Always a must whenever I'm in Denver, especially if I can get squeezed in during happy hour! I was lucky enough to get seated at the cocktail bar for 1 about 15 minutes before happy hour closed. As always, my go-to is the bincho. This is a tuna nigiri with some truffle and it truly is perfection. In total, I order 3 orders of the bincho (), the waygu meatball, and the kurodai crudo, along with the seasonal spritz. Everything was DELICIOUS. I loved their crudo--it was such a good balance of salty and sweet and sour. The drink was delicious. I was also lucky enough to get a pour (gartis!) of their white wine (no idea what it was called). Overall, I love this place and will ALWAYS return when I'm in town. Service: 5/5 Food: 5/5 Atmosphere: 5/5 Price: 5/5 read more

A visit to Uchi is truly a treat; the atmosphere, impeccable service and exquisite food make it a special experience. As soon as my husband and I entered the restaurant, I immediately sensed we were in for something unique. The staff is extremely professional, and as we were walked to our table, the elegant space charmed me, with its L-shaped dining room and bar, striking flowery red wallpaper, contemporary concrete accents, and plenty of mixed woods. Every dish we sampled was outstanding, artfully plated and inventive. We noticed that the nigiri was smaller than what we are used to, but personally I like it this way as it makes it easier to eat. We tried a few (small) plates, all of them delicious, and we were especially impressed with the oak-grilled escolar or Walu Walu, the fish cooked perfectly with a caramelized crust. What an amazing experience! read more

The omakase menu is amazing. Specifically, the pork-wrapped scallops were to die for (not pictured--they were eaten too fast haha). Jamison was our waiter and was incredibly attentive and collegial. Like the type of waiter you wouldn't mind hanging out with after work. Could not recommend this place more. 10/10. Bring your mom. read more

Great service and great food! It was my partners birthday and they gave us a free dish to celebrate. Server was incredible kind and helpful with the menu.

So overjoyed for the return of the garden series dinners this summer! Yesterday's collab dinner with Safta was an interestingly delicious amalgamation of modern Japanese and Mediterranean flavors. It started out with a prolonged appetizer journey of hummus, nigiri bites, israeli salad, and tuna crudo... then culminated in large format shareable salmon and lamb saddle with tasty accouterments. Highlights for me were the compressed tomato nigiri, creatively disguised as fish; altius farms mushrooms grown in the garden we were dining in with hummus & pita, a rarer rose perch nigiri topped with allepo and labneh (the epitome of fancy fusion flavors); and the juicy, fatty lamb saddle. The pistachio miso ice cream component of the dessert was divine. These unique shared omakase-style dinners al fresco are not to be missed! Thoughtful service and relaxing garden setting. The weather turned out great and the lighting at golden hour and sunset was delightful! The Uchi garden series dinners are a highlight of Denver dining! read more

This place is on the pricier side but I think it's worth it. It's really good to come for happy hour or if you want to splurge a little for a fancy sushi night.

Absolutely phenomenal! We are so glad that we came back and gave this place a second shot. We had amazing service; we couldn't decide on which wine we wanted and our server had great recommendations and brought a few tastings to help us decide. The fish was very fresh and everything tasted so good that we got seconds of multiple items. Highly recommend the S-omakase (servers choice). We told our server what we liked and she KILLED IT! Going right at the end of happy hour was the move, the crowd level was perfect! This will not be the last time here, that's for sure read more

Had a date night with my boyfriend and it definitely did not disappoint! Make sure you RSVP ahead of time for the timeframe you want! The first opening was at 8:30pm, so we took it. It was really busy and I opt to sit at the sushi bar, which was pretty entertaining. While we waited for our food, I was mesmerized with all the fresh fish laying in front of me. And of course, watching the sushi chef slice each pieces of fish plating them elegantly on a bed of ice. They gave us a citrus plum palette cleanser before our meal and it was yum. I had the oysters with pomegranate foam, wouldn't say it's my favorite but I love oysters. We ordered some nigiri pieces - salmon belly, hamachi, and big eye tuna - ALLLLLL very fresh and wanting more! I also ordered the Kinoko Nabe - absolutely my fav! Savory, flavorful, hot, crispy, and filling. My boyfriend ordered the pork belly and he loved it, but 6 small pieces was not enough for him lol. More nigiri please! Would love to come back for happy hour! Street parking mainly, but they have valet parking for $5. Can't beat that!!! read more

