The entire experience was phenomenal. We had to change our reservation time, which was easily accommodated on a Thursday evening. Our server was Tom. He was extremely accommodating, friendly, and knowledgeable. We had three in our party, and we were friends who do not get to see each other often. One was vegetarian, one was pescetarian, and the other was gluten-free. Tom was easily able to point out excellent options for each. We arrived in time for Happy Hour, and he told us not to worry about the Happy Hour time, he would be able to apply Happy Hour prices throughout the night. Tom was flexible, so if we all wanted to try an item that typically comes with smaller (happy hour) portion sizes, he was able to add additional portions for the table. From the drinks to the food, everything was extremely flavorful and fresh. We ordered multiple items over three hours and spent an additional hour just talking at the table. Tom let us know that it was not super busy and said we were welcome to stay. We never felt pressured to leave. Everyone who came to our table was friendly and knowledgeable. When they dropped off food, they noted whether it was gluten-free and vegetarian, being mindful of dietary preferences and intolerances. I would happily and joyfully return to this restaurant. The ambience was gorgeous, the service was excellent, and the food was delicious! Parking was probably the only annoyance, but they do offer valet parking for $15. read more

To start off, the ambiance of the restaurant was beautiful; dimly lit and perfect for any occasion. The food; fresh, imaginative, and overall delicious !! Additionally, the service was excellent and well attentive - they cater very nicely to allergies and preferences. Pam, our waitress, was very observant and made sure that our experience was over-the-top. Rudy, Benjamin, Colby (Cory), and Julio - our sushi chefs, were very enthusiastic and entertaining. Overall, my sister and I had a 10/10 experience and will definitely be coming back. read more

Where to begin... This is really about the experience curated by our server, although he was way more than that. More like a culinary guide! Jacob was fun, knowledgeable and treated us so well. We started with some mixed drinks, martinis! Well done. Gin for me and vodka for her. A little dirty and just right. Along came some edamame and the yellowtail which was smooth as butter. Loved the citrusy orange compliment. After that I had to have the fried dumplings which were so perfect and a great setup for the Brussels sprouts. These Brussels sprouts were exceptional! Mic drop amazing. We had the wagyu beef and the popcorn shrimp. Both were exceptional and I could have gorged on both. We tried not to be complete pigs haha. So good. We had at least two other dishes which were exceptional but I just got carried away with the food and conversation. Everything came at just the right time and we more or less told Jacob what our preferences were and he guided the meal. It was fun to be surprised and enjoy new things. This is one of the few places I trust my experience to the training and professionalism of the staff. A manager stopped by to check in which I thought was a nice touch. I'd love to bring other friends here as well. Great touches. Amazing food and spotless service. read more

We came to Uchiko for their happy hour omakase and left already wanting to come back and explore the rest of the menu! The omakase was such a nice introduction to the restaurant, you get a little bit of everything, and every item felt thoughtfully prepared and tasted so good. Our service was amazing. The cocktails were extremely good as well. The star of the omakase set was a desert! So good that I would get another one. Happy hour is definitely worth it, especially for the price and the quality you're getting. Such a great first experience at Uchiko, and now I'm very curious to try more of their menu! read more

First time at Uchiko! Big fan of uchi for a fancy dinner date so I had to try Uchiko! The space is very modern, elevated with lots of warm wood. Right when you walk into the dining area you can smell the wood fired grill which I love. We ordered the wood fired edamame, shrimp karage, ko lunch with the burger, and sushi omakase. With two drinks on the side. Our waitress recommended the wood fired edamame and so glad we got it because it was one of our favorite bites of the meal. We kept going back for more. Such great smoky, umami flavor. The shrimp karage was underwhelming for me but overall good if you like shrimp. Both the ko lunch and sushi omakase I felt came with a good amount of food. The sushi was fresh which I wasn't surprised about since uchi's sushi is typically very fresh tasting. The burger was thick and juicy. The staff even surprised us was a little piece of wood fired flounder sushi for each of us and it was my personal favorite bite of the meal. It just melted in your mouth. Staff was attentive and pleasant and would definitely come and and recommend checking out their lunch deals read more

Uchiko Denver - Temaki, nigiri, and sushi that came with sushi omakase - Japanese Near Me - Denver, Colorado

