    Picked up food to go, two rolls, veggie tempura, tuna tartarki, and a salad. The tuna on the roll and the tuna in the appetizer was grey not red like it's supposed to be. Did not smell fresh either. Tried the other roll and the salmon was cooked, which made it a very fishy bite. Both rolls were missing ingredients like avocado. Didn't eat the rolls or the appetizer. Will be not back.

    Came here for lunch solo on a weekend. They weren't busy at all when I arrived and was able to sit immediately. The waitress was very kind and took my order. I got vegetable tempura, miso soup and a veggie roll-- everything was just ok; sounds weird but, just didn't have much flavor.

    Okay... My review has since gone down hill. My husband still adores his sushi and thinks it's some of the best he's ever had... Which definitely is saying something but me, nope. I don't think I can ever order from this restaurant again. Sad but true. The second time I ordered from here, I requested no seasoning on my yellowtail collar but when delivered, yep, still had seasoning... And it wasn't all that good. And the salmon skin was chewy, and honestly made me a tad bit nauseated cause I noticed it still had scales on it. The third time I ordered from here, I ordered the sashimi platter and salmon skin Handrolls. The sashimi was dynamite! I will give them that, and for $23 you get a lot of fish! But the salmon skin was NOT GOOD. Blech. I couldn't even finish it. I saved it though and I'm going to try crisping it UP in my air fryer... To see if that saves it. Again, it was chewy... And tasted just off (kind of like in order 2, I just wanted to try one moreeee time before making my final decision about this restaurant). Also, this time around- SOOOOO MANY SCALES!!!!!! SO GROSS. I can't handle scales on salmon skin. It's repulsive to me, and all I kept doing while trying to eat this salmon skin was taking scales out of my mouth. If I ever decided to order from this restaurant again, purely because my husband wants more (since he loves it)- I will just order sashimi and call it a meal.

    Great place for lunch! Usually not too busy. The Bento Box is my favorite. Large portions that include Soup & Salad. They have a full bar. Nice Staff.. Small Parking lot

    Will definitely be back to find those two elusive stars. Short staffed, so if you know someone; send them here for part time shifts. Food is stellar. Drinks are just right. Hostess is sweet and witty. My preference for Pepsi is dampened but the hostess joked she would have a Pepsi for me when I come back. Overall, I see the potential for romantic dining. I think they should turn up the music a bit and rush the drinks to the table. The three stars is strictly for under staffing and long wait for initial drink and appetizer order. Full restaurant and we're the last to leave. Everyone waits patiently and for good reason. Soon y'all soon.

    A hidden gem Me, my wife, and a few friends went out for a night in Parker and wanted to try something new. All of us are sushi advocates and realized we had never tried Yutaka. It was a pleasant surprise that the service was great, and the sushi even better! The ambiance was good and made for a perfect little dinner spot in our home town. We will absolutely be back. Ps try the Parker roll!

    I need to go here more often. I've only been there three times and every time the food was great and the staff very friendly. The lunch specials are are bargain too.

The inside is quaint with booths and some small tables. I asked for more ginger and got a nice large bowl. They take reservations online but I walked-in and was able to get a seat. They had a lot of options for lower-carb rolls as well. The bad: I wish they had online e-gift cards! The interesting: They have a sushi bar area you can sit at as well. It looked like a lot of the workers here are Chinese. They offer delivery and a kids menu.

I thought the rolls were okay and wished the spicy tuna was a little more spicy but overall a very solid place for lunch and would go again.

It's either you go a little north to get to Lone Tree or a little south to get to Castle Rock to find something truly good or even decent. But the past Saturday I got lucky in the very city with something I truly love: Japanese food. After finishing up a job assignment in the very shopping center, if I was going to get food then it had to be something close by preferably a place that was walkable. I then found this place in my quick search. What a simple name! I wasted no time to go and check it out. Inside is clean and simple. Nothing fancy or special about the interior snd yet it's got some Asian touches throughout. My visit to it was met with an amazing service by a young man upfront who was friendly, professional and personable. Didn't get his name but hopefully the accolades I am showering him with by writing this review get noticed by the manager or the owner and that they will go to him personally. After browsing the menu for a good few minutes I set my eyes on the tempura tofu and the seaweed salad. Once my order was placed with him he said it would be 10-15 minutes. The time of arrival was 15 minutes before 6pm. There was only a few tables occupied by diners. The restaurant didn't appear to be busy with online or call-in orders. As such, my food (as he promised) was ready in a timely fashion. I definitely needed to eat my food in the car; I was super famished. And here is my honest and frank assessment for the two items: -Tempura tofu: great portion size for the price of $17 as of this writing in late July of 2026. The tempura tofu pieces were huge. The heat from the oil cooking was still felt as i bit into the tofu. This is a three-layered dish with tempura tofu on top, stir fried vegetables in the second layer and white rice at the bottom. The denseness of the dish is simply thick. -Seasoned salad: this was also a good portion size. The seaweed was placed on top of the greens that were fresh. This can easily be split between two people. After everything I had experienced with this business, I can comfortably say that I could see myself using this restaurant again whenever I see fit although it's, at the same time, not a place where I would drive 20+ minutes just to eat here unless I have other reason to be in the neighborhood.

However, within a few minutes of placing the order I received a call, wanting to confirm which location I had wanted to place the order through. I had accidentally chosen the wrong location so they canceled my order and had me place it again online. They called the other individual I was with who also placed an order. This must happen pretty often if they're calling every single person that places an online order and I will say that I did not notice that I picked the wrong location when I placed the order. So I was grateful that they called to confirm. The order was ready when we arrive to the location and everything was accurate. I started with edamame. And I will say it is pretty standard edamame. I also wanted to try a California roll. It was really fresh and I would definitely order one again. My favorite of the appetizers was that Gyoza. Those were so good. I always order them with Ramen in Kansas City but these knocked any of those out of the park. For Ramen, I went with a classic tonkatsu. The menu description said that it came with corn and bok choy, but I was missing both of those items. The Ramen itself was really good. The broth was super rich and they gave you a lot. There were also a lot of Ramen noodles. And I did like the addition of the bamboo shoots. The marinated egg was fantastic. This classic was so tasty. If I lived in the area, I would definitely visit pretty often. There's so many different menu items that looked so good and I'm sure the other Ramen varieties are fantastic as well.