I've been to uchi twice now. The first time I did omakase and the second time I thought I should give it another try since people always rave about this place. I am a huge foodie and have tried many omakase and sushi places to find the best one and I would recommend elsewhere. I did not enjoy the food both of my times here, the food was not memorable. I got a wide variety of dishes which included the Hama chili, sushi rice, pork belly, and the sake, bichino, waygu tartare,and the smoked sake nigiri. The waiter also recommended the kosho taro maki roll. Everything was okay, nothing amazing that made me go WOW. The best thing I probably had there was the kosho taro maki roll, but even then you can find better at other restaurants. For the omakase, I barely remembered the experience because the tasting to me was subpar to below that. If you are looking for a good omakase place I would recommend sushi den. Overall, I would not be trying this place again for a third time. read more

I just walked back into my hotel room still glowing from the incredible service and experience we had this evening at Uchi. What began as a heartfelt recommendation from Alex, our server at brunch at Corinne, turned into something far beyond what we expected--an experience that truly stood out during our time in Denver. For a bit of context, we traveled in from Helena to represent our city at a travel convention. After a weekend of greeting hundreds of people with smiles and encouraging them to visit our hometown, finding unexpected warmth and joy in the city we're visiting was, above all else, deeply welcomed. And we found that immediately at Uchi. We arrived about thirty minutes early for our reservation, and it didn't matter. The hosts greeted us with genuine kindness and invited us to relax outside with drinks while we waited. As someone who has recently stepped away from alcohol, I was especially impressed by the thoughtfulness of their mocktail menu--creative, intentional, and absolutely not an afterthought. When it was time to head inside, we were told, "Chef Will and your server Nina will take great care of you." It's the kind of line you hear often--but we were not prepared for what that would actually mean. Chef Will introduced himself with a warmth that felt instantly familiar--like being welcomed by an old friend. Genuine, grounded, and reassuring. Nina followed with a presence just as radiant--calm, attentive, and completely at ease despite the energy of a busy dining room. As we opened the menu, we found ourselves not just reading dishes, but experiencing them. It felt less like ordering food and more like studying works of art--each item thoughtfully composed, with ingredients paired in ways that felt both unexpected and beautifully unfussy. Sitting at the bar, we watched the kitchen in motion. Precision cuts of scallops, careful placement of garnishes, color and texture layered with intention. Each plate felt like a composition. More than once, we found ourselves saying, "We'll have one of those, too." It became clear very quickly that this wasn't just a skilled team--it was a passionate one. There was a visible respect and care among the chefs, the servers, the entire staff. What we were witnessing wasn't just a well-run operation, but something that felt like a true team--synchronized, supportive, and proud of what they were creating together. Dish after dish arrived, and with each one, the level of care only deepened. We walked in as two guests looking for a great meal and left in genuine awe of how fully we had been taken care of. This experience went far beyond exceptional food. It was about people--about care, connection, and the quiet, powerful ways hospitality can bring strangers together. The food was the vehicle, yes--but the true takeaway was the feeling of being welcomed, seen, and delighted. What I've shared here is only a fraction of what we experienced. I already look forward to returning to Denver just to sit at Uchi again--this time with loved ones, to share in something truly special. And thank goodness for the direct flight between Helena and Denver. Our gratitude goes far beyond a simple "thank you." As someone who has worked in service, I know it takes an entire team to create something like this. To those we saw--and those working behind the scenes who helped shape such a memorable evening--please know how deeply it was felt and appreciated. We'll absolutely be back. read more

I'm disheartened to write this review because Uchi has been our go-to for celebrations over the last four years. In fact, upon searching our Google-Check-In's my husband and I have been to Uchi 14 times in the last four years (of which we used Google Maps). Today, we planned to celebrate our first wedding anniversary and my completion of a Doctoral program. I made a reservation four weeks ahead at our favorite spot--the sushi counter. Unfortunately, upon arrival, I was overlooked by the sushi chefs while waiting for my husband. We normally enjoy a 15+ course omakase directly with the chefs, but this time, they did not interact with us or take our order, even avoiding eye contact, while other patrons received attentive service. It was only after my husband inquired that we were informed that our seats did not include a personal sushi chef due to being understaffed. The service lacked the personal touch we valued, and it wasn't until I mentioned our anniversary that the staff realized the oversight. Management tried to rectify the situation by comping our meal and offering a gift card, but the experience fell short of the high standards we've come to expect from Uchi. Here are a few suggestions for Uchi management: 1. Inform guests immediately if their seating does not include an interactive experience. 2. Remove extra seats at the counter to avoid similar situations. 3. Ensure all chefs at least acknowledge guests to avoid any awkwardness. Regrettably, we won't be returning and are now seeking a new sushi spot in Denver to celebrate our special occasions. Note: Pictures are from the first two courses that we had at which point, I decided to stop taking pictures because I felt awkward sitting at the counter. read more

