    This place is cute, our server was fun and attentive, the sushi chefs were great and friendly, and the sushi was really fresh! I appreciated the presentation of the rolls, but really what I care about with sushi is ratio of fish to rice and freshness and this place definitely hit the mark. I also enjoyed the sake we ordered. We were going on a random Friday evening and were able to walk right and sit at the bar. It wasn't "no frills" but not overly fancy, just a pleasant place to eat some quality raw fish. I'll definitely be back!

    The sushi's at this place were fresh and very delicious, J loved it and my family did as well. The service was great, Braden, our waiter, was super nice, polite, and tried his best to be as fast as possible with our food. We had a huge amount of fun, and will come here often from now on.

    Great casual sushi spot with a good selection of rolls, fish, and other menu items. Nothing we ordered was extremely fancy but everything was solid and the presentation of our sushi was great!

    Went here for dinner and a show and had such a good time! The food was super tasty and came out hot and fresh. The staff was really friendly and on top of things, which made the whole experience even better. Definitely a fun spot for a night out!

    Walked in and got a table right away/. Service was fast. Servers were always attentive. Had Mile High, Las Vegas, & unagi rolls. They were all delicious. We also ordered hamachi kama that was cooked perfectly and very delicious.

    I have been craving surf n turf sushi ever since I tried it at Sprouts. I heard this place had it and wanted to try it fresh. I walked into a completely empty restaurant and I had to ask if they were open. They were fully staffed but no customers. It was nice to have the restaurant to myself to take pictures of my menu and food without other people looking, however. I started with the Kani Poppers. They were AMAZING! I love the crisp of the crust and the crunch of the jalapeños. The cream cheese added some creaminess to the mix and the sauce on top added the sweetness that tied all of the flavors together. It was a well balanced and filling appetizer. Of course for my entree I got the Surf n Turf Roll. I must say I expected a lot more flavor wise. The flavor of the filet mignon on top fell flat, and they stuffed the roll with a lot of avocado which I am not a fan of but I don't mind in sushi because usually there is only a small amount. The cold roll that I bought at Sprouts was way better and a lot more affordable which was disappointing to me. I will have to keep looking for a better surf n turf roll in Denver. I will say the service was good and the staff was friendly.

    Sushi hai has become a regular place we go each month. They offer a themed beer pong tournament in the bottom bar each month. We love all the workers. They are so friendly and remember us each time we come in. The sushi is pretty delicious and the drinks are awesome. Our favorite app is the gyoza for sure!

    Even though you can't dine in at restaurants in Denver at the moment, you can still order to-go, including at Sushi Hai! I was craving sushi the other night, so I decided to order from this spot since I had already been here once before, but dining in before COVID. I was a little worried because of course everyone wants their sushi to be as fresh as possible, and ordering to-go could be a bit scary. However, all of my concerns went away when I opened up my box of sushi at home and bit into the fresh, delicious sushi rolls! They were just as good as if I were eating at the restaurant. I got the Hailands Roll and Mile High Roll - highly recommend them both! I'll be back whenever I'm craving some good to-go sushi again!

I saw, from the reviews, that to come here without a reservation, you want to come right when they open. We saw a wave of people start lining up and congregating as we were parking. Luckily, we made it in the first wave of people seated. We were offered the choice to sit inside/outside. Our server was very attentive and friendly. The drinks and food came out quickly. We ordered the sake and the sake mule. Both were good! We also got 2 pieces of nigiri from Japan and it was heavenly! Other items that piqued our interest were the tuna firecracker roll, a salmon roll, and another tuna roll. Everything tasted delicious, although I was surprised by the asparagus in my rolls. I don't know that that is my favorite! We had a great experience and would love to come back.

    this place is one of my favorite hand roll places ever (from a girl coming from California who had…read moremany options)! I was in Denver to visit my friend, and I was telling her how I really liked hand rolls and so she recommended this place and it did not disappoint. We got here during happy hour when at first opened and immediately there was already a line luckily we were early so we did get seated a few minutes after arriving, and we were served relatively quickly. We got to sit at the bar and we ordered off of the happy hour menu, which was great because it had more than enough of what I wanted to try. We got several hand rolls and several of their other appetizers, but my favorite has to be their hand rolls. Their seaweed was so crispy and rolled so nicely. The rice was flavorful and their fish was so fresh. I felt like their prices were also pretty reasonable and I was more than content after having that dinner. Overall, I would put this very much on par with a place called Kazunori in LA. I heard that this restaurant has a sister restaurant called sushi Den that I heard was really good and that I will be trying out next time I'm in town. Please come try out Tamaki done if you're ever in the area the food will not disappoint. The restaurant is big with plenty indoor seating, but it will get packed and for good reasons because the food is so good!

    To celebrate our anniversary, we decided to come to Temaki Den and it did not disappoint (the hype…read moremakes a lot of sense). We thought we made a mistake choosing sushi bar instead of a table because we'll have back issues. Surprisingly, the chairs had a mini back so you could lean back occasionally. And we think our experience was better because the sushi chefs would explain the origin of the fish and all the ingredients they used into each roll and order. We also got a complimentary piece for sitting at the sushi bar which was a light fried yellow tail which was so good. Service is amazing. They're attentive and check in on you often. It does take some time to get your rolls but give its time to digest. From watching the sushi chefs at the bar, they're very precise in how they make each roll. Every roll has similar proportions from the slight wasabi they use to the amount of rice and fish. Everything that we had was amazing. The hamachi and salmon sashimi felt like butter. It just melts in your mouth. The aged toro was so delicious. Even the edamame was just so good. The unagi nigiri is some of the best I've had in the state (the nigri was better than the handroll and I think it's because I love unagi so I love the ratio in nigiri form). The Spicy Tuna Oshizushi was a surprising favorite of the night along with the Crème Fresh Salmon Belly. I could've done without the wagyu but it was good. Every order does come with only 1 so order based on the amount of people that are with your party. Some items we were unsure of like the wagyu so we ordered 1 and shared a bite. Overall, I understand the hype and the reservations. But it was worth it and I'm surprised we can get high quality fish in a landlock state. Of the high end sushi restaurants in CO, Temaki Den is probably my fave.

Everything was incredibly fresh, and you could tell the team puts real effort into balancing flavor while preserving the freshness of each ingredient in every dish. We also had a great conversation with Chef Christopher about the fish we love -- a really nice personal touch. Our only nitpick: the salt seasoning was a touch too strong on a few dishes.

The crab salad, seaweed salad and the cucumbers salad were all very refreshing. There was some service mix up where we had to asked for our food order - I don't think it was the waiters, but maybe the communication from the ordering system to the kitchen, and also the beers we ordered didn't come until we had asked for it towards the end of our meal. All in all the food and most of the experience were decent - we shall be back again!
