    Rainbow roll
    Troy M.

    First time visit and it did not disappoint. The atmosphere inside was very clean and well decorated which was very nice. They have a Patio area that would been very enjoyable; however, it snowed the day before so not perfect for outside dining but would have if weather was better. Our server was very helpful and provided positive suggestions and was very honest about certain items we were inquiring about. We had the regular side salad which was perfect with a great dressing. The sushi rolls we ordered were the rainbow and sunset. Each had eight generous portions. We slo had some deep fried mushrooms off the happy hour menu. We also had a small portion of the snow crab roll which was two but a good size amount of crab legs. Well worth the price and we will be back to try some other recommendations and sit on the patio.

    Fantastic sushi. Really love the more traditional serving style, minimal "American" rolls (no cream cheese, fried, covered in sauce etc) which adds to the authentic flavor and feel. Super vibey spot, staff is attentive and hospitable. Our spread: spicy tuna crispy rice, Friday the 13th roll, rivers and streams roll, miso soup, king salmon nigiri and avocado nigiri, and the sweet ginger pot de creme (say that 5x). Everything was extraordinary tasty and fresh. The king salmon was like butter, I could've eaten at least 12 of them. Pot de crème was similar to a creme brulee, the toasted macadamia nuts were so good and added some great depth. 10/5 for taste and presentation of food. I would say 4.5 stars, taking away half a star because they didn't have any Wagyu and our waiter informed us that some equipment in the back was broken, and they keep saying it'll get fixed in a few days but hasn't. A little bummed because that burger sounded so delish.

    Friday The 13th roll/Hoki Poki Box roll

    First time at Bamboo Sushi and I really enjoyed most of the experience. It had a very chill ambiance inside and the staff were all friendly and accommodating. I will say it's in a busy area of town, so parking may be very frustrating in LoHi. For starters we got the edamame, spicy tuna crispy rice and spicy tuna hand rolls. All were great but the crispy rice was out of this world, definitely want to go back and try their other selections. Also got the table side fresh grated wasabi which had an excellent flavor to it. We got 3 rolls- The Friday the 13th roll, the Green Machine, and the Hoki Poki Box. The first two rolls mentioned were heavy dosed in sauce, which kind of killed the vibes but still had some decent flavor. The Hoki Poke Box was the star of the show, it was soooo good. Next time I go back to Bamboo, I'm going to either ask for less sauce on top of the rolls, or do some more research and choose rolls that are not drenched in sauce. I want to taste more sushi flavors going to a sushi restaurant personally. Something random but I'm still thinking about the hand soap in the bathrooms, too. Smelt so nice and we are considering getting some for the house as well.

    My husband and I shared: - Sparkling Yuzu Lemonade - Spicy Salmon Tartare - Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice - Garden of Eden Roll - Friday The 13th Roll - Green Machine Roll with Salmon I really enjoyed everything we ordered. The Green Machine roll was my favorite and you can never go wrong with crispy rice. The only downside was that they were out of several things we wanted to order which was disappointing. I would happily go back though!

    Bamboo sushi is one of our favs for sushi but this review is for the service! Our server Jorge (I think) was not friendly, rushed us and was borderline rude. I didn't feel comfortable as he kept peeking while I was paying the check and adding gratuity - it made the experience unpleasant. The host was sweet and friendly. We have always had a good experience at bamboo sushi and I am disappointed at my most recent experience here.

    Friday the 13th Roll
    Natalie T.