Uchi is the Soup Natzi of sushi. You look at the menu and wonder where all the classic or basic rolls are. That is to say if you really really really want a spicy tuna roll with spicy mayo, you can not get it here. However, if you're up for an adventure in creativity and culinarily excellence, Uchi is your next must try. The quality of sushi is superior. The sauces and flavors will leave you delighted. This bar has an amazing cocktail menu as well as an extensive Japanese whiskey and sake selection. Make a reservation, plan on spending $75 per person, and enjoy an epic culinary adventure. read more

It pains me to do this.... After having been to Uchi half a dozen times in the past year with good experiences, last night was a disaster. We sat at the counter which we have done in the past and just ordered "Feed Me". Tell them what we like and let them run with it. We were essentially ignored. The couple next to us had the same order and dishes were flowing out. We were waiting 20 minutes between each bite. The sushi chef could not have given less of a crap. One the very rare occasion he would ask how we were doing, I said "I'm hungry". Not one single dish stood out as being good. My wife requested that I bring a roll home for her. I had to ask 3x for my request to be acknowledged. Finally, this douche yanked his head out of colon and said "I got you". I asked for a tuna based roll that was creative, high end, with a lot going on. Take a look at the picture of what I was handed to bring home. I could get this at Sam's club. $600 later for two people. I won't be back. This sushi chef is a serious a-hole and should be fired immediately. Uchi - if you want well heeled folks who are willing to spend a lot of money, provide a modicum of service. read more

Came in on a recommendation from a friend who use to live in Denver. There were 3 of us on a Wednesday night and it was very busy. It's in a part of town that I would compare to parts of Williamsburg and the Bushwick sections of Brooklyn NY. A lot of newer homes, condos mixed in with some old properties. Uchi was founded by James Beard Award winning Chef Tyson Cole. It is a very trendy with a roof top open glass that you can few giant plant. They have multiple locations around the country. They currently have 5 locations including Denver, Miami, Austin, Dallas and Houston. They are planning 3 more in New York City which I'm waiting for, Los Angeles and Scottsdale. Great vibe, atmosphere, decor, food choices, great staff who are extremely courteous and knowledgeable. Cool and clean bathrooms. You can tell they take pride in what they do. Our server Liszt has been there for 4 years and is dedicated to her job, customers and the food industry. Even the runners knew what every piece was, the best way to enjoy it and what each topping was. One of us opted for the somakase mkt curated tasting menu. You are trusting your server based on your likes and dislikes to design a menu for you. You set the price with a minimum of $80 and the sky is the limit. Right off the bat Lizzy did a great job with selection and portions. It turned out to be about 10 courses. My friend is lactose intolerant, cannot have fish eggs just to name a few of the challenges he gave Lizzy. It included Itoyoti Nigiri, Shuka Aji Nigiri, Yagara Nigiri, Kamasu Nigiri, 2pc Oysters, Santa Barbara Uni, Tanin Bune, Inada Nigiri, Seared Maguro Nigiri, Sake Toro Aburi Bluefin Otoro Sashimi 1/2 Hama chili, and Pork Belly. We also had the spicy Crunchy Tuna roll, Shag roll, Kinobe Nabe, soft shell Maki roll, and Hirami Uzuzukuri. Desert was the Shortcakes which were Vegan and allergy free. We also had one of the top Sake's you can order which was Dassai 23. Overall it was a great experience, I would highly recommend them and I am looking forward for the New York City location to open hopefully in 2024. read more

First, I want to say I am not a seafood eater so this review is based on what *I* ate and the feedback from the rest of the table who *did* eat all of the other dishes. The restaurant is loud but for being rated the top sushi place in Denver, I can't fault them for that. The service was lovely, if at times a little slow. But again, there wasn't an empty table and we had A LOT of people order A LOT of food. The hot rock was... so so good, and I also got the uchi salad which was absolutely delicious. I also ate some tempura veggies and dessert obviously. The people who ordered the omakase tasting I think had the best time. Food came out consistently and they were full. I think the ones who didn't do the omakase tasting didn't get food consistently and were maybe confused by portions. But honestly overall, it was still an excellent experience and my family is hoping to come soon. read more

