Hidden gem to say the least, every time I go the service is incredible and the food is even better. 11/10

I don't really know how to say how much I absolutely adore this place. All you can eat including everything on their menu, it is truly a happy place of mine. Every single dish is delicious from their gyoza to all their many rolls - I am also a huge Ghibli fan and this place is so cute in atmosphere. All the servers and chefs are super kind and they are also very fast! You have to try Sushi Totoro, being someone who has been to many different sushi restaurants in CO, this is in my top 3. read more

It was good but some food is burnt but only on some parts still recommend for the good flavor try for yourself. I've came here since I was a kid and I still do the service is medium not bad but not good. Most of the food is cooked well and that's all that has to be said. read more

Didn't have good experience today at this place. The server, the guy with pony tail, glasses, and earrings, was extremely rude. Didn't do eye contact, smile or attentive to our order. This place is going down hill. The sushi were so so. I should go back to sushi Katsu again !! read more

The worst sushi I ever had. Basically they don't know how to make sushi at all! Rice was undercooked and sashimi was way too thin. Bad food ever! read more

Usually you go to a place to have a nice relaxing dinner and good service. Now i'm not talking great service but good. Now with this place i was waited on by a woman by the name of seungheon lee or at least thats what it says on my check. Her service was very poor for my first time to this particular ayce typically they will ask if its your first time and if you had any questions about how it works. This was not the case, i spent about 10-12 minutes waiting for a waiter to show up, was not greeted or "told we will be right with you", none of that even though she passed by me about 5 times helping a few other people. When she did finally come from behind the counter, she asked if i wanted a drink and i said an asahi and had to say it about three times before i just pointed at it and then she literally said the same thing i had been saying the whole time. Ok, maybe just a language barrier. I'll take that. So i order my food using the sheet and i ask her, "it says 5-8 pieces what rolls are 5?" She responds, "i dont know". Im confused at this point because how can you work at a place and bot know what you serve and how? Ok no worries, im part way finished with my meal and she finally brings another sheet for me to fill out for her. I do just that, fill it out with what i want and lay it back down on the table. As she comes back a few minutes alter with the check and says "you dont want anymore right!" Before i can answer she drops the check at the table and bee lines it to the next table. With my mouth stuffed with rice i am shocked that she literally didnt even wait for a response before pretty much kicking me out. Hahaha i will never return here again, after observing how she treated other patrons i have to believe either she is slightly against spiderman (the shirt i was wearing) or has some other issues with me. So being forced out i grabbed the check and went to check out. Now i must admit even in the most awful situations i typically tip 20-30% but this evening i was not about to tip someone that literally did not take the time to help me nor have respect for me as a patron. Hope you all find this helpful when determining where you go eat. read more

I will not be returning. I heard good things so I tried it out but I was not impressed. I got egg rolls and they brought them out with a sauce on it and the menu did not describe that there would be a sauce. So I asked the waitress what it was and if it had any dyes in it (I can't have artificial dyes.) She looked really confused and was like "no?...." and treated me like I was stupid. Then I ordered a crab roll but asked for them to only use the soft shell crab and leave the imitation crab out (since it usually has dyes). The waitress was again really confused and rude about this request. My mom ordered a shrimp tempura roll and they brought her salmon tempura. When we told them about it, they offered 20% off our bill but honestly, I feel like her roll should've been free because it was wrong, we both don't like salmon, and so it was uneaten after we both had a bite and realized it was off. Also, there was a roll that we were okay with, but when I pointed out that something was wrong, a waiter took the food back to the chef, then up front to our waitress, then back to us. Like, he parading our food all around the restaurant and just thought we'd still eat it? Gross lol. My mom didn't even tip , which honestly I feel bad about, but... the waitress was rude. (And I hope this doesn't come off as wrong, but our waitress was white and spoke perfect English so it wasn't just a misunderstanding through language barrier) read more

I always take my friends & family here for the all you can eat sushi. Nothing like this place besides its sister restaurant, Sushi Train, where it's the exact same menu & all you can eat! Love love love love it & never too crowded! read more

VERY rude staff. We asked for our check before we were done eating, and the waitress told us we could not have our check until we finish our food. We only had 3 pathetic pieces left. Pick your battles, people. read more

Sushi Totoro - What we had left that they were insisting that we finish, or they will charge us. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

