    I've been to Nozomi Sushi twice now and I gotta say, it's well worth the 5 stars!! Everything we have ordered so far has been delicious, the staff are all wonderful and I love the ambiance inside as well. Great menu selection and food quality I'll definitely be going back more.

    I want to gatekeep this happy hour, it is TOOOOOO good. 3 temaki rolls for $12. Insanity. Plus appetizers, drinks, and maki rolls all also on the happy hour menu. Service is quick and made sure to double check if we wanted to order more before happy hour ended. Ambiance is cozy but very nice. The wooden sushi bar is a special touch, definetly will be sitting there next time. The sushi quality was some of the best I've had in Colorado. Highly highly highly recommend the scallop nigiri with their special butter, a new favorite bite in town. Fabulous spot, will be back!

    We went to Nozomi during happy hours. I am impress with cozy, modern atmosphere. Well trained waiter & most importantly very delicious sushi that is not break your bank. I highly recommended Agedashi tofu, Spicy Yellowtail hand roll, Amae shrimp, and Alaskan maki. It is fresh, tasty & artsy decorated. Might need reservation during peak hours bc it is on cozy size restaurant. We would go back again for sure :)

    Solid sushi at Nozomi! It is a busy spot - we showed up on a Friday around 5pm without reservations but were seated immediately. By the time we left, it was super busy inside. There is a large sushi menu with nigiri, sashimi, and rolls. There are also some hot kitchen items. The nigiri are large with generous portions of rice and fish, ratio is excellent but the fish is on the larger side. The star of the meal was the wagyu nigiri - my husband got the tuna wagyu and I got the salmon wagyu. It is absolutely melt in your mouth - no teeth necessary. My husband said it was one of the best bites in the city (gasp). We started with the tuna crudo which was great quality and each piece was a decent thickness. However, there was a mango sauce to it that made the dish sweet. I don't normally enjoy sweet crudo dishes so this was a little off putting. However, that aside, it was a good dish. There were orange slivers under the fish that added to the sweetness but oh well, they were refreshing slices. Excellent sushi here, can't go wrong if you have a sushi craving and go here!

    Really great sushi with such a fun variety of choice. We went really crazy with what we ordered and although pricey, we got our money's worth. I won't be able to list all of the rolls and fish we chose, but I can pretty confidently say that you can't go wrong. All of our rolls were loaded with fish and balanced toppings - not too much rice. Service was friendly, quick, and they left us to our feasting. The space can be a little tight, but it adds to the ambiance. We will definitely be back!

    Our party of six adults and two children arrived just after opening at 4:30 p.m., and our reservation for eight was ready to go. Waters and menus, including the happy hour menu, appeared shortly after we were seated. We didn't order everything on the menu, but by the end of the meal it certainly felt like we had! As the food started arriving, the restaurant quickly filled up. By 5 p.m., there was already a line at the door, and soon after, out the door. After sampling most of the dishes we ordered, the reasons seemed obvious. The food was nicely executed, very tasty, and quite reasonably priced, especially the happy hour offerings. Standouts included the Rainbow Roll, Red Dragon Roll, Gyoza, Salmon Sashimi, Chicken Yaki Soba, and cucumber salad. That said, we ended up enjoying just about everything that came to the table, and we'd happily reorder all of it again. Service was friendly and efficient despite the rapidly growing crowd, and dishes arrived at a steady pace throughout the meal. For a party this size, the kitchen handled timing impressively well. Kudos to the kitchen staff and team overall. We're already looking forward to a return visit! Use the itemized list. Capitalize Cucumber Salad.

    Crispy Spicy Tuna (5 Pieces)
    Judy C.

    I would recommend making reservations ahead of time, it does get busy in the evenings! Started off with some Miso Soup (ask for some spicy seasoning/togarashi) and the Crispy Spicy Tuna (the rice was indeed crunchy and the Tuna mix had a nice little kick to it, MUST GET***). For our mains, we ordered an assortment of Nigiris (Sake Toro, Whole Scallops/Hotate, Bluefin Toro - MELT IN YOUR MOUTH, Hamachi, all were dressed really well and the size of each fish was generous). Also ordered 2 Tuna Handrolls, the Black Dragon Roll and Den Roll (this one was only okay). Servers were attentive. Seating - Can seat a good amount of people indoors Restrooms - Single Stalls/Clean Parking - Street Parking

    Dynamite Roll - tempura battered and fried. Delicious!
    Airplane G.

    Sunday afternoon (12:01pm) called ahead for a to go order. I super wanted to try the Crispy Spicy Tuna (5 pieces) - but found out it is only offered as an appetizer. I pivoted and got the Dynamote Roll. Excellent!! Restaurant is nicely decorated. Clean lines, modern look. Great service!

    Seaweed Salad (~$8)
    Aya E.