We went for happy hour on Friday at about 5. The place was packed. The decor and ambiance were great. Service was timely, fantastic and friendly! We ordered the omakase tasting for 2, pork dumplings and unagi. There were 9 courses and I have to say we only really liked about 3 of them. The first dish with the hamachi and orange was delicious vibrant and fresh. The hand roll just tasted of cucumber, not really any fish. The other Waygu fritters just tasted burnt. The tasting ended with steak frites which just felt out of left field random and it was SO rare. Like almost inedible rare. The dessert which was a black sesame cake with like a mousse and then covered in chocolate, a marshmallow and then barley ice cream on top of graham cracker crumble was by far the star of the night. It had all the right notes of chocolate, salty, sweet, crunchy, buttery and delicious! Overall food was mid. I left mad that I paid so much for such mid food. Service was good! read more

This is a beautiful restaurant in a neighborhood made for walking, shopping and dining. We found metered street parking a few blocks away, which is the cheapest option in this neighborhood. Usually I'd go right for the sushi at a place that offers it, but I found the rest of their menu pretty compelling. We started with their edamame, which puts other versions of this tasty snack to shame. The salt and seasonings they use are just right, and the char they get on the edamame shells really elevates this dish. I chose the black lentil salad with a salmon add on as my main. This is a great salad, although more of a green salad with black lentils. I like the hit of sweetness that the grapes and peaches in this salad provide. The salmon was perfectly cooked, and the dressing nice and light. I really like lentils, so wanted a bit more of those, but it's still a delicious salad. My husband got one of the signature rolls and said it was very good, so we'll be back to try more of the menu. Service here is friendly and polished, and our server was helpful with the menu. read more

Uchiko Austin is one of my favorite restaurants. So, when my boyfriend and I learned there was a Denver location, we quickly made a plans to stop by during our vacation. We made reservations for the sushi bar and we did the Somakase, the curated tasting menu. When you walk in, you know you're in a fancy restaurant. The lighting is low, the color scheme is dark, but there's a warmth to it. Everyone from the valet parking crew to the wait staff made us feel welcome. Even the manager stopped by to say hello at the end of our meal. Chef Koy was our sushi chef. She was amazing. She considered our individual preferences, she was knowledgable, and took the time to talk to us about every dish. My favorite bite was the caviar (see photos). Overall, 10/10 experience. The food was great, the service was just as good. I hope to return in the near future. read more

After years of having Uchi in Denver, when I heard Uchiko was opening and that it would be more of a tapas style offering, I was stoked to check it out! Let me tell you, they did not disappoint. Their happy hour is a phenomenal value. We had the happy hour omakase which is $120 for 2 people. $120 for 1 person would be a good deal so yeah, definitely don't skip over this option. It came with 9-10 dishes with a mix of appetizers, hand rolls, nigiri, rice plates, and wagyu. For $60/person? I can't stop emphasizing how good of a deal that is. My favorite was the nigiri and wagyu. I thought some of the dishes were a bit salty but I like my food on the blander side. Just check out my pictures to see how great everything looks! Another great thing about Uchiko is the atmosphere and phenomenal service. It really has a sexy, smooth, dark atmosphere sure to impress any date and business individual you may bring there. Ashley was our server and she was a 10/10 for her professionalism and personality. She made sure to make our experience there extra special. read more

Came here for lunch/brunch and let me just say, the lunch special here is excellent. Extremely reasonably priced food and even better priced cocktail (6 dollars drinks in Cherry Creek at a nice sushi restaurant? Can't be beat). Every drink was extremely tasty and well-crafted. I ordered the Cha Soba Tempura, which is chilled dipping soba with tempura, and the dish was wonderful. It was very light and definitely refreshing, perfect for a hot summer day. My wife ordered the Chirashi Bowl, which expectedly has extremely fresh fish. That said, the dishes were definitely on the lighter side for sure. Will definitely be returning here in the future for lunch/brunch. I think this is definitely one of the best lunch in the area and as a whole, I think I prefer Uchiko over Uchi. read more

