Stopped by Mika Sushi in Arvada on a Friday around 11:30am for an early sushi lunch. There were…read moreonly about three other tables occupied, so it wasn't busy at all. WHAT WE SWALLOWED: *FRIED BLUE CRAB: Oh, this was GOOD! The breading was on point, perfectly crispy and golden, and the crab came out nice and hot. Crunchy on the outside with delicious crab goodness on the inside. *SPICY EDAMAME: Hmmm...this one was just OK. I normally love me some spicy edamame, but something about the seasoning was a little off. Couldn't quite put my finger on it, but the flavor just wasn't doing it for me. Honestly, I wish we'd stuck with the plain edamame instead. Sometimes simple is better! *SUSHI FOR TWO/CALIFORNIA ROLL: NOW WE'RE TALKING! The fish here was really fresh and tasty, and I especially loved the hamachi and salmon. So good! And can we talk about the presentation?! Our sushi came out with this really cool ICE ELEPHANT sculpture. Talk about fancy! LOL! It definitely made for a fun presentation, but there was one little problem...the thing kept MELTING! Water was running down our table and creating a huge puddle on the floor. Our poor server kept slipping on it! YIKES! *JALAPEÑO HAMACHI: Oh YES! This was another winner! The hamachi was so fresh and delicious, and that little kick from the jalapeño made it even better. I could happily order this again! If you're craving some good sushi in Arvada, Mika Sushi is definitely worth checking out.

Sadly, not the Sakana I remember…read more Sakana used to be such a wonderful restaurant. I've been coming here for 10 years and it was my go-to Japanese spot. Over the last year and a half, I've noticed the food quality really decline. I hadn't been back in almost a year, but my sons convinced me to give it another try tonight. Unfortunately, we were all disappointed. The karaage chicken was hard as a rock and overcooked. The katsudon was also way overcooked and lacked flavor. The only thing that was okay was the shrimp shumai. Service was rough too. Our table wasn't pre-bussed, and we felt pretty ignored. When the waitress did ask how it was and I told her she then just wanted to argue with me about the chicken being well done and not even edible and I even showed her I couldn't even eat it. Wasn't even chewable. It was so cooked. It's just so sad to see how far this place has fallen. I really hope they can turn it around because having a good Japanese restaurant nearby meant a lot to us.

However, you should never judge a book by its cover, and you should never judge a restaurant by its decor and exterior. To start off this review, I want to say that THIS PLACE SERVES REAL WASABI. Nearly all sushi restaurants serve fake wasabi constituted from horseradish. The last notable sushi experience I had that came with real wasabi also came with a three digit bill. But this place doesn't charge an arm and a leg for their sushi! In regards to the sushi itself, it was extremely good! Each piece of sushi was extremely well-crafted. Nothing was falling apart, and everything was cut to identical dimensions. The sushi tasted fresh, and the proportion of rice to fish was perfect. Even pedestrian rolls were made with care, like my California roll, which was packed full of crab salad filling. Overall, I Love Sushi & Poke serves up excellent high-quality sushi with REAL WASABI for rock bottom prices! I urge all sushi aficionados to try this place out!

All of our dishes were fair, not that great to straight up terrible. The Wagyu beef roll was awful. I'm not even sure it was Wagyu - it was so dry and tasteless. Wagyu should be soft and melt in your mouth flavorful, but nope. I'd dare to say they are passing off thin cuts of meat as Wagy - hope not, but I'd believe it if someone told me that was true. Do not order this roll if you go! We had a few other rolls including the spicy poki roll, which wasn't spicy at all. In total we orders 4 rolls and an app plus 2 drinks for a little over $160 (includes tip) Overall ... Atmosphere is fair, tables are tight. Barely anyone was dressed up, so a bit disappointed in that regard as it felt like a fast casual restaurant. Maybe it is?...not sure what they consider themselves. Service- our server was pleasant. Not fantastic, but nice. They had a lot of tables to manage! Food - disappointing to bad! Drinks - fair - nothing really special.

They do charge a bit more than your typical AYCE sushi spot, but the quality absolutely justifies it. The rolls are beautifully balanced -- fish, avocado, rice, everything in harmony -- and I was impressed that hardly any of them relied on imitation crab as filler, which is something I see far too often elsewhere. The sashimi and nigiri selection is excellent as well, and personally, I gravitated toward the sashimi to avoid the carb overload that comes with nigiri. I was also pleasantly surprised that there was no wait. The restaurant is spacious, and our server was incredibly attentive. She walked us through the process and the rules, making the whole experience feel easy and welcoming. The rolls themselves were fantastic -- thoughtfully crafted and delicious. I especially enjoyed the Naruto roll, wrapped in cucumber instead of rice, which was a refreshing change. We ordered about five rolls, including the Naruto roll, plus crab wontons, sashimi, and dessert, and I can confidently say we got our money's worth. I highly recommend this place.

5/5 -- Sushi in the Rockies? You Bet!…read more I'll be honest, finding sushi this good in Lakewood, Colorado, is pretty impressive considering the nearest ocean is about a thousand miles away and the only thing swimming around here is probably a trout in a mountain stream. You don't exactly expect to find fantastic sushi sitting in the middle of the Rocky Mountains, but somehow, these folks have figured it out! The sushi was absolutely delicious, the quality was impressive, and everything tasted fantastic. Whoever is behind that sushi counter clearly knows what they're doing! I came in expecting some decent landlocked sushi and left wondering how a place surrounded by mountains instead of ocean manages to pull this off so well. Five stars all day long! If you're craving sushi in Colorado and don't feel like driving all the way to the Pacific Ocean to get it, this place has you covered. Fresh fish, mountain air, and absolutely zero beachfront property. Somehow, it works!

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.

With the meal comes the entertainment. All the food is cooked in front of you with a dramatic flair! The cook shuffles the utensils and seems quite efficient. Yet it's all done with a smile and some laughs. On the grill goes the noodles and the veggies and the meat or fish. The rice was made into fried rice with a couple of eggs. And those eggs...the cook flipped them around with ease before cooking them to mix into the rice. We passed on the saki but I watched on other tables as they received a shot of saki if they held their mouth open to receive it squeezed out from a container. We had a large group but most of us had the chicken and some added scallops. Before our plates were loaded with food we had a small salad and a bit of soup. Then in turn each plate was loaded with the proper food. Yum yum! I took home enough to feed me the next day. We took several photos that give you an idea of the fun from a burst of fire on the grill to one of the plates. This restaurant is not fancy but the food was good and our party of 8 had a lot of fun. We did call ahead to reserve our table and we went on a Thursday to celebrate a birthday. Still the place was busy so it is popular. So if you want to enjoy a fun time and decent food then give this place a try.
