    Ever since our Great experience at Uchi Houston, been wanting to check out all of the Uchis. While the service was not as great (a bit slow and no complimentary dishes) as in Houston, we still had an excellent time. We ordered a lot, created our own 16 course menu, paired with a bottle of wine. Highlight for me was pairing Stolpman Uni (Uchi collaborated w Stolpman on the wine) with actual Uni; it was a perfect match. This is a high energy place with a lot of beautiful people. Great date spot. I was amazed how crowded and consistently busy this place was on a Monday evening. Bonus for us was that we found street parking!

    This place never disappoints.. I just love the food and the staff here. It doesn't matter what location of uchi we go to, they all are always the same and deliver amazing quality and service. Just love love them!

    Absolutely wonderful experience, Uchi has skyrocketed to the top of my restaurant experiences in Denver! I dined solo and sat at the sushi bar, which ended up being the best possible way to experience the restaurant. Jessie was my sushi chef and truly made the entire night, his recommendations were spot-on from start to finish. The ambiance in the restaurant is fantastic. The restaurant was packed even on a Sunday night, which really says something but I was still able to find street parking close by. I started with the Uchi gin and tonic which has the addition of yuzu cordial, and it was refreshing and bright without being overly sweet. They also have a great selection of Japanese whiskey and sake. The first dish I ordered was the Hama Chili which contained yellowtail, ponzu, Thai chili, and orange supreme. This was phenomenal. The balance of sweet and spicy was perfect and the dish felt incredibly fresh. When I asked Jessie for a recommendation, he suggested the Masu Crudo which had butternut squash curry, apple, and beet chips. This is something I never would have gravitated toward on my own, and it completely blew me away and it ended up being one of my favorite dishes of the night. Another standout was the Tanin Bune (sea urchin and salmon roe) which also wouldn't have been my first instinct to order, but Jessie so kindly gifted it as his favorite piece and I'm so glad he did because it was absolute perfection and one of the most memorable bites of the night. Everything about this experience felt very intentional, from the food to the service to the atmosphere. Sitting at the sushi bar made the night feel interactive and fun, even as a solo diner. Uchi is something really special, and I am already looking forward to coming back!

    Had a really positive experience at Uchi. The service stood out right away--our server was extremely knowledgeable about the menu and very attentive, especially when it came to checking for allergies, which I really appreciated. The menu is on the pricier side, but the quality and flavor of the food absolutely justify it. Everything we tried was fresh, thoughtfully prepared, and genuinely delicious. That said, the menu is very shareable. We dined with a group of six and ordered about 1-2 items per person, which worked well and allowed everyone to try a variety of dishes. The ambiance was great as well: a lively sushi bar area paired with plenty of table seating throughout the restaurant, making it feel both energetic and comfortable. Valet parking is an option, otherwise all street parking. Overall, Uchi delivered on food, service, and atmosphere. Definitely worth it for a special night out!

    Love the food here I live one hour away- but we decided to come back and try some other items since the food is truly delicious One thing to note is service is a bit slow if you add items as you eat, so I recommend ordering everything right away if you're on a "Time crunch" like we were with a baby at home Also note that it's not mentioned on gift cards but they don't let you stack them with any other dine in promotions regardless- quality of dishes are one of the best of Denver

    Uchi is perfection. Time after time, they grant customers with such an elite culinary experience full of fresh fish and delicious drinks. They're most famous for their happy hour, though my friend and I came for "regular dinner" last time. I also realized they have several other locations across the country - good for them! On this particular visit, we had the sea bream, yellowtail, kosho toro maki, mapo dofu, and mango tapioca. Everything was melt-in-your-mouth good and collectively filling - which is always a surprise. Think quality over quantity. Every visit is memorable, and I can't wait to go again. We always seem to have a gift card to use. Make sure you get a reservation!

