    Sakana Roll, Special K Roll, Roll combo, Unakyu roll
    Sammy T.

    So good!! We ordered the Sakana Roll, Special K Roll, Roll Combo, and Unakyu Roll everything was delicious' The fish tasted super fresh and the Roll Combo came with miso soup that was warm and just right. The staff were really nice, and the place is super cute and nicely decorated!

    Service is always good. Food is IMMACULATE, fresh good sized sushi portions for a good price. Ambience is nice, I always enjoy the music they have playing. I'd recommend this place to anyone in the area wanting some good quality sushi.

    Being in the center of the states, sushi can be pretty meh. However, Sakana was quite delicious. It was quite busy when we got there but found seating quickly. The sushi tasted fresh and it was delicious. The unagi and fatty tuna were tasty. The fried chicken was nicely crisped so it's quite crunchy with each bite. The takoyaki was super flavorful and you can taste a nice blend of the sauce with the batter and the octopus. Just delicious little bite. The ramen was pretty good. It wasn't a standout. My bf recommends the curry ramen next time so if you're looking for a recommendation, I would try that. It's quite spacious and nicely decorated. Staff is friendly. Food comes out quick. Can't complain much.

    After a long hard week of moving into our new place, we stopped at Sakana. First things first, do not let the exterior fool you - the interior has such a cute, neutral, clean and foresty vibe. It is warm and inviting and even the music that is playing is pleasant. On a Thursday evening we were sat almost immediately and our serve was at the table within minutes taking our food order. Our server was Jared and he was absolutely delightful! He was extremely knowledgeable about the menu, anticipated our asks and for the one small mistake that did happen (our daughter's tuna roll had wasabi on it - it comes that way and we didn't know) he was very quick to have it adjusted and so kind. Now onto the food: We ordered: - Pork Gyoza 5/5 - Spicy Miso Ramen 3.5/5 - Spicy Tuna Rolls 3/5 - Crunch Spicy Tuna Roll 4/5 - Tuna Roll 5/5 The Pork Gyoza is just as everyone says, amazingly delicious and cooked to perfection. It had the perfect balance of flavor. The broth of the Spicy Miso Ramen was delicious, we have been searching for a good spicy ramen, and while the broth on this one met our expectations, the other additions (egg and bok choy, pork and noodles) did not retain the flavor well. The spicy tuna was not spicy at all, I almost thought to ask if we had accidentally received the regular tuna. However, it was extremely fresh and still had good flavor. The crunchy spicy tuna had a bit more flavor, not so much spice, but flavorful in its additions. Lastly - the tuna roll, again very fresh, but it served with wasabi if you do not ask for it off - not my cup of tea, but could be excellent for the target audience. For all of this we spent less than $100 including drinks. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our experience and would come back for the service alone.

    I've been to this place twice now and had really good experiences! I've never had the sushi here, but I love going to this spot for Japanese comfort food. Entrées are $11-$17, so it's a great place to have a nice dinner without breaking the bank. I would recommend coming early since the restaurant is small and tends to fill up quickly. The appetizers are great, most notable are chicken karage, takoyaki, and gyoza. I absolutely love the Ramen here! The broth is flavorful and noodles are never overcooked. You can tell they put a lot of love into their Ramen! The curry beef bowl is rich in flavor and so hearty. To make it more filling, I'd recommend adding a cutlet because it's mostly curry sauce over rice. They offer competitive pricing for drinks as well. You can get sake for $4-$7 and large Japanese beer for $7. They have wine, but I don't believe they serve cocktails here. Overall, a lovely tucked-away spot where food is made with a lot of love!

    Great service here staff is super friendly and the food was great. Highly recommend checking this place out.

    The sushi roll, nigiri , and ramen all great tasting. Prices and service is great too

    Miso soup
    Courtney T.

    Delicious food at a super affordable price! It's a small space so there might be a wait for a table but it is well worth it. All of the staff were absolutely wonderful and the food came out quickly. The sushi was fresh and simple, which is the way good sushi should be. Don't sleep on visiting Sakana if you're in the Denver area!

    Spicy miso ramen
    Jason S.