    I am always a sucker for trying new restaurants especially sushi. So when I noticed Bamboo was a place nearby, I had to try it! We came on a Tuesday night and it was quite busy! We didn't have a reservation but they took us quickly to table. It was a beautiful evening so we decided to sit on the patio which is very spacious. We got a lot to share but there were a few items that really stood out. I'm a spicy tuna crispy rice FAN so I had to order it when I saw it on the menu and it might've been the most solid one I've tried. The rice is indeed crispy and the spicy tuna is delicious and has a small kick to it My boyfriend ordered the Full Circle Roll and Green Machine Roll. I ordered the Friday the 13th roll. The full circle roll was honestly so good and unique. I really loved the crispy texture along with the watercress which made it so tasty. The green machine had this green sauce that was OUTSTANDING. It really made me say wow out loud. A roll that I will definitely get again. It is vegetarian but I'm sure you can ask for fish in it. The Friday the 13th roll was good! I liked it but wasn't anything too special. I think I would pass next time and try something new. We also got the Crispy Garlic Tofu and again, WOW. So flavorful and the texture was spot on. It's hard to find good tofu sometimes but this was great - and the sauce, chefs kiss. It's in LoHi and great area to walk around if you're looking for a good place to eat! Can't wait to come back and eat some more delicious sushi and tofu.

    Came here as a foursome and made a reservation the same day just a few hours in advance on a Sunday evening. The place is really cute, classy clean decor that matches the Japanese aesthetic. We were waiting for the other two in our party to show up, our server was honestly giving a bit of attitude, i won't air him out on here even though he did say his name. We were starving and he didn't even give us the opportunity to order anything, just said he would come back when the rest of our party arrived. We ended up flagging him down again to order something to hold us over. Throughout the meal he didn't come back to check on us, i got his attention to ask for some spicy Mayo and he dropped it with an attitude. The food was pretty good though, loved the rolls, we had the green machine, the Friday the 13th, and a salmon crispy rice. Green machine is really good & unique, the sauce is yummy. The Friday roll tastes so fresh, the fish smells good and is delicious. The crispy rice wasn't my favorite ever but not bad. Thanks for having us. will come back and try more rolls and hopefully sit with someone else!

    I ordered some sushi and tuna poke for a delivery and the serving size is ridiculous, i could count the very few tuna pieces in the poke. Taste good but presentation and serving size not worthy the money.

    Erin B.

    Delicious! The food was great, we did the setto and it was enough for 3 of us to split. The best roll is the green machine, the sauce on that roll is FANTASTIC! The service and ambiance were good. We'd definitely come back!

    We happened upon this place as we had met one of the sushi chefs and he told us to come by. We are happy we did. We sat at the bar and enjoyed very pleasant HH bites and a very well made martini. We will come back as we studied the menu and see there are many items we would come back for.

    Good overall experience. We sat at the sushi bar (we did not have a reservation) and we had enough space. The place was a bit loud. We split the crispy rice with spicy tuna which was amazing! We also got the Friday the 13th roll which was really good and also the Sunset roll, very good too. The service was decent. If you need a solid spot to go to, this is it. Not the most memorable.

    Our first time here and it was really good. We ordered several dishes and all shared. The price wasn't bad for everything we ordered either. My favorites would have to be the fish in a type of yuzu sauce and the breaded cauliflower. Their sushi was pretty good as well. We sat outdoors which was pleasant and our server was very kind and had good recommendations. I would probably come back to try more.

    Crispy sushi rice
    Will S.

    Truly, I hate giving out bad reviews. But, we've been here 3 times and truly the sushi just isn't good. I eat a lot of sushi and every time we've come here, the fish tastes just okay. We got 2 rolls, 2 crispy rice and salmon nigiri. The salmon nigiri is ALWAYS our favorite and we didn't finish them. Also I got the king crab nigiri and it was pretty fishy... I really don't have much else or bad things to say. Service is good and the crispy sushi rice was flavorful, although the texture of rice itself is kinda like a stale French fry. The place itself is vibey, and the menu is good. Maybe we've just continuously ordered the wrong thing? It has good ratings elsewhere so maybe I'm just missing something...

    While visiting Denver, my coworkers and I went to ChoLon downtown. It was restaurant week in Denver…read moreso the menu was limited but we still found a lot of items to try out. The chicken soup dumplings, pork potstickers, and the ice cream was all very good! I wasn't such a huge fan of the tufu pork belly noodles.