    This Japanese restaurant in Rino has been on my bucket list for years. I made a reservation thru my OpenTable app for 4pm. Good thing. When I arrived I was in a group of 30 people waiting to enter. The sushi bar filled up quickly, so I got a table nearby. My server, Billy introduced himself. He said the regular menu was also available. I started with the seasonal spritz made with seadonal shrub, sparkling wine & vermouth. My first HH choice was Bincho Temaki, a hand roll with albacore & kimchi. It was served with a dipping sauce. I noticed no Tamara or soy sauce on the tables. Next was a half order from the regular menu of their Uchi salad. A creative version similar to a lettuce wrap with a daikon spear and a crunchy jalapeno-edamane and cashew pesto sauce. Yummy. I added the HH whitefish nuggets and the HH pork belly. Both very good. My next drink was a 2 oz pour of Mars Iwai "Tradition" whiskey. Billy asked if I wanted a big rock or cubes of ice. I opted for cubes. As the ice gradually melts, it softened the whiskey. I ordered the Spicy Crunchy Salmon, but Billy said the sushi bar was swamped and it would be 20 minutes. I went ahead and got more food including the Crispy Rice with Gyutoro. When the salmon roll arrived, it was smaller than expected for $16.50; I got the HH Tapioca pudding with a Ume Punch. So I went whole hog for this bucket list place. No service charge.

    Great sushi spot with creative takes on traditional sushi dishes. What doesn't bring it to 5 stars is that not many of the dishes rose to the level of "amazing" or even "memorable". We had a private dinner in their back room which fits about 20 people. It's nice because they have sliding glass doors which provide privacy but you can still see the restaurant. We had a 10 course meal with a variety of sushi, rolls, salad, cooked fish, sashimi, and meat. Some of the sushi was inventive and they managed the fishiness of fish like mackerel. Some of the sushi nigiri didn't quite pack a great amount of punch so they were good but forgettable. Some dishes really were unique like the salmon belly, the malu malu, and the wagyu. And the fried milk dessert was amazing. But again, from start to finish it was a little uneven. Service was fantastic and the drinks were very good. All in all we had a great time but it doesn't quite reach the level of the best of the best.

    One of the coolest spots I've been to in Denver. The decor, servers, plating, etc. make me feel like I'm in a different city in the best way. We went for happy hour (highly recommend) and tried their omakase. The happy hour omakase was a great deal, just make sure to go with someone else since it comes in sets of 2. The courses were well timed and our server was delightful. She made sure to explain each course and was incredibly attentive to drinks, timing, preferences, etc., even though it was incredibly busy. She even brought out some extra nigiri (scallop) when we mentioned we'd like as much seafood as possible, which turned out to be my favorite bite of the night! The drinks and meal itself to die for. I had a kocha drink, which was refreshing and light. For the omakase we started off with a lettuce, radish, and edamame salad, then moved onto hamachi sashimi, salmon roll, tuna collar, mapo tofu, salmon and yellowtail nigiri, pork chop, and scallop nigiri, ending the night with coconut tapioca. If I explained how thoroughly I enjoyed each dish, this review would be 20 pages long. I will say the meal was very balanced and had a great progression from lighter to heavier flavors, and each dish was devoured! There were combinations I wasn't expecting that I was delightfully surprised by. I was also SO incredibly full after so I wouldn't be concerned about portion size. Overall, will most definitely be coming back and bring friends/family here again too!

    I've known/dined at Uchi at their OG ATX location, then had it in Dallas (it worked out really well for a work trip with folks with food sensitivities and Uchi is super accommodating) and NOW enjoyed Uchi Denver! We sat at the bar for happy hour (daily 4pm - 6pm) but ended up basically eating a full meal because everything so was so delicious: *hama chili (yellowtail, ponzu, thai chili, orange supreme) - $11.5 on happy hour and $23.5 on the regular menu so this was a great value! * beef carpaccio (crispy shallot, jalapeño vinaigrette, horseradish) - $9 on happy hour * tsukune meatball (chicken, ginger, negi, soy aioli - $11) *pork chop katsu (bone-in chop, apple purée, truffle soy - 29) - this was SO good. the best katsu i've had in a while. The truffle soy was sooo umami and the apple puree was perfect. * squash blossom tempura (red curry, nuoc mam, chili oil) - love and respect a good squash blossom which this was...but the flavors here are Vietnamese and a bit random? There were better dishes. I also ordered hotate (scallop) and uni off-menu! We also had the fried milk dessert (vanilla custard, salted fudge, toasted blondie) this was stupid good. The fried milk was like...mini donut holes filled like popping boba. So special!