    What a find! Came here last night based on Yelp! reviews. This is a true hidden gem and so glad I found it. Inside very quaint, clean and well lit. Staff here is awesome and for sure 5 star! Super friendly , knowledgeable and really made this a 5 star experience. For food I started off with the karaage chicken and while a little different than what I am used to but regardless it was delicious. I had the spicy miso ramen with added chayu, seasoned pork and added egg. Normally most ramen comes with an egg but this is a little $$$ either way this was so delicious! Can't even explain how fresh and amazing is was. What a great experience on a hidden gem located in a non obscure strip mall in the corner but it was worth every bite. Will for sure be back!

    Sushi rolls

    We came here for lunch on a Sunday and we were able to get a table right away. We got the dragon roll California roll and a specialty roll plus Unagi Nigri. Everything was tasty. The service was really good. Prices were OK and restaurant had nice decor. Good sushi if you're nearby but nothing to travel for.

    Tonkotsu ramen

    If you're in Westminster and craving some great sushi, Sakana's definitely worth checking out. I've been here four times, and it's always a solid experience. The takoyaki is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside--so tasty and always hits the spot. The fatty tuna and tuna sashimi are super fresh, and if they've got fatty tuna and uni on the menu (they're a specialty), don't pass them up. The tonkotsu ramen with butter and nikumiso (marinated ground pork) is perfect for cold days here in Colorado--it's rich, comforting, and always leaves me feeling full but relaxed. The butter and nikumiso are add-ons, but I highly recommend adding them--they really elevate the flavor. The crunchy spicy tuna roll is another one I always go for--delicious every time, though it could use a bit more spice. Despite that, it doesn't take away from being a really good menu item, and I'd definitely recommend it to anyone visiting. The gyoza are tasty as well, with a good balance of flavor. To cap off your meal, the sake jelly shot mix berry is a great choice for something sweet--just the right amount of sweetness to finish things off without being too much. Everything I've had comes out fresh, fast, and you can tell they're using quality ingredients. Sakana's vibe is perfect for anything from a casual hangout with friends to a laid-back date night. The staff is always welcoming, and you feel like they really want you to enjoy your time there. For what you get, the prices are reasonable--it's definitely worth it. If you're planning to go, try to get there early--it can get busy, but it's always worth the wait. I've brought a few friends here, and they've loved it every time. It's a spot you'll want to come back to.

    Sakana has been my go to Ramen and sushi joint. The owners are super awesome servers are very nice. If you've not tried their food, you must go. Ramen is always amazing. The Noodles are always fresh in the perfect chew. If you're a fan of Curry, try the curry Ramen best in town no questions asked. My girlfriend love the sushi specifically the Unagi and fatty tuna. Also, if you're going get the Takayuki.

    I'm conflicted - I came here wanting to love it. The place is smaller than other H marts I've been…read moreto and the bakery is privately owned within the store. The Spanish speaking staff struggled to understand English, could NOT understand Korean either. That said, he quickly tried to take down my info for the manager to call later - I decided to take a business card instead. The grocery selection was okay, not the best. Lots of patrons and employees working to keep things stocked. The cooked foods section smells delicious - and when I asked about the catering aigm advertised, the employee could not care less. She came off annoyed and brushed off my questions rudely - so I guess they don't cater? Website isn't helpful. Unfortunately, I can't get what I need easily elsewhere so I'm shopping here by default. I cautiously recommend this place - it's not friendly so be prepared to figure it out yourself . As soon as another Asian market comes available, I'll go there instead

    I heard about H Mart from a lady on the airplane actually!…read moreMy husband is living in Broomfield and I am visiting. I am so glad I came here. It has everything you could ever think of and then more. I enjoyed all the fresh fruit and vegetables immensely. The bakery was really cool. Fish and meat? Wow they have it all! They even have a liquor section tons of wine and sucky. Beers. It's a one stop you got it all here. I enjoyed the little restaurant inside for a cup of soup This place is packed full, so take your time when you get here. Very nice staff and easy checkout. Did I mention there is an Italian and Hispanic section? Hurry in you won't be sorry