Lunch today was $21.99. I was told that was for ages 10 and up. With three sodas total was $96.96. This is mediocre to decent nigiri. Rolls were fine. Service was also fine but completely characterless. Our server was not pleasant and was not unpleasant. A solid three star experience. Overall feeling was this was too expensive for what it was. I wish the sushi had more flavor read more

All you can eat.. it wasn't the worst.. lol Some of the sushi was fishy. The rolls were not very good. The nigiri were so tiny. Half the size of regular sushi. The worst ting was the mushrooms-woof! All on all the service was great. Clean atmosphere. When my daughter wants to eat all you can eat sushi- we will be back.. read more

Super fresh, delicious food! Reasonably priced. I ordered takeout multiple times while COVID restrictions were in place. All orders were made on time and well packaged. read more

Sushi Totoro - Fried California Roll California Roll Nuggets Roll Beef Lover Roll Rockies Roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

Really good all you can eat sushi! Our families favorite spot. Everyone is kind and friendly, we get greeted by the chefs when we walk by to get seated and it feels nice, like we're family. read more

If you know anything about good quality fish. This is not the place! I couldn't even eat my tuna roll, normally it's be a piece of fish it was about 6 or 7 very small individual pieces looked like scraps, and tasted like it too. Not fresh. You can tell the tuna is frozen and not good quality. They do an awesome job with Togo bags, and the way they pack everything, but I'm sorry everything I had chicken teriyaki, beef teriyaki, tuna roll California roll and two other specialty rolls my girlfriend had, none of which was good. read more

Not very good. Most of the rice in the all you can eat rolls fall apart as soon as you pick them up. $30 for all you can eat isn't worth it at all. Service is ok! read more

I've only been here once and it was for take out. I'm giving 4 stars on a take out because my sushi was really warm and falling apart when i got it. I could tell it had been sitting there for a while. I will try again tho cause the atmosphere in the restaurant looks lovely and the sushi was still good although warm. read more

One of my favorite sushi joints in the area. Definitely recommend trying if your a sushi lover.

Service was fine, but food was intolerable and borderline disgusting. In a nigiri, they put way too much rice which was tasteless, with super thin slice of fish over it. Wasabi looked like it was really old and sat in the fridge for days when they served it to us. The hot food options were just salty with no flavor. Never been disgusted with sushi before, and this was the first. I was hesitant to bring up the horrible food to the server cus I knew it wasn't their fault, but the food wasn't worth my money. I'll never come back again. read more

Amazing man taking people in as well as my order felt very welcomed just help me understand why this beef is discolored and none of the rest was read more

All you can eat sushi for under $20 and is was good! What's not to like? The people working here were really nice too

Excellent service and a wide range of things to choose from. The sushi was prepared in advance, but with "all you can eat" that's expected. Overall my wife and I really enjoyed the experience. read more

This was the most incredible restaurant ever. The vibes are immaculate and food is just so delish. I want to live in this place. I made the picture of the sushi my background to remeber this glorious sushi. read more

My go to spot for AUCE sushi in the Aurora area. Prices are unmatched, service is great, there's a wide variety of rolls. The Kama is really good if they have it in stock. Fresh rolls and great service. This place is always packed weekday or weekend! Go support this local business! Their to go system is also really great! read more

Great service! Mind that they keep the restaurant cold! My personal favorites are the Fried California Roll, Nigiri Sushi: seared spicy tuna. I recommend eating all you can eat as you will save a lot of money unless you're just getting a couple of rolls. They tend to seat quickly too! read more

So cute! Totoro themed and I knew we'd have a good experience when we walked in and it was packed. They have an all you can eat option, but we ordered a la carte. Their spicy edamame is delish and they have such a good selection of specialty rolls that it was hard to pick! While everything is delish and I don't think you can go wrong, we loved the avalanche roll. If you live in the area, this place is a must try! read more

