About this business
Sushi Uokura, located near the Colorado School of Mines at the edge of Lakewood and Golden, may be out of the way, but it is one of the most popular Asian restaurants in the Denver area. Consistently voted one of Denver's best sushi restaurants, Sushi Uokura serves nothing but Japanese seafood in a lovely, soothing atmosphere, complete with fountains, patio, and a tiny indoor koi pond. Take out is also available, but the dine-in experience is even better than the food. The chef is a nationally renowned sushi expert and watch... read more

If you're eating landlocked sushi, this is the place – I've had sushi in virtually every country I've visited, and Sushi Uokura holds its own against them all. Their rolls are large and generous, but I go for the nigiri and it's fabulous. I generally start with a nigiri plate (reasonably priced at about $20) and throw in a rainbow roll and some sort of tempura roll (they have several from which to choose). The ambiance could be more appealing and I'd personally appreciate a child-free zone, but the food cannot be beat. We ge... read more
BEST SUSHI IN TOWN – Anyone who complains about Sushi Uokura should put the crack pipe down. I was really hesitant to eat sushi in CO when I moved here 10 years ago. Sushi Uokura was the first sushi I tried and by far is still the best. Ogi, the owner is a highly skilled and accomplished sushi chef who trained some of the best in SoCal. Their food is fresh and excellent and a much better value than others like Sushi Den. The albacore sashimi is succulent, the salmon sashimi is like butter. Try the "Golden Roll " If you want ... read more
WORST SUSHI IN TOWN – This place was the worst sushi joint that I have ever been to. My bill was 75.00 and wasn't worth 15.
Terrible food and service and the owner ripped off my friend! – Recently, my friend, fiance, and I went to Uokura for what we hoped would be a nice dinner. The waitress seated us and then left us without water for nearly 20 minutes. She finally came back to sell us drinks and take orders. The salad/miso arrived promptly but with no utensils. My fiance (who was starving) finally ate his salad with his bare fingers! His food came long before ours. His chicken was so dry that I can honestly say I've had better at McDonald's. He... read more
Best Sushi away from the coast – One of the best Japanese Restaurants in Colorado. I've seen some negative reviews for this place. I personally haven't experianced the Chef in a bad mood. The chef's skill is quite remarkable. As the son of a sushi chef I understand the trade marks of a skilled prepairer. The establishment itself is a tad on the shabby side but charming, especially in the winter. The rolls are obviously the chef's specialty and a spectacular one at that. If you want the typical bennehanna scripted experiance,... read more
"Go Home" was the response to me asking about the seared tuna being mushy. The old guy behind the sushi bar has the personality of a doorknob. Anytime I asked him anything he acted like I was a novice to sushi and was foolish for asking. The rolls were OK but the tuna was mushy and tasteless and when I asked for the bill, and the tuna was still on there, a big discussion ensued between the owner, the sushi chef and the waitress. After being embarrassed, and humiliated I finally got out of there. I encourage anyone NOT to sup... read more
Never Fails – We had heard many great things about Uokura and had to try it for ourselves. It does not disappoint. My husband has been several times for lunch, and I've been twice for lunch and dinner. Yes, the service is kind of slow, but we go to enjoy ourselves and take our time. I'm on here to get the phone number to make reservations for this weekend. My husband requested this restaurant for his birthday/leaving for Afghanistan celebration. We are introducing my family to Uokura, and are sure they will be just as smitte... read more
Comparable to Sonodas=disgusting – I have been here twice. Both my partner and I were not impressed at all-the second time being bad, the first just mediocre. The seaweed on the rolls was rubbery, which I hate because the rolls end up falling apart and I end up choking on it. The Las Vegas roll was the size of a hockey puc, and impossible to eat- with a mass of cream cheese on the inside and rubbery seaweed. The whole thing just fell apart. The california roll was like something you would get at Albertsons. The restaurant ha... read more
Quiet and relaxed – I live in Golden and I love sushi Uokura. I have been there many times and here is why i love it. I know that people complain about the slow service but that comes along with being in a mountain, same with the atomophere, you are in a western mountain town with a lot of down to earth people. The bar is a fun place to sit and watch them prepare your sushi infront of you and I love sushi Uokura so much that for the past two years my boyfriend and I have gone on our prom dinners there. If your looking for a ... read more