This is my favorite sushi restaurant in Denver... Uchi offers non‑traditional Japanese cuisine with signature tastings, sushi, and seasonal omakase. Upon arrival, we were seated in the main dining room and enveloped in Uchi's bustling Japanese ambiance. Our server Emily was attentive & knowledgeable about the menu (she had great recommendations). Uchi has fresh fish, flown in daily & they source their seafood from around the globe - they even have a hydroponic greenhouse situated above the restaurant for their herb & vegetable needs. We saw Uchi's commitment to quality in every dish we had. Generally, at sushi restaurants, there is a plethora of sauces provided - soy sauce, spicy mayo, sriracha, you name it - there is no sauce at Uchi. The restaurant prides themselves on the freshness of the fish and garnishes where no sauce is needed. For cocktails we had the Fiery Yu made with tequila, yuzu honey, thai chili, & lemon. Our meal started with Madai, Japanese Sea Bream and Sake, Atlantic Salmon nigiri. The nigiri is always the start of the show when dining at Uchi in my opinion. The garnishes & ingredients used in the nigiri, always enhance the flavor profiles of the fish beautifully. The Uchi Salad was made with daikon, cashew pesto, wild rice panko, and baby greens. Uchi means house in Japanese, this was their version of a house salad. We were directed to eat the salad bundles with our hands. The salad was bright and fresh with a lovely snap that was tempered by the cool, creamy dressing. The Hot Rock was served with wagyu beef & ponzu. We cooked the gorgeous wagyu to our desired temperature on the hot rock right at the table. The Machi Cure was made with smoked yellowtail Hamachi, yuca crips and marcona almonds (we were instructed to eat this dish like nachos). We grabbed a yuca crisp with a piece of Hamachi & almonds on top - salty & sweet. There were great contrasting textures of the crisp yuca chip against the smooth, cool Hamachi. This was everything a complex sushi dish should be. The Kinoko Nabe was made with mushroom, koshihkari rice, mushroom tentsuyu, and egg yolk. Per the wait staff, we let our rice cook for about 30 seconds in the stone pot to make it nice and crispy. This dish was piping hot, savory, & comforting. The Namahotate, dayboat scallops nigiri were generous in size, so fresh, & absolutely delicious. We had two of the daily specials including the Maguro Crudo was made with big eye tuna, spicy pineapple, mango, & coconut furikake. Presentation was evident in every dish we had, and dessert was no exception. The seasonal chocolate was our favorite. read more

Uchi blew our minds with the food. My husband and I sat at the sushi counter and ended up going with a version of the somakase. The staff was friendly and attentive and the space is beautiful. My husband and I often do omakase at nicer sushi restaurants, but inevitably don't love a lot of the hot dishes, so telling our chef this, he gave us mostly sushi/sashimi. We loved 99% of it! There was an avocado nigiri that just paled in comparison to its fishy versions, but otherwise, the fish was amazing. The rice had just the right amount of flavor. The portions were all perfect. The presentations were beautiful. I can't remember what fish we had and looking at the menu didn't jog my memory. My husband loved it so much, we're going back for his birthday. Our new favorite sushi restaurant! read more

It's been a while since I've had such a disappointing meal. I'm not sure what happened, but this place has changed for the worse compared to our last pre-pandemic visit. The price point is only slightly more in 2023 compared to 2019, but the portions have somehow shrank a lot. For example, the nigiri are the smallest pieces of nigiri I've seen at a sushi restaurant...ever. The oysters were mostly garnishes and very little oyster. Even the tofu, which is made of inexpensive ingredients, were tiny little morsels. Since you're clearly not paying for quality food at these obscene prices, you'd think you were paying for good service. Maybe it was a really off night, but the service was...not good. It was slow and slightly absentee. One of the other servers who brought out our food mistakenly brought us the wrong dish not once, but twice. Even when he brought us the right dish, he actually paused and said he wasn't really sure what our dish was. The only thing that wasn't a total disappointment was the Fried Milk dessert, which was a normal portion size and delicious. From our previous visit, I also recall the Jasmine Cream being very unique and memorable as well. After our first visit, I left thinking we had to come back at some point because we really enjoyed our meal. After our most recent visit, I'm left baffled that it's so hard to get a reservation at a restaurant that is so mediocre compared to other Denver restaurants. read more

We booked a reservation for a party of five for a birthday celebration in October 2024. Wow, what an experience. The restaurant is very cleanly designed and well kept. The service is top notch, truly five star attention. Water glasses were never empty and they even brushed the crumbs off the tablecloth in between courses. The food is amazing. I like sushi, but this was no western style sushi rolls. There's no cream cheese or fried rolls available. It's true sushi, and it's delicious. I cannot praise this establishment enough, they are definitely worth a visit. The desserts (pictured) were out of this world. read more

The price was amazing and food was fantastic. David was our chef and prepared the most amazing dishes for us. He checked in with us frequently about our feedback on each dish. Our favorite was the Kurodai, which I've never had. It was amazing!!! Actually everything was delicious. I didn't care for the popsicle dessert, but that was just personal preference.

