I go there very often, the workers recognize me and are so nice. The food is amazing and they have best sushi I have ever had. It is never crowded, and a very calm environment. It also is in a very convenient location and has very good service. read more

Stopped by here to pick up a large order for a party. I'm not sure why other people's ratings are so low because our sushi was freshly made and ready when I got there. We had quite a selection of menu items and it all smelled and tasted fresh. I have not dined in the restaurant and have only gotten orders to go. read more

Our favorite sushi place for takeaway and delivery - even our dog loves the sushi! ;) They've got a nice selection of standard choices plus special rolls. read more

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. read more

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. read more

The food is always wonderful, fresh and great flavor. Great service. The staff is attentive.

If I could give zero stars, I would. I've been coming to this restaurant for years. I have celiac disease. I've safely ordered their spicy edamame dozens of times, gluten-free, without issue. But today, on a milestone day for me, I was refused service. Flat out. I ordered the same dish, the same way. It came out with plain. I flagged it and asked if it was the spicy gluten free. They claimed it was. As the meal progressed, the staff doubled down, claiming the dish couldn't be made gluten-free despite having served it to me DOZENS OF TIMES before. I asked to see ingredients. They refused. Let me say that again, they refused to show ingredients for a food allergy. They tried to argue with my partner about what gluten is, deflected accountability, and when challenged, chose to deny service instead of clarifying or correcting. Gaslighting someone with a medical condition, and then refusing them service for not rolling over? That's not just unprofessional, it's dangerous. This isn't about spicy edamame. This is about integrity, safety, and trust. And to whoever was working the front today, you know you've served this dish gluten free. You know my face. Own your choices. If your kitchen changed the recipe or can't guarantee safety, fine. Say that. But don't pretend the customer's mistaken just to dodge liability. We won't be back. And if you have any dietary restrictions or expect transparency from the people preparing your food, you shouldn't be either. read more

I absolutely LOVE this place! The King Maki roll (lobster) is fabulous. I live a good 30 minutes away, but I'll drive past 50 other sushi restaurants to come here. The service is always great, the decorations are nice. Zero complaints! read more

The food was awful the chef was coughing. The spicy tuna was NOT spicy at all no Japanese mayo, the bronco roll was super fishy. Never again. read more

Probably the best sushi place in Parker and surrounding areas. Great sushi, service, and staff! Highly recommend Yutaka in Parker for your sushi desire. Restaurant is clean quiet and comfortable! read more

We are regulars and come to Yutaka at least once a month. It's always a quiet and peaceful place to have a meal and we always enjoy trying new rolls and new types of sushi along with our usual favorites. Service is always perfect (not lacking anything, but also not excessive check in) and we are always glad to see our same kind friend as always who seats us and helps us. I like the inari soup which I don't often find other places. The sushi is tasty. This is a happy place for us. read more

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. read more

Very good we have been going there for years and everybody is very nice and their food is very good.

The food was great. 3rd time back. The portions were a generous and the fish was very fresh. The staff remembered us and were very kind. The restaurant was very clean. The background music was very soothing for my 4 month old grand baby. It has become a favorite spot for us. read more

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 read more

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. read more

This is my go to place for sushi in Parker. Their California rolls don't have mayo! That's big for me since many places don't use real crab or they just cover it in Mayo. I have brought many people here and all have loved it. You can't judge a book by its cover. This place is a gem. read more

A friend of mine and I love this restaurant. They have wonderful food. The service is excellent and helpful with any questions. We love the rolls and try not to get the Snow roll every time. We branched out this time. Another delight. Forgot the name. No worries. We'll find it again next time. My mouth is watering just thinking about it! read more

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! read more

Yutaka Japanese Bistro - Sushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Parker, Colorado

