An amazing sushi place we discovered while visiting Denver. This place is tucked away and has some of the best sushi we have ever had! The service and owners were very kind and gave us recommendations including our choice of sake and sushi. The atmosphere is great and feels very authentic. The prices are also completely reasonable. Check this place out, you will not regret it! read more

The absolute WORST service I have ever encountered at any restaurant. Busy Friday night, a few people waiting, but every table except one was taken. I assume that table was for a reservation as many people came in but were never seated there. We were asked if we had a reservation and said no. Mind you, nowhere on their website stated that a reservation was ever even recommended, much less required. We were told the wait wouldn't be too long so we agreed to hang out. Myself, my wife, and two other people all waiting in line. Another family barged in front of the whole queue and sat on the bench up front immediately after two patrons, who were there when we got there, were seated. They sat on the bench and were there for maybe 2 minutes before they were seated. The guy up front skipped over us and sat them instead. Great. That was super nice of them. Another employee caught this error and apologized to us, stated we would be next. We agree to keep waiting. About 10 minutes pass and more people keep showing up and waiting. One couple show up and hang out at the front ahead of the queue. I already knew what was going to happen. Sure enough, as soon as a table was cleared down, they were immediately sat down ahead of us, AGAIN. I stormed out from anger and frustration at that point. My wife was stopped by an employee and was told that they had a reservation and they "promised" we were next. Too little too late at that point. If they had a reservation, why were they not sat at that booth that was empty the entire night?! Who was that booth reserved for?? Some A-list actor?? Needless to say, we won't ever be going back. I assume the food is really good but I'll never know. Please be aware that if you decide to go on a super busy night, call and make a reservation but even then, they will probably still sit other people in whatever order they choose. read more

The restaurant is very clean!! We ordered three rolls and yellowtail and two lunch special shrimp tempura as well as chicken Japanese fried rice and the bill came to $90 which is so impressive!! This would easily cost double in our states! The quality was very good and fresh! I service was also very good! Definitely kid friendly! I would highly recommend this place! Great sushi! read more

A friend recommended this place and wow, we were super impressed with the quality!! We went during happy hour and got amazing sushi for an amazing price and will definitely be back to try all the selections of nigiri they have. My favorite from the nigiri chefs selection was the albacore + truffle - only because I've never had anything like that before! But every.single.piece. was delicious. And the fresh wasabi on top just hit the spot. The Rocky Mountain roll was amazing as well - a good filler option! read more

Asaka used to be our favorite place to go and honestly, I would probably still choose this place over the majority mid price sushi joints. Unfortunately there was a change in the rice that really was off putting. It's no longer the traditional white rice but a mixture of brown rice? Correct me if I'm wrong but it's not the correct texture. Because of this the nigiri and the rolls easily fall apart which makes for a less appealing bite. Good thing is the fish is always fresh and you can't beat the price for their standard omkase. We love this small and cozy place but just wish they'd go back to what they were using before. read more

This is now my favorite sushi place ! The sushi is delicious and the portions are large ! Highly recommended! read more

This restaurant is fine. Will I go again? I am not certain.. The location is fine. The service is ok. Ambience alright.. The food.. hmm.. this is the problem.. If you are offering sushi or sashimi, the fish better be good.. Fish need to be fresh.. For that reason, I won't go again.... read more

Just gave birth and parents were in town. They told us to go out for lunch for my birthday while they watched the baby. Decided to go just a tad over our budget and did their lunch omakase. It was amazing! Asaka sushi is one my favorite sushi restaurants in the area. Love their happy hour deals, and that you can order sweet potato tempura. Every visit, the fish always amazes me. It just tastes so fresh, and the price point is good too. Service is good as well. Definitely a hidden gem! read more

I always go back to Asaka sushi when I am in town. Their sushi is fresh and they have some remarkable rolls. This time we shared the Asaka roll, which has a variety of fish. It is truly amazing and has such wonderful flavor! Wait staff was a little inattentive this visit, considering the restaurant was not full. But, I still recommend Asaka Sushi highly and look forward to my next trip! read more

