Ringing in my birthday with some sushi
Nina C.

Came here for a quiet date night and was happy to see they closed a little later than many other places in the area. We walked in at almost 9 PM and decided to sit at the sushi bar, it was clean and inviting, there were only a couple of other people there. The server was super attentive, greeting us instantly, answering all my questions and giving some much needed recommendations We decided to start with the spicy edamame. I also asked her to bring out a side of the garlic dipping sauce, normally served with a different appetizer. It was really good and fresh, not really spicy, but still yummy We decided to split a few rolls, one I can't remember the name of, but the Kiss of fire was really good, genuinely spicy with the jalapeño on top. My favorite was the snow on the mountain - the different flavors and textures paired so well together. Everything was super fresh and the ingredients were authentic. Prices are not bad at all, most rolls around $20. Would totally come back.

Decent sushi and quick friendly service. Nothing fancy but everything tasted fresh and we food happhour hand rolls and appetizers- tempura was a little greasy and the crab cheese wontons were all cream cheese.

Chirashi Bowl *
Chris Brewer

This might have been the best fish I've had in Denver so far. I have a gluten sensitivity and they had tamari sauce (gluten free soy sauce alternative) so I knew we were in good hands. I got the Chirashi Bowl and my husband got the sashimi regular. Service was quick and our waitress was very nice. The restaurant was clean and simple.

Cherry pop roll

Great ambiance when you enter. See photos. They're actually open on Sundays even though the sign says otherwise. The sushi in one word, AWESOME!!!!! I tried the low carb rolls and they used cucumber as the wrap with no rice. The Lollipop roll was my favorite by far. I've never had sushi like that. The Denver bomb was great too but not quite as good. Service was top notch as well. My only negative was the cost. It thought it was a little pricey.

Sashimi entree, spicy tuna roll, Yama roll
Sydney E.

I was craving sushi and decided to pop into Aki with my husband one afternoon. The interior is elevated but with a casual vibe. We noticed that they have happy hour everyday which is a nice option. We were greeted immediately and ordered a Sapporo and purple sake. I need to mention that I just adored the stackable set the sake is served in. We started with shumai and it was so fluffy and crispy. My husband ordered the sashimi entree and I ordered the Yama roll with a spicy tuna. We had the miso soup which had so much umami. The sashimi entree comes with soup and salad and I tried some of the salad. The dressing was so flavorful and creamy you could tell it was house made. I've been to places before that unfortunately use bottled dressing and it's a huge difference. My sushi had perfectly cooked and seasoned rice. The fish on the entree was so fresh, it melted in your mouth. I wanted to get dessert, but we were so full afterward, the portions are very generous!

Sushi Regular

Walked in for lunch. Was seated right away. Ordered the sushi regular and was very good. The toro nigiri was fresh and very good. The pink lady roll was very good. Definitely a go-to for casual sushi dining.

House salad

It was one of those nights: visit at Swedish hospital for an entire day and the only place still opened at night that was nearby was Aki Sushi. Parking was plenty to the side of the building and we entered from the back. As soon as we walked in we felt welcomed. And although we didn't order a whole lot, we finished everything! House salad was refreshing and it woke me up like a cup of coffee which I wouldn't have at night! Fantastic Dragon Roll was fantastic! Hubby knows how much I like good imitation crab, sometimes even more than real crab, lol. This role was doused in shreds of them, I was so happy! The Seafood ramen almost sent us to an argument. I thought he was going to get the traditional ramen, you know, the kind with a marinated egg and pork belly, in a thick creamy soup. But he went for the seafood option thinking that's what I wanted! As soon as we tasted it, though, both of us shut up. It was pretty hearty, and well flavored. It warmed up my body and mind after a long day of at an unpleasant setting. For this, I'll forever remember Aki Sushi!

Spider-Man Roll & 3484 Roll
Doen L.