Today is my Birthday ! So I was going to come to one of my favorite places and have some delicious sashimi and sushi , let's start off with this.. We have been sitting here for an hour and a half we have just barely received our drinks and that seems like such a chore to get. The young man that was getting our drinks definitely did not want to be there and you could tell by every action and every movement he made it would so obvious he was miserable working. We were trying to get his attention to order and when doing so he smirked at us in such a horrible way. It's so disappointing that this place has turned into the way it has. Granted It is a Friday night, and they only have one server I don't understand why this is, like that there are so many people in this restaurant behind the counter I literally can count seven people. How come we weren't greeted and or told we'll be right with you guys in a few minutes. Or I'm sorry we're super busy,, no we just are waiting and waiting and waiting for our drinks we didn't even order yet ,and then finally ,,,,we asked how long would it take for the food and we were quoted about 20 minutes. It has been way longer than that now this is no way to run a business. I am so sad and what an unfortunate day for it to happen on my birthday I was just trying to have a very pleasant evening tonight with my family and have some delicious sushi can't even believe how long it took just to get the drinks. They knew we were still waiting for our first round of food like an appetizer or our soup or salad. Quite a few minutes after that we reminded one of the staff that was there that we had not received anything and then the ball started rolling quite quickly them noticing we were quite upset also at this time we have been there for almost 2 hours. We had asked the young man a very important question about one of the things that we had ordered if one of the dishes was real crab or imitation crab we were informed that it was real crab and it was not and unfortunately my sister had a very bad allergic reaction to the fake crab. She is super super allergic to it thus that's why we asked numerous times to make sure it was supposed to be real and it was not. I just cannot believe this happened and it could have been avoided with a simple no it is not real. Absolutely utterly ridiculous by the thank goodness of Murphy's law my sister had taken Benadryl beforehand due to being allergic to kitties and she was petting a cat just a little while before we went to the restaurant. If my sister had not taken that Benadryl she probably would have had a very bad episode and what it ended up in the hospital or might of even died. The negligence of the employee that caused this issue is horrific. I have went to this place numerous times and I have enjoyed their food but unfortunately I don't think I'm going to be coming back here anymore it is so sad the attitude has gone downhill and the communication is just not there I'm only giving this place three stars due to what has happened. read more

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. read more

Second visit, another yelp to go order. Prompt service. The packaging was really well thought out with soup and salad and soy sauce all snug in the bag. Based upon my last review however I would say this place is inconsistent. I got an Alaska roll and a spicy tuna roll. The spicy tuna roll had very little sauce and wasn't very spicy at all. The Alaska roll was fine. I like the slivered cucumber rather than one chunk. read more

This isn't the most sleek and elegant venue in Denver's metro area. It's not the wildest, crazy combination sushi rolls I've experienced. Yutaka is a nice place with a hard working team of caring and conscientious staff doing their best to provide each guest with a great meal of truly fresh seafood. Each time we come, we are always pleased with the quality of the food. Service is always courteous, friendly and doing their best job possible for all of us. Price point is excellent for the quality of the product. Thank you again for such a nice restaurant to enjoy! Bill read more

We stopped there tonight for the first time as it was convenient. Firstly it's obvious that no one there is Japanese. Also, the front was being run predominantly by a young man who appeared to be about 12 an what I assume was his younger sister. We were seated at a table after waiting for the young man to clear it. He returned with menus and we ordered a Bento Box #1 dinner, Udon noodles, two common rolls and I asked for tea and a hot saki for myself. Water was provided. The boy didn't write anything down at all. Shortly thereafter he brought the ubiquitous salad and soup. The salad was overly wet and the soup tepid. I took about 20 minutes for the young man to return with my daughter's rolls which were loose and place in a single very unappetizing manner on a huge round industrial dinner plate. Since we hadn't gotten and plates, napkins or hashi, I requested place settings. Neither my wife's entree or mine were forthcoming, so my daughter shared her rolls. The Udon arrived next perhaps 10 minutes later. It too was haphazardly piled unattractively on a plain white clay plate. Several minutes later my bento box arrived. The broccoli served in teriyaki with the salmon was wet from being steamed, not prepared properly at all. The tempura shrimp and veggies was hot and crisp but dam it was just about as tasteless as I had ever had. The scallops were overcooked and tiny. I gave my daughter the California Roll pieces. We never receive the tea or saki I requested, but it wasn't on the bill. All in all I would have to say that while it wasn't terribly expensive, I got what I paid for, a mediocre dinner in a mediocre place. read more

Our usual place was closed and I'm glad we tries Yukata. We may have a new favorite! Good food and service!

This place is a great find, never trouble getting a seat, great food and adequate array from the bar. Wait staff is a little weak but still adequate. Go for Volcano Roll and Fantastic Roll, but don't forget the cucumber salad and warm saki. read more

Food was pretty good for the price, sushi was better than average but nothing I'd go out of my way for unless the location is convenient for you. The service isn't great either, they definitely need training in that department! read more

Yutaka Japanese Bistro - Son eating yakitori lunch and gyoza . He loved his plate! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Parker, Colorado

I strongly believe that the owner of this restaurant has some deep deep misunderstanding about Japanese food for I don't think they have even had any Japanese food. The first image is what oyako don is SUPPOSED TO look like, and the second is what they gave me. Their curry is tasteless, the katsu is bland and NOT even crispy, tastes like it's been soaked in water. The salad tasted like a mix of old vegetables and a horrible self-made sauce. Everything we ordered was different than what we expected and different from what we've had at every other sushi place, including ones in Japan. I don't think these people are capable of cooking good food. read more

