    Stopped by for a midday snack. We had shrimp tempura and spring rolls. The food was quite good so we ordered some sushi rolls. Their sushi is top shelf! I had a Sapporo. Our server was friendly and attentive. The restaurant was clean and the bathroom was clean. Handicap accessible with a parking lot in the back. Prices are reasonable and the atmosphere was peaceful.

    We order from Red Ginger often at work. I love their Bento Boxes. Nice semi-healthy lunch. I alway get the Teriyaki Chicken. It comes with a nice size white meat chicken, steamed white rice and steamed veggies of carrots, zucchini and broccoli with the Teriyaki sauce. Sometimes they even provide us with extra sauce. It is accompanied by tempura assorted veggies to dip in a sauce. Although sometimes it isn't much of an assortment. Last time I only received sweet potatoes. Still good. I love the tempura veggies. In the Bento box is also a small side salad, typical garden salad variety with a delicious dressing and two california rolls. I do wish you could choose a different kind of sushi roll with the meal instead of the California rolls. This is a great restaurant for large group catering. It always comes on time and the food is warm. I have never had any issues ordering from them.

    Best cheap sushi place ever!!! Only $10-11 for special rolls. Mt Fuji is the best bang for your buck, literally 12 pieces for $10 and so delicious. Can't wait to come back

    California Roll & Shrimp Tempura Roll with Ginger & Wasabi
    Lee W.

    Red Ginger was a great find, with great prices! It wasn't busy on this particular Saturday. We arrived about noon & we're seated promptly. Our server was friendly however the service was a little slow. The restaurant was decorated with Japanese paper umbrellas & lanterns hanging from the ceiling, it had a nice vibe, cool lighting & paint color too. There were three sushi chefs preparing meals in the open, surrounded by a bar with customer seating. There were also tables and half booths to choose from as well. We ordered one California Roll, one Shrimp Tempura Roll & an order of Cream Cheese Wontons. The front of the menu advertised Sushi Rolls 30% off, but on the restaurant window & on the paper order form it advertised 40% off rolls - it's 40% off. The rolls were nicely displayed with an orchid flower on a long platter. The size of the rolls were small but you still got eight pieces. The California Roll pieces kept falling apart - they were not as filled as I would expect, & it needed more seasoning. The Shrimp Tempura Roll had a lot of flavor & were very good. Gosh, you can't beat the price tho, $5.39 each! The wontons were wonderful, very crispy & creamy on the inside. The sweet & sour dipping sauce had good flavor but was thin. All in all a good lunch. I'll return to try out more of the 40% off sushi rolls!

    Stoped in randomly for lunch... I was blown away! This place is a little hole in the wall off Broadway and 6th, and I'm obsessed! Sushi is SO good, super friendly staff. Warm and welcoming. Will return for sure

    3 different long menus to try and decipher and order from
    Pamela M.

    The prices are a bit less -- not sure if or how long that might change. Small place inside and if they do anything at all, they need to stop having SO many menus!! They handed us 3 physical menus. One in color with pictures and two in black and white. Prices vary between them both higher and lower. Looking around the place, there were 3 more signs with more menu "special" items. They need to stop with the menus. It's so damn messy, unorganized, and they need to streamline communication to their customers. No one wants to get a headache trying to figure out 6 menus. The server was very hands off about explaining the various menus and even said "I just work here" -- yeah you do work there, exactly!! Learn how to answer questions, paid employee who wants me to give her my money in the form of tips. I had to work for my dollars why do some servers think they don't have to work for theirs? The rolls were fine. I didn't like their naruto roll very much (wrapped in cucumber). It's just overload there and too much going on for such a tiny spot. The need to organize and clean it up. The scallion pancakes were a bit oily but really tasty for something so simple.

    This was the best tasting and the most creative, aesthetically pleasing sushi I have ever had. Our server was so sweet and nice. All of the restaurant staff was so friendly! Nothing will ever beat the prices! Amazing prices with high quality food, extremely hard to find but Red Ginger has done it. The miso soup is the only miso soup I have ever had at a restaurant that tastes exactly the way my (Asian) mom would make. The house salad was perfection, the best type of ginger dressing that exists. We had tons of sushi, which was out of this world. My friend had chicken hibachi which she loved. Next time I'm in Denver I will be coming back!! Will be thinking about this sushi for a while!

    Spring Rolls
    Robbin B.

    Red Ginger is within walking distance from our condo in Denver so we decided to give them a try. I'll start by saying we're very dedicated sushi connoisseurs. I don't mind paying top dollar for high quality sashimi/sushi. In my opinion, you get what you pay for and Red Ginger is no exception. Super low prices = super small rolls and lower grade sashimi/sushi. Don't expect top quality sushi @ a low price. Spring rolls and presentation were good although, service was slow with only two tables. Red Ginger isn't for me, but possibly a great price range for many.

    Left to right: Lexus roll, Infinit roll, spicy yellowtail roll
    Jessica P.

