We decided to try this location, very spacious on the inside, and clean. The staff is very friendly. The only downside is that there is no designated parking area to dine here so be careful where you park! There is paid parking. I love how they have the AYCE options, and they have offer lunch and dinner specials. Our go to is the supreme, they have so many meat options, from beef, chicken, and pork, and shellfish options too! We love the marinate sweet soy and miso! The meat are fresh and always so good! They have other menu options as well, garlic noodles, salads, gyozas! So much to choose from! Definitely come with an empty stomach, love coming here, definitely recommend trying it!

It had lots of options to choose from. We ordered a lot and the quality of the meat was pretty good! The marinated meats were really good too. Spicy pork is always a favorite, but the shrimp was really good too! The mushrooms were delicious and so was the cold tofu. The service was great. Our server was so attentive and knowledgeable. She made the first time experience for my friends effortless and less confusing. They were out of cucumbers and avocados though so that kind of sucked. Not a big deal though. The meal was great and we had a lovely time. Oh and they had 2$ Sapporo! Your first 3 were 2$ I think. So good from the tap! It got pretty busy after we got there but it didn't feel too crowded or overly loud. A great experience, go try it!

I'm familiar with the Nobu chain of restaurants and understood that this would be similar. We were…read morea party of four that were celebrating a birthday. We ordered Omakase style. Some of courses were delicious and some were mediocre. We spent almost $700 for a party of four. The situation that needs the most improvement was the pace of the meal. The courses were separated by a 20-30-minute wait time. Considering that the courses were very small and contained 5-6 pieces for a party of four... that equates to a little more than a small bite every 20-30 minutes. The dinner took 2.5 hours to develop, and we were honestly still hungry by the end. The waiter started asking us if were "still hungry" at about the fifth courses. By the end, we felt awkward in asking for more. The wagyu beef was particularly disappointing as the beef was somewhat chewy, lacking taste and small. Waiters seemed to be near their capacity of workload. Didn't really take the time to serve, walk you thru the menus, keep the service moving or even gauge your level of satisfaction. We ordered dessert to celebrate the birthday. Apart from a small chocolate plaque on the dessert that said, "happy birthday", there was no attempt to celebrate the occasion as other less exclusive restaurants do... no "happy birthday" wish, no courtesy dessert... nothing special. The best part of this meal was by far, the young couple that accompanied us. Friendly advice: if you want to impress a client with something the feels exclusive... this may be the place. If you are looking for amazing food, being pampered and feeling your money was "well spent", try another place. I don't plan to visit this restaurant soon.

Hapa in Cherry Creek does have a great Happy Hour and I would recommend going here during Happy Hour for food and drinks. Our server was very attentive and checked in on our group frequently throughout our visit. Hapa does sauces extremely well. Case in point was the Shishito Peppers and Monkey Brain apps. Hapa offers a variety of rolls and sashimi as well, though I find the rolls only ok. Hapa at this location has plenty of seating,however the moment Happy Hour starts, it gets busy so would recommend reservations.

Parking can be annoying (if you come to Cherry Creek you know it sucks) but once you're inside, it's great We got sat at this cute table that was set up, kind of like a cattycorner booth, perfect for two. Our server Marvis was great, he greeted us so quickly and talked through his recommendations for cocktails. I ended up trying the Yuzu margarita, which he said was the best drink on the menu, and I absolutely loved it. My friend had a lemon drop and also thought it was perfect. We started with the magic mushrooms appetizer - I almost looked past this but It wasn't mushrooms at all. (Thank god). It was really unique and yummy. I thought maybe they could elevate it a little more by adding some additional seasoning to the shrimp or even leaving it raw to accentuate the cold avocado in the center., but it was still really good. The nigiris were the standouts of the evening. - we tried the seared Ahi tuna, the grilled scallop, and the Unagi. Words cannot describe. If I could make a meal out of Nigiri alone, I would but with just two pieces per serving. It definitely adds up quick. We also got the big kahuna roll and the Pittsburgh roll. The big kahuna was delicious, with a spicy kick at the end thanks to the jalapeño. had a lot of depth of flavors and good texture. We finished off with the Ube crème brûlée, which was really rich and very Ube forward, definitely a unique and yummy dish. Prices are pretty standard for the area, for all this we each ended up paying about $80. Can't wait to come back and try more, and hopefully sit in Marvis' section again!

At dim lights, with an upscale vibe, Japanese lanterns and umbrellas for decor, we got a good feeling about this place. Our server was prompt, ready, and friendly. To start, I ordered an Avery Yuzilla beer that was light, smooth, refreshing, and fruity; just what I needed. For our food, we started with the spicy garlic edamame and gyoza. Both appetizers were not loud; they were subtle but satisfying with the very mild spicy garlic and the filling of the gyoza. For our entrees we ordered the Diablo Verde, the Spicy Bincho, and the Wagyu Beef rolls. The Diablo Verde had a nice fusion of flavors with its salsa verde and refreshing and perfectly pickled pico de gallo on top. The Bincho was, in contrast, heavier in texture and flavors, with a noticeable spicy kick. Last, the Wagyu beef was the most dense with its generous portion of Wagyu and a bit of respite with lettuce and scallions. Just like the appetizers, the rolls were not loud, but they were good! Overall, this was a very pleasant experience with delicate, yet satisfying flavors. We were glad to get our last dinner in Denver at Hana Matsuri.

