    Chirashi Bowl
    Stefanie C.

    How exciting to have come here for my birthday! My friends made a reservation for 15-20 people, which they could easily accommodate by putting a bunch of tables together. Cherry Creek parking in the evening isn't too bad, since many of the meters no longer run. Service is a little slow but very professional. They even asked me in advance if I wanted them to sing for my birthday. I said no. I enjoyed the most interesting-looking "Chirashi Bowl" with pieces of fish laid atop a flattened scoop of rice. This paired well with hot sake, as well as the chocolate cake they sent over for the occasion. It felt like a neighborhood Japanese spot, which is contrary to many restaurants in Cherry Creek. It's not at the top of my list, but I'd be happy to come here again and try more of their menu.

    I had a great experience at Sweet Ginger! The sushi was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Everything tasted high quality, and the rolls were made with care. The staff was friendly and attentive, and the restaurant had a clean, welcoming atmosphere. The prices were reasonable for the quality of the food. I would definitely come back and recommend Sweet Ginger to anyone looking for amazing sushi! Just gorgeous!

    So many restaurants in Cherry Creek North are overpriced and underwhelming. It is really nice to stumble upon ( thank you Yelp) a great restaurant like Sweet Ginger that is the exact opposite. Great HH with a great selection of appetizers, sushi rolls, drinks, and beers. Nice ambiance. Even though it is located downstairs there is plenty of natural light ( don't dig the disco edm version of pop songs....but we cant get it all? right?) Service was warm and friendly. The food was really good. I liked my tempura, wings, rolls....it was all good. It aint Sushi Den ...wow...but than again it is not Sushi Den Wow....how much was the bill (WTF?) Highly recommend and will be coming back over and over. Thanks guys.

    I really like this restaurant. The staff here are all very nice. The food is very fresh. After each meal, I always have a drink. Please stay for a while here!

    Snow crab, toro, volcano roll

    The atmosphere at Sweet Ginger is honestly lovely. I sat on their outdoor patio, and the setting couldn't have been more perfect--beautiful flowers all around and ideal weather. It made for a really relaxing environment. Our waiter (I wish I remembered his name!) was friendly, attentive, and answered all of my questions patiently, which I appreciated. Unfortunately, the food didn't live up to the setting. I came in really excited to try their sushi, but the quality of the fish and crab was shockingly low. The fish had a strong, unpleasant smell that hit before it even reached my mouth--not a good sign. The toro (fatty tuna), which is usually my favorite, was especially disappointing. It was the worst I've ever had--mushy, off-smelling, and just hard to eat. The only thing that was somewhat enjoyable was the peach martini, which was light and refreshing. As much as I wanted to like this place, I wouldn't come back. With sushi, freshness is everything--and sadly, that was missing here.

    Freaking delish! They have a good assortment of sushi, viet (pad thai), chinese.... all was really good and the Washburn was actually hot yes! Service was awesome and every dish we had got demolished. Also order chicken fried rice togo just to see. Way more reasonably priced compared to near by competition, to us, no competition! No comparison, walk another half block!

    Spicy Tuna Roll
    Tabitha B.

    This review is based on a takeout order- however I will start with saying that the restaurant itself is very quaint, I'd love to return and experience their wait service. I love the low-lighting atmosphere. Everything is fresh, and I could tell that by the taste. I've had a hard time finding good sushi in Colorado, and this place really hit the mark. The sushi did not taste old or fishy at all- very fresh and delicious. I also tried a side order of fried rice, and it was amazing. It tasted just like hibachi rice, which is a huge plus for me. They were quick and friendly with my order. I'll definitely be back!

    Fancy Roll and one I can't remember!

    Great food! The server was quick and attentive! The patio was very nice with plenty of space and umbrellas.

    Hot and sour soup
    Mallory B.

    I was absolutely in love with this adorable place. The patio is so cute! There were so many options, as well as a decent lunch menu. I was very impressed with my Shashimi!

    Used to love this place! However, I ordered sushi to go tonight and got home to an interesting looking sushi roll. When I called them to let them know they told me my food was supposed to look that way. ‍ Anyway it may be safe to eat but it doesn't look good so I ended up throwing everything away. this place used to be top notch in my eyes but has gone downhill. If you do order to go just ensure they properly package your meal and don't put hot items on top of raw food. Hope this helps.

    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.

(Hahaha!) The place is beautiful and the first thing my sister and I noticed waa the detailed design of their ceiling. There was so much intention placed in many things in the restaurant drom the little menu cubby under the table, to the hair ties in the girls's bathroom, or even the not so uncommon foot pull on their bathroom door so you don't have to open it after washing. The dishes were all delicious. All aspects of it thought of very well. Balanced meals with not too much salt, the proper acidity to liven the dish and even the textures were intentionally made. The BEST thing from this visit was our server, Hailey, who made the visit so personal. She made sure we had the right pacing to our courses and gave proper recommendations.

It really is not a restaurant that specializes in any particular food, but is certainly a crowd pleaser if you have people that want different things.
