Always a pleasure to be back at Temaki Den. They never fail to surprise me. I took my finance here for his birthday dinner and definitely impressed him. We ordered many things, all of the them are five stars but these are the Crown Jewels - Shoyu butter scallops, Aged Ootoro, and Black Snapper. They were incredibly busy but they took great care of us. They were a little slow with bringing out orders, but it really helped us to slow down and relax, truly enjoying the food.
Cool spot . The hand rolls were fresh but that should be standard for all places. I felt that the food is quite overpriced. Rolls were definitely fresh but not extraordinary in originality nor taste, kinda simple. Service was friendly. The restaurant is pretty nice . Beware of parking , they overcharge by $30 . We had to call to receive a refund for the difference that we were overcharged.
This was a great experience. I went for happy hour and it was a unique experience and the food was different than any other sushi place I've been. We sat at the bar and the service was a little slow and the timing of the dishes was sporadic. The ambiance is in what feels like a lobby of a corporate building but still good date night vibes.
This place is high quality, delicious sushi with a unique twist combining traditional and modern styles. We sat at the sushi counter and chatted with the sushi chefs who were very knowledgeable about the food and were able to offer lots of amazing pieces. Anything salmon is just incredible. Our server was attentive and professional, also giving great suggestions. I don't usually leave five stars, but I couldn't find a single thing wrong with our experience. The sake is delicious and their happy hour menu is very affordable, but well worth it to order the nigiri off the normal menu! Can't wait to save up and go back!
After hearing some good recommendations of this place for about 2 years I decided to give it a try. The ambiance is interesting, i wouldn't say comfortable. Because it was in the middle of a warehouse (inside The Source's bottom floor hotel). But its a good spot to catch up with a friend or strangers lol. I would have to say the price point were very friendly for quality sashimi & nirigi. The taste was on par with some of the priciest sushi restaurants in denver for about half of their price point in comparison. Everything was good, the only tedious thing I would complain is that all the food and drinks was "over-seasoned". Like the cocktails was so so sweet, their special butter miso was so so salty, you can feel the salt crystal start growing in the back of your throat after every sip (an exaggeration joke). But at the end of the day just wash it down with some water and you're good for the next bite. I came for the fish, fish was quality. Everything else can be manageable. Favorite fish piece is the Shima Aji. For a hand roll speciality place their maki rolls arent good...which is odd. Save yourself the money and just get the sashimi & nigiri.
I have been eating a lot of sushi recently. This is one of the best bites I have had. It's the salmon oshizushi. I can't wait to go again and redo my ordering and START with these and not eat them when I am already full. Prices very reasonable during happy hour. Great service. Only slightttt thing I would note to management is that is if a staff member is sniffling/sick you should encourage them to go home and still pay them because it's a smidge off putting to be hearing clear sniffling and sickness especially while eating raw fish.
I'd say it's more of a 4.5 because of their prices. It's definitely good quality but that should be the standard period, that shouldn't give places the right to upcharge lol. Regardless definitely fresh and tasty, and the service was great. They seem to have regulars so popular spot and the staff were very friendly. It's a pretty cute place too, modern ish. If you were eat here for dinner to get full though, you'd run a large tab.
Temaki Den was a great spot and located in a great location with many other places to explore as well. I got three hand rolls - blue crab, spicy scallop, and scallop, and spicy tuna. We even got a little soup to start, and since it was my birthday weekend, I got the yuzu black pepper sorbet as a treat. All three hand rolls were delicious and tasted very fresh. I would say my favorites were the crab and tuna ones. The yuzu black pepper sorbet was very unique, but I thought the flavors mixed together very well. The little soup was also very refreshing and a perfect opener to the meal. The workers were very nice, and service overall I thought was great. Would definitely recommend this spot if you're looking for a good lunch spot.
Very modern high ceiling open sushi bar atmosphere. We got the 5 temaki roll set with spicy scallop temaki and tangerine fed hamachi. Also tried shikoku breeze for our drink. All the food we had was delicious and we got a complimentary appetizer for bar seat service. Service was wonderful. Highly recommend making reservations in advance as this is a popular spot. Limited paid parking (first 30 min free) and also garage parking next building.
While the sushi was good, the service was slower than expected. Even though I was seated at the bar right in front of the servers, it took quite a while for my order to be taken and served. It was about 20 minutes before I received my hot sake and another 20 minutes before my single sushi roll arrived -- a bit long for a casual dining experience. The restaurant itself is spacious and located inside an old warehouse with graffiti-covered walls, giving it an urban, artsy vibe. I visited on a Tuesday night, and the place was fairly busy with several solo diners at the bar and most tables filled. As for the food, the shrimp roll was my favorite -- fresh and flavorful. The eggplant roll was also a pleasant surprise. However, the blue crab roll was disappointing, as it had a canned tuna taste. Overall, the rolls were pretty standard hand rolls, nothing particularly inventive or elaborate. I'd like to see Temaki Den improve their service speed to match the quality of their sushi.
One of the best meals I've had in my entire life. I keep saying this ruined sushi for me because I know this place exists. There is parking deck parking (not validated) and some parking in front of the venue. Plenty of options so no worries there. We are at the sushi counter and did the omakase and I highly suggest doing the same. Watching the chefs put everything together was such an experience. I love that omakase is built for you and what you like or don't like and can go on as much as you want to eat! Everything I tried was incredible. Not one bite of sushi I didn't enjoy. The drinks were delicious and strong. Overall highly suggest checking this place out. I dream of the salmon.
This was some of the best casual sushi I've ever had - casual as in not an omakase or super high end. Beware they are hand rolls and nigiri so there aren't the rolls you might be expecting at a normal sushi place here in the US. The 2 things you absolutely need to get are the scallop hand roll and the salmon oshizushi. I could probably eat 20 of each they're that good. The cocktail list was also excellent and the service was prompt and very friendly. One thing I like is they bring things out in "courses" so that everything can be eaten as fresh as possible. I think I have to come back here every time I'm back in Denver now.
The best sushi you'll find in the city, and honestly the best sushi I've ever had (I live in LA, and eat A LOT of sushi)! Incredible atmosphere, great bar option and cozy vibe. Super reasonably priced. The staff is fantastic and provided great recommendations. The butterflied scallop and Wagu sushi was incredible. I've gone back 5-6 times and have been craving it weekly since
this place is one of my favorite hand roll places ever (from a girl coming from California who had many 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! read more