It was made at the perfect temperature and great to eat. Though the selection of beers could have at least an American lager. So to my astonishment this visit was that they didn't accept my military identification. Yes I do have my drivers license but it's habit forming for me to show my military ID in case there is a military discount and they'll do it upfront. Now just imagine if I didn't drive and didn't have a drivers license and relied on my ID. I wouldn't be able to drink or sit at the bar at your establishment?

Yesterday's dining experience of mine at Sweet Ginger with my daughter was an opportunity to check…read moreout this sushi place for the first time. It was also an opportunity for me learn that it is/was one of the least impressive sushi restaurants I have been to in the Cherry Creek neighborhood or the entire greater Denver area. I am a believer in "try out and see for myself" person. I knew about the fairly low ratings of 3.5 stars they had but that didn't stop me. I am glad because now I know that Sweet Ginger isn't a place I would recommend to others if my friends are looking for a nice sushi place in centralized Denver. BUT.... They do have a reasonable happy hour menu and if someone is focusing on that element (only) then I might recommend it to them. Here is some highlights from yesterday: HH Appetizer section: It has 15 items listed in it (as of early/mid August of 2026). Prices range from $4.50 up to $7.50. Although I don't know each item's portion, based on what we got yesterday, the two items (age tofu and veggie tempura) were decently portioned for the kind of prices. They weren't masterfully cooked and prepared in any way and yet they were good enough. HH Sushi/sashimi section: We tried everything in it (8 different ones). They don't automatically come in two pieces so if you are splitting everything between two people then you order two pieces. Each (one piece) is $2.95. Not bad. The quality (in my frankest opinion) was okay-ish. Out of everything we ordered and ate, White Tuna and Yellowtail stood out. But as I indicated already, they are nowhere near the best in quality and freshness. Service...this was okay and quite basic (by one of the female workers). She was efficient though. In other words, she didn't make us wait for anything. Towards the end of our meal, there was a male worker who assisted us for our check. He was very pleasant and courteous. Upon leaving, two of the chefs inside the sushi bar thanked us for coming. We appreciated the kind gesture there. Whereas the restroom (ladies) was old and a bit dirty, the overall cleanliness's of the dining room was okay. The patio seating upfront is quite spacious; it'd be nice to sit outside as long as the weather permits (it was still too warm for us so we sat at one of the two-person tables inside at one of the big windows closer to the sushi bar.

Everything we ordered was outstanding. The tuna tartare, steak tartare, steamed mussels, and French onion soup were fantastic. The porterhouse, Delmonico, and lamb chops were all cooked perfectly, and the sides and desserts, especially the chocolate soufflé and cheesecake, were just as impressive. A nice bonus was that dining here reduced our valet parking to just $7.50. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and will definitely be back, especially if Jacob is our server!

The flaming scallops were the most impressive-looking thing on the table. They arrived on fire and finished cooking right in front of us, and they tasted every bit as good as the show. The crab cake benedict was well made, and that crab cake was a highlight. The deviled eggs were fantastic, and I will never turn down a deviled egg. The asparagus was perfectly cooked and seasoned, and the Brussels sprouts with pomegranate seeds had an extra burst of brightness that I loved. For drinks, the Aperol Spritz was my favorite. I'm biased, because it takes me straight back to my fresher era this past summer (obnoxious sentence, but I had to). The Cherry Creek Chi Chi was really good too. The room is classic steakhouse elegant with white tablecloths, but it never felt stuffy. It's Cherry Creek, so it's a fancier part of town, but you can still walk in wearing shorts and a shirt. Our server Sean was really nice, helpful, and attentive, and he gave us great recommendations. We had a great time. It's a versatile spot that works for a weekend brunch, a date night, or a special occasion.

The vibes were great, upscale but not over the top (you'd be fine in jeans and a nice shirt). Noise level was perfect, not very loud and easy to have a conversation with everyone at the table without yelling. We got the Brussels as an appetizer (listed as a side item), they were absolutely spectacular and cooked to perfection. The pomegranate seeds added a nice touch of sweetness. There were so many incredible options on the menu it was a struggle to decide on an entree. They have many pescatarian, vegetarian, and even vegan options. I ended up ordering the Sweet Potato off the vegan section of the menu. It was amazing but unfortunately due to my sensative pallet, it was a bit too spicy for me to say I'd order it again. It came on a luxurious bed of hummus and corn. Overall 10 out of 10 experience but I would not recommend the vegan sweet potato entree if you're sensitive to spice. Skinny margs were amazing!! Highly recommend with Herradura (blanco). Note: the daiquiris come in a martini glass - not frozen like tradition.
