Pros - Server was very attentive and appetizers/drinks came out promptly…read more Cons - Rice to Fish ratio was terrible, never had AYCE put so much rice and so little fish on a nigiri. Qualify of the fish was questionable and looked just shy of being tossed out. The menu was also very small for an AYCE and the rolls were not clearly marked so we ordered two rolls but they were deep fried, without any clarification on the menu. Overall - I tried to try a new restaurant but ended up regretting it. $31.99 for AYCE but I've had buffet sushi that's way better. Wouldn't come back here again even if the price was half off.

Sushi Uokura is the only AYCE (all you can eat) sushi place in that general area (Golden/West…read moreLakewood) and it is very unfortunate that they seemed to have gone downhill quite a bit. Sushi Uokura used to have the best fish to rice ratio amongst all the AYCE places in the Denver metropolitan area which is no longer the case. The menu has always been the smallest as well which wasn't too much of an issue until recently where it has shrunk even more (I believe they only offer 7-8 nigiri) and no unagi (fresh water eel). Another unfortunate change is that the service used to be really good but lately it's been bad with long wait times to be seated and to put in our orders, infrequent check-ins, and incorrect food coming out at times. It seems like it is more of a management issue than the servers themselves. I used to really like this small, family-feeling AYCE spot and I hope they return to their previous, better form.

My oldest son loves sushi so we headed over for lunch. Yelp highly recommended this place so we…read moreopted to give it a try. First thing I noticed is that it's very clean and the decor is very pleasing to the eye. The menu is extensive and finely detailed. It was really hard to narrow down the choices to just a few. The miso soup was first rate. One of the better I've ever had. Our sushi came out about ten minutes after we ordered it and it was fresh, well plated and absolutely yummy. Our server was friendly and efficient. Our drinks were never dry and he knew the menu well. Parking was easy and it's a nice area of town. The only reason this wasn't a five star review is I felt the person that was allowed to sleep across the chairs in the very front of the dining room was tacky. It really took away from the overall ambiance and my eyes just couldn't stop being drawn to the situation.

I was recommended the golden mill by many people when visiting golden and had to give a try! On…read morefirst glance, it is located right along the river that goes through the town, which is an amazing view. Once inside there is a first floor that has a few different food options as well as the pour your own beer options as well. In order to partake in the beer option, you need to get a card that you can tap to the machine and you pay per the ounce. They have other drinks beside beer on tap as well such as different types of cocktails. They have a great food selection. That includes many different varieties of food throughout the venue as well. The top floor also has a few additional beer options as well as food options. I decided to go with a barbecue option which I got a brisket sandwich which was really good as well as a side of fries and some of the barbecue sauce. I also got a beer on top from one of the local breweries. It was a chilly day out, but I still wanted to sit on the patio on the top deck, so we sat by a fireplace. They have a ton of different fireplaces, all throughout the top deck as well as the lower deck as well so sitting outside was an option for the time of the year that I was there which was March. Maybe in the dead of the winter they don't have this option but just keep that in mind. Anyways, I thought the view of the course brewery factory right across the way was really cool to see as well. The food was really good and I love getting beer by the ounce because if you don't like the beer, you can just get a different one and you don't have to make a whole glass pour every time you get one. I definitely would recommend the golden mill. It definitely seems like a place that a lot of locals hang out and there is a food or beverage option for everyone so even picky eaters would love this place. If you are in Golden, you have to visit!