    Ordered: Seaweed Salad (~$8) Crispy Spicy Tuna (~$16): 5pc crispy rice, spicy tuna, tobiko, spicy mayo sauce, eel sauce Crazy Tuna Roll (~$19): 8pc seared tuna w seven spice powder, scallion, fried garlic, avocado, spicy tuna and chili ponzu sauce on top Den Roll (~$20): 8pc yellowtail, salmon, tuna, avocado, tobiko, fried onion, miso yuzu sauce on top with soy paper Playboy Roll (~$18): 8pc spicy tuna, fried onion, pickled cucumber with yellowtail jalapeño on top Red Dragon Roll (~$18): 8pc salmon and mango with tuna, chili ponzu sauce, and jalapeño on top Volcano Roll (~$19): 8pc spicy tuna avocado with seared salmon and spicy snow crab tobiko on top Aya's take: If you weren't craving sushi before, looking at photos from Nozomi will absolutely get you going. We got to Nozomi around 6:30pm on a Saturday and they were busy! We tried to join the Yelp Waitlist beforehand but kept getting an error message. That would've saved us time considering we still waiting about 20-30 minutes after arriving (despite being told it would only be 10 mins). Nonetheless, the food made up for it. Everything we got was excellent and presented beautifully! The highlights were the Crispy Spicy Tuna, Volcano Roll, and Crazy Tuna Roll but again, everything we ordered was good and I would order again. It came presented in a beautiful sushi boat which I loved! Shout out to them for taking the presentation as seriously as the flavors. Amazing dinner spot!

    Why have I been sleeping on this place for the last two years? Hot damn, the Nozomi team is slinging high quality soosh!! Made the mistake of not making a reservation, definitely do so on a weekend! Best part is you can make the rezy right on their Yelp page. The restaurant was absolutely slammed without an empty seat. Which I'm not going to lie, was incredible to see during these tough times for restaurants; especially in winter. We waited 15 minutes and scored a table. No harm, no foul. My favorite items to order when I go out for sushi is nigiri. I find the combination of raw fish on top of rice to be the pinnacle of seeing how great the fish is on its own, while still getting the bite of rice we all want. The nigiri I had was outstanding. 10/10 wouldn't change a thing. Fresh, buttery, and melted in my mouth. Mmmm, I'm getting hungry just thinking about it! We split various rolls and these were great, too. I'd say 4 stars compared to the nigiri. However, they were nicely presented and rolled appropriately where the components didn't fall out while eating. I have to order seaweed salad to start and this portion was hulk-sized! I thought the price was a little high initially, but now I see why. Can easily split between two people! This hidden gem needs to be on your sushi radar for a date night or large group together. Prices aren't exorbitant, table service was quick, and the quality of sushi was excellent. I hope you stay busy, Nozomi!

    holy wow! MISO YUMMY eggplant. nice people fast service!!! and cozy atmosph. don't wear a hat, GUYS! godzilla roll and the scallop nigiri can't remember name.

    Crispy Rice
    Kristi M.

    This is situated in the cutest area. We were greeted kindly upon entering. The miso soup was perfectly salty and a great starter! The seaweed salad portion is incredibly generous and packs a lot of flavor. The shrimp tempura with veggies was very filling. The spicy tuna crispy rice was my favorite bite and dare I say beats any other restaurants in Denver. We got two rolls, the tejon roll and the volcano roll. The volcano roll was my favorite of the two! The flavors were amazing. The service was great, they are very friendly! Fresh flowers in the bathroom was a nice touch. I can't wait to come back and try more of the menu!

    Tasty miso with our sake bombs
    Erica K.

    We had a fantastic dinner at Nozomi! The place was packed so we sat at the bar. Everything we ordered was delicious and full of flavor. The staff was very attentive and friendly as well. We would not hesitate to return.

    this place is one of my favorite hand roll places ever (from a girl coming from California who had…read moremany options)! I was in Denver to visit my friend, and I was telling her how I really liked hand rolls and so she recommended this place and it did not disappoint. We got here during happy hour when at first opened and immediately there was already a line luckily we were early so we did get seated a few minutes after arriving, and we were served relatively quickly. We got to sit at the bar and we ordered off of the happy hour menu, which was great because it had more than enough of what I wanted to try. We got several hand rolls and several of their other appetizers, but my favorite has to be their hand rolls. Their seaweed was so crispy and rolled so nicely. The rice was flavorful and their fish was so fresh. I felt like their prices were also pretty reasonable and I was more than content after having that dinner. Overall, I would put this very much on par with a place called Kazunori in LA. I heard that this restaurant has a sister restaurant called sushi Den that I heard was really good and that I will be trying out next time I'm in town. Please come try out Tamaki done if you're ever in the area the food will not disappoint. The restaurant is big with plenty indoor seating, but it will get packed and for good reasons because the food is so good!