    I'm really conflicted about my thoughts on this place. I'd probably give it 3.5 stars but rounded up simply due to the price. Firstly, the rolls are very small. I purchased three and am satiated after consuming them, but I was moderately surprised at the sized (moderately because the price explained it). The rice was cooked decently, albeit lacking a bit of flavor. As for what I ordered - I would not order the Infiniti Roll again. It was doused in too much eel sauce, and normally I wouldn't mind too much but the eel sauce tasted burnt. I would also not order the spicy yellowtail roll again as it was a bit bland. I'm not too sure what I expected with this roll, as the flavor and texture strongly resembled that of spicy tuna. Overall, I'd likely come back. The food that I've had was not incredible, but it wasn't terrible.

In general, it's been a laid back, go-to place to get a meal that will be much better than average for the price. I've been many times since before and after COVID, and it was one of my favorite repeatable spots in Denver. However, the crew totally dropped the ball with our visit today. My wife ordered a tonkatsu ramen and got a chicken tonkatsu set instead (chicken cutlet, not bowl of ramen). To not make it weird, we just let that one be for the greater good of the table because it was our anniversary, grandparents were visiting, and we are here often. Our hamachi kama (one of my favorite dishes in the entire city, normally something I'd highly recommend on this review) was never sent to the kitchen, leaving us waiting for over an hour with two young kids at the table who had finished 40 minutes before. I watched the staff's confusion from my seat, even after we had been told that it was on its way. It was never even started, and it was obvious. That stuff happens, but it's hard to hide what happened in an open kitchen where you can hear what people are saying. But then after they had the "oh crap" moment, it wasn't even expedited. It was gonna take so long that it wasn't worth getting, so two people had to leave our not-busy lunch without getting the main thing we brought them to Ototo for. We were asked to wait for the dish, waited 15 more minutes, and it was not even close to ready. And while I appreciated the apology, the manager initially just tried to "take the dish off the bill," a dish we never received. So he basically tried to do nothing because no restaurant would charge for something that never came out. After I pointed this out, they took off part of the check, but that attempt at nothing under the guise of a comp was crazy. I've easily spent thousands at Ototo over the years. I've sent tons of people to Kizaki, Temaki Den, and the others. This will probably be the last time I go to Ototo. If you read some of the recent bad reviews, something is not working here anymore. I hope the otherwise amazing service at the other Dens can find its way back to Ototo.

From the moment we sat down, it was clear that the service here operates at a different level. Our server was exceptionally well versed in the menu and sake pairings, explaining ingredients, preparation, and flavor profiles with confidence and genuine enthusiasm. You can tell the waitstaff is deeply trained to understand the food, beverages, and how everything works together. Their sake recommendations were spot‑on and elevated the meal even further. Every dish we ordered was executed beautifully. The miso eggplant was silky and deeply flavorful, perfectly balanced between savory and sweet. The miso black cod was rich, flaky, and melt‑in‑your‑mouth tender, while the mixed seafood tempura was light, crisp, and impeccably fried without a hint of greasiness. Each appetizer showcased refined technique and restraint. The Colorado steak with truffled potatoes was another standout. The steak was cooked perfectly and paired beautifully with the earthy richness of the truffled potatoes, easily holding its own among the sushi offerings. The moment that truly made the night unforgettable was the Osaka‑style pressed sushi served aburi‑style. It quite literally changed my son's life and opened his love for sushi. We ended up ordering several more of these incredible bites of salmon, topped with mayo and lightly flame‑kissed, resting on perfectly seasoned sushi rice. The fish here is so clean, well cured, and expertly prepared that I strongly recommend ordering a side of fresh wasabi--it brightens and elevates the flavors even further. The lobster sushi and scallop sushi were also exceptionally fresh and delicious, reinforcing the level of care taken with their seafood. Dessert was the perfect finale. The green tea tiramisu was light, creamy, and indulgent without feeling heavy. To cap it off, our waiter brought us yuzu and lychee sorbets, which offered a refreshing, citrusy finish and showed thoughtful hospitality. As we were leaving, something small but meaningful stood out. All of the sushi chefs looked up, raised their heads together, and warmly thanked us with sincere goodbyes. It was a gracious, heartfelt gesture that perfectly reflected the hospitality we felt throughout the evening. We cannot wait to return.

    This is my Japanese comfort restaurant…read more One of the hidden gems of Denver, Domo is a Japanese restaurant that has been around for a long time serving home-style tradional Japanese meals. You won't find fancy sushi here or fusion cooking here, but rather tasty home cooked style classic Japanese dishes. Dishes like Japanese curry, oyakodon, and other donburi and noodle dishes. Having been here multiple times, I cannot recommend this place enough for a homey style meal. No joke, each meal here makes you feel warm inside, like a good home cooked meal. It's comparable to many meals I've had traveling through out real Japan. The flavors are simple, but each dish is well prepared while emphasizing conform over fancy preparation. You just cannot go wrong with any dish here, though I'm partial to the donburi, the green tea soba, and the hot pot. And if the meal is not enough, there is a beautiful garden to enjoy. If you catch it at the right time, the cherry blossom in the spring is beautiful and transport you right to Japan. Overall, Domo is a place that I'm always down to visit. It's warm, comfy, and nostalgic, and I just know I'll miss it when it's gone.

