Discover the Best Sushi in Denver

The OpenTable Team

In the early 1980s, Denver had few sushi restaurants to speak of and Coloradans’ excitement for eating it was pretty minimal. However, as Denver became the center of the state’s culinary boom, sushi rolls and sashimi proved a focal point in the city’s food revolution. But where are diners going for the best sushi in Denver? We gathered data from thousands of restaurants to find the top ones among locals and visitors. Here are the must-try sushi restaurants in the Mile High City.
