I usually have a magical ability to select a good restaurant by glancing at the facade, but my instinct just wasn’t sure about this place and I walked past many times without considering it.
That was a big mistake. My friend was in the mood for fish and we also wanted to visit a couple of the galleries on Santa Fe Drive, so we took a chance for an early dinner. We were amply rewarded–the food was terrific, the space was comfortable, and the service was efficient and friendly.
There’s a small sushi bar at the entrance and a large, covered and enclosed patio to the south of the building (warm weather use only). You can’t see the main dining room from the street, but it is tucked in the back of the building.
The menu is not huge, but there’s a good selection of starters/small plates, an interesting selection of entrées, plus fried rice and ramen options. There are multiple vegetarian choices in every part of the menu.
The raw menu includes 26 sushi/sashimi choices, 26 regular rolls, eight vegetable rolls, and ten special rolls. Everything we tried was fresh and delicious. The seaweed salad was particularly good. The Unagi (freshwater eel) was extremely tender and flavorful. We also tried the Dragon Roll and the flavor and texture combination was great. Our other nigiri selections were beautifully sliced and at the peak of perfection.
The place was totally packed by 6:00 p.m., but the service continued to be attentive and fast. We had a really great time and the bill was very reasonable. Give this place a try!

I happened to stumble into this place during their happy hour. I ordered the soft shell crab and veggie tempur, which was a good amount of veggies but only 2 pieces of crab. The dip was sweet and delicious, the star of the appetizer. Next up was the spicy scallop rolls. It has a pleasant kick to it. If there’s one thing I wouldn’t get again, it would be the tonkotsu ramen, which unfortunately I paid extra for. It was EXTREMELY salty, which is surprising because I’m addicted to salt. So this is saying a lot. Overall, even with HH pricing, I would not come here again.

Honestly some pretty solid sushi! It’s kind of unassuming but the sushi I’ve had here is super fresh and delicious. They also have more difficult to find fish that’s rare to see around Denver. It’s relatively affordable too. Great spot!

Definitely our new go-to Sushi spot when we want something more casual and easy. Everything was so fresh and yummy + the prices were honestly great. They have good happy hours prices too!

I went here a few times. I’ve only tried the firecracker sushi and the spicy edamame. Both were tasty and I keep coming back for more. I was somewhat surprised to see that the firecracker roll was $4 cheaper than what I thought it cost.
The longest I waited for a 2 seat table was 5 minutes, but of course, this can change on a busy day like on First Friday Arts Walk.
The service was excellent. My company was unsure about which saké to buy and we were given a few samples. A server returned about every 10-15 minutes to either refill our water glasses or ask if we were okay. We didn’t have to wait long to ask for the check when we were done, they were very consistent in checking in on us.
The area is a little small, but they did a good job in reducing the decor in favor of space. It just felt a little crowded regardless. So despite the noise not being too bad, we were close enough to other people where we had to raise our voices a little to be heard over them.
Over all, I will continue coming to this restaurant even though parking is a little hard to find in this area. I look forward to trying other things on the menu. As of the day of this review, this is my preferred sushi restaurant.

Excellent! The staff was very kind, restaurant was clean and had beautiful art up.
I had the lunch menu (served until 3), chicken Katsu with salad for $13 was great!
Large portion and chicken was cooked perfectly, had a wonderful crisp and tasty, tangy bbq sauce. Salad was modest with mixed greens and delicious ginger dressing.
Also ordered salmon nigiri which was fresh with had nice texture. Altogether a killer spot, can’t wait to come back!

This place is amazing! The food is excellent, the fish is so fresh, and their mochi ice cream is the best I’ve had in a long time. The staff was also incredibly friendly and accommodating of my disabled dad. Everyone was so kind and it made it even more of a delight to eat here. The prices are great, especially for the quality and the amount of food. Hands down the best chirashi I’ve had in Denver. My dad ordered the tempura dinner with shrimp and said it blows our usual place out of the water. I cannot recommend this place enough, you can’t go wrong!! After being there for not even twenty minutes I knew I’d be leaving this review afterwards. Shout out to Liam, thanks for holding the doors open for us 🙂

My family and I are visiting Dever for the first time. We are coming from California.
The sushi here is the greatest I’ve ever had. All of the fish was of the highest quality and was prepared to melt in your mouth. The menu is extremely diverse, ensuring that there is a dish for everyone.
The food here is prepared with the highest care, and quality ingredients that surpass all other restaurants. The owners are Very kind and family-friendly individuals. The staff was extremely hospitable, incredibly kind, helpful, and knowledgeable, and they were able to assist me in making a smart selection for an incredible eating adventure.
Finest sushi I’ve had in Denver. We truly adore coming here and absolutely return when I visit Denver.

I can’t remember the last time I left a food review. With that being said, Rocky Yama Sushi rocked the socks off of my very large feet. Even tho the wasabi burned a hole in my throat, the bukake fries blew my mind! Also, I gotta say, I have a special slot in my heart for a decent gluten free treat. Hide yo kids, hide yo wife, because you probably wouldn’t want to share food this good with anyone else. Namaste

Went because of the 4.7 on Google and did not disappoint. Special rolls, sushi/sashimi dinner, chicken Teriyaki for the teen. All was well above expectation and three of us walked out with leftovers for <30 each. Definitely our new casual but awesome sushi spot.
