Kimora has the makings of a giant izakaya but somehow sectioned things off to make the back rooms feel more modern. If that doesn't raise expectations the service is on a whole other level with super knowledgeable staff as if they have been there for a while or even own the places. Its impressive! When you tie service and ambiance that leaves the food. Delicate and flavor forward dishes really play to all levels of the meal. Precisely cut pieces of fish and decorated with spices and sauces for an amazing meal! Highly recommended and an easy decision to return. Make your reservation and get that sushi in your belly! read more

I've been to Kumoya twice now, once in 2023 and again recently, and I really wanted to love it. The food is good, the ambiance is great, and the staff is kind when you interact with them. Unfortunately, both visits had the same issue: very long gaps between dishes. On my most recent visit, we waited nearly 50 minutes between courses and never received the remaining three dishes. We ended up asking for the check instead. What made it more frustrating was the lack of service. No one checked on us, and we had to flag down another staff member just to get the check. Our server never came by. It was also surprising because the restaurant wasn't busy. There were open bar seats and plenty of open tables, so I'd be nervous to see what the experience is like on a busy night. It's disappointing because the food is solid, but the pacing and service make it hard to come back. read more

For our 10 year anniversary, my husband and I decided to treat ourselves to a more upscale sushi restaurant. When walking in and it has a dimly lit area that has the sushi bar with a formal dining room towards the back. The hours listed for their hours of operation is a bit skewed due to the bar that they have in the back. So I would say call to make sure that they are available for food. We opted for a lot of different options and did not realize how small each plate would be. I would say this is definitely more tapas style rather than full entrées. Each dish was beautifully presented and had a great flavor or taste. I loved the Uni carbonara. I felt like this was a great combination and twist on an Italian dish. The Uni flavor was not very potent, but gave a nice creaminess. The desserts were especially different with their corn cake. It was a nice balance of sweetness. Overall, this is nice for a date night, but it is definitely not in every day expense. It is definitely more of a higher end and higher cost place. read more

Wonderful sushi and cocktails for happy hour. Meticulously created sushi and beautiful rolls looked like an art form. Sit at the sushi counter to watch creators make these masterpieces. This place is expensive, but happy hour helps. The ambiance is lovely and gorgeous textile designs, lighting, and decor make this an elegant place. The bar is lively and loud, but you also see the cocktail artists at work! Friendly, energetic staff and great service. read more

The food was great! My preference was the rolls but the other dishes we got were interesting. We were there for restraunt week but next time I think we'd stick with just the rolls. The service was okay but they didn't offer to split the bill for our large group. The ambiance is nice. read more

The new up-and-coming sushi joint in Lohi Colorado left a little much to be desired. I might chalk all of this up to them being new and working out their kinks still. This place seems promising however currently it's not providing anything better than what I think is in my opinion mediocre food. Let's get into the detail shall we? We got the miso soup, spicy tuna roll, the Hamachi roll, the eel hand roll, both of the skewers, chicken and Wagyu beef, and the udon. The drinks were a beer, a mocktail, sake and wine. Drinks need garnishes, even if they're mock tails. We loved the wine. Great choice. I don't really know what they are trying to do with the miso soup, but there wasn't an umami flavor at all. It almost tasted like it was made out of miso with a little bit of some kind of meat broth. The meat broth overpowered the miso. The spicy tuna roll was good. It was filled with fish, however, the flavors weren't really there. It was better exemplified in the Hamachi roll. The lemon zest, the lemon seasoning the Yuzu sauce within the roll it wasn't popping nothing was popping. Also, what was a little disappointing was that none of the fish tasted fresh. The hand roll was good however I think the eel should've been chopped up a little more. It also seems like the eel was just covered in a teriyaki soy sauce and put into a hand roll with rice and cucumber. I think a little more effort needs to be going into how the fish is being seasoned and prepare prepared if you want to be a sushi joint, especially in Denver. Do you know has way too much butter. It's kind of all I taste. The Wagyu and chicken skewers seem to be coded in the same sauce that the eel was coded in, which I wasn't really a huge fan of. I think they overcooked the Wagyu beef. Now to the service, it's very clear that a lot of the weight staff are still being trained. They are very nice however we asked our bill to be split four ways food and drink yet the server somehow ended up charging us for the full bill price plus the four-way split. It took 10 solid minutes to try to flag the server down and to solve the issue. The owner was there and he does seem like he cares and he's very nice. Onto the ambience and dish ware, I think while cute, the wooden bowls and wooden spoons on the miso soup really after wear and tear of being in a dishwasher, etc. they don't present nicely at the end of the day. The main dish plates are broken glass, which is a symbolism in culture, and I do appreciate that aspect of it, and the inside of the restaurant is very cute. Overall, I say this with a lot of love, I think this place has a lot of potential, but there are these kinks and issues that I think the restaurant needs to fix before they're worth five stars. It is definitely a hard game coming into Denver and opening a sushi restaurant when there are 1 million other sushi places in Denver that are crushing it. read more