This was my third time dining in. I try to visit whenever I'm in the Park Meadows area. I can exactly at 11 as they opened and was seated immediately. Service is and has always been amazing. I ordered a few items off their happy hour menu that happens everyday even during lunch hours. As excited I was to see their happy hour menu, I was hoping to see their lunch sushi menu. I ordered their salmon and yellowtail nigiri and I honestly was so surprised by the taste. It reminded me of Uchi. The restaurant it self isn't the biggest, I love how quiet it is and it's kid friendly. It's an overall great atmosphere. I need to come back to check out their dinner menu. . read more

STUNNINGLY EXCELLENT Sashimi! WOW! Omikase Sashimi did not disappoint. Huge slabs of phenomenal premium cuts. It blew me away how superb this place is. Strong recommendations for all the staff and chefs! Fresh wasabi is always a tell for superior sushi and Asaki delivered nothing short of spectacular. read more

In my opinion, this is the best Japanese restaurant in Colorado. The sushi is a pretty big step up from sushi den, get the premium omakase and be transported straight to a Michelin star sushi bar in Tokyo. Even their hot dishes are exceptional and authentic. My wife was absolutely crying in pleasure eating this house udon. The fried rice was excellent as well. Currently a hidden gem but I doubt it will be for much longer. read more

Asaka Sushi - Udon - my wife cried in joy eating this - Sushi Bars Near Me - Centennial, Colorado

I was in the area and thought to celebrate my teaching Spring Break by treating myself to some lunch special sushi. This place came highly recommended on Yelp, so I figured I'd give it a try. Asaka has a calm ambiance; quiet pop music plays in the background. I had a seat at the bar and ordered the Spider Roll ($10.5 HH deal) and a glass of the house Chardonnay ($6.5 HH deal). They threw in a complimentary Miso Soup (YUM). While the sushi rolls are large and flavorful, I found it hard to enjoy to the fullest as it continuously fell apart. Although most others have commented on the low-rice-to-high-fish ratio, I noticed the opposite on my rolls. I didn't really mind it due to the good taste, though. I teach in the area so I possibly would stop back in. The service was lovely - it was nice being surrounded by pleasant and attentive humans today. read more

My favorite sushi place! The sushi is delicious and the staff is both quick and friendly. They are always very accommodating of allergies and I've never had any problems! The inside is nice and they have sports and fun cooking videos on the tvs to watch! read more

Food and service are both great! My wife and I eat there at least weekly. I highly recommend giving them a try.

Visited for the second time... very consistent! Great food, fresh fish! good service. Will be back again soon.

I never make reviews at restaurants but I woke up this morning after getting take out last night from Asaka still thinking about my food!!!! I have been here several times and it is the BEST sushi restaurant in the Denver area. I always order Salmon Nigiri and Tuna Avocado. Not only do they give generous cuts of fish, but it is the freshest I have had at such a great price. Do not look elsewhere if you are looking for incredible sushi! read more

I hesitate to write a review as I feel this is a well kept secret gem. We have been 3 times. It is our must visit when our friends visit from out of town. The sushi and rolls are tasty and well prepared. We have had some excellent fish such as aji sashimi. They have GF options and soy sauce. The service is excellent and attentive. The cost is not out of line for good Japanese. We have never left hungry. It is tucked away in a shopping area, so GPS may say you have arrived before you have. Keep heading toward I 25 part of lot. read more

I went there yesterday with my husband and child after a Costco run. We found the closest sushi place on yelp with decent reviews. The moment you open the door it stinks like old fish... that was the sign for me to turn around but it was like 2 and I didn't have lunch yet so we decided to sit down . We ordered four rolls, tempura and agedashi tofu. The cooked foods were fine but when the raw fish came out ... they looked old and sad. I ate four pieces and just couldn't eat anymore. Well! I came home and lo and behold started having intense stomach cramps and nausea... still in bed the next morning writing this. Don't risk it! read more