Standard AYCE sushi place. This place is definitely good when you want to get your sushi fix or if you want to be adventurous and try a bunch of new rolls but if you're looking for top quality pieces of fish or service, best to go somewhere without the AYCE option (you can order regular menu items here without doing AYCE). We came here on a Friday night and sat in the general dining area which we never tend to do at sushi places, I really dig sitting at the counter and getting the sushi bar experience plus I have found the service to be better there. Unfortunately the sushi bar at Sushi Totoro is in direct line with the door so any time the open or closes, you feel a big rush of air coming in. Service was spotty, our server took my order but never put it in so my husband got all of his stuff while I just picked off of his until we could flag our girl down. Thankfully another lady started taking care of us and she was on the ball with everything. You really can't go wrong with tempura, seaweed salad, nigiri and a specialty roll or two. Be sure to note that you don't want a lot of sauce on the rolls if they come with it as they tend to go a little crazy with the sauce. Regardless, I will be back again when I want to get my sushi fix close to home. This is a great place for sushi beginners or large groups as they have some private dining areas in the back. read more

I've been here many times and the food is always excellent. They have many delicious rolls!

This place is soo Delicious I've been here for a hour and it fills like 10 minutes I can't eat a plate without getting full i recommend this 10/10 read more

The food was decent but the service was terrible, the older waitress with the newly tattooed eyebrows was horrible. She literally ignored our table and left us wait for at least 25 mins before checking in on us, then had a rudeness to her. There's definitely better sushi spots in the area, with better service! read more

All you can eat sushi...you dare challenge me...I accept. $24.95 for a sushi dinner, with a great selection of nigiri, this excites me. They have all the nigiri you would expect, and a variety of rolls that kept the meal interesting. The Totoro roll was exquisite, of course with deep fried spicy tuna, yellowtail, and salmon, how can you go wrong? The seafood dynamite was...well dynamite. This, plus an awesome beer selection made for a fantastic experience. The restaurant itself was pristine. The artwork on the walls adds to the fun environment, and the service was alarmingly pleasant and prompt. I am accustomed to waiting for some time between ordering sushi, and it being delivered (sorry Sushi Katsu), but speed and efficiency seem to be of the utmost importance here...or was it the customer service? Either way, they excel in both areas. The wait staff was on the prowl for anyone without food and drink on the table at all times, and was quick to offer suggestions as to what was best on the menu. I will be back, often. read more

Let me begin by saying I am an experienced sushi enjoyer, a Sushi Katsu regular for over 10 years and an aurora native. Not that ANY of this matters, as this is Yelp and I am not a food critic, but what the hell, you're reading it. :) My family received a coupon in the mail from Totoro. Seasoned veterans of Katsu, of course we were wary, as Hana Sushi across the street was a major disappointment, so we never trust new sushi places. Then we start seeing the reviews pour in online on Google and on Yelp. Okay, fine, our interest is peaked, let's try them out. It took us 2 minutes from the driveway to their restaurant. Already, the location is great. The lobby was quiet and clean. A little sparse in decor but we like that. We don't like when restaurants are IN YOUR FACE with art and vases and fake plants and awkward light fixtures and the like. Simple is sometimes better. The service was fast and friendly, and the rolls were some of the best tasting sushi rolls I've ever had, and that's saying a lot since I've had everything on the menu at Katsu, not to mention I've been to like a thousand sushi restaurants in my life. The rolls at Totoro are Colorado-themed, so they have names like the E-470, Nuggets Roll, Broncos Roll and (my personal favorite) the Rockies roll. The plating is very classy so naturally, I scarfed them down so fast I'm sure I gave the sushi chefs a run for their money. The wasabi was a lighter green color than I am used to seeing, but BOY DOES IT BITE! I was very pleased to have my ass handed to me. The ginger was nice and crisp and they were very generous when we asked for more. I have two complaints though, but not enough to warrant removing a star. One thing is the hand soap in the bathroom. It smells like dish soap and I don't use dish soap on my hands normally because it dries my skin out, so please Totoro, replace that? Also, I would like to see some kind of happy hour or drink deal. I did not order alcohol for that reason, so it would be nice to see, but I understand if you are waiting until you get busier. It's a bonus that an actual Japanese family runs the place. My mother (an American USAF veteran) was stationed at Misowa in the 80's, which is where the owner is from! Small world! Saori was super sweet and very attentive. We can't wait to come back. Even writing this review makes me want to go back there! I kind of don't want the word to get out about this place because then they will become too busy for us to waltz into last minute, but that would be selfish and I want to share the better businesses of Denver with the world. :) let's support this business and give them a try! read more