First time here, the ambiance was really comforting. Good for dates or small gathering. Service was attentive and fast. The cocktail was good for what it was. The sushi on the other hand. It was more pricey than it should have been. I'm not sure why it would even be called "omakase"...it was literally just various common nigiri pieces. I believe I picked this 12 piece because it was an option where the rice was mixed in vinegar. But let me be more specific. Out of the 12 nigiri pieces, only the unagi one was of balanced taste. The rest had either little bits of wasabi, seasoned ginger of some kind topping. None of which go well with the nirigi itself. It was like extra topping to make it seem more value than basic nigiri. I dont even know how to address the soy sauce. It wasnt low sodium or high sodium, but It had a tangy taste to it that did not compliment anything you dip. Imagine eating vinegar rice, dipping in ponzu sauce and topping it off with scallion wasabi..... As for dessert, no complaints about the affogato, vanilla ice cream bathe in espresso. Cannot go wrong, the corn cannoli was interesting. The yellow corn custard had a very pleasant corn cream flavor. But the rest of it was not enjoyable. There was some chili string as topping, but that tasted like nothing. The pure bland sour cream between the cannoli had zero flavor. So you're just eating spoonful of sour cream....alot of textures but lacked of taste and flavor. It was not enjoyable for the price. read more

We really liked the vibe here and we're initially uncomfortable bringing our baby to a nice restaurant but the hostess and who I assume to be the manager were accommodating. They installed a countertop high chair for us and made sure to move all utensils out of reach of our son. That was a really kind gesture that didn't go unnoticed. My husband had the six course omakase and we also ordered the broiled eggplant and a few more rolls. The eggplant was my favorite, so good and filling. My husband enjoyed the omakase and I had a few bites of it as well. It does take some time to receive your food if you do the omakase menu but it was still timely. Note that the bathroom does not have a changing table so plan ahead if you're coming with a baby. read more

We made reservations for a group of five and they put us at the bar. I normally don't mind sitting at the bar, but it's challenging for five people to talk with that seating. They did nicely move us to a table. We ordered off the happy hour menu and I got the winter snow crab roll, udon, and the $12 old-fashioned which were all good. My friend got the Katsu curry which was a huge plate with pork cutlet and seemed like a very good value for the price. At times the service was a little slow but friendly and Dan, who seems to be the manager or owner, stopped by to check on us. They did allow us to split checks which was much appreciated as that is more and more unusual these days. What I didn't like is that the bill came with a 20% service charge which fine, but it very clearly said that it was a service charge and not gratuity. So I'm supposed to pay 40% on top of the menu prices? Yeah, that's enough for me not to come back. They also asked if we wanted wasabi and ginger for the table and I said no, but everyone else wanted it so they brought some and I got a $1 charge for it on my bill. A dollar isn't much, but if it's not complementary, you should say something. read more

Came here for a birthday dinner and tried the 6 course omakase - we thought it was decent but a little overpriced for the amount of food. Ambiance and service is really nice as expected for an upscale sushi place, probably would not come back as there's other sushi places we prefer in Denver, but it was fun to try once. Was put off by the 20% mandatory service fee. $275 for 2 people in total (one of us got one drink also), and we were not full afterwards read more