Uchiko Denver - Soba - Japanese Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Outstanding sushi. We've been to Uichi in RiNo several times and enjoyed the tasting menu there but its Cherry Creek location Uchiko was something else! A great birthday evening for our son. Hard to separate the equally fabulous dishes (we chose for ourselves) but the recommended smoked egg-plant was stunning. Indeed Allan, our waiter, was top-notch with his succinct and considered guidance through the tremendous menu. Allan's desert recommendation was fabulous. Only comment is that it's a tad colder than our preference inside. Otherwise well done and we will be back soon. read more

I have fone to this location twice and loved it. The first time, I went for dinner and ordered off their regular dinner menu. The seevice was great, albeit a little impersonal BUT we were there during the busy dinner hours. ALL the food was exquisite. The tastes are all unique complete with textural satisfaction. It IS expensive, but that is to be expected. The location is beautiful. My friend told me that it was an old art gallery. Well designed and intentional with their space down to the detail of the menu cubby under the table. I highly recommend this spot. They also offer a happy hour omakase for $120 for two ($60 per person) from 4-6 pm. All of their fish dishes are spectacular. I remember not liking the miso glazed meatball but everything else was so good at this second visit, I forgot to take pictures. read more

I was in Denver this past weekend for a conference and needed a great place to eat prior to flying home. Uchiko came up under a chat search for "great places to eat with a 2 hour experience something like Japanese". Well we got japanese and it was sensational. The restaurant has a great location near downtown, a very busy and fun neighborhood. The decoration and design interior is very wood and "japanese" themed but definitely American (not that that is bad). When we arrived we were greated and welcomed in and quickly seated at the bar while we waited for our table. We ordered the Yuzu mocktail which was amazing. It had a little pineapple and Yuzu and sweatened, it went well with our dinner. We ordered the Omakaze chef special which was a steal of a price, $120 for 2 people. 10 courses from Sashimi to Sushi to grilled beef with tallow fries. Every plate was amazing, well presented and prepared. They also accomodated my Assistant Coaches Dairy intolerance by making slight changes to the menu but still in keeping with the theme and flavors. The Crunch Chili tuna and dumplings were A++. Desert was a Coconut Sherbert, banana split...also amazing. Thank you Uchiko, great meal highly recommend. Sorry I didn't get photos...was too busy enjoying this one. read more

Then our sashimi of sake toro and hamachi arrived beautifully presented with a side is aged soy sauce. We followed up with hand rolls. The lychee martini was refreshing, simple and beautiful a perfect. The subarashi, a tequila based drink was also refreshing with a peppery rim that added to the experience. Once they brought the check, they followed up with a surprise vegan sorbet and banana that reminded me of a coconut banana fosters. read more

Uchiko Denver - Outside - Japanese Near Me - Denver, Colorado

First time here, its an intimate little sushi spot. I wanna know how long before the interior wood sucked up all the odor. If you have been to uchi, you know walking out you smell like steak. But otherwise very accommodating, the wait can be a bit but server is nice. The madai crudo was balanced, fresh and savory sauce to top of it off. Hard to mess up a crudo. Grilled swordfish was a bit too chewy, wasnt sure if they overcooked it. It was a bland taste, needs the side topping to create a flavor profile which was kind of disappointing since the main showcase should have been the fish. A variety nigiri, fish was great. But the rice is a too sweet for my taste. Needed something savory to compensate for it even a drop of soy would help. But they dont offer any soy sauce or wasabi. Not many restaurants do this unless they're confident in their cooking.... read more

Truly the best experience I've ever had at a restaurant. Not only was the food to die for, but our server Sarah C. was incredible. I couldn't believe how knowledgeable and relatable she was.

Stopped in for lunch over the weekend and wow, they have some really great deals that I didn't expect! Plenty of seating, especially at the bar.

