Apparently Uchi keeps notes on guests. Mine, I was told, says I'm "nice and a good eater," which may be the most flattering thing anyone has said to me in months. Suddenly more dishes started appearing. Gifted nigiri. Ikura glowing like little amber jewels (my favorite). A ridiculous and completely delicious carrot toro maki with green chili crunch and enough heat underneath the richness to make the whole thing flirt openly with your mouth. At one point the bartenders literally invented a "walu walu shot" on the fly just because the mood had drifted into improvisational chaos. This was somewhere between oyster shooter, seafood dare, and excellent bad decisions. Meanwhile, the guests next to me started talking to me and the entire energy of the evening shifted into communal sushi-bar joy. Suddenly we were all reacting to dishes, laughing, comparing bites, participating in the same ecosystem of salt, fish, alcohol, and temporary human connection. This is the real thing Uchi sells. Not merely sushi. Attention. Rhythm. Atmosphere. Memory. The feeling of being folded into a beautifully functioning machine dedicated entirely to pleasure. And yes, by the end I was emotional enough to remember being 20 years old eating sushi with an older woman named Alana who wore real fur and introduced me to this whole sensual adult world in the first place. That is what a martini and exceptional nigiri will do to a man. The final bill before tip was somehow only $141, which honestly feels mathematically impossible considering I briefly entered a spiritual relationship with the sushi counter. I tipped $50 because at that point we were basically family. Uchi remains one of the sexiest restaurants in Denver. Not performatively sexy. Not influencer sexy. Actually sexy. Confident. Observant. Generous. Precise. And just dangerous enough to make you order one more thing. Amazing dining experience.