    If you've read my reviews before, you already know two things about me. I give honest feedback, and…read moreI cannot stand being served cold food. Lately it feels like a lot of restaurants are charging more while giving less, and it's getting harder to find places that actually care about the customer experience. Unfortunately, this was another one of those experiences. We ordered three side dishes and three drinks, and the bill came out to around $100. Two of the three sides were served cold, the dumplings at least came out hot, but they were pretty mediocre and nothing I'd order again and drinks were extremely over priced. The waitress was fine, no real issues there, but it did feel like the food may have been sitting in the kitchen too long before it hit the table even though the place was empty. At the end of the day, it's hard to justify paying that kind of money for cold, underwhelming food, then feeling awkward about the tip because the experience just wasn't good. I won't be back. If I had known this is what the experience was I would have definitely gone somewhere else. As an added bonus I felt like crap afterwords, I think it was because of poor quality ingredients. My aim in writing these reviews is to highlight the restaurants and businesses that truly take care of their customers, to give people a heads up about the ones that clearly do not prioritize quality or the customer experience, and to express myself in a world where it often feels like there is very little room to speak honestly about paying top dollar for mediocre experiences. Very disappointing.

    Uchi is dangerous for people like me…read more Not because of the raw fish. Because the place understands seduction. I've been eating at Uchi since it opened in Denver and today it still carries that same intoxicating balance of precision, warmth, swagger, and restraint. The room itself glows instead of shouts. Wood slats divide the dining room into little private theaters while the sushi counter hums with focused choreography. Expert hands moving constantly. Rice. Fish. Quiet communication. Tiny acts of discipline repeated hundreds of times a night. I sat down intending to have a civilized happy hour. That plan lasted maybe twelve minutes. The kurodai crudo arrived first. Gooseberry, leche de tigre, candied garlic. Bright, sharp, and alive. This is the kind of starter that wakes up your entire palate and you are reminded that you will absolutely be spending more money than originally intended. Next was the bincho temaki: cool albacore, kimchi, avocado, and a vividly garish orange sauce with some heat to keep the richness from becoming too much. Uchi understands something many restaurants don't: luxuriousness needs balance. Fatty fish without acid, spice, crunch, or brightness is palate exhaustion. And then one after another the deliciousness continued: the oysters were cold and perfect with cucumber, calamansi vinegar, and umeboshi. The day boat scallop nigiri nearly stopped time altogether. Just sweet scallops, rice, citrus, a little finishing salt. Incréable. Or whatever the French word is for "I briefly forgot my own name." And somewhere during martini number one, the staff adopted me. Apparently Uchi keeps notes on guests. Mine, I was told, says I'm "nice and a good eater," which may be the most flattering thing anyone has said to me in months. Suddenly more dishes started appearing. Gifted nigiri. Ikura glowing like little amber jewels (my favorite). A ridiculous and completely delicious carrot toro maki with green chili crunch and enough heat underneath the richness to make the whole thing flirt openly with your mouth. At one point the bartenders literally invented a "walu walu shot" on the fly just because the mood had drifted into improvisational chaos. This was somewhere between oyster shooter, seafood dare, and excellent bad decisions. Meanwhile, the guests next to me started talking to me and the entire energy of the evening shifted into communal sushi-bar joy. Suddenly we were all reacting to dishes, laughing, comparing bites, participating in the same ecosystem of salt, fish, alcohol, and temporary human connection. This is the real thing Uchi sells. Not merely sushi. Attention. Rhythm. Atmosphere. Memory. The feeling of being folded into a beautifully functioning machine dedicated entirely to pleasure. And yes, by the end I was emotional enough to remember being 20 years old eating sushi with an older woman named Alana who wore real fur and introduced me to this whole sensual adult world in the first place. That is what a martini and exceptional nigiri will do to a man. The final bill before tip was somehow only $141, which honestly feels mathematically impossible considering I briefly entered a spiritual relationship with the sushi counter. I tipped $50 because at that point we were basically family. Uchi remains one of the sexiest restaurants in Denver. Not performatively sexy. Not influencer sexy. Actually sexy. Confident. Observant. Generous. Precise. And just dangerous enough to make you order one more thing. Amazing dining experience.

