I've worked in Golden for a couple of years now, but honestly, I didn't explore much. Now that my time in Downtown Golden is almost up, I'm trying to hit as many places as I can. One of those places? Okinawa Sushi and it was awesome. Let's dig in! what I tried: Yellowtail Jalapeño - thinly sliced yellowtail, jalapeño, cilantro, and chef's special sauce Spicy Crispy Tuna - crispy rice topped with spicy tuna, avocado, and tobiko Teriyaki Chicken - veggies, rice, and your choice of miso soup or green salad Titanic Roll - shrimp tempura, spicy tuna, avocado inside; spicy crab, crunch, soy bean paper, and special sauce on top Playboy Roll - spicy salmon and crunch inside, topped with seared peppered white tuna, avocado, tobiko, and chili sauce A5 Kobe Beef Carpaccio - lightly seared best bites: The A5 Kobe beef carpaccio was seriously next level. Perfectly seared, super buttery. The yellowtail jalapeño was fresh, flavorful, and had just the right amount of spice. And you KNOW I had to get the crispy rice with spicy tuna and it did not disappoint. If you're around Downtown Golden, definitely add Okinawa Sushi to your list!

The sushi specials were great here! The staff was extremely welcoming and had great suggestions for me. All of the rules were super colorful and tasted delicious. I would definitely come here again.

What's left of the spicy edamame
Sam W.

Okinawa is our local neighborhood sushi spot. The sushi itself is decent but nothing That will blow your mind. They have some cool flavor combos but the actual fish quality isn't bad isn't great it just kind of "is". What I will tell you jumped out to us was the friendly server and the edamame dish. The edamame dish is combined with an oily peppery chunky flavor profile mixed in with bits of cooked garlic. Every time we come here the consensus is that we want to lick the bowl afterwards. It's that good

Fatty tuna, love roll, unagi, and lobster tempura roll
Rachel B.

A little on the pricier side for sushi but so worth it. The fatty tuna is worth it and buttery soft. I'm going to have dreams about how good the fatty tuna was. Portions were decent. Quality was high. Service was excellent. Anytime I'm near Golden, I'll stop in for some sushi or maybe just grab a fatty tuna to go.

Sushi Rolls

3.5 stars. Came here for a date night with my partner before watching a show at Miners Alley. Love that everything is walking distance within Downtown Golden. Service was good. Rolls were decent. We got the Playboy, Black Dragon, and Shrek, in addition to the Dynamite, which I'm now realizing is inherently more of an appetizer than a roll. Not my favorite sushi in Colorado, and you wouldn't expect that from a mountain town anyways. Rolls seem to be on the smaller side. I couldn't resist the Key Lime Cheesecake special being promoted that day, and it was the perfect modest-sized slice of tart and sweet to end the meal. Just adding to the very mixed reviews of this place!

Great place to get some sushi! We had 4 people, 1 drink, a few appetizers, and under $150! Delicious! Also one roll not pictured!

22. Sandwich Roll
Steph A.

A few people recommended Okinawa so I figured I would try it! We got the Kani Salad, which was really Good, as well as the jalapeño yellowtail appetizer. I saw great reviews about the yellowtail jalapeño appetizer, but I wasn't a fan of the sauce on it. The house salad was good but they barely gave any dressing so I had to ask for more. Got the sushi sandwich as well, asked for it without the wasabi mayo, but it came on it anyway. They were helpful and gave us one without but I went with my sister and she has specific allergies, so that was a bit concerning for us. Lastly we got the Titanic role, which was ok! For denver the sushi was pretty good but overall I'd had fresher sushi at other spots.

23. Sea Urchin Uni
Seda A.

Great place for a good quality sushi in Golden. My server was very nice, friendly and she made sure I enjoyed my food. The restaurant is specious and perfect for big groups. If you like nigiris, I'd say their nigiris are on the smaller side except the Uni nigiri in the photo was a good portion. Due to the size of the nigiris, I'd say they are a bit pricey for what you get.

Our platter.

Wow. Walked into this really beautiful restaurant and seated at the sushi bar for the first time. That's my only complaint- you sit so low you cannot watch the chefs perform their artistry! And our dish of rolls and sushi was pure art. Delicious salmon and tuna sushi, rolls so beautiful you hated to disturb them. Great menu that includes- chicken, lamb chops and more. A bit pricey but fine for the service, atmosphere and fine food. We're gonna be regulars.

Clean and cozy place!

My sister had teriyaki chicken with fried rice and I ordered the Katsu chicken with steamed rice. I also ordered the tempura shrimp. The food was good over all but I felt my rice was a little tepid. Served in stone dishes the food felt fresh and well presented. Now both my sister and I unknowingly had digestive disturbances later that day. I even called out sick Monday because my stomach was so upset. I didn't eat dinner that night so had to attribute my illness to the shrimp. I am sure their food is good but having that experience makes me reluctant to go back. That said it is not on my side of town. The place is clean and tidy. Worth a try.

My best friend brought me here as somewhere she gets poke from, I decided to try the pork Katsu curry because it's one of my favorite Japanese dishes, and it was so good.