    To celebrate our anniversary, we decided to come to Temaki Den and it did not disappoint (the hype…read moremakes a lot of sense). We thought we made a mistake choosing sushi bar instead of a table because we'll have back issues. Surprisingly, the chairs had a mini back so you could lean back occasionally. And we think our experience was better because the sushi chefs would explain the origin of the fish and all the ingredients they used into each roll and order. We also got a complimentary piece for sitting at the sushi bar which was a light fried yellow tail which was so good. Service is amazing. They're attentive and check in on you often. It does take some time to get your rolls but give its time to digest. From watching the sushi chefs at the bar, they're very precise in how they make each roll. Every roll has similar proportions from the slight wasabi they use to the amount of rice and fish. Everything that we had was amazing. The hamachi and salmon sashimi felt like butter. It just melts in your mouth. The aged toro was so delicious. Even the edamame was just so good. The unagi nigiri is some of the best I've had in the state (the nigri was better than the handroll and I think it's because I love unagi so I love the ratio in nigiri form). The Spicy Tuna Oshizushi was a surprising favorite of the night along with the Crème Fresh Salmon Belly. I could've done without the wagyu but it was good. Every order does come with only 1 so order based on the amount of people that are with your party. Some items we were unsure of like the wagyu so we ordered 1 and shared a bite. Overall, I understand the hype and the reservations. But it was worth it and I'm surprised we can get high quality fish in a landlock state. Of the high end sushi restaurants in CO, Temaki Den is probably my fave.

(Hahaha!) The place is beautiful and the first thing my sister and I noticed waa the detailed design of their ceiling. There was so much intention placed in many things in the restaurant drom the little menu cubby under the table, to the hair ties in the girls's bathroom, or even the not so uncommon foot pull on their bathroom door so you don't have to open it after washing. The dishes were all delicious. All aspects of it thought of very well. Balanced meals with not too much salt, the proper acidity to liven the dish and even the textures were intentionally made. The BEST thing from this visit was our server, Hailey, who made the visit so personal. She made sure we had the right pacing to our courses and gave proper recommendations. We were excited to share the experience with hee whenever she came by. I think it is safe to say that Uchi is my current favorite restaurant in Denver right now.

Tuna crispy rice bites were flavorful and yummy not super strong tuna taste which I think is very typical for this dish. The chirashi bowl is a great option when you want a little bit of everything. Although, it's not my favorite sushi spot in Denver. I definitely find myself coming back time after time if I don't want to spend an arm and a leg on sushi but still want some good quality fish.

    If you're looking for a dining experience that perfectly balances a vibrant, high-energy atmosphere…read morewith an effortlessly cool vibe, this sushi spot absolutely delivers. The staff were incredibly attentive, welcoming. The menu is quite extensive and they have other food apart from Japanese, such as Chinese inspired dumplings and fried rice. The food itself was quite good. The plating was absolutely stunning. Definitely one of those sushi places that has more sauce on everything but if you enjoy that type of sushi then you're in for a treat!

    This is a Japanese restaurant that's occasionally on our rotation for casual date night…read more That said, it's doesn't really have a proper izakaya vibe and a little bit more upscale. The ramen is really good. The nigiri is also pretty good. The rolls are usually a let down for us unfortunately. That said, the happy hour menu is a good deal for a hang out, especially in large group, and the brunch menu is pretty nice. In my opinion, Mizu was probably one of the better Japanese options back in the day. However, with so many other good spots now, especially with Kawa Ni close by with a better izakaya hang out spot, it's not as attractive of an option, especially given the higher price. It really is not a restaurant that specializes in any particular food, but is certainly a crowd pleaser if you have people that want different things.

    My partner and I have been going to this place frequently this past year and it's always solid…read more Great service and consistent tasty sushi!

    They've been my go to for 4 years when I want solid, quality mid-priced sushi (I do Temaki Den for…read morespecial events). The quality of the fish has always been excellent and the portions were fantastic. There was never an issue of way too much rice to fish ratio. I've always been about simple rolls with raw ingredients. I am very fond of scallops in particular but eat most anything that is fresh. I know prices are going up astronomically and completely understand why. I am fine paying more for the same amount I normally get. However, ordering a simple roll and getting half the portion size really sucks. Ordering 2 higher priced rolls and getting much less than I expected isn't remotely ok. I would have been absolutely fine ordering what I normally would and having the price increased so they can make a profit. Getting rolls at the previous prices that are much smaller than before doesn't work! Had I known the portion sizes had changed I would have gladly bought more so I would have enough to eat. I saw that they revamped their menu and nearly doubled the items on the menu in non sushi areas and I don't begrudge them. I want them to be in business. However, the menu now does not accurately reflect what you get and that needs to change. In addition, the AI descriptions aren't remotely accurate as to the ingredients. I would literally fix your menu for free to reflect the actual ingredients and portion sizes for you because it's made it MUCH harder to order, especially if you have allergies.