Finally got around to checking this place out! Went on a Tuesday night for dinner - the restaurant was very spacious (where Tony P's pizzeria used to be a while ago), and there was a front room with a sushi bar, a middle room where we sat, then what looked to be a cozy bar in the back room. The menu consists of obviously sushi and a variety of small plates - we opted for the following: Kinoko: "mushroom' king trumpet, hon shimeji, oyster mushrooms, pickled kabu, charred greens, rosemary tamari reduction Kumo: soft shell crab, dashimaki, cucumber, shiso, yamagobo, daikon, and shiitake topped with masago & amadare sando: "milk bread sandwich" berkshire pork, napa cabbage, tonkatsu sauce, asian pear, curry aioli udon: "thick noodles" hokkaido scallop, uni butter, cured egg yolk Everything was very good - the mushrooms were our favorite. I think sometimes you just order the "wrong" things at a restaurant which was probably the case here - Kumoya is known for fish/sushi so we probably should've gotten more of the sushi to try. The kumo rolls we did get with soft shell crab were super fun and flavorful - almost too many flavor bombs happening! Our server was helpful to us in making our decisions on what to order - would totally come back here and try more of the sushi rolls. read more

I love the fact that they have a coat rack and hooks under the table at the bar seatings for your purses or other items you may want to hang and out of the way. Service was wonderful and they're very attentive. I went with the omakase and was served 5 dishes. Each dish was very lovely. The eggplant appetizer is what surprised me the most. I absolutely hate the texture and taste of eggplants and the flavor was just stunning. If eggplant dishes tasted like theirs all the time, then eggplant is my new favorite vegetable. Their raw fish were all very fresh and delicious. They don't provide you with any wasabi and ginger but there are 3 wasabi options available to include a flight with all 3 if you'd like. I'm not sure if they provide ginger or not since I never asked. I tried 2 of their cocktails, Goten and Shinron. They're dragon ball themed, so I was told. Both of them tasted really yummy and not too sweet. I would get either again. After finishing my omakase set meal, I was still hungry and wanted to try more dishes. I was recommended the Wagyu tartare and I personally wanted to try the mabo dofu. The wagyu tartare tasted pretty interesting with the toasted milk bread. I think the sweetness of the milk bread definitely throws off your palate slightly but the tartare itself still tasted good. It wasn't the best I've ever had so I'm not sure if I would get it again before trying other items on the menu. For the mabo dofu, I neglected to look at the ingredients of what makes the dish and was disappointed when tasting it. It's made with dobanjan. I had to google after tasting the dish and that's bean paste. It's definitely a flavor I do not like at all. I ate 2 bites and politely let them know I personally did not enjoy it when the waitress checked in on me. I got the last 2 add on items comped which was really nice of them to do. They didn't need to comp the wagyu tartare because it was still enjoyable but I still appreciated that. There is an automatic 20% gratuity and I tipped them in addition to that for their exceptional service and attentiveness. Would love to come back again and try the other items on their menu. read more

Came in for a birthday meal and enjoyed it! The ambience is nice and the service was super friendly. We got nigiri as well as a few entrees. The Wagyu tartare was to DIE FOR and the sushi was so fresh. We didn't love the miso cod, it was a bit flavorless and we didn't love the Bibingka dessert. But overall, a lot of hits and some misses. It's definitely an indulgent and pricey meal for a special occasion, but I'd come back again. read more

Came for happy hour and it didn't disappoint! Margarita was nothing special but was tequila heavy. The food was all very good! Unagi melted in my mouth. The Shake roll had a great sauce and flavor. The spicy tuna was packed with fish as well. The best one was the Winter roll with mounds of fresh crab on top (not pictured), 30% off specialty rolls at happy hour makes for a great deal! The wagyu skewer though not much meat was cooked to perfection!! Only odd thing was that they charged for ginger and wasabi, first time I have ever seen that at a sushi restaurant so that is quite strange. They don't tell you this either. They state some will come on the sushi plate with the rolls (as you can see in the picture) this did not happen. Will be back for happy hour again though might bring my own wasabi. read more

Beautiful interior with an inviting atmosphere. The Wagyu steak was absolutely delicious, I'd definitely order it again. For dessert, we had the banana tiramisu, which was fantastic. The chocolate nibs added the perfect crunchy contrast to each bite. We also tried the shake roll, very light and subtly flavored, and the pickled cucumbers, which had a nice little kick. Service was excellent, the staff were all incredibly kind and attentive. Can't wait to come back, especially for more Wagyu and that amazing tiramisu! read more