Another disappointing experience. Yes, I understand it is Valentine's day and business is nonstop but online orders should not take almost 2 hours to complete. I am patient, but not 2 hours for 3 sushi rolls patient. I placed my order through the Yelp app (Grubhub) at 6:20. Got the notification that my order was ready at 7:04, so we walked in to grab it. We waited patiently behind a like of people who had been waiting before us for to-go orders. After chatting with them, we realized our orders were all placed around the same time. There was no one to serve the to-go counter, they were very short staffed and even had their children working the counters. I finally tracked down someone to check on my order, it was around 7:25. She told me the chef was preparing my order now because it was only 3 rolls. We waited a little longer, at 7:50 (now an hour and a half after my order was placed) my order had still not been started. I asked her to check on the status and she grabbed my ticket and proceeded to read my order to the chef. It had not even been started 30 minutes prior! At this point I was fed up. I asked her to cancel it because I could not wait another hour. While waiting at the counter, I noticed several tables waiting on their orders. Two customers actually approached the counter and asked about the status of their orders. The customer service is horrible here. They aren't pro-active about ensuring customer satisfaction and didn't even care that people were waiting that long on to-go orders. There was no offer of any appetizer or drink while we waited. We hoped to have a better experience this time, but it seems that this is the standard for this restaurant. read more

If you like Japanese food or sushi this the place to go. The service is great and friendly. Always clean and nice. I love this place and recommend highly read more

Eh. I try to come back and give this place more chances but when I go back, I ask myself why I did. The service is beyond slow, even when there's not many people in the restaurant. Sometimes I feel like I have to flag the staff down in order to tell them what I'd like to eat. When it comes to the food, it is pretty decent but it is quite expensive even for sushi. Last night I tried something non sushi related and had the Beef Shogoyaki. It was pretty good and came with vegetables. The vegetables were definitely not drained before putting them on my plate which led to the rest of my food being watery. The sauce on the beef was okay, could've used more because of everything being watered down. The plate was $10, we ordered one roll which was the Philadelphia and it was $5.50. I want to like this place because it's so close to my house and the people seem great that work there but every time I just feel disappointed. read more

The place was clean and pleasant and the staff were friendly and the sushi may be fine, but the hot food we had was very disappointing. The Chicken Teriyaki sauce was tasteless, the chicken chewy and the vegtables (broccoli) mushy. The Shrimp Tempura batter was tasteless and soggy. read more

Unfortunately, I have to adjust my review to a lower rating. My wife has a fish allergy and gets the vegetable rolls, and vegetable tampera. Past two orders she has found fish within the rice and this order had shrimp in the tempura. This place has lessen there standards even with traditional sushi, I would not recommend ordering from here. read more

Wow- super impressed! Yutaka is such a gem- clean, staff is engaging and friendly, food is fresh, cost is very reasonable. I loved the miso soup, but I need to rave about the hand made shrimp shumai! Simply the best I have ever had, we tried steamed and fried- steamed shumai was good, fried was great! The tuna poke bowl was so fresh and beautiful, hard to believe it is so reasonably priced! My wife had a custom roll made, the chef executed her request perfectly - really pleased with our experience. We were some of the last customers as we had arrived rather late. We did not see any of the staff lounging about, they were always moving or cleaning. The staff that was not busy helping us was cleaning every menu thoroughly and then arranging them to air dry- really impressed with the attention to detail. Highly recommend! read more

Yutaka Japanese Bistro - Tuna Poke Bowl - Sushi Bars Near Me - Parker, Colorado

My wife ordered from Tutsis at least once a week. We have since moved to Phoenix, so no more Yutaka for us. The sushi is always fresh and delicious. We always add cream cheese to our California rolls. The owner delivers sometimes, and since my wife orders 50+ times a year, the owner calls her his sister. They are a very friendly and nice group of people. You should definitely give them your business. If you are looking for a great Japanese Sudhi place and Asian food place, this is it in Parker CO for eating in, take out, or delivery! read more

The sushi menu were creative and different. It is definitely not a Japanese restaurant. It is pricey for the quality or quantity. There was only one waitress handling the whole restaurant maybe because of covid. I think they are too overpriced for their food or service. The fish was not too fresh and sliced uneven. Ordered chirashi, traditional sushi dish(look it up). They served the vinegar rice and raw fish on the side- not acceptable. The locals may enjoy this bland sushi but more to be desired if they want to call it a Japanese restaurant. read more

I come here all the time. Amazing sushi and friendly service! It's a little expensive but I'd highly recommend it!

We affectionately refer to this restaurant as "The S**t Show" when we drive by. Our sole experience there was enough to deter us from ever returning. From [what appears to be] 11 year-olds working there, to the communication barrier, to them being desperately in need of process improvement, it all culminated into a highly disappointing experience. The food was mediocre in taste, incorrect, late (by A LOT), and cold -all the things I am not looking for in a meal. read more