From the start, she made us feel welcome and taken care of. She asked what we were celebrating and paid attention to everything during the night. It felt like she was trying to make the night special, not just do her job. All night, she kept bringing us little surprises about every 30 minutes. Each dish or treat came at the perfect time and made the night feel fun and memorable. It didn't feel like just dinner--it felt like a special celebration. She paid attention to everything. She knew what we needed before we asked and checked on us at the right times. You could tell she really cared about making our night good, and that's not something you see everywhere. The food was amazing, but Sarah made the whole experience even better. She was friendly, helpful, and really thoughtful. It felt like she wanted us to have a great night. We've been to a lot of restaurants, and good service makes a big difference. Sarah gave us some of the best service we've ever had. If you get Sarah at Uchiko Denver, you're going to have a great time. Thank you, Sarah, for making our night so special. We'll be talking about this for a long time and can't wait to come back. read more

Uchiko Denver - Japanese Near Me - Denver, Colorado

I've loved Uchi in Denver for years, so I was excited to try Uchiko in Cherry Creek, and it absolutely delivered, but in a different way. Where Uchi feels lively and bright, Uchiko leans darker, sexier, and a little more intimate. It's the kind of place you book for a date night when you want the energy to feel magnetic but still refined. One of the most unique elements? The wood-fire section. I've had a lot of sushi in my life, and I've never experienced that subtle, cozy aroma woven into the dining room. It added warmth without overpowering the delicacy of the fish, such a thoughtful touch. We couldn't decide what to order and weren't quite ready for a full omakase, so our server suggested a guided meal curated by her and the sushi chefs. It ended up being the perfect move. She took our hunger level, budget, and flavor preferences into account and paced everything beautifully. As someone who notices intentional hospitality, I really appreciated that. We also asked about a sake flight (they don't formally offer one) but she created a custom tasting experience throughout the meal. Each pour was selected with care, and she even walked us through the tradition of drinking from the overflowing glass-in-a-box style as a symbol of abundance. It made the whole evening feel layered and immersive, not just dinner. Standouts: * Charred smoked edamame (never had them this way...addictive) * Oyster with root vegetable granita (bright, textural, unexpected) * Yellowtail and bluefin nigiri (so fresh they melted instantly) * Rock shrimp karaage tobanjan (the most elevated "bang bang shrimp" I've ever had) * Roasted lobster with trumpet mushrooms, tom aha, and meboshi butter. I would genuinely bathe in that broth. We kept dipping everything into it. The hot rock prime beef with ponzu was beautiful quality (though we wished the stone had a bit more heat), and the smoked salmon maki, while good, just didn't compete with the rest of the lineup. Overall, the experience felt curated, buzzy, and intentional from start to finish. I'll absolutely be back, especially for the wagyu tartare and crispy tuna next time. read more

Came here opening week for their HH omakase and drinks ! The inside is absolutely gorgeous and it was packed. The HH omakase highlights a lot of their HH menu if you were to order à la carte. It was a good mix of items that we had and for 120$ I thought it was a fair price. I do wish it was more sushi forward but overall a good experience. About 3 courses were seafood. Pork Belly appetizer was a miss for us, felt too dry even with the sauce. HH lychee martinis are the perfect little sip! I had a reservation and it was still packed /- will be back again!! read more

Uchiko officially opened in Cherry Creek North 2/17/26 -- and yes, it's bringing the heat. From the team behind Uchi and James Beard Award winner Tyson Cole, Uchiko is the sister concept with the same sleek vibes + pristine seafood flown in daily -- but with a smoky, fire-driven twist with a whole "from the hearth" section. Open daily for lunch + dinner, with a strong happy hour 4-6pm (including a 9-course omakase for two for $120). What we loved: - The iconic hama chili from Uchi is on happy hour here, too. - Also present is another favorite from Uchi, the gyutoro (72-hour wagyu) - Seriously shocked by how good the braised celery root dish was (also on HH) - Daily special: smoked akami tataki (lean tuna loin in whiskey san ba zu) - Roasted lobster in creamy tom kha (favorite bite of the night) - From the hearth: grilled swordfish & bok choy in sriracha butter with lemon gremolata (also on HH) We thought the service was impeccable! read more

Really fun place to do a tasting. Our server did a great job creating a custom sake and wine pairing with the tasting menu. There was also a nice blend of fish and meat in the tasting menu but mostly fish as you'd expect. And everything was really good. We will be back to try the à la carte menu and some sushi rolls as soon as we can. read more