WOW I've always wanted to try this place and dreams do come true because we finally came to visit. The atmosphere is so cool and fancy and the service is kind and attentive. My water was always filled! First off I love the Studio Ghibli themed cocktails. We both ordered the Mononoke. It wasn't too sweet and it was STRONG. You won't need multiple drinks here! I can't remember the name of the roll we got but it had salmon tartare and it was so fresh! Definitely high quality but not as much taste but it was wonderful. The fried rice was great too and it had generous amount of crab meat along with bonus giant slices on top. My friend was eager to take home those leftovers. The star of the show imo was the beef tartare! It's hard to find ones made perfectly and they did it here! Comes with toast and both were perfect in proportions. Would come back to try other stuff! read more

This may be on the list of one of my favorite sushi restaurants in Denver. The location of the restaurant is in an old pizza shop that had been there for quite some time. I was surprised that they closed. I am happy that it is now a great sushi restaurant. The overall vibe is so cool. It reminds me of eating sushi in a New York City restaurant. The staff was very well mannered. The waitress was helpful when it came to explaining the menu. I absolutely love the decor. The drinks were superb, and I really liked the glass that my cosmopolitan was served in. It was a lot smaller than I'm used to, but it packed a punch. My friend had a vodka tonic and his drink packed a punch as well. We started out with the Wagyu tartare serve with soy cured Jidori egg and some toasted shokupan (Japanese milk bread) with the crust cut off. It was fantastic! A must have when you go to the restaurant. The salmon caviar (tartare & osetra) hand roll, and the Unagi hand roll, both were divine. Lastly we had the Shake and Bachi sushi rolls (not pictured). My friend ordered the Hamachi and it came out as the Shake roll. The waitress kindly had it taken off of the bill. Fantastic customer service and great staff. I will definitely be coming back to this restaurant and I look forward to tasting the full menu over time. I really hope this restaurant stays open for years to come. read more

We did the omakase here, which was about $120 per person and included a little over 13 pieces. Overall, it was good quality sushi and an enjoyable experience. That said, I don't think it quite lived up to the price when compared to other spots like Uchi or Temaki Den. One thing I really noticed was the rice, Uchi's rice, in particular, is warmer, more flavorful, and just hits differently. I don't regret coming here and definitely don't hate it, but for the price, I'd probably choose other sushi restaurants in Denver that deliver a similar experience. read more

Yeaaaaah this is probably our favorite Happy Hour. It's not SUPER CHEAP but it's 30% discounted rolls and the rolls are so so so delicious. This is probably my favorite roll in Denver (debatably).

No idea how I haven't reviewed Kumoya yet - this is my husband and I's go-to sushi spot in Denver. Honestly, we'd come here every week if we could afford it. Seriously top notch experience all around. Starting with the decor: it's chic and unique and each room has a different vibe, yet they all work seamlessly together. I'm a particular fan of the light fixtures. Next up, staff: everyone is great. Very professional, knowledgeable, and friendly and the owner (I think?) is almost always there chatting with patrons, helping out servers wherever it is needed, and always happy to chat about Japanese whisky. They give off a "we're family here" sense. Now, drinks: EPIC. They rotate their cocktail selection frequently and everything is always unique, fun and delicious. Last night my cocktail had yuzu and coconut foam - delectable. They also have delicious Japanese whisky flights and a wide selection of other bevvies like sake to sip on. If booze isn't your thing, their mocktails are also top notch and well priced - Ichigo is my favorite. Lastly, their crown jewel... the food: what we come here for. We're nigiri people and always get a smattering of their daily offerings. Everything is amazing and while not cheap, I feel it is fairly priced for the impeccable quality. Beyond nigiri we usually get a roll of two and those have always been winners and we always start with their house pickles because they are drool-worthy. Last night they had pickled lotus root and just, wow. As you can see, Kumoya is well worth the hype. We will continue to be regulars here and come for a special treat or when we need a really delicious sushi meal. While we've been able to snag a table last minute before (they also have a bar that is first come first served with full menu), they are a popular spot so I'd recommend a reservation to ensure a table when you want it - especially if you're like us and come with a stroller in tow! read more