This is a real toss up for me. We were with a visitor who had been there when in Golden for a…read moreconference and thought we would like the concept of a food hall and like the sort of food she had there in the past. I am familiar with food halls at home in Boulder that I like and frequent regularly. This was nothing like them in so many ways. It was obvious that this is lived locally but in a holiday it was so ham packed that it was unpleasant for a newcomer to negotiate. Yes, for beer lovers the concept of self serve from the many taps and pay by the ounce Baxter so many in stock is novel, but I don't drink beer or margaritas and I could not find a simple ice tea. There were sodas from a machine which also did not suit me either. The concept of the scan card seems good for the cafeteria atmosphere and the beer supply but the food places did take credit cards, where at least you see the receipt etc. you leave the card in a box when you leave and they charge the credit card you entered to get it. No real review apparently by the customer. Most of the food I saw in menus and the tables were not my style either, huge portions of mediocre looking food. My husband had trouble figuring it part of the ingredient in the biggest burrito I have ever seen. He could not pick it up fore the crema decorating the tortilla which was thicker than any I've ever seen. On the other hand, my food was fairly good though grease dripped out at every bite. It was a Gordita made with crisp little corn cakes and the al pastor filling was tasty. The others in the group all had large portions of unappealing to me food so I did not taste and far too. Big for a healthy lunch. While we were eating at compared communal tables , the restrooms across from them were propped open for the steady stream of users. But on a holiday weekend a prime lunch time when we arrived, it was the only option. The entry line to get the pay card was nearby and the line went up the stairs to the entry with at least 20 to get and register the card, many with children in tow. Our guest knew where to park so that was no problem jf you are willing to pay to park for a meal. We were, but would have lived a quality meal and not a madhouse. The only staff person I spoke with because her food was dessert and not peak season for ice cream was so friendly and helpful and mad a custom snack size of her New Zeland style treat. She saved the day for me. I will not return but others in our party might should the occasion arise and clearly the locals who are regulars keep them well supported. I will stick with my local more intimate and curated food hall kitchens.

We spent $50 for maybe a total of 15 pieces of sushi which were significantly less quality than what we are used to even just down south.

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.

Two friendly guys greeted us and they let us pick any table to sit. The wall of pictures with XL photos were awesome to preview the rolls which were mostly marked with 10 pieces so I had a feeling the portions would be generous. Not that it stopped us from ordering too much though! Okay, normally I would never consider mall sushi, just saying. But you might find me coming back here. Super convenient. Fresh huge pieces. Great sushi place to bring my hungry kids! Clean and festive decor, loved the colorful umbrellas. We met the owner Ko Ko who said they've been open for about 2 years. Very friendly and courteous. We parked right in front of Dick's and walked into entrance 5. Mark Sushi is right there. Give it a try!

Mika Sushi has great Yelp reviews and they're not far from our house. We ordered them on DoorDash and we were stuffed after dinner! When I say stuffed...these were some of the LARGEST sushi rolls I've ever had. Normally I can house two specialty rolls, and these were LOADED to the brim. My mouth was barely wide enough to down these GIANT rolls in one bite (keep it PG). Mexican Roll ($16.95) // spicy yellowtail, cucumber, salmon and jalapeño. A little heavy handed on the sauce. Spicy, savory, tasty. Godzilla Roll ($17.95) // spicy tuna, spicy yellowtail, avocado, tuna, seared salmon, special sauce. Loaded with flavor, well balanced, filling. Rock Shrimp ($10.95) // fried shrimp with creamy sauce. Their take on bang bang shrimp. These were good, but would've been even better fresh out the fryer at the restaurant. Simple, easy, can't go wrong. I have to reiterate that these were maybe the BIGGEST sushi rolls ever. I don't know if it translates in the photos. Normally a sushi roll is sliced into 8 pieces; these could've been 10 or 12 pieces! I am full just thinking about this meal! Will have to check out the actual restaurant one of these days. Thanks for filling our bellies on a cold winter night.

Located in a very non descript strip center, Mika is serving up some of the best sushi bites I have ever had. (FYI.... my last meal on earth will be sushi.... so I have a take out menu with me!). Mika is a friendly little sushi place with a modest menu with very very reasonable prices. My bff and I headed there (at my request) for our last meal of 2024....... let's celebrate I told her. So we sat back in our seats, ordered up some sake and wine and got to it. First up, their 8 piece sushi plate with a California Roll, soup and salad for $20.99. That's right 8 pieces, a roll, soup and salad.... a killer deal.. The pieces were very nice size and extraordinarily fresh. I don't really love a CA roll (but my bff does).... and Mika's was really nice. But the biggest surprise was the miso soup..... I think there was fairy dust in it. It was sooo perfect.... I don't usually order soup (fills me up and I can't more fish). Okay, next (that 8 piece is gonna be hard to beat). We ordered the Arvada roll. We are in Arvada, just seemed appropriate (and extremely kitschy!). The waitress delivered a 10 piece roll on a platter (not a plate). Inside spider, mango, spicy tuna and avocado wrapped with soy paper. I love soy paper! This roll was lovely, plentiful amount of fish with the perfect sweet spicy combination.... wow! Gonna be near impossible to beat this one... but nooo..... Next up, the Godzilla roll with spicy tuna, spicy yellowtail, avocado inside, topped with tuna, salmon seared with special sauce. The flavor was amazing, a light smokey seared salmon kinda stole the show.... but this roll came together in perfect harmony of flavors. Oh dear I am stuffed, but I WANT MORE. Next time I guess.....

