Came here on a cold Thursday night and had a great experience! There's plenty of seating, both booth/tables and high top / bar seating. There's a self-serve water station, which I love because I drink a lot of water and hate asking to get my drink refilled. I love spicy so of course I had to get the W's Spicy Tonkotsu Ramen! It was really good. That broth is phenomenal and made it so easy for me to completely finish my plate. I would've liked the option to add an egg or have braised pork slices, but I did enjoy the ground pork. Definitely looking forward to exploring the rest of the menu!

I can't express how much I wanted to love this place. An all vegan sushi place with a promise of real sushi like flavors and not just sweet potato tempura on everything... ya that sounded good. But sadly the flavors were non-existent and our experience kept on getting worse. We ordered Hot Flamingo Roll and Fiery Philly Roll. One just tasted like mango and other like Sriracha... literally no other flavors or textures even. The wasabi had the most taste. We thought maybe the Ramen would be better so we got the Tantanmen Ramen and that was worse somehow... it was not hot and tasted sweet like vanilla. Sadly, I would recommend to skip this place altogether no matter what menu item here attracts you. The service was ok... you order food on the counter first which is not very sushi like. And the crowd here was also not the best.

First of all I was stoked to know there was a vegan sushi place in Denver and I brought my children with me to try what they had to offer. We had the Okonomi Fries, Katsu Curry Burrito, Fiery Philly Roll, and the Hot Flamingo Roll. The place looked trendy, clean and promising. However we waited a long while for our food to come to our table. Fortunately they served us the Okonomi Fries which tided us over until the rest of our food arrived. I have to admit the food was good and the sushi rolls were spot on as good as they come. They pulled off the impossible, their sushi rolls were like the real thing, texture, taste and flavor. I kinda liked the Hot Flamingo roll which did a great job imitating a real tuna roll. I also like the Katsu Curry Burrito as well. However the portions were rather small and the prices were in my opinion pricey and after eating all that we ordered, it was not filling. We were still hungry even after paying over $50 worth of food. It's good, don't get me wrong, but the portions for what you pay for is lacking.

So many options to choose from! A favorite vegan sushi place of mine in California recently closed, so I was glad to get to come support & try a vegan sushi spot on my trip to Denver. I got the Tamago Natto Oshi because I've always wanted to try Natto. It was like an umami explosion. Super intense umami flavor because of the truffle, so be prepared! The rice was done perfectly. I'm not sure what the flat yellow part was, but it reminded me of chickpea tofu. The seaweed salad was vibrant and yummy! My friend got the sushi rolls and they were beautiful! I tired the royal potato one and it just tasted like purple sweet potato (the potato overpowered the other flavors). Ordering is self serve. It was nice because the system showed pictures of most of the menu items, so it helped me confirm what I wanted by seeing what it would look like. Lots of seating. Water & napkins & chopsticks were also self serve. I was surprised they didn't have reusable chopsticks. The staff member I spoke with was helpful. I asked quite a few questions about what menu items were & which fake meats were homemade or from certain brands. I would definitely come back here to try more menu items, like ramen!

Everything is so full of flavor! I live in Wyoming and will drive to Denver specifically to go to Wellness Sushi. The ramen is soooo delicious and my boyfriend (who's been to Japan) says the ramen tastes fully authentic. I cannot wait to eat here again! Also, the staff is very kind, and it has a very calming vibe in the restaurant.

Potential for better, you can tell the rolls are made by professionals. Out of 4 rolls I really liked 2, especially the smoked one. Two of them had too much toppings of crunch and mayo, which made the taste of the real roll underpowered. Overall I recommend it and will go back.

This place is fire for vegan sushi. I would love if they had more gluten free options, but for a dedicated vegan spot I'm really impressed. Mostly, I'm a bit confused as to how more of the options aren't GF as they report all their soy sauce is GF (I assume that they use a tamari or coconut aminos, meaning that their menu items listing "dark soy sauce" are either incorrect or all their soy sauce is not GF?). Service took about 40 minutes for the sushi rolls, 20 minutes over the anticipated time and we had to remind the waitress of a roll we ordered. I tried the ramen and wasn't incredibly impressed with the flavor -- just a bit bland and I would have appreciated it more if there were more toppings / it was less noodle heavy (but, again, it was made GF so maybe they left items out of it?). All around a great addition to the vegan food scene, just still leaves something to be desired.

