3 pieces Shrimp Tempura HH. Nicely battered and fried.
David G.

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
Lorena R.

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!

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.

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!
Stephanie M.

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!

Sashimi Dinner

One of the best restaurants in Cherry Creek! Service was good and food was excellent. Love the location and the patio area too. Highly recommend!

The experience truly begins with the reservation, where you are asked a series of questions from your familiarity with sushi, fish preference, appetite level, and so on. This truly is an in-depth questionnaire so that the chef Yasu could source fish from Nagahama fish market for your meal. It's an incredibly personal, curated meal. On the date of, you are led to a private room in the back, Denchu Den, which is a simple, private sushi bar for up to 4 guests. Then, Chef Yasu comes out for a truly intimate experience, one that is extremely rare to come by, even in Japan. It is truly just your party and the chef as he prepares some truly epic bite. And the menu is not set, it really depends on your personal taste, and the food continues basically until you tap out. As such, there is no set price, though typically we run up about $150-200 a person. It's a 2 hour experience during which you get to experience that Japanese hospitality with chef Yasu. We talked with him about his home, learned about his experience in Denver, and he provided some fun facts about sushi and Japanese in culture in general. I cannot praise this truly unique experience enough, and, in fact, we have been back here every single year. The cherry on top is that as you return, Chef Yasu starts to remember your preference and even past conversation. And it does not end there. Based on our conversation where I discussed my next Japan trip, Chef Yasu even took time to send us an email with his recommendations.

We ordered a bunch off the menu: shrimp and chicken karaage, two sushi rolls, sashimi, specialty drinks, hot sake, and dessert. I regret not taking photos of the menu but the sashimi we ordered was off the Toyosu market menu, which means the fish is flown in from Japan. It was yellowtail. Very tasty! The rolls were very good too. My boyfriend loved the karaage. The cocktails were pretty damn good. I had a spicy mezcal drink that I thought was very refreshing. The dessert was amazing! It was a banana cake with ice cream, miso caramel and some kind of crumb that was chef's kiss. The restaurant is pricey but I think it reflects the quality of service and food. I would come back but this place is definitely more of a special occasion type of place.

That was a big mistake. My friend was in the mood for fish and we also wanted to visit a couple of the galleries on Santa Fe Drive, so we took a chance for an early dinner. We were amply rewarded--the food was terrific, the space was comfortable, and the service was efficient and friendly. There's a small sushi bar at the entrance and a large, covered and enclosed patio to the south of the building (warm weather use only). You can't see the main dining room from the street, but it is tucked in the back of the building. The menu is not huge, but there's a good selection of starters/small plates, an interesting selection of entrées, plus fried rice and ramen options. There are multiple vegetarian choices in every part of the menu. The raw menu includes 26 sushi/sashimi choices, 26 regular rolls, eight vegetable rolls, and ten special rolls. Everything we tried was fresh and delicious. The seaweed salad was particularly good. The Unagi (freshwater eel) was extremely tender and flavorful. We also tried the Dragon Roll and the flavor and texture combination was great. Our other nigiri selections were beautifully sliced and at the peak of perfection. The place was totally packed by 6:00 p.m., but the service continued to be attentive and fast. We had a really great time and the bill was very reasonable. Give this place a try!

It's not trying to be over-the-top by any means it's just solid sushi at a fair price point. Would definitely return!

They have handful of tables i'm sure they can get cheap ipads and replace those papers. Also for people who are into hygiene (which is most) i really don't wanna touch a pencil which is touched by 100's... Parking is 50-50 you might get it , you might not. Food is good except the avocado sushi there's no flavor in it tbh and if there are any spices or any sauce in it then you can't taste it. Ambiance is good, it's cozy. A waiter did came to us multiple times to ask us if we need anything during food serving. But since it's cozy and there's not much space between tables maybe have a buzzer or a bell on tables so server only comes when customers actually need something. We spend around $100 on food for two people including one alcoholic beer. It's good for one time experience but if i wanna make this my spot i have to think twice about it.

Even the simpler dishes feel deliberate, which isn't always the case with izakaya-style menus. The atmosphere hits a nice balance: lively without being chaotic, cozy without feeling cramped. It works just as well for a casual dinner as it does for lingering over drinks. Speaking of drinks, the sake and Japanese whiskey selection is thoughtful and well-paired to the food.

Our server never came by. It was also surprising because the restaurant wasn't busy. There were open bar seats and plenty of open tables, so I'd be nervous to see what the experience is like on a busy night.