KUMOYA is a magical place. This place has perhaps one of the best sake and Japanese whiskey selections of any place that I've been outside of either Japan or a major major city. (Think New York or LA.) Service is very attentive, the bearded manager man is a very magnanimous presence. The food itself is excellent, the Omakase experience top-notch. I would say that this restaurant hits above its weight class in most ways. The ambience of the space is trendy but intimate, and dodges many of the challenges that come with a higher end sushiya in terms of the rigid etiquette. Can't recommend this place enough and we're here every time that we're in town. read more

We had a great first experience at Kumoya. We ordered several dishes off of the menu, and loved how they came out as they were ready. This allowed us to slowly eat at our own pace, while making sure we always had something to eat at the table. We loved the Kobe beef kabobs and ordered seconds of those. We weren't the biggest fans of the sake, but also aren't very educated on sake and didn't ask our server for help- so that was our fault. Cute decor, clean bathrooms, and server was good. read more

Overall, I like this place. Service is kind and relatively prompt, the whole team pitching in for food delivery and to check in. We were asked if we were celebrating any occasion and when I said "yes" we were offered celebratory bubbles. I am not one to turn down champagne! But more on these later... We got the Kumoya omakase and (after waiting for a while) received three dishes within 10 minutes of each other. The first dish we were asked if we were expecting it and (since we weren't told what was coming) we said we didn't know. So she had to go back into the kitchen to confirm. Turns out, it was for us! Then, about 5 min later, two dishes were delivered at the same time - we felt a bit overwhelmed and or small table was quite crowded! It all worked out - just felt clunky. Similarly, when we ordered dessert, it was initially taken to the table next to us (who had just began their meal). The food was really good! Waygu tartar with milk bread - not generally a tartar fan but this was worth returning for! Eggplant with puffed rice - lava hot initially (don't let it burn you or the rest of your meal will be ruined!); really yummy! Hon hamachi mukozuke - really interesting and tasty but definitely hides the fish in all the accouterments. Various nigiri and a salmon tartar roll - we were able to have a 60-day dry aged tuna that was IN-CREDIBLE! My mouth is watering just thinking about it! Salmon tartar roll - ended our omakase. It was good but felt like a miss with timing. End with the star - that aged tuna! We did opt to add in dessert, which was totally unnecessary considering how full we were but the budino was really tasty. Afterwards, I asked my hubby if they ended up charging for those 'celebratory bubbles' and it turns out they did. Which just felt shady. If you're going to offer and make it seem like a gift (like many other establishments), it should be a gift. So overall, I'm glad we went and I'm sure we'll be back for the tartar and the aged tuna (and the cocktails - my hubby enjoyed his two, I enjoyed my sake flight). read more

This has become my husband's and my absolute favorite cocktail bar. The bartenders are fabulous. The drinks are amazing, and the cocktail menu is updated regularly. And on top of all of that, the food is truly next level. We enjoy the bar so much that the first time we ever ate in the restaurant proper was for my birthday when my husband arranged for a surprise party in their private dining room. The mukozuke preparation changes regularly and is always impressive. I've even tried the dry aged toro, which might be the most flavorful bite I've ever had. Whether the food is from the sushi menu or the kitchen, we've never been disappointed. read more

we made a reservation and were sat right one time. great service, great advice from the server. saw a lot of reviews that mentioned leaving still hungry so I expected to not be too full when leaving and boy was I wrong. I literally couldn't eat breakfast the next day so safe to say I was VERY satisfied with portion sizes. we got cocktails at the bar which were okay. The sushi was what really sold it for me absolutely amazing quality. we're not usually big Ramen people, but the Ramen was really good and the rice bowl was incredibly filling and delightful. The ambience was so comfortable. The lighting was great and we loved the location. Also, very easy street parking. read more

For the prices they charge, they should be paying fair wages, not adding a '20% fee for their staff', and expect you to tip on top. Also, $1 for wasabi? Really? Portions were laughable. Paid $220 and had to stop at McDonalds afterwards to get something filling. read more