A very underrated vegan sushi place in Denver. This is one of the best Japanese food I have had in the US. Their place is quite small and understaffed for large groups. They take more time to serve. We ordered a variety of sushis and Ramen. Their Ramen is extremely delicious and feels like a hug in a bowl. We came to this place twice just for the Ramen. I highly recommend this place if you're looking for some vegetarian/vegan food when you're in Denver.

Love in the Endo roll and All Krab Oshi.

I have been ordering from here since before they had a brink and mortar location. I have tried a lot of things and everything I have tried has been delicious. I really loved sushi before I went vegan so Wellness has been a real treat for me. Last time I visited had the All Krab Oshi and the Love in the Endo roll. I especially liked the Endo Roll with the mango on it. I ordered from the kiosk and I got my food really quickly. I wish I lived closer so I could eat here more often.

Stopped by on a Saturday early afternoon. It wasn't busy and there were plenty of tables available. You order at the counter and then they bring your food out to you. The service was very friendly. They gave us plenty of time to check out the menu without any pressure we ordered the spicy tonkotsu and spicy flamingo. The ramen was so filling we had to take the roll to go!

One of my favorite vegan restaurants in Denver. I've been buying Wellness Sushi ever since the days when they were just grab-n-go at Nooch. Then they opened a cute little hole-in-the-wall restaurant on Colfax. I don't go there as often as I should! But I'm always craving it, so we went there today for a birthday lunch. We ordered two rolls we've never tried: "Love in the Edo" and "Ebi Tempura" along with a bowl of "W's Tonkotsu" ramen. I've never had a creamy ramen before--I've been missing out. The ramen was soooo good! It even rivals the vegan ramen I had at Uncle. And of course the sushi was impeccable. I'm glad I branched out from the Krunchy Krab roll and tried some new things. Next time I'll try some aburi oshi...

vegan review: 3.75 stars. I appreciate its 100% vegan, however l've had better vegan sushi at other places including non-vegan restaurants. I had two rolls that didn't have mock seafood (I never liked seafood and now don't eat mock) so maybe for folks who miss seafood those rolls are better. I felt the flavors were decent but could be better and it was all one texture. I would go back but I'm not in a hurry. read more

The food is excellent, especially when dining in and eating it fresh. The rolls are creative and and everything is delicious. Why only three stars? The problem is the service. I've been eating Wellness Sushi since they were only selling pre-made rolls in some Choice Market locations, when they later had a small place inside a Choice Market location, when they had their temp kitchen space, and now that they have their new permanent space. I've dined in about four times. During my last visit (Feb 2023) they replaced the the role of host/cashier with a computer. It's incredibly impersonal. You order at a touch screen and pay at the touch screen, even for dining in. You grab your own table settings and table. There's no water station. The tables were not being bussed or cleaned unless someone asked. I'll likely switch to carry out only. Food is five stars, service is one star. read more

First off, I'm a meat lover. Came here with vegan friends and I thought I'd hate it. I was pleasantly surprised. Everything I tried was great! I didn't miss the fish at all. Got the crunchy krab roll, gyoza, and spring rolls. Also tried the "shrimp" sushi roll. Everything was great. Really liked the krab roll. Great textures, loved the krispies. read more

This is a frustrating review to write because I consider the ramen at Wellness Sushi to be my favorite in the city. That being said, the service/environment in their new location really needs a lot of work. 1st) We had a party of 5 and 4 of the meals came out right away, and 1 just never did. I finally got up and asked about it, and there wasn't even an apology he was more just annoyed. Also one of the ramens came with nice chopsticks and none of the others did, idk what that's about? 2) All of the tables were a mess and there weren't even any napkins available. 3) there's no water out so you have to ask for it, and it's this small cup so I had to get up and bother them for water multiple times. I love supporting restaurants like Wellness with a vegan focus - but I just can't see myself going back when that's the experience. It's far too expensive for what felt like I was in a run down McDonald's. It just sucks because the spicy tonkatsu is amazing and I love that it doesn't have pork. read more

