Top Best Japanese Restaurants in Highlands Ranch

"While Sushi Den, Denver’s foremost pioneer of Japanese food, remains closed to all but takeout customers for the time being, its adjacent sibling Izakaya Den offers a similar menu in its more spacious, serenely appointed dining rooms upstairs and down. The list of specials is always the best place to start a meal here, featuring seafood from as far as Scotland, Croatia, and Greece as well as Japan; the banana cream pie, believe it or not, is always the best place to end."

"A sister restaurant to Sushi Den, Izakaya Den is another sushi restaurant in Denver that serves sushi, traditional Japanese fare and Japanese fusion dishes too. This restaurant will please a variety of palettes, even those who aren’t interested in sushi dishes at all. From tapas plates to sushi to udon, you’ll want to try something new every time you visit this sushi spot."

"Izakaya Den, a sushi bar and Japanese spot in Platt Park, is another much-loved go-to, with 4.5 stars out of 460 Yelp reviews. Head over to 1487 S. Pearl St. to see for yourself."

"Since the day this jaw-dropping, awe-inspiring shrine to Japanese cuisine opened in 1985 in Platt Park, diners have waxed poetic, often waiting for hours on the sidewalk to snag a coveted seat in the stunningly appointed space. And it’s easy to see why: Owners and brothers Yasu and Toshi Kizaki source impeccably fresh fish from Japan and then masterfully create painterly mosaics that are as breathtaking to eat as they are to ogle. If you can score stools at the sushi bar, you’ll get dinner and spectacular knife skill theatrics."

"Pearl St. With 4.5 stars out of 1,776 reviews on Yelp, the sushi bar, bar and Japanese spot has proved to be a local favorite."

"Nobu Matsuhisa, one of the world’s most sought after sultans of sushi and sashimi, recently opened a Denver outpost of his New York-based flagship. The Cherry Creek showstopper, tricked out with stone accents, reclaimed teak, Japanese cut-out screens and a 14-seat sushi bar, parades beautifully displayed slivers of fresh fish, coupled with five styles of Wagyu beef preparations, lobster tacos, lamb chops, noodles and more. The voluminous wine list is nothing short of epic."

"When none other than world-renowned chef Nobu Matushisa brought his brand of luxe Japanese cuisine to Cherry Creek, the hype was huge and the reviews were rave. Both continue to be earned: Against a hip, loungelike backdrop, the splurges keep coming — among them uni shooters, crab-claw or rock-shrimp tempura, and Nobu’s famous new-style sashimi as well as a sushi selection ranging from abalone nigiri to yellowtail-okra rolls."

"If you live in Wash Park, you already know about Taki Sushi. Japanese Fusion Cuisine at its finest, packaged in a little joint. Don't let its small exterior fool you."

"Bayaud Ave. in Southwest Denver, the sushi bar is the highest-rated Japanese restaurant in Denver, boasting 4.5 stars out of 529 reviews on Yelp."

"This Japanese restaurant knows how to prepare sushi, and with over 100 options available, the menu offers plenty of choices with fish, seaweed, eel, or avocado on the outside; try whole fried rolls; or opt for a low-carb selection, made without rice. Some are expensive and adventurous, like the Roll in the Hay including salmon and smelt roe, quail egg and wiggly sea urchin.

"Ted Van Orman launches his bike off a ramp while doing a test run at the new Ruby Hill Bike Park in Denver, Colorado on May 31, 2016. The full extent of this hilltop gem’s improvements will not be visible for another year or two, but already a new $1 million mountain bike track and playground have joined what Denver parks officials have called one of the city’s most underused public spaces. Sitting next to the South Platte River Greenway, the 360-degree views and amenities (including a “Rail Yard” snowboard terrain park) make Ruby Hill Park one of Denver’s most versatile."