Came here for a casual date night and had a great time! There's a back parking lot for this restaurant. Because we live in a landlocked state, sushi is not usually a go-to for me. However, I would go back to this spot! There's a lot on the menu to choose from. The service was good and we were seated quickly.

Tuna sashimi appetizer
Magda C.

Decent sized rolls however I didn't like they put sauces on top of them. The appetizers were tasty and prices are average, definitely they use fresh fish.

8 Pieces Black Dragon Roll
Brooklyn F.

The only good sushi spot I have found since moving from Portland a year ago- it's hard to find a balance out here in the mountains between super high priced fish (from being flown in) and fish that is not too old. This place is good ! Worth going to.

We travel to Denver once a year (Alaskan, and BIG SUSHI lovers) and always try new sushi spots when we arrive. This year we stumbled upon a Reddit post for "best food in Denver 2024" and Aki Sushi was mentioned multiple times by multiple redditors who said that no other sushi spot has held up since trying Aki, it's the best they had. I have to say, they were right. We can't believe how amazing it was. The sashimi was so fresh, so flavorful, so tender it was like biting into soft buttery heaven. The speciality rolls were perfect as well, it was just an incredible experience. We joked we don't know if we can try other sushi places now since it has always been a risk/reward chance before, but finding what feels like the holy grail.... Why keep looking? 5 stars, hands down.

Makizushico - Mango Roll and Nikumaki Roll

If you've been following my reviews, you know that my wife and I have been on the hunt for a REALLY…read moregood spicy tuna roll. Naturally, when we came across Makizushico, we knew we needed to give it a try. The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated, and our server was incredibly kind. I will note that this place was BUSY. There was quite a wait, and we were fortunate enough to snag a seat, so I would definitely keep that in mind when planning a visit. We ordered the Spicy Tuna Roll, Tuna Roll, and Rock N Roll. Spicy Tuna Roll (6/10) - While the flavor was delicious and the presentation was beautiful, it still wasn't quite the spicy tuna roll we've been searching for. I enjoy a spicy tuna roll that really carries some heat alongside the flavor, and this one leaned a bit more toward the subtle side for my preference. Rock N Roll (5/10) - The ingredients were fresh, which I appreciated, but I found myself wanting quite a bit more flavor from this roll. It wasn't necessarily bad, just not something that stood out to me. Tuna Roll (8/10) - A good take on a classic tuna roll. The fish was fresh, and the overall execution was good. Nothing overly complicated, but certainly enjoyable. Overall, the quality of the ingredients was evident, and I really enjoyed the atmosphere and service. While we are still on our quest for the perfect spicy tuna roll, I wouldn't mind returning and exploring a few other options.

Really enjoyed my dining experience here! The service was excellent, I'm sorry I forgot our…read moreserver's name but he did a great job of checking in on us frequently while not being overbearing. We tried the shishito peppers starter, hamachi and apple starter, the makizushico specialty roll, the spicy scallop roll and a salmon roll. Out of those I think my favorite was the spicy scallop roll, the scallop tasted fresh and delicious. Also loved the decor and ambiance inside which was Japanese minimalist but also warm and inviting. I will definitely come here again! I do recommend making reservations bc I have tried to come here without one and was turned away bc they were completely booked. However, on the night I dined here (a Saturday night) they did have quite a few empty and available tables.

I ordered the heart attack roll, it came out 20 minutes after everything else to the point we thought it had been forgotten. It is important to note this is advertised as an "appetizer roll". We had already finished everything by the time it came out. It was very bland. Our server forgot 2 separate items we asked for, even after we asked again. We were the only ones in there - how could you forget? I also ordered the vegetarian fried rice, but it had chicken in it. The rice was clearly old. The soy sauce on the table was empty. They were nice, though. Everything was clean. Miso soup was good. Sweet and sour soup was good. But everything else was inedible and abysmal. Surprised by the really good reviews, but overall just terrible. Will not be back. Will not recommend.
