    Sushi and sashimi lunch
    Lindsey K.

    My favorite neighborhood sushi place. Usually come here for hh or lunch specials which are a great deal. Staff are always efficient and the spot is convenient on Tennyson. Grab a table by the street to people watch or at the sushi bar to chef watch.

    Cheap sushi, it's good for the low prices but definitely isn't gourmet. Restaurant was totally empty when I stopped here for lunch after a walk through the Highlands. Service was a little slow. We all had the lunch special with 3 sushi rolls, soup, and salad. I was not a fan of the salad dressing though. Definitely works in a pinch! I wouldn't go out of my way to come back by any means.

    We had the lunch special today and it was a great deal. $15 for LOTS of food, including the sushi, salad, and soup. The servers are always so nice here, and the experience is always great. This is a cute little place located on the very fun Tennyson Street. Good stop to make if in the area. I only give it a 4 because I think they could up the atmosphere a little and perhaps have a few more specials during the week, but it is like a 4.4 and rounding down. Definitely recommend and see you there.

    Cucumber Roll, nigiri, portobello and eggplant sushi.
    Adrienne B.

    Stopped in for a quick lunch break on Monday while finishing up moving. They have lunch specials that looked interesting but there weren't a lot of veggie rolls that looked appealing because I can't digest avocado and veggie sushi options are less common. I got a cucumber roll and some of the veggie sushi the nigri, mushroom and eggplant. I would love to see more options but these were pretty good and made a nice light lunch for a hot day. The service was very good and the food was prepared well. Veggies are less expensive than fish but just these four small items made with simple ingredients were $20. However the lunch specials did seem to be a better value cost wise. I would probably choose from those next time.

    Possibly one of the worst sushis I've ever tasted which is a real shame because the service and presentation was wonderful. But despite a good exterior impression, turns out it really is the inside that counts and even though salmon sashimi is my favorite, turns out they only had smoked salmon that you can buy from Costco for your bagel except it was a trillion times saltier than I expected. I have nothing against smoked salmon, but I expect sushi salmon when I go to a sushi restaurant. Ever had a mega salty Philadelphia roll? This is the place to go for that. I've never been so disappointed. The rest of the rolls were either flavorless or unmemorable.

    Great place to grab economical sushi. It's not high quality. Service is meh. For the price and portion you get it serves its place Grabbed a crunchy dinner set ($20). Which came with more than enough food. Soup, salad and 20 pieces of sushi. We also grabbed two other rolls black dragon and something else. Again flavors are meh but it gets the job done! I would not say this is the freshest sushi. You're land locked in Colorado what else do you expect ? Lower your expectations and you'll be happy you stopped by

    Spicy Crispy Tuna

    I love this place! It doesn't look like much from the outside but it's so cozy inside! The Spicy Crispy Tuna is to die for! Give this place a shot for sure! They can be hit or miss but that's like any place.

    Do not order take out from here. It's my birthday and their menu looked so good! Around 7:30pm I ordered $70 of takeout and when the driver arrived to pick it up they stated they made it already and the food was picked up earlier. This is false. They were just trying to close early tonight it seems.

    Happy hour rolls
    Aaron A.

    Good sushi and decent happy hour. Service is always good and staff is very pleasant. Nothing wows me about this place unfortunately. I want to like it so much because the service really is top notch and the ambiance is good, but the food is what I would expect from a sushi bar, nothing more. Happy hour is a dollar off regular rolls, which makes the California Roll Price Index comparison somewhat favorable at $4.50. The rolls are slightly on the smaller side, but they are not rice heavy, which I appreciate. I haven't had their nigiri, primarily because I think it is a little overpriced and really good nigiri is hard to come by in Denver. Definitely worth going to, but I'd only go back if I was in the area, like I happened to be this time around. There are many better valued sushi restaurants all over Denver imo.

He immediately suggested Sushi Den off Pearl as the go to spot. We had eaten at Temaki Den several times which is one of my favs when I visit. So I was all in. It did NOT dissapoint. Not only was the sushi top quality, but they had a wild selection of unique fish, and approaches to classic combos. We had some amazing Sake to pair with it. 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!!

Plus I got miso soup AND a salad! Pricy, but totally worth it for a Father's Day celebration. Gotta get back here when I can! Lastly, they have their own soy sauce, less salty, more flavorful, puts both Kikoman types to shame!

    To celebrate our anniversary, we decided to come to Temaki Den and it did not disappoint (the hype…read moremakes a lot of sense). 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.