To celebrate our anniversary, we decided to come to Temaki Den and it did not disappoint (the hype makes 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. read more
Reservations were booked but I walked in for happy hour right when they opened and they got me in. I've been here twice before and I've loved it. This time I got a nigiri flight, which I loved. I'd say some of the best I've had in Denver. I also got the salmon oshizushi, which I really liked as well. It was warm and the jalepeno added a perfect spice. They spaced each course out perfectly so not everything came at once. read more

Wonderful food and service. We did omakase and each dish was fresh and flavorful. Blown away by the care and attention to source the fish and with presentation. It's not a typical restaurant environment, kind of situated in an open area surrounded by small businesses flanking the space around it. read more
Excellent, excellent sushi. Highly recommend reservations-regardless of time of day. Temaki Den is located in the middle of The Source in RiNo. Very well set up in the center with other businesses surrounding it. Temaki Den is known for their temaki (hand rolls) so make sure to order a couple/few of those. We went during their lunch hours on a Saturday. The lunch menu had so many options to choose from. (Lunch menu is only offered on Fridays- Sundays 11:30-2:30.) Start with the spicy garlic edamame-the flavor is perfection. For temaki, you cannot go wrong with the blue crab or the spicy tuna. I also ordered unagi which was perfectly cooked. Drinks were phenomenal as well. The seasonal special drink of the day was excellent as was the Bloody Mariko! Temaki Den has excellent service with a very knowledgeable staff to help you order the best food for your personal tastes. Looking forward to going back! read more
Amazing service. This place is pretty solid for the price and quality of fish. I like that omakase you just pay for whatever the fish they decide to give you. Staff is friendly and took notes of what we liked before each of the omakase piece was served. My two favorites were the salmon Belly and the black snapper. Those felt more than just rice on fish but had some chefs twist to eat. Uni was also super buttery and delicious. The rest of the omakase were okay. Didn't feel anything too special. Shoyu butter scallop is absolutely delicious. Highly recommend it. Also keep the leftover butter shoyu as your dipping sauce! I was a little disappointed by the yellowtail. It was the one that tasted the fishiest. Definitely a place to come for a date or to just catch up and try with friends! read more

Highly recommended the omakase menu and the matcha desserts. The sushi is very fresh and quality. Service is fast and attentive. Walk-in maybe possible but it is a great experience to reserve to sit by the sushi counter. As far as ambience, it is an open area with many restaurants. It's a little casual but I love it. read more
Had a fantastic birthday dinner at Temaki Den. Made a reservation, and our seating at the sushi bar was ready on time. Both the hostess and server made note of my allergies. Temaki is located in the center of one of the markets at the Source Hotel so that it can be busy, but I was still able to have a conversation with my friend. Our server was terrific and helpful since this was our first time. She helped us make selections that were appropriate based on our preferences and would be enough to keep us satisfied. The sushi chefs started us out with a small bite of tofu topped with a cucumber roe and sesame crisps. Very fresh and bright. The spicy garlic edamame was precisely what it claimed to be. It was spicier at the top layer, but the yummy garlic was waiting underneath. The hamachi sashimi was delicious with just a hint of spice from the thinly sliced serrano peppers. For nigiri, I had the house favorite, salmon oshizushi, and black snapper. Both were good. I preferred the black snapper since it was a leaner cut and not as rich with the ponzu sauce and lime zest. The temaki hand rolls were fantastic. The spicy scallop wasn't too spicy, and the spicy tuna was hands down my favorite. Unlike most spicy tuna rolls, Temaki doesn't drown its tuna in mayonnaise or paste to make it spicy. The tuna was mixed with fresh herbs and chili, giving it a fresh, clean bite. A complimentary choice of dessert was a treat. I chose the crème brûlée that came with fresh fruit. read more

