Best sushi in Westminster and North Denver! The fish was incredibly fresh, the sushi was beautifully presented, and every dish was full of flavor. The restaurant is modern, clean, and has a great atmosphere. The staff was friendly and attentive. Definitely one of my favorite sushi restaurants in Colorado. Highly recommend! read more

Tried the nigiri omakase today and it was fantastic. I'm from california, so im a bit picky with my sushi spots since moving here. I've done omakase a lot, and i'd have to say this was one of my favorites. Value - 12 nigiri + roll + soup/salad for $68 is honestly so well priced. Sushi in colorado is sooo expensive. Each piece was a good size, and each one was unique with different toppings. I think that's what surprised me the most. I love sashimi and also love having just sushi rice + fish to enjoy the fish itself. But the toppings complemented the fish well, and i really enjoyed the flavor combinations. Hard not to enjoy when it's being topped with things like ikura, caviar, or truffle. The only critique I have is that the food was coming out kind of quick. I'm also in the top decile of slow eaters, so take that with a grain of salt. Normal paced eaters probably wouldn't have issues with the pace of food. I did come before the dinner rush, but service was great. The restaurant definitely seemed to fill up more at the end of my meal. I did see one review mentioning them playing songs with ads and seems like they fixed that. Didn't notice that today but do wish they played some sports on the tv, but that's just my personal preference. Overall, great experience. Will definitely be back read more

Asaka Sushi - Sushi and sashimi appetizers and clam miso soup. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Westminster, Colorado

The best sushi in Colorado. Maybe even the United States. I'm not exaggerating when I say this might be the best sushi restaurant I've ever been to. I honestly feel like even if I make it to Tokyo someday, this place might still be better. I'm a returning customer and come here probably once a week. That's how much I love this place. It's genuinely worth it every single time. Tony, the head sushi chef, is an absolute legend. He's one of my favorite people on this planet and, in my opinion, one of the best sushi chefs in the world. The level of care, skill, creativity, and passion he puts into every piece of sushi is something you don't experience very often. The fish is flown in fresh every single day, and you can taste the difference. Everything is incredibly fresh, beautifully prepared, and thoughtfully put together. You can tell Tony genuinely cares about the quality of every single piece he serves. This is their second location, and I've been to both. Both locations are amazing. You really can't go wrong with either one. If you love sushi, you need to come here. If you think you've had great sushi before, come here and let Tony change your mind. 100/10. One of my favorite restaurants anywhere. I'll keep coming back every week. read more

I stopped in for lunch and had a really enjoyable experience overall. Right away I was served a complimentary amuse-bouche, which was a nice touch. It was a citrusy tuna dish with mandarin oranges and microgreens. The citrus sauce was bright and flavorful, and the mandarin oranges added a refreshing sweetness that paired really well with the dish. My only criticism was that the tuna itself wasn't quite as fresh as I've had elsewhere. I also ordered the spicy edamame. The seasoning had fantastic flavor, and the spice built gradually, leaving a nice lingering heat without being overwhelming. The only downside was that it was absolutely drenched in sauce. The sauce itself was delicious, but there was so much of it that the edamame became a bit soggy. Cutting the sauce back would make this dish even better. For sushi, I ordered the I-25 Roll and the Spicy Scallop Hand Roll. The I-25 Roll had a great balance of flavors, and the sauce complemented the fish without overpowering it. The fish-to-rice ratio was spot on, but similar to the amuse-bouche, I didn't think the fish was quite as fresh as I'd hoped. I'd put this roll around a 3.5/5. The Spicy Scallop Hand Roll completely stole the show. The spicy kewpie-style mayo was perfectly balanced, adding just enough richness and heat without overwhelming the scallops. I also appreciated that the filling was evenly distributed from the first bite to the last--no ending with a cone full of plain rice and seaweed. Honestly, it's one of the best scallop hand rolls I've had at any sushi restaurant. The scallops were spot on, and if I come back, I'll probably make it a point to try every scallop roll on the menu. The service was excellent throughout my visit. Everyone was attentive, my food came out quickly, and I never felt like I was waiting on anything. I visited during lunch, so it wasn't particularly busy, but the sushi chefs worked efficiently and everything arrived promptly. The restaurant itself is beautiful. It's clean, modern, and thoughtfully designed with comfortable booths and a really inviting sushi bar in the center that would make a great spot for drinks or a casual date night. Overall, I'd give Asaka Sushi 4 stars. The presentation, service, atmosphere, and flavor combinations were all excellent. My only consistent criticism was that the fish on a couple of dishes didn't taste quite as fresh as I'd hoped. That said, the Spicy Scallop Hand Roll alone is worth coming back for, and I'm already looking forward to trying more of their scallop rolls on my next visit. read more

Asaka Sushi - Amuse-bouche - Sushi Bars Near Me - Westminster, Colorado

Super excited for Asaka opening a location in Thornton! I've been going to their Centennial location; however, it is a little of a drive for me. I finally got to try them and was not disappointed! In fact, I enjoyed it more than the Centennial location. Plenty of seating, super friendly staff, and the food was on point! They have several booth seating and it's very cozy. This will be my new go-to place for sushi read more

Well, at first try, it looks like this place might make it. The prices are not stupid so far, the sushi was fresh, although the portions were a bit on the smaller side, but not so small that they were laughable. They have some unique dishes that were delicious. The Shiso Scallop is two scallops served on a deep fried piece of Shiso leaf with special sauce. Tasted like deliciousness on a chip! So delicious. A decent deal for $8, considering what goes into them. The sashimi appetizers are a decent deal, although a bit on the small side portion wise. The Asaka roll is a citrusy delight with lots of fresh flavors. That was a favorite. The service started out great, but tapered off and left us with empty water glasses and needing attention towards the later part of the meal. Not a huge deal though. The restaurant has great ambience and is super modern. The bathrooms are clean and they have sinks that you actually turn on instead of waving your hand underneath and waiting two years for water to come out. The paper towels are in a normal dispenser and the soap is good. We are fans of other sushi restaurants in the area, but we will be back here to give this one a second try. read more

Food 10/10 Ambiance 8/10 Love everything about this place! Fresh fish. Delicious food. Nigiri/sushi rolls are so flavorful- you do not need soy sauce! Clean restrooms. Beautiful and modern interior. Fast friendly service. The music was great (chill house). HOWEVER, they are using YouTube WITH ADS for their music!! It is so jarring and distracting to have a conversation when the chill ambient music is interrupted by a pharmaceutical ad warning that their drug can cause diarrhea or constipation. That's not what I want to hear while eating dinner. This is the best sushi in the north Denver metro area. Food is excellent. But the ambiance could be better. (Suggestion-Just pay for YouTube premium with no ads! Or use another ad free music service). read more

This might just be the best sushi spot in North Denver! We went on day 3 of their soft opening and were treated with edamame and a jalapeño yellowtail appetizer. As others posted, the fish was fresh and the presentation was beautiful. Great atmosphere, modern feel and friendly staff. We sat at the sushi counter and Chef Tony was fantastic. Highly recommend the seared Toro with toro topper. We will be back for sure. read more