We started with the cucumber salad and shrimp shumai. The cucumber salad was refreshing, but the shrimp shumai had a strong fishy smell and taste that didn't seem very fresh--I couldn't eat more than one. For my entrée, I ordered the nabeyaki soup with ramen noodles and chicken, and it was excellent. The soy-based broth was rich and flavorful without being too salty, and the ramen noodles were cooked perfectly--tender with just the right amount of bite. Overall, Domo offers a really special atmosphere and a memorable dining experience. I wouldn't recommend the shrimp shumai, but I'd definitely come back to try another ramen flavor, and to see the cats again.

Smaller, well loved mom and pop restaurant that you can tell is a community favorite. This is a dying genre of Japanese restaurant we're seeing in SoCal (at least) with the rampant gentrification and rising rent, so this was a nice place to stop by. However, with that in mind, it's not the biggest restaurant, so definitely call in advance to put in a reservation if you have a bigger party, like ours. I want to add, to my amusement, that they have Shohei Ohtani themed dish menus here. The Japanese love him, no matter where they're at or from (as an LA adjacent native, this was pretty funny). For our visit, I got: 1) Negitoro Don: -It's a minced fatty raw tuna mixed with green onion on rice. -I've had this before at a fancy omakase and after that I've fallen in love with negitoro. Love the fatty, rich tuna with the crisp bite of the green onion and slight crunch of the nori bits they have on top too. -Delicious fresh fish and tasty, comforting rice dish. 2) J.F.C. - Japanese Fried Chicken: -We got 2 orders of this so our party can heartily enjoy. Goes great with the sauce they provided. Can't go wrong with crispiness of the breading and skin. Chicken was moist too. Good stuff.

For those not in the know, Chef Toshi Kizaki is one of the OG sushi chef in Denver, responsible for many great restaurants such as Sushi Den, Izakaya Den, Ototo Den, and Temaki Den. Both him and his brother, Yasu Kizaki, serves some of the best nigiri in Denver, and Kizaki has received a Michelin star in the past. The service at Kizaki is impeccable, starting with some pre-dinner drink at the bar, which they share with Margot, another Michelin darling. Once our table was ready, we were led back to our sushi counter in the back, which has been beautiful decorated with the fresh catch straight from Japan. From there, we were served some of the best bites in Denver. The dishes were expertly crafted and beautiful served. The chef even asked about our preferences and replace my wife's uni nigiri with a lobster nigiri, which was wonderful. Each nigiri bite was divine, and given the nature of service, I did not want to disrupt them with pictures and chose to just enjoy the moment. Honestly, this is the best omakase experience in Denver. It is expensive, no doubt, but it's the closest I've had in Denver to a true Japanese omakase experience. I would highly recommend Kizaki for any special occasion, though I would note that the place is frequently booked out so advance planning is a must!

    The wife and I were visiting CO for a few days while my mother has hip replacement surgery. We…read moreflew into Denver and needed a place to have lunch and Sushi is always on the menu. I grew up in California and I've been to Japan so I know good Sushi. Unfortunately this place isn't it. We started off with Gyoza and Croquettes. They were both OK. I had a cocktail with Empress Gin, Creme de Violette, Blue Matcha and Agave. The drink was creative and tasty. After that I had their spicy, crunchy roll with tuna along with a Tempura Bento with Shrimp. The Bento came with soup or salad. I went with the salad which was supposed to have Ginger dressing. However the dressing was a deep orange color and really tasted weird. I had the wife taste it and she also thought it was weird. The Tempura was decent but nothing special. All of the dishes we had were served on modern plates to give the dishes a modern flair. Our server was very friendly and attentive and the food was decent enough. So why the 2 star review? Well a couple of hours later my stomach felt upset and I ended up on the toilet the rest of the night. As this was my only meal of the day since breakfast, I'm pretty sure that Go Fish gave me food poisoning. Had this not happened I would have given this place 3 or maybe even 4 stars. I'm not sure what did it as the wife had some of the same roll I did and didn't get sick. I'm thinking it was that weird tasting salad dressing.

    I ordered takeout for lunch and went with the 3 roll lunch special. I used their online portal…read morewhich was quick and easy and tells you when your order is ready. You can customize your rolls so I went with the Philadelphia roll, Salmon roll, and Tuna Avocado roll, all which were delicious and had the perfect rice to fish ratio. This lunch special also comes with miso soup making it a great price point for what you get! I also added on a tomago nigiri which I was extremely excited for, however. when I went to eat it, it was ice cold and crunchy from being frozen. Overall my rolls were delicious and I wanted to love this place but the inedible tomago was definitely a let down. I will likely come back to try more items as I hope this was a one time issue!