My husband and I decided to try this place another try and so worth it! We went on a Saturday evening. Great vibe; industrial atmosphere; super friendly and attentive staff. We felt really taken care of by the staff--they constantly served us water, checked in on us and if we had questions about the menu--and walked us through the specials. Yummy, super fresh food--loved it for our date night! read more

My dinner at Temaki Den was not only a scrumptious meal but also a robust experience. We did the omakase experience and it absolutely did not disappoint! We were treated with the highest quality fish with flavor bursting in every bite! Our favorites were the wagyu beef and scallops. The staff was friendly, informative and really provided a personal and customized experience for us. We loved our time at Temaki Den and will definitely be returning! read more

My favorite sushi spot in Denver! Visiting from out of town and this is always one of our go-to places. We always get the omakase, and it never disappoints. Every single piece is a hit. The fish is incredibly fresh, and you can tell the chefs really take their time to curate a thoughtful menu. The staff are knowledgeable, friendly, and make the experience even better. Very casual spot with amazing quality sushi. read more
Visiting a friend in town and he brought me here. Truly a good recommendation. We ordered a lot: Appetizer - Seaweed salad Temaki - eggplant, cucumber, spicy tuna, negitoro Nigiri - salmon belly, scallop, unagi, wagyu Sashimi: Salmon and hamachi Dessert: yuzu black pepper sorbet, crème brûlée I was enjoying all the sushi too much to take pictures, as everything we got was so good. Personal faves: eggplant and spicy tuna temaki, unagi and salmon belly nigiri, salmon sashimi, and both the desserts. Although honestly everything was memorable and delicious. The nori is so crispy and complements all the other flavors so well. For each temaki, the sauces they add go together so well with the main component of the roll. For the desserts: I love the spicy kick added by the black pepper, which goes surprisingly well with the yuzu and the fresh strawberries on top of the crème brûlée is *close your eyes to savor the taste* level of good pairings. The waiter was really attentive, and wouldn't bring out the temaki unless it was guaranteed we could eat it immediately -- for example, if someone stepped away for a phone call he would wait until they came back to serve for them. He provided good recommendations and was attentive throughout. He honestly was the cherry on top of a 10/10 experience. The restaurant is located inside an old warehouse and has some overhead, smaller lighting that keeps the inside dim but well lit enough to see and appreciate what you're eating. There's some overhead decoration that fits the "Japanese restaurant" vibe. The decoration paired with the unique furniture really adds to the overall experience. read more

The sushi bar at Temaki Den is a great date night experience. There is a wide variety of super fresh sushi including temaki (hand rolls), nigiri, and aburi nigiri. The variety of seasonal fish is impressive and changes each day. The drinks were great as well. The sex panther had tequila and matcha for a tart cocktail while the "mom, the meatloaf" was a very smooth old fashioned with Japanese whiskey. Check out Temaki Den next time you're looking for a fun and modern sushi date! read more

My husband and I came for Valentine's Day for our first ever visit and it did not disappoint. Honestly one of the best dining experiences I have ever had in my life. We did omakase and our server was phenomenal. I have not been able to stop telling everyone about this amazing meal. I didn't even remember tot take photos of it all because I was so immersed in the dining experience, but I am drooling over the photos I did remember to take. read more

Went for HH on a Tuesday, showed up right at 4:30 with no reservation and was seated in 10 ish minutes. I have walked by this place several times and was so excited to try! This place did not disappoint ! Everything was fresh and super tasty. The warm towels were a nice touch--- our waiter was informative but not over bearing. Everything she recommended was delicious. Like other places in RINO industrial on the inside where people were casual and some were dressed up. Will be back again! 10/10 read more

I am looking to take my family there. What is the price range for Omekase?
It depends because it's more "al la cart". For the two of us, it was about $110 each and we left stuffed and happy!
How does the Tock reservation system work? Do I get the money back or added to my bill upon arrival, or am I giving them $20 for the opportunity to eat there?
The $20pp deposit is refunded to your card upon arrival, and will only be kept for no-show guests. In most cases, the deposit will be refunded as long as the reservation is canceled or communicated at a reasonable time.
Is there a dress code?
There is no dress code! On weekends people tend towards the dressier side however.
Do we have to book a table or can we just walk in?
We called ahead with 4 and they told us to walk in. Not sure when/if they'll require a reservation.