Disappointed with our experience at Kumoya. It wasn't one major issue, but a series of small problems that added up to a poor overall experience. We came in as a group of five. We started by asking questions about a $200+ bottle of sake that did not list an SMV. The only feedback we were given was that it was "sweet," and no one could provide additional information. We ordered it anyway and it was good, but the lack of product knowledge was noticeable. Once food arrived, we realized we had no soy sauce. We asked our waitress three times and were told it was "coming out," but it never did. We eventually asked a busser, who immediately brought it over. Water glasses were left empty throughout the meal, and no water bottle was left at the table. Our server seemed disengaged. Everyone can have an off day, which is understandable, but at a high-end restaurant there is still an expectation of professionalism and attentiveness. We ordered real wasabi with no horseradish and were instead brought horseradish-mixed wasabi, which you are charged for. We also ordered a hamachi collar that was inedible -- extremely fishy and clearly not fresh. It was sent back and not comped. Our salmon nigiri never came out at all. There is also an automatic 20% service charge added to the bill. Given the service and multiple mistakes, it was frustrating to have no discretion, and it became clear why there was little urgency or accountability. The only positive was that the nigiri itself was very good. I've had great experiences here before, which makes this visit especially disappointing. It's clear things have gone downhill, and with so many better sushi options in Denver, I won't be returning unless there are serious changes in management and service. read more

This is a super fun take on a Japanese eatery that serves both sushi and other Izakaya style appetizers with a cool vibe that has several different rooms depending on what kind of scene you're looking for. We got the spicy scallop roll which had a nice combination of flavors, the chicken karaage was pretty good and the sando was amazing. My only gripe is that the final bill just felt way too high considering what we ordered.

My husband happened upon this place and stopped in on a busy Saturday night. He was lucky to get a seat at the Sushi bar and had a memorable dinner. He insisted we come back and I am so happy we did. We came in early and sat at the sushi bar. We had the Omakase dinner and enjoyed every bite. Each bite was fresh and seasoned perfectly. The restraint that was exhibited with each piece was exciting as were the selection of the fish and the flow in which they were selected and presented. I also ordered a sake flight which was delightful. Needless to say, we will come back. They have a selection of dry aged fish which I have never had before. It was truly exceptional. If you are a fan of wasabi they also have a flight of wasabi which is a must try. read more

Came here for date night and it was nice! we have been using this app inKind which gives loyalty points on restaurant purchases if you pay through their app, and weve been looking for new places to try on there. They work in tandem with the bar next-door, and you can walk to either from the inside. We sat at the sushi bar, I love the open kitchen experience, where you get to watch the chefs work their art with food. Although the cocktails sounded delicious and unique, I wasn't drinking so we skipped straight to the food, I went for the six piece Omakase to start. It was good, but not my favorite. I didn't feel as if they did much to the pieces to give them a depth of flavor, consistent with traditional Omakase plates. I was hoping for a bit more depth with some of these pieces, whether through sauce or toppings or pairings. The fish was fresh though and still tasted good. We tried the shake roll and the tuna roll below it, the shake roll was honestly pretty yummy. My favorite of the day. The tuna was also good, but I felt the wasabi flavor came through too strong. We also had the hotate roll with scallop, this was also delicious a little bit spicy but great flavor. I decided to go for an Affogato dessert because I love the traditional Lagato, I was delighted to see it came with a yummy citrusy macaron on a bed of tiny chocolate chip chips as well as the hojachi tea, flavored ice cream and the fresh espresso, which they poured over it at the table in front of you. They even had a decaf espresso option. We ended up chatting with Corey, the sushi chef who was preparing our meal in front of us, We mentioned our upcoming Japan trip and he mentioned where I can get a good quality chef knife there, and some restaurants to try on the trip. Great experience! I hear They have 30% off their rolls during happy hour, so I'll definitely be looking to come back soon to check that out read more

Food is good although fish pieces are small. Service is good. That makes for 2 stars. This is a high-standing restaurant with corresponding prices. Nothing wrong here until their check automatically adds 20% to your bill and claims it is to better pay their employees and is not a tip or gratuity. I find this practice unethical as the restaurant should just add 20% to every item on their menu and be more fairly competitive with other sushi places. Not a place I will visit again for those reaso read more
