Sushi den

I agree 100%. It's in a terrific location for dates too, assuming it's a nice evening to walk outside.



Great tip, thanks! We will try Yume soon if it's cheaper! Ooka certainly isn't cheap.

I have never had Ooka sushi. But Zoe sushi is great. It's in broomfield off of 120th by Home Depot. Would highly recommend it! Love me some raw fish.

Wes, you have no idea what you're missing.

First place I ever had sushi was at Sushi One in Greeley, CO of all places. Good sushi if you're in Greeley and looking for some.

I spent 4 years on the coast and had fish fresh off the boat everyday . . . and FRESH makes all the difference with sashimi and sushi. Colorado is landlocked, and as far as I know only 2 restaurants get fresh fish flown in daily: Sushi Den and John Holly's.

Sushi must be deep frozen to kill germs. I know for the fact both John holy and sushi den do it too.

In the Springs, I recommend Mobo on the NE corner of Vickers and Academy - behind Sonic in the corner of the strip center.

Not only is their food amazing, the owners/operators, Kevin and Susie, are great people - they will make anything you like. Their son just joined the Navy and is serving in San Diego, while their daughter is pursuing her criminal justice degree in Georgia after completing an internship at CSPD.
Great immigrant family truly living the American dream.

Also, check out Kohnami Sushi in the Springs. I've been in and simply talked about things I like and they whip up something special, totally off menu for me!

Have not heard of either of these places we will deffo check em out!!!

The health department says they need to be "flash frozen", and you're correct that most places do. Traditionally, it isn't done, and on the coast with salt water fish it often isn't. That's mostly for freshwater fish, like salmon, to kill tapeworm cysts. Tapeworms usually stay in the intestinal tract, but they can migrate to other organs like the lungs and brain. Health department also says that the fish needs to be kept at a certain temperature, but for the portions being prepared and served that day the fish needs to be warmer or the taste is off. That is the most common violation for sushi restaurants, and everyone gets dinged for that. I cannot say for sure if Sushi Den and John Holly's is flash frozen, deep frozen, or pre-frozen, but I do know they get shipments daily and it tastes fresher than anywhere else in Denver.

I prefer Sushi Sasa for sushi in the highlands. Sushi Bay isn't bad for a cheaper option. Big pieces of fish. Only 2 places I'll go for sushi in the Highland area. Tried to like Sushi Hai, just always leave disappointed.

Hapa isn't bad for rolls, but I prefer sashimi.

All 3 of the boulder places get daily fish. I've seen the delivers.

Sushi Zanmi, Japan and japango

I recommend a meet/greet at a sushi restaurant in NoCo in the near future. Anyone interested?

[Firehaus]

I'm in.