Great option if you're looking for sushi with veggie/vegan choices! We had the seaweed salad, the fried spring rolls, the krunchy krab roll, and the ebi tempura roll. The stars were the salad and the spring roll, excellently tasty. The rolls were tasty and we loved the crunch on the krab roll, but the veggie meat substitutes were, to me, gummy and not a particularly pleasing texture. On another visit I might opt for a more purely veggie roll. Ordering and payment are done on a large touch screen, but the folks behind the counter were pleasant and helpful. The ambience is pretty downscale but there are several tables inside plus a couple on the sidewalk outside the entrance. Overa a good experience and we plan to go back. read more

This little business, is the Little Business that Could and DID!!! They offer the freshest tasting, most beautiful sushi anywhere. This is maybe their third address and now they have found a place to call their own. I have been lucky enough to travel to many places; I have not been everywhere, true. But, of the many cities and countries I have been to Wellness Sushi is the very best. I have never been disappointed...ever. We are vegan and so we are pleased to have the best sushi place ever, near enough to visit pretty regularly. Hope they grow and everyone can experience their wonderful, beautiful recipes. Try it you will not regret it. Follow them on Instagram to see their mid-week hump-day specials. These are hard working people that want to please you. Staffing I am sure remains an issue with all business. It is worth any wait that you may have to do, but I personally have only waited once. read more

Sushi was unmatched (...disclaimer: I've never had vegan sushi though) and the ramen was solid. ++ The 2 rolls (ebi shrimp tempura, crab) we had we gobbled up and would not have been able to distinguish very much from their non-vegan counterparts. + Plating, toppings/garnish, and ginger/wasabi/soy sauce were all spot-on, even in take-out form + The take-out packaging for the ramen was probably the best I've ever seen for noodle soup dishes + Ramen noodles and add-ins (bamboo shoots, little meaty bits, spring onion, etc.) had great texture and flavor. ~ I wish there were more veggie toppings on the ramen bowl, though (only 1 bok choy leaf?) ~ Tonkotsu broth was too sweet for me. Creamy and multilayered, yes. But I sipped it first before mixing in the noods and add-ins and immediately thought "cookies and cream". My sister really enjoyed it though -- she's had more vegan ramen than I have and it was still close to the top for her. I'd be interested to try their other 2 broths. - Wait was long! It was at least 30 minutes until we got our food. read more

They are not providing a safe environment for anyone in that building it's like 95 degrees inside the building it was literally humid. It's offensive. It's illegal. They have the audacity to charge these prices while your employees are sweating in the food cause you can't provide ac for your employees. FOR THE RECORD I do NOT blame the employees for the HOUR AND A HALF WAIT for 3 rolls!!! I blame the manager for making these poor employees work for two days without ac while it's 95 degrees outside and at LEAST 100 inside. It was so gross that customers were disgusted to sit inside and were. It also stank so bad which causes concern for the quality of the food they are serving at this point. The manger wasn't in when we went in. I'm calling OSHA. Sorry about the rant and the confusion of this post but I'm very upset. read more

Best sushi you can get in Denver AND it's all plant-based! It's so hard to find good vegan sushi that isn't just an avocado roll or a cucumber roll. Their menu is clearly labeled for food allergies/sensitivities and they have many gluten free options. I will drive an hour from my house in the foothills just to get their onigiri. It's somehow even better than their regular sushi. My wife discovered Wellness sushi at a choice market downtown a couple of years ago and we've been following them from location to location ever since. Hoping they're able to stay at their new location for awhile without any problems. Their new location is great and near plenty of other things to do. Would definitely recommend this place to any plant-based sushi fans. read more

Wellness sushi is amaaaaazing! I randomly found it by searching for vegan sushi in Denver. I honestly want to try every single one of their rolls, but for my first time, I stuck with just two different types. I tried both the kakiage supreme roll & the hot flamingo roll. They were both unreal. They tasted so fresh, and I love this restaurant's take on vegan fish. I highly recommend this to anyone that is plant-based, but I think any sushi lover would like this restaurant's sushi!!! I can't wait to go back and try the rest of their rolls. read more