I opted for the Chateau Ste. Michelle Sauvignon Blanc from the Horse Heaven Vineyard, and it was lovely. It was very refreshing with light citrus notes that weren't overpowering and a really nice body overall. I also have to give a shout-out to the staff for the presentation; the glassware was crystal clear and spotless, which always makes the drink taste a little better. The atmosphere is perfectly casual, with TVs playing the NFL playoffs (and presumably other sports), making it a relaxed spot to hang out without being too "stuffy." We dove into their large food menu and started with the fried pickles and the spinach artichoke dip served with veggies, both of which were delicious. The service was friendly and jovial throughout the visit, which made us feel right at home. The only reason I'm knocking off one star is that we had a small lapse in service where we had to ask a second time for lemons for a glass of water, but the staff was so pleasant that it was a minor blip in an otherwise excellent visit. I'll definitely be back to work my way through more of that wine list!

Drove into Golden, "It Was Busy!" A country Singer was at Red Rocks, still I found more than what I had known in the past! First: FREE PARKING, covered or outside off of Washington and 12th. I felt I had won the Lottery. As I was exiting, a man pulled in next to me, and stated, Indulge Bistro around the corner is "Fantastic, you and your Service Dog will love it!" He was spot on. A short corner walk, the street were crowded, I thought, has Golden changed so much - I have been out of the loop? Strolling past a lovely "Every Table Filled" with delighted guess enjoying food and conversation. Pretty Eyes and I walked into the Front Entrance, What a Lovely Presentation. Immediately I was greeted by Pearl, a lovey young lady who sat us inside, (I was over done on the heat!) She asked if we would like water or a drink, I prefer Ice Tea, and some water in our special Doggy collapsible bowl. Service was prompt, with menues with a Special menu, "Staff Suggestions!" This fit my desire for an incredible salad. "Butternut Squash with Feta cheese, walnuts, over frisée, drizzled with a Maple syrup house fashioned dressing!" YUM Do you have a small plate of chicken, nothing special please, Pretty Eyes and I enjoy our meal together, "Please a simple portion/child portion would be great." What the chef prepared was phenomenal. If I were not a vegetarian, (sampling for spice) I would have gobbled the glazed chicken myself. The chicken was freshly cooked, with a ever so slight glaze, TENDER was the primary touch. The service was exemplary! Especially learning the facts. Pearl and Daryl were the ONLY TWO servers!! Daryl took orders, made the drinks at the Bar and Tables besides taking food order, delivery the delicious meals to all on the patio, at the Bar and tables!! Pearl presenting seating, drinks - menu and cleaning up after customers left. This is a HUGE amount of work, and accomplished flawlessly. I had to ask, "am I out of the loop on the busyness of Golden?" "No, we have a famous country singer at Red Rocks for several nights; these are all people from Texas, Arkansas, Kansas, New Mexico and more states including Colorado. During my time at Indulge Bistro, I watched while two women accomplish a daunting task in seating, taking orders, delivering, clean up, bartending - with out as much as a whisper of non contentment. Instead many "Thank You from all customers." More than IMPRESSIVE! And the food was Incredibly Delicious. I will admit I would had preferred less frisée, yet the salad was unbelievably delicious I could not shave off 1/2 of a star! The service extraordinary from two lovely woman, and the Ambiance is not wanting for any more extras. The wine list, the surround bar, entrance, patio, Free Parking, excellant service without a complaint nor appearance of overwhelm! These ladies are professionals, with a steadfast demeanor to accommodate every customer who walks through Indulge Bistro Glass Doors in Golden Colorado. AMAZING!