Great employees and moody vibes! Be prepared for expected longer wait times because you are getting each dish as they are ready. -crispy tuna rice: tobanjan aioli, chive. Standard crispy tuna rice. I wish the rice was fried longer so it was crispier and I wish there was more flavor in the tuna mixture. -karaage: fried marinated chicken, cucumber, seasonal pickles. Can't go wrong with karaage. Chicken was tender with a nice outside coating. The sauce was not overpowering and paired well with the refreshing cucumbers. -take nabe: seasonal mushroom, koshihikari rice, farm egg added gyutoro. Nice savory teriyaki like flavors. Helped get the group a little fuller with the rice and mushrooms- would definitely recommend splurging to add the gyutoro -braised celery root: gochujang maple glaze, black garlic puree, sesame beurre monte. Very balanced dish, the gochujang was mild and did not overpower the dish. The celery root was cooked perfectly and not mushy. inari: crispy tofu, avocado, red kosho. This is a veggie roll that surprised me the most! The sushi rice is cooked perfectly and the crispy tofu had an amazing like sweet and savory flavor. BLUEFIN OTORO NIGIRI: not as a fatty as I would like and had a piece of chewy connective tissue that I have never experienced before at a nice sushi restaurant HAMACHI NIGIRI, KANPACHI NIGIRI, and sake toro/scottish salmon belly: Standard cuts of fish and expected amount of rice- nothing out of the ordinary. GYUTORO NIGIRI: Everyone at the table got different sizes... great charred flavor paired with a sweet and savory sauce. I appreciate that they brought it out as soon as it got off the hearth. NAMAHOTATE NIGIRI: one of favorites of the night! This had the slightest touch of some sort of ponzu where you could taste some saltiness and a splash of citrus. The scallop was a good firm texture and mildly sweet. NASU NIGIRI: Everyone got different size pieces at the table... but eggplant was nicely tender with an amazing char and teriyaki like flavor. milk and cereal: fried milk, chocolate mousse, toasted milk ice cream. The fried milk was a fun texture and did not taste burnt even with its darker color. The mousse was rich and paired well with the toasted ice cream. cheesecake: calpico, mandarin, yuzu. The star of the night! The cheesecake was crust-less with a nice sweet and tart base. The calpico was made into Italian ice so it's carbonation and bright flavors surprisingly paired perfectly with the cheese cake and mandarin oranges. read more

We went to Uchiko's soft opening to preview their lunch service... twice. Overall, we were pleased with service and quality of food. Regular menu prices are on the higher end of the spectrum, but this is to be expected for the location, trendy atmosphere, and overall experience. We ordered ko lunch special chicken sando, lunch omakase, crispy tuna rice, several additional pieces of nigiri, dessert tart, and "milk and cereal" dessert. I will note that the table next to us got the ko lunch special burger, and I got a little jealous because it looked so good. Everything was beautifully presented. The seaweed salad was outstanding with crisp matchstick pieces of apple and perfect seasoning. The wedge salad was alright, but super fun and creative. Hamachi was in a bowl of light sauce with fun garnishes and orange supremes underneath. Tasty combination, but the orange slices were inconsistent in size and some pieces were too big. Temaki was very good. Seaweed stayed crisper than I expected. Tuna sashimi was nice. Nigiri was pretty good. The fish on the nigiri was of great quality prepared perfectly for good texture and flavor. The garnishes on the nigiri were creative, unique, and had amazing flavor. I love their creative use of herbs, like cilantro, on some of the nigiri. The kanpachi had garnishes that had southeast asian flavors, for example. A prime example of well-executed, and well-moderated, fusion. The sushi rice in the nigiri, however, was inconsistently cooked (some grains slightly tougher and some grains slightly softer), not seasoned enough, packed slightly too tight, no temperature contrast between fish and rice, and a little too much in quantity given the size of the fish. Don't get me wrong though, the sushi is really good. These are nitpicks against my opinion of absolute sushi perfection. I would give it a nigiri score of 84/100, which is average in top tier for me. Chicken sando was crispy and juicy, but not my favorite. I can't put my finger on why. Maybe it was chicken seasoning, maybe it was the sauce... just not to my personal taste. The fries were very tasty with some sort of seasoning that gave it a savory kick beyond just salt and pepper. One of my friends wanted ketchup with his fries, but they didn't have ketchup. I think it would be nice if they had any kind of sauce to serve with the fries. The tart was very good, but definitely felt out of season. Reminded me of fall. I would probably order it again though. The milk and cereal dessert was super creative with many components that integrated well. The best component was the captain crunch haha. Service was very professional and friendly. I don't expect everyone to be a sushi expert at a place like this, so I just brushed it off when the wait staff kept incorrectly naming the fishes presented to me. So if you get your nigiri and they start telling you what the fishes are, take it with a grain of salt. You come here for an experience, not to nerd out on fish and nigiri. If you want to nerd out on nigiri, like I sometimes like to do, then this is not a good place to do it. For nigiri purists and needs, there are other establishments well-suited for that need. Overall, 5 stars from me because they are doing what they set out to do very well. read more