Was told they couldn't make what I'd ordered and asked if I was allergic to something else I'd already specifically said that I didn't want. I returned the unopened canned drink and they said they would cancel my order. They still charged my card. Always get a receipt at this place. If I go back, it'll just be to address the incorrect transaction. I've had a couple of instances of mediocre or bad service since my initial review. It's too bad, because I liked the idea and the food was pretty good. As some others have mentioned, cleanliness can be an issue here, especially with the number signs being reused by different customers without being cleaned and the tables are often dirty and not wiped down. read more

Do they have anything that's gluten free?

That should be an easy answer because they are rice based dishes, but the soy sauce makes for the challenge.... I do recall a variety of soy sauces at the location, and our entire meal was fresh so I would bet they can make gluten-free dishes.

Very Japanese like feeling with knick knacks every where with banners, akachõchin. Sushi bar takes one side and also a small bar to the back. Drink menu featured several imported Japanese bottled beers on top of the common ones at reasonable price. Ended up getting the house salad, chicken yakitori, spicy tonkatsu ramen and yaki ika. All tasted good, no complaints. Spicy tonkatsu ramen had rich broth, chatsu was grilled and plenty. Repeat

JINYA Ramen Bar - Union Station

This location is a little bigger than some of the others I've been to, with plenty of high tops and some regular tables. The interior is dark, but it works in this setting. I know there are a lot of things on the menu, but I always go for the vegan creamy miso ramen, with no spice. And a side of mushrooms (kikurage) and fresh garlic. The noodles are perfectly al dente and the broth with the toppings just works. The only small downside on this visit was that the restaurant wasn't busy, yet the wait staff kind of forgot about us. But it all worked out, so it wasn't a big deal.

Jade brought it out in 20 minutes, piping hot and oh so delicious! So happy we chose to have lunch here today!

Uncle

Uncle is a small, Asian fusion shrine that one should place on your must visit list. In the Northwest area of Denver, Uncle has limited seating and a show if you sit at the bar. Reservations are strongly suggested and well worth the wait. Crazy combinations, flavor bombs throughout and a culinary delight you won't regret. Tonight, we sat at the bar and watched the magic happen. These guys are cranking out amazing and delectable treats you won't forget. The Uncle salad was a great starter with charred cabbage, lemongrass, mint, cilantro, arugula, and peanuts lightly coated in a Thai coconut dressing. A slight burn only leaving you to crave just one more bite, ha! The fried soft shell crab in a bao bun with green papayo slaw, coconut mayo and cilantro nam prik was sweet, perfect crunch and memorable. Two for two with one dish left. The cold spicy sesame noodles with seasoned chicken, granny Smith apple slivers, arugula, cashews and nanami togorashi, a perfect closing dish for an exceptional meal. The service, food quality, flavors and preformance from the bar seats were second to none. The concept, portion size, flavor and cost were a real treat in the big city food scene of Denver. If you haven't been here yet, get to the internet and book a table, I promise you won't regret it. To the staff, chefs, and all members of Uncle, thank you for a surprising and incredibly great meal, we will return on our future trips to Denver.