Man this place is incredibly delicious!! Highly recommend. I was sooooo full but did not want to stop eating. There was 3 of us, and we managed to finish... 5 rolls? Filling and satisfying! Service was great. Food did not take long to come out at all considering how busy it was (dinner time). Can I recommend putting lime and jalapeños in your soy sauce? I can't wait to come back! There are so many rolls I want to try. My favorite one this time around was the Seared Salmon Special Roll with shrimp tempura, spicy scallop, crabmeat inside, topped with avocado, seared salmon, green onion, masago and spicy ponzu sauce. YUM. read more

Some of the best sushi I've had in awhile. The nigiri pieces are big and delicious. I was admiring the deep red of my seared tuna nigiri for a few minutes before I dove in. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in the area. read more

Came here for happy hour and it was delicious! We thought the service was great and helpful to explain the happy hour selections. We ordered a couple of rolls and each of them were so good, the star was the salmon nigiri though. My husband and I are still talking about it because I'm not a huge raw salmon person but I would definitely get my own order next time . The prices for happy hour are great- overall had a great experience and will definitely be coming back soon! read more

From the moment I walked in the two staff members were rude, unfriendly and unhelpful. And not just to me, I watched their interactions with everyone that walked in, all very dry and unresponsive. I walked in, they stared at me so I said 2. The girls waved her arm to the tables near the window. I assumed she wanted me to sit there, so I did. The guy brought over waters and silverware but out them on the opposite side of the table I was at, so I had to reach all the way over for these items. Why couldn't he put them in front of me??? I placed my order, they forgot one roll, I was nervous to say anything since earlier I asked for napkins and got the biggest huff and eye roll. The food was decent but good enough to put up with being treated horribly. Will not be back. read more

Fresh sushi and reasonably priced (happy hour is from 11am to 4pm)! Ordered to-go -- shrimp tempura, seaweed salad, spicy salmon and spicy tuna rolls and Lisa Lisa sushi roll! Every single piece of sushi was absolutely deliicious! The young girl who took my order was efficient, organized and meticulous. She had a check list to make sure that my order was accurately filled. Thank you!!! I would eat in the restaurant the next time I visit. It is very clean and a quiet place to eat, love it!!! read more

I love this spot for sushi . I can be super judgey about my sushi, and this is one of the only places I will go. It is so fresh, the service is wonderful, and it's pretty easy to get in and out which I appreciate sometimes. The ambience is that of a neighborhood spot, so idk if it would be good for a nighttime date, only because I have ever eaten lunch here. I even enjoy ordering from Grubhub etc because they package it well. You won't be disappointed coming here. read more

Ordered take out from here and that process was pretty straightforward except I didn't get an email confirmation so I was a little confused on whether they received my order or not. I got the salmon lemon roll and salmon king roll (both cost $14) which were both okay but I felt like they needed some crunch like tempura flakes or something as both were really soft. The rolls itself were pretty tiny compared to other sushi places I've been before so I don't think it was worth the price but the flavor itself was pretty good. Also I think there was a dead gnat on one of my pieces (not pictured) which is why I docked another star. Overall I think it was okay (due to size to price ratio and the dead gnat) but it may be a different experience in person if I go back again once day to try different rolls. read more

The food was amazing. The sushi is high-quality. The service is amazing. I couldn't name a better sushi restaurant.

Very friendly staff and the food was super fresh! They use actual crab in the rolls and the fish / squid is all well kept and very fresh. My son and I walked in at 9pm (they close at 10pm on Saturday) and the place was empty. The staff used this as an opportunity to make a very good impression offering us complimentary miso soup as well as slowed us to taste the Takoyaki which is an octopus appetizer (see picture). It was different but fresh and delicious. We sat at the sushi bar and saw both of our rolls made right in front of us which was neat. They talked us through every dish explaining ingredients we were unfamiliar with so we learned a lot as well. As far as drinks - The sake is strong but good. They offer traditional Japanese beer as well as a few American options. Overall amazing service, amazing food. We will be back. :) read more