Another all-you-can-eat sushi for $24.99 (dinner price) in Aurora?? and they have Totoro decor?? Of course I had to visit. The decor is nicely done with Totoro hanging out with you while you eat your sushi. They even have Totoro on their chopstick wrapper. However, I think it is still a work in progress. Our server was very attentive and answered any questions we had about the menu. They started off with a complimentary appetizer with deep fried avocado and crab, It was light and very good for a starter. We ended up ordering the ramen (just to try it since I have been on the hunt for a nearby ramen place) miso soup, seaweed salad, cucumber salad, spicy and non spicy scallop(spicy scallop has a dollop of siracha), tuna, white tuna, super white tuna,fish roe, country roll, rainbow roll, and totoro roll. I was very impressed by their scallops, they were very smooth with a hint of sweetness and overall tasted very good. Otherwise I really liked the tuna , totoro roll and rainbow roll. The other stuff I can't really bring myself to order again. This isn't a horrible place considering it was all you can eat, and I think I would come back to try some of their other specialty rolls. If you're itching for really good overall nigiri or sashemi, I don't know that I could recommend this place for that though. read more

Love it! This place is sugoi and I'm not just saying that because Totoro is one of my favorite anime characters, EVER! The food speaks for itself. I suggest going with the all you can eat deal at $25 a person. Even though the nigiri is small, you can eat all you want for one low price. You also get a complimentary Monkey Brains appetizer which is absolutely delicious. My friend and I both did AYCE and ordered the following x 2: Ramen Chicken teriyaki Nigiri: Shiro maguro, maguro, ono, tamago, tako, scallop, seared tuna Gyoza Xmas roll - tempura shrimp, cucumber topped with tuna, tai, avocado, tobiko Totoro roll - deep fried spicy tuna, yellowtail, salmon, cucumber Beef Lover's roll - beef teriyaki, jalapeno, cream cheese, deep fried Shrimp tempura roll Oishi! The fish tasted fresh and came out in good time. I didn't care much for the ramen broth, but the noodles were done perfectly. The gyoza and chicken teriyaki both had really good flavor. I wish I had room in my stomach to order mochi ice cream, but we barely finished what we ordered. They charge $0.50 for each left over piece including rice, so make sure you only order what you can finish. The service was excellent and very friendly. They do offer a big selection of other specialty rolls that I'd love to try on my next visit. I loved the Totoro decor and they even had his face on the chopstick wrapper! read more

My go to AYCE sushi place near Denver. I recommend the dinner menu versus the lunch menu. This place has not let me down.

We love coming here for date night. And I tend to sneak in for the all you can eat lunch sushi... It's our favorite sushi spot.

Was excited to find a restaurant designed with one of my favorite Miyazaki films. They have a couple of murals on the wall which are cute and fun to see. The menu, menu items, decorations, and even the chopstick casing had Totoro themes. Went there for the all you can eat sushi and they have quite a big selection of sushi, nigiri, and appetizers to make the price worth it. As for the food, I was a little disappointed. The miso soup was lacking flavor. They put an odd lemony sauce on a few of the sushi's and nigiri that wasn't too appetizing. We received a complimentary "monkey brain" appetizer which was pretty good! The fish wasn't as good as I've found else where in Denver. Even other all you can sushi places near by, would be considered better quality than this one. After not being too impressed with the items I got, I sadly didn't go and try the Totoro sushi roll. The novelty of the restaurant was fun enough to go once, even if the food isn't that great. They were oddly playing sports on the tv on the restaurant. It's understandable, but just an odd choice for a themed restaurant. I probably won't be returning, but happy that I went and tried it out. read more

Loved it. Like it better than Sushi Katsu. Waiters and host were sweet. Daughter enjoyed it so that's really all that matters.

Horrible service!!! My wife, daughter and I went fir dinner tonight, and it was ridiculous in that joint. Slow, so shoulda been easy. My wife and daughters food came out fast as hell, and I waited 30 more minutes for mine, and no food. I asked about it, and the entire staff knew nothing of my order. Long story short, I had to take my food to go. Add insult, they tossed in a free side salad for my troubles. Ridiculous, and I was warned about this place and still have em a shot read more

Really dank sushi. All you can eat lunch special is $14.99 (open until 2:45) Stuff your face. Enjoy the wholesome atmosphere. You'll enjoy it. read more