What a cute little place!!…read more It was late in the evening and I was getting hangry. I was craving ramen and Neko came up during my Yelp research. They were open late, so we decided to go. The restaurant was popping at 22:00 on a Friday. We were greeted warmly by staff. It was intriguing to us that we ordered via an iPad kiosk as if we were at a boba place, but we didn't mind. However, usually only to go orders are placed on a kiosk. In my hangry state of mind, I had not realized that Neko only serves their ramen with chicken broth, so for those of you who prefer tonkotsu broth, this isn't the place for you. For that reason, my husband had to order a chashu rice bowl instead. Personally, I enjoy both paitan and tonkotsu. I went with the black garlic ramen. It didn't take very long for our food to arrive. While we waited, we dispensed water for ourselves from the soda fountain. I was a little confused upon receiving my black garlic ramen, as I thought the black garlic oil would be more prominent. I was assured that I had the right bowl. My husband enjoyed his chashu rice bowl. I had a small bite and the pork was tender and well-seasoned. The paitan broth was very umami indeed. I would have liked to have more of a black garlic flavor, but it was still good. Next time I would just pay the extra $2 for more black garlic oil. The noodles were bouncy, and the chashu was tender. The egg was deliciously jammy (alas no photo because I devoured it). I saw they had soy sauce and hot sauce, but wish they had the classic chili powder so I could have added some to my ramen. Neko Ramen & Rice hit for late night noms, and the cat-themed decor all around (since Neko means cat in Japanese) was such a vibe. They also serve curry, poke, and various small bites if you want some apps to enjoy before your entrees. If you don't mind chicken broth for your ramen or will be ordering rice bowls instead, Neko is a fun little place to come dine at, especially since they open late.

I dived into my ramen while it was still hot and by the time I finish my bowl, I was too full for the starters so I packed them to go. The ramen was very tasty, bold in flavor yet not overly salty.

If you are looking for the most authentic bowl of ramen anywhere within a 20-30 Radius of Denver this is your spot.

Ototo used to be one of my top recommended restaurants to friends and people visiting Denver. It's…read morean easy reservation. The food is good. In general, it's been a laid back, go-to place to get a meal that will be much better than average for the price. I've been many times since before and after COVID, and it was one of my favorite repeatable spots in Denver. However, the crew totally dropped the ball with our visit today. My wife ordered a tonkatsu ramen and got a chicken tonkatsu set instead (chicken cutlet, not bowl of ramen). To not make it weird, we just let that one be for the greater good of the table because it was our anniversary, grandparents were visiting, and we are here often. Our hamachi kama (one of my favorite dishes in the entire city, normally something I'd highly recommend on this review) was never sent to the kitchen, leaving us waiting for over an hour with two young kids at the table who had finished 40 minutes before. I watched the staff's confusion from my seat, even after we had been told that it was on its way. It was never even started, and it was obvious. That stuff happens, but it's hard to hide what happened in an open kitchen where you can hear what people are saying. But then after they had the "oh crap" moment, it wasn't even expedited. It was gonna take so long that it wasn't worth getting, so two people had to leave our not-busy lunch without getting the main thing we brought them to Ototo for. We were asked to wait for the dish, waited 15 more minutes, and it was not even close to ready. And while I appreciated the apology, the manager initially just tried to "take the dish off the bill," a dish we never received. So he basically tried to do nothing because no restaurant would charge for something that never came out. After I pointed this out, they took off part of the check, but that attempt at nothing under the guise of a comp was crazy. I've easily spent thousands at Ototo over the years. I've sent tons of people to Kizaki, Temaki Den, and the others. This will probably be the last time I go to Ototo. If you read some of the recent bad reviews, something is not working here anymore. I hope the otherwise amazing service at the other Dens can find its way back to Ototo.

The vibe is a big part of it. The downtown views are hard to beat and the patio is easily one of the better ones in the city. Inside also feels intentional and well designed. Service was excellent.

Wellness Sushi completely redefines what plant-based sushi can be. We were so impressed with every roll we ordered. Each roll is thoughtfully constructed with deep, developed flavors and an impressive level of creativity. HOW IS THIS NOT FISH WHEN IT TASTES LIKE FISH?!!!From the vibrant, toppings to the rich, layered sauces, every dish tasted amazing and elevated. The freshness is undeniable. The ingredients taste clean, bright, and high-quality, and the presentation alone sets expectations that the flavors fully deliver on. It's inventive without being gimmicky, and every bite feels balanced and satisfying. We even asked for a side of the beet root sauce and ate it alone with a spoon. That said, the restaurant desperately needs better ventilation. The air inside was so heavy when they cooked the chili edamamme, (a favorite), that our eyes were burning the entire time, which made it difficult to fully enjoy what should have been a standout dining experience. It's an easy fix, but an important one. We were suffering! Overall, Wellness Sushi is bold, creative, and genuinely delicious. With improved air quality, it would easily move from great to exceptional. read more