The place is very aesthetically pleasing, they have ample seating inside and out. We made a reservation for one of the indoor tables and we got taken care of by awesome Tracy. She made many recommendations and she was on point. The food was delicious and the simplest of rolls were the most delicious. The miso soup was also delicious.

Amazing food and great service. The dishes are so well prepared and balanced. Highly recommend!

Food: We absolutely love this place. It's become our go to for anything sushi or savory. The fish is truly the highest quality you can get in a landlocked state. The presentation is always stunning too. We always go to happy hour to get the tiny discount they offer ;) but at least it's something. Happy hour mostly offers us to get a variety of things vs having to commit. Some favorites of happy hour: * Walu walu * Sake nigiri * Foie Grae nigiri * Nasu (Eggplant) * Foie waffle * Wagyu tartare * Pork belly Some favorite that aren't on happy hour but we have to get every time: * Hama chili * Bluefin otoro nigiri * Scallion pancake * Unagi * Hirame usuzukuri * Aka yagara Service: Always top notch. We really enjoy sitting at the sushi bar. Quickest service, knowledgable, and fun. This place has the highest caliber of service anywhere you sit though. Ambience: Perfect lighting. Fun music. Beautiful greenhouse on the second floor. My biggest critique is the woman's bathroom -- the second (smaller) stall is PITCH DARK. Please please spend the $100 to get another light to go above that toilet. read more

When in Denver, Happy Hour, and a recommendation! We were not disappointed. Our friend made the reservation and booked it during their happy hour. When we arrived we were greeted and taken to our table. Our server came over and explained to us the menu and how it worked as it was our first time. The menu does change by day or week as it depends on what they have in the kitchen for that period or season. So I suggest keep that in mind. I think I have all the names except for one of the plates we had. 1) Crispy Rice w/Short rib 2) Sakana 3) ______ ‍ (shrimp and like a green sauce) 4) Soft Shell Crab Roll 5) Walu Walu 6) Sake Crudo 7) Kurodai Crudo 8) Dumplings 9) Croquettes 10) Hot Rock (Wagyu) Restrooms were clean. They have valet parking, it's what we did. I don't know the area so can't tell you if you would find street parking. Sorry! read more

Came here for happy hour on Monday and made a reservation just in case. Got seated and acknowledged right away which was great! Overall I just wasn't impressed with any of the dishes we tried. Everything was mediocre and some dishes still tasted fishy and not flavorful. My least favorite dish was the crispy rice. I didn't realize it didn't come with protein so it just looked like a burnt burger patty. The fish quality wasn't as high as other places ive tried and expected based off friend recommendations. The best thing we got was probably the kosho toro maki roll recommended by our waiter. Even then it wasn't good enough for me to think about a next visit. read more

Came here for a dinner. We made reservation in advance. They have valet parking that you have to pay for, which is weird considering that you are dining in with them. Ambiance is pretty cool, modern and chic. They have indoor and outdoor dining options. Service was pretty mediocre to they the least. When we asked a question about wine, she said "it's dry". We had to specifically ask how menu works, usually in the restaurants like that you have a run down of the menu. Food is obviously expensive and definitely not worth the hype. If you have been in the nice restaurants in the Bay Area or NYC, you definitely will not be impressed. Menu is rather large and to be honest confusing. They recommend 6-8 dishes per table for 2 people. Everything is a small plate. We started with miso soup that was good (but nothing special, definitely had better miso in the past), then we had asparagus salad, which was good, edamame had smokey flavor which I didn't like, we had 2 rolls that again had some smoke flavor in the sauce. We had chicken that was just a regular chicken, nothing special, amberjack crudo was pretty good. We didn't enjoy flavor profiles very much. I like experimenting but none of the dishes were amazing to be honest. We ended a meal with sorbet and it was very mediocre as well. Honestly, very overhyped and overpriced place like everything in Denver. If you lived in NYC or LA area, you will be underwhelmed at this restaurant. read more