    Probably one of the more underrated sushi spots in Denver, Uchi delivers a great dining experience with quality food and excellent service. For the Denver area, it's hard to find a better sushi spot for the price you'll pay. The omakase was very good and if your first time dining at Uchi, I wouldn't recommend another option. The service is top notch and my only complaint would be that it can be hard to hear if it's very crowded.

    Having been to uchi in Miami and Austin and uchi Ko in Miami, we knew it was going to be a great meal. But, wow, the omakase at uchi Denver blew us away. Every bite was as good as the last. And our sushi chef and the whole staff were just super and attentive in the perfect amount. Now we're inspired to try the omakase at uchi Miami!!

    When is the happy hour from, and on what days of the week do they do it?

    Hello! We offer happy hour every day, with the exception of a couple holidays. It runs between 4:00-6:00pm.

    Typically how much is the omakase?

    Went today and it was $50 for six course per person (but minimum of two, so $100 total) or $125 for ten course per person.

    Is the Omakase worth it? Will it fill you up?

    For us, yes, definitely!

    Can I bring my own bottle of sake?

    Colorado doesn't allow outside alcohol.

    This is my Japanese comfort restaurant…read more One of the hidden gems of Denver, Domo is a Japanese restaurant that has been around for a long time serving home-style tradional Japanese meals. You won't find fancy sushi here or fusion cooking here, but rather tasty home cooked style classic Japanese dishes. Dishes like Japanese curry, oyakodon, and other donburi and noodle dishes. Having been here multiple times, I cannot recommend this place enough for a homey style meal. No joke, each meal here makes you feel warm inside, like a good home cooked meal. It's comparable to many meals I've had traveling through out real Japan. The flavors are simple, but each dish is well prepared while emphasizing conform over fancy preparation. You just cannot go wrong with any dish here, though I'm partial to the donburi, the green tea soba, and the hot pot. And if the meal is not enough, there is a beautiful garden to enjoy. If you catch it at the right time, the cherry blossom in the spring is beautiful and transport you right to Japan. Overall, Domo is a place that I'm always down to visit. It's warm, comfy, and nostalgic, and I just know I'll miss it when it's gone.

    Domo was such a unique and memorable experience. We had dinner in the restaurant's beautiful garden…read moresanctuary, which felt peaceful and charming--and seeing the cats roaming around made it even more special. The service was pretty good. We were seated right away and given plenty of time to take in the restaurant's history and look through the menu. Our food came out quickly, and the staff was always nearby if we needed anything. We started with the cucumber salad and shrimp shumai. The cucumber salad was refreshing, but the shrimp shumai had a strong fishy smell and taste that didn't seem very fresh--I couldn't eat more than one. For my entrée, I ordered the nabeyaki soup with ramen noodles and chicken, and it was excellent. The soy-based broth was rich and flavorful without being too salty, and the ramen noodles were cooked perfectly--tender with just the right amount of bite. Overall, Domo offers a really special atmosphere and a memorable dining experience. I wouldn't recommend the shrimp shumai, but I'd definitely come back to try another ramen flavor, and to see the cats again.

My typical go to is on of the salad. Now salads typically are not standout at most restaurants, but the ones at Kawa Ni just hits different. Both the red cabbage and pear salad and the brocolli salad are delicious and the portion is massive, easily enough for a table of 4 to share. For apps and shareable entrees, you can't go wrong here. The build your own tuna temaki hand rolls can easily be shared and the tuna is so fresh and well seasoned. The szechuan dumplings are delicious, as is the curry onigiri and the bao bun. The Dan Dan noodle, kimchi Carbonara, and their tonkotsu ramen are also amazing, and, with the exception of the tonkotsu ramen, can easily be shared. I would highly recommend other seasonal dishes as well, such as the coconut swordfish or chicken katsu parm. However, one of my absolute favorite dish here is the ochazuke. It's basically grilled fish over rice in a warm green tea dashi. It's so comforting, especially on a cold night, and a dish that I return to time and time again. Overall, Kawa Ni is an amazing japanese restaurant. Come for the food and just make sure you get a sake bomb and ask for the gong when you do.

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.
