Best Japanese Restaurants in Uptown

Great food great service. Would definitely go back.

Excellent sushi and other Japanese cuisine as always.

The food was excellent, but we specifically asked for two dishes to come out at the same time and our waiter blamed kitchen backup for why they didn’t (he just forgot). Drinks took forever too. He was just okay and frankly if I didn’t feel obligated to tip 20%, he definitely hadn’t earned it. He did the bare minimum, and I just hope for more when at a restaurant like Uchi and spending $500 on a meal.

This was our second time dining at Matsuhisa Denver. We have, in the past, also dined at Nobu in NYC and San Diego, so we know and appreciate Chef Nobu’s reputation. The service and food was outstanding. They have such an extensive menu and we prefer to not eat rice, so we asked the server to create an omikase menu that met our preferences. She did a wonderful job with the selections that included a wide variety of seafood and textures and made solid recommendations for sake. It was all excellent…pricey, but worth it because the quality of the presentations were definitely a cut above.

Great place to grab sushi! Great food and good deals