had the pleasure of attending the Uchiko soft-opening this week. i brought a few friends along and we were utterly blown away. i already knew that i loved Uchi, but the new concept is absolutely stunning. from hosts, to servers, to everyone in between-we were met with impeccable, genuine service. every time a plate was delivered, we received a full rundown of the dish. anytime that we finished a plate, it was cleared in seconds. they kept our table clean, our drinks full, our share plates swapped anytime they got dirty, and checked on us frequently. we got cocktails / mocktails right away. they have a few NA spirit options and an extensive cocktail menu. now let's chat the important stuff: food. holy sh*t. it was so hard to stop eating. we wanted to try everything (and you'll see from my photos, we got close) every piece of fish melted in our mouths like butter. the plating was beautiful. the textures were so unique and complimentary. this menu is truly just so well curated. standouts? yellowtail sashimi, hama chili, spicy crunchy tuna makimono, crispy tuna rice, east coast oysters, smoked akami tataki, and the Japanese sweet potatoes. the rice was so perfectly cooked too. we were all RAVING about these dishes. - they were out of the hot rock but that's next on my list. a second surprise standout run? the dessert menu. we tried the s'mores, cheesecake, and the milk & cereal. all three were iconic. legendary. s'mores took the number one spot for all four of us. the hard shell on the cake, wow. we even took pints of s'mores ice cream home. the best sushi I've had in denver + one of the top meals I've ever had. i could go on forever but I'll save you the time by just saying GO!!!! opens Feb 17th :-) read more

From the moment you walk in, this restaurant is pure magic. The ambiance strikes that perfect balance between refined and inviting, but the true heart of the space, literally and figuratively, is the open hearth where the hot entrées are prepared. Watching the flames dance as each dish is carefully finished adds a theatrical, intimate touch that elevates the entire experience. Every plate is a masterpiece. The fish is impossibly fresh, the flavors are clean yet deeply layered, and the attention to detail is evident in every bite. The hearth-kissed entrées bring a subtle smokiness and warmth that transforms traditional Japanese flavors into something both comforting and sophisticated. Service is seamless, knowledgeable without being intrusive, warm without being overbearing. You feel cared for from start to finish. This isn't just dinner; it's an experience. A celebration of craftsmanship, flavor, and atmosphere. Absolutely spectacular, and worth every moment. read more

I came in for lunch at 11:30 and sat at the bar. It was pretty quiet when I arrived, but it definitely picked up in the time that I was there. Rachel was my main server and she was friendly and attentive. I was surprised that they have a lunchtime happy hour and I got a delicious $6 lychee martini. Can't beat that! I did the $29 prefix lunch special. The brussels sprouts were amazing! It had a little tang to it and I appreciated that they left a big water bottle so I was never left thirsty. The burger was also good, but I was pretty full after the brussels sprouts, so I took most of that to go. There is a seasonal sorbet and it sounds like it changes pretty regularly. Mine was a coconut lychee, which was great. The servers who dropped off the food described it each time. I thought it was an awesome deal for lunch! read more

We went to Uchiko back in February during their opening week. We had gone to Uchiko Austin and love Uchi here, so we were super excited for a Denver location. Unfortunately, the service was actually bad. Our server was nowhere to be found for long periods of time, and they also kept bringing dishes that weren't ours to the table and then taking them back (3+ times). We did the omakase where your server chooses items based on your budget, which we do this at Uchi all the time, and it was actually shocking how little food we got for the pricepoint. In all, we got 3 small dishes and 4 pieces of nigiri each for over $150 per person?? We had to go way over budget to have a filling dinner, which has never happened before at Uchi. I'm willing to write it off as opening pains, but we're going to wait a loooong while before going back and just go to Uchi instead. read more