The prices are pretty normal for what it is, I think mine was about.$17 Definitely need to come back and try the poke, I had a bite of my friends and it was delicious too

Just a few steps down from the main food court and away from the loud noises and conversations, you can eat in peace and have a nice conversation with your friends. Mark Sushi, the name of the restaurant was named after the owner's young son, offers great options including fried dumplings, tempura, bento boxes, chicken bowls, and a large selection of sushi and sashimi. I ordered the mango avocado salad, which was filled with delicious and thinly slices of mango and avocado. This salad was very fresh! It contained fresh seaweed and leafy greens. Sesame seeds were added to the top of the salad. For $7, I don't think you can get a better salad than this one. My main entrée was the salmon bento box. The rice that was underneath these 5 pieces of salmon was very good. Along with the rice was the sauce, which gave the dish some great savory flavor, this part of the bento was delicious. My favorite? They were the pieces from the California rolls. As I ate these pieces, I loved the crunchiness from the cucumber, and the crab meat and the fresh avocado gave these 5 pieces a nice taste for my tastebuds. Oh? What about the broccoli tempura? Cooked to perfection. These florets were cooked in oil, but they were not oily. Not at all. The place is small. Perhaps no more than 25-30 diners, but the owner and his 2 staff members were very nice. He checked on us often, making sure our group is doing okay. If you are at Colorado Mills Mall and want to eat something other than some so-so food at the food court, walk toward Dick's Sporting Goods , which is Gate #5. There, you'll find a hidden gem you didn't even know. You will thank me.

Or were they slow to clean up? Either way, it looked messy and unclean. The chef's young child was running around behind the counter, and in and out of the kitchen. Not quite professional in appearance. As for the food. I got a spider roll that was very tasty. I also got salmon, tuna and unagi nigiri. To be honest, the pieces of fish were so big that it was almost impossible to eat the piece as one. The rice fell apart and made it a little difficult. I actually prefer some smaller pieces of fish, but even with that criticism, the fish was very tasty. When I go back again? I'm not sure. It was still almost $40 for lunch, which is a little high considering I only had water to drink.

Honey, before I begin this culinary TED Talk, let me explain why this glamazon even sashayed…read morethrough the door. I kept hearing whispers. Rave reviews. Local legends. So naturally I showed up to investigate with my appetite, my unrealistic and dramatic standards, and the emotional support personality of someone who writes sonnets about raw fish. I'm not here for dinner. I'm here for an experience. Possibly emotional closure. I adore sushi. Which means my expectations, even in a landlocked state, are higher than my credit card balance. The restaurant itself? Oh, she's that mysterious queen tucked into a strip mall like she's avoiding her ex. Tiny. Moody. Dimly lit. The kind of place you almost don't want to review because selfishly, you NEED your favorite table available. Reservations, darling. Don't test fate. This hidden gem has officially been outed. When the sushi arrives, it arrives it not on some precious little plate. On a giant wooden cutting board fit for a king, or queen (wink). Sharing is caring. Unless you touch my last piece. Then all bets are off sweetie. The service? Fabulous. My waiter, (only went by S on the receipt...odd) mastered the ancient art of appearing exactly when needed and vanishing before becoming part of the conversation. Attentive without hovering. Give that man an Emmy. I ordered the Red Dragon Roll:Salmon, yellowtail, and avocado tucked inside...then crowned with tuna, jalapeño, and sriracha. Now let's discuss Miss Thing. The slices were thick. THICK. Like that gorgeous hottie you deny eyeing. Decadent. Chewy. Gorgeous. My only complaint? Girl, my mouth did not sign the consent form. I tried to be elegant. One dainty bite. Then the entire roll exploded like it had unresolved family issues. Halfway through I abandoned etiquette and accepted that looking cute was no longer on today's agenda. The salmon? Baby, If salmon tastes like it has unresolved trauma from three Tuesdays ago, I'm calling the authorities. THIS salmon? Fresh enough to still have opinions. It practically looked at me and said,Girrrrrrll, did you see what that tuna was wearing? That's exactly the level of freshness I want. Now, the rice. Rice is the structural engineering of the sushi. It should faithfully escort my sushi all the way to my mouth before gracefully retiring from public service. Mine only fell apart because those glorious salmon slabs required a jaw unhinge worthy of a python. So today, the rice has been pardoned. Knife work? Every slice looked intentional. Like someone whispered apologies to the blade before making each cut. Were a few pieces larger than others? Maybe. But honestly, the only thing smaller than my patience is my mouth. (Side eye) How do I feel about Wasabi? Please don't flirt with me. Attack me. I want enough wasabi to make me briefly question every life decision that led me into this restaurant. I want polite volcano energy. Like finding a lit firecracker in your sock drawer while someone calmly says, Enjoy! Presentation? Listen...Everyone online wants tiny edible flowers with tragic backstories and microgreens raised by monks. This restaurant said, no. Here's your beautiful sushi. On a massive communal cutting board. Figure it out. Honestly? Kind of iconic. The sauces also deserve applause. Nothing was drowning beneath an avalanche of spicy mayo and eel sauce. Because once every roll tastes like sauce... Congratulations. You've invented sushi-flavored ranch. Creativity is wonderful. Restraint is sexier. How was the cleanliness? EXCUSE ME. This place was immaculate. I'm convinced tiny sushi ninjas silently materialize every few minutes to eliminate fingerprints before they even happen. Not one sticky soy sauce bottle. Not one questionable table. Not one crumb living rent free. Ten out of ten. No notes. And the sushi chefs Calm.Focused. Mysterious. Absolutely looked like they've silently judged forty thousand chopstick techniques and still wake up disappointed in humanity. Next visit I'm ordering the nigiri. If the chef hands it to me with one solemn nod like they're entrusting me with ancient forbidden knowledge, I'm legally obligated to cry. Finally... The bill. Expensive sushi? Perfectly acceptable. This place actually felt refreshingly reasonable. Because my personal rule remains undefeated: If six pieces of salmon cost the same as my monthly car payment... That salmon better know my name, my zodiac sign, and ask how my mother is doing. Final Verdict: Hidden gem? Absolutely. Fantastic fish.Great service. Immaculate restaurant. Generous portions.Zero gimmicks. Just excellent sushi quietly minding its own business. Five fish flips out of five. Now excuse me while I make another reservation before the rest of y'all ruin my favorite table.
