    Salmon Bowl
    Brionta P.

    While visiting Denver for work the staff order lunch for us today and it was Tokyo Joe's. Asian food will forever be my go to regardless of what city I am in. So as a group decided to try Tokyo Joe's. after looking over the menu I felt the place had some potential. I liked that they have plenty of options especially for vegetarians and pescatarian, so I was in heaven. So, to start the food is subpar at best but I'm going to be honest I didn't set the bar too high. I order the build your own salmon bowl with brown rice, broccoli, zucchini, sesame seeds, spicy-aki and its edible, I probably wouldn't double back if I'm being truthful. It wasn't that it wasn't good just not... flavorful a little (A LOT) it was kind of on the bland side. The salmon was.... tasteless. and WELL a co-worker and I was debating if it was chicken from its appearance. The zucchini looked like cucumbers, like they might've been steamed. I don't know but I for sure picked over them. the broccoli was borderline raw. the sauce had no spice whatsoever! I don't know my colleagues seemed to have liked it but me on the other hand practically skipped lunch. I think if that invest a little more into purchasing quality ingredients and adding the flavor Asian food is known for they might be on to something.

    I've been going to Tokyo Joes locations for 20 solid years and have been to pretty much all of their locations during my work travel around the state. This was my first visit to this location and probably the worst visit I've had anywhere. The place was virtually empty when I stopped in. The steak was cooked rare - I've never had it served like that before and asked them to throw it back on the grill -which they agreed to do. The tables were dirty, the floor under the table was filthy, the sauce and spice on the table were almost empty as were the juice dispensers. The floor in front of the drink dispensers was, you guessed it, filthy. There was plenty of staff and lots of cleaning that needed to be done and there was none of that going on. Pretty sad place.

    I've been going to Sushi Aji for years. From the moment you…read morewalk in the door you are treated with first class service with a smile. The place is always clean and the food rivals Sushi restaurants from Manhattan to San Francisco and LA, the quality is truly coastal. The atmosphere is also relaxing. Katie and Sean buy the highest quality seafood and we are always so happy with our meal. The ambience is friendly and inviting. It will become one of your go-to places! Grade: A+ Recommend!

    Honey, before I begin this culinary TED Talk, let me explain why this glamazon even sashayed…read morethrough the door. I kept hearing whispers. Rave reviews. Local legends. So naturally I showed up to investigate with my appetite, my unrealistic and dramatic standards, and the emotional support personality of someone who writes sonnets about raw fish. I'm not here for dinner. I'm here for an experience. Possibly emotional closure. I adore sushi. Which means my expectations, even in a landlocked state, are higher than my credit card balance. The restaurant itself? Oh, she's that mysterious queen tucked into a strip mall like she's avoiding her ex. Tiny. Moody. Dimly lit. The kind of place you almost don't want to review because selfishly, you NEED your favorite table available. Reservations, darling. Don't test fate. This hidden gem has officially been outed. When the sushi arrives, it arrives it not on some precious little plate. On a giant wooden cutting board fit for a king, or queen (wink). Sharing is caring. Unless you touch my last piece. Then all bets are off sweetie. The service? Fabulous. My waiter, (only went by S on the receipt...odd) mastered the ancient art of appearing exactly when needed and vanishing before becoming part of the conversation. Attentive without hovering. Give that man an Emmy. I ordered the Red Dragon Roll:Salmon, yellowtail, and avocado tucked inside...then crowned with tuna, jalapeño, and sriracha. Now let's discuss Miss Thing. The slices were thick. THICK. Like that gorgeous hottie you deny eyeing. Decadent. Chewy. Gorgeous. My only complaint? Girl, my mouth did not sign the consent form. I tried to be elegant. One dainty bite. Then the entire roll exploded like it had unresolved family issues. Halfway through I abandoned etiquette and accepted that looking cute was no longer on today's agenda. The salmon? Baby, If salmon tastes like it has unresolved trauma from three Tuesdays ago, I'm calling the authorities. THIS salmon? Fresh enough to still have opinions. It practically looked at me and said,Girrrrrrll, did you see what that tuna was wearing? That's exactly the level of freshness I want. Now, the rice. Rice is the structural engineering of the sushi. It should faithfully escort my sushi all the way to my mouth before gracefully retiring from public service. Mine only fell apart because those glorious salmon slabs required a jaw unhinge worthy of a python. So today, the rice has been pardoned. Knife work? Every slice looked intentional. Like someone whispered apologies to the blade before making each cut. Were a few pieces larger than others? Maybe. But honestly, the only thing smaller than my patience is my mouth. (Side eye) How do I feel about Wasabi? Please don't flirt with me. Attack me. I want enough wasabi to make me briefly question every life decision that led me into this restaurant. I want polite volcano energy. Like finding a lit firecracker in your sock drawer while someone calmly says, Enjoy! Presentation? Listen...Everyone online wants tiny edible flowers with tragic backstories and microgreens raised by monks. This restaurant said, no. Here's your beautiful sushi. On a massive communal cutting board. Figure it out. Honestly? Kind of iconic. The sauces also deserve applause. Nothing was drowning beneath an avalanche of spicy mayo and eel sauce. Because once every roll tastes like sauce... Congratulations. You've invented sushi-flavored ranch. Creativity is wonderful. Restraint is sexier. How was the cleanliness? EXCUSE ME. This place was immaculate. I'm convinced tiny sushi ninjas silently materialize every few minutes to eliminate fingerprints before they even happen. Not one sticky soy sauce bottle. Not one questionable table. Not one crumb living rent free. Ten out of ten. No notes. And the sushi chefs Calm.Focused. Mysterious. Absolutely looked like they've silently judged forty thousand chopstick techniques and still wake up disappointed in humanity. Next visit I'm ordering the nigiri. If the chef hands it to me with one solemn nod like they're entrusting me with ancient forbidden knowledge, I'm legally obligated to cry. Finally... The bill. Expensive sushi? Perfectly acceptable. This place actually felt refreshingly reasonable. Because my personal rule remains undefeated: If six pieces of salmon cost the same as my monthly car payment... That salmon better know my name, my zodiac sign, and ask how my mother is doing. Final Verdict: Hidden gem? Absolutely. Fantastic fish.Great service. Immaculate restaurant. Generous portions.Zero gimmicks. Just excellent sushi quietly minding its own business. Five fish flips out of five. Now excuse me while I make another reservation before the rest of y'all ruin my favorite table.

They do charge a bit more than your typical AYCE sushi spot, but the quality absolutely justifies it. The rolls are beautifully balanced -- fish, avocado, rice, everything in harmony -- and I was impressed that hardly any of them relied on imitation crab as filler, which is something I see far too often elsewhere. The sashimi and nigiri selection is excellent as well, and personally, I gravitated toward the sashimi to avoid the carb overload that comes with nigiri. I was also pleasantly surprised that there was no wait. The restaurant is spacious, and our server was incredibly attentive. She walked us through the process and the rules, making the whole experience feel easy and welcoming. The rolls themselves were fantastic -- thoughtfully crafted and delicious. I especially enjoyed the Naruto roll, wrapped in cucumber instead of rice, which was a refreshing change. We ordered about five rolls, including the Naruto roll, plus crab wontons, sashimi, and dessert, and I can confidently say we got our money's worth. I highly recommend this place.

First thing I noticed is that it's very clean and the decor is very pleasing to the eye. The menu is extensive and finely detailed. It was really hard to narrow down the choices to just a few.