    Absolutely delicious food, but laughable service…read more My wife and I were blown away by our meal. Everything we tried was amazing. Our bellies were full, satisfied, and we couldn't have asked for a better dinner. Walked in for dinner around 7:30pm on a weeknight. It was decently busy. We waited at the hostess stand. We waited and waited. A server walked by without acknowledging us. Another person walked by without acknowledging us. And yet another person walked by and guess what...didn't acknowledge us. Do we smell bad? Is this normal service around here? Who ignores people inside a restaurant? Imagine if someone walked into your house and wasn't greeted. Wouldn't that be odd? Admittedly, this is such a pet peeve of mine and my tolerance for it is zero. And because of this, your mind starts to wander. Oh, is it because they got a nod from Michelin? Are we not cool enough to be here? Are they a pretentious restaurant? Is my money not good enough? To be honest, I'm surprised we didn't walk out. We waited five full minutes until one of the three aforementioned employees came up to us. So the vibes were off for the entire meal, but as someone who can take a step back, the food was freaking phenomenal. SHUI JIAO - BEIJING STYLE DUMPLINGS ($15) // pork & cabbage boiled dumplings, house dumpling sauce. Dumpling sauce was what I imagine crack would taste like. These were the perfect starter. KKANPUNGGI - KOREAN FRIED CHICKEN ($23) // fried chicken, spicy garlic gochujang sauce served with thai jasmine rice and chinese smashed cucumber salad. Crunchy and crispy on the outside, yet tender and juicy on the inside. This was better than some places that specialize in KFC. No notes! MI XAO TOI - VIETNAMESE GARLIC NOODLE ($23) // shrimp, egg noodles, broccoli, vietnamese garlic butter sauce. My wife's dish, I only took a bite. She loved it and did her happy dance the whole time. My only criticism was it didn't really taste like Asian food. To be honest, it kind of tasted like an Italian noodle dish I'd make at home. Either way, happy wife happy life. They add a 6% kitchen fee to every bill. So yeah, there's that. Will we come back? Yes, because the food is absolutely delicious. It kind of annoys me how good it is considering the poor service we received. I'm not one to completely trash a place, I can look past my own internal bias. But damnit, can y'all just be more hospitable next time?

    Stop the clocks, sound the horns and release the hounds, a truly worthy restaurant was discovered…read morein Denver that should be celebrated. Uncle is a small, Asian fusion shrine that one should place on your must visit list. In the Northwest area of Denver, Uncle has limited seating and a show if you sit at the bar. Reservations are strongly suggested and well worth the wait. Crazy combinations, flavor bombs throughout and a culinary delight you won't regret. Tonight, we sat at the bar and watched the magic happen. These guys are cranking out amazing and delectable treats you won't forget. The Uncle salad was a great starter with charred cabbage, lemongrass, mint, cilantro, arugula, and peanuts lightly coated in a Thai coconut dressing. A slight burn only leaving you to crave just one more bite, ha! The fried soft shell crab in a bao bun with green papayo slaw, coconut mayo and cilantro nam prik was sweet, perfect crunch and memorable. Two for two with one dish left. The cold spicy sesame noodles with seasoned chicken, granny Smith apple slivers, arugula, cashews and nanami togorashi, a perfect closing dish for an exceptional meal. The service, food quality, flavors and preformance from the bar seats were second to none. The concept, portion size, flavor and cost were a real treat in the big city food scene of Denver. If you haven't been here yet, get to the internet and book a table, I promise you won't regret it. To the staff, chefs, and all members of Uncle, thank you for a surprising and incredibly great meal, we will return on our future trips to Denver.

    Delicious, fresh Ramen. Yummy al dente noodles and clean flavors. We also got some sushi, which was…read morepretty good considering this is a Ramen spot, a little too heavy handed on the sauces or oils, but the rice was also very delicious. Had one cocktail that was very good. Reminded me of a cherry cola. Service was excellent, people were always at our table, picking up dishes, asking if we needed anything further. Would definitely go back again. We want to try some of the other flavors of Ramen.
