Uchi Denver Reviews
This is my favorite restaurant in Denver hands down no
This is my favorite restaurant in Denver hands down no question. They are consistent, food is absurdly good, service is impeccable. Empty plates don't stay on our table for more than a minute. It was me and my partners anniversary the other day and we tried another sushi spot (sushi den), which was an awful experience. We came to Uchi to makeup for it and sat at the sushi bar. Jessie the sushi chef heard about our bad experience on our anniversary and decided to makeup for it. He made this the most memorable meal we have ever had, with lots of complimentary bites. We can't thank Uchi and Jessie enough for this special night!

The food was delicious and service was great! Portions are small, so order more dishes than you normally would.

Uchi Denver was a delectable dining experience! We sat at the sushi bar in front of Chef Jesse and he took great care of us. He listened to our allergens, as well as what flavors we were interested in or not too fond of- and he crafted us the perfect dining experience. He's charming, but doesn't overly interject- and his descriptions of each dish really set the scene for us! We'll be back!
Went to a Maki Roll lesson and tasting dinner.
Our first time at Uchi. On the positive side, it was fun learning to how to make one of their signature Maki Rolls, The tasting dinner was just mediocre. While it was enjoyable for the nice people that were also there, the food was disappointing. Much of the food was overly salted and relatively uninteresting. We are new to Denver and wanted to try this place. We are happy we did but we won't go back. If you are a true fan of authentic sushi this is not your place.
Favorite sushi spot in Denver.
There's a lot of restaurants around this area but this is the best one by a long shot. High quality, fresh, well prepared, knowledgeable, delicious and the servers are so kind. I went here for a date night and was surprised by the quality of the entire establishment. I thought "it's Denver how good can it be?" and was pleasantly corrected. Do not miss this spot
Uchi is an upscale sushi restaurant with an outstanding
Uchi is an upscale sushi restaurant with an outstanding menu of fine sushi. The service is terrific. Very attentive and helpful explaining the different menu options and making recommendations. We tried six different items and every one was wonderful. We all thoroughly enjoyed sampling different items, sipping wine, and having leisurely conversation. A culinary experience that can't be beat.
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.
I am a Foodie and some people call me Sushi instead of
I am a Foodie and some people call me Sushi instead of Susie because of my love for it. I try to seek out high quality Sushi when traveling and go to great lengths whether to secure a spot at Jiro in Tokyo or to find the best local eateries in cities I visit. But regardless of the eatery, I not only hope for fresh creative fish, I hope for kind interactive service no matter where I am at a hole in the wall or a Michelin Star recognized place and especially when paying a high premium Like at Uchi... which really is a small Chain. I should have gone with Sushi Den. I really have never sat through such an impersonal and lackluster experience for a place of this caliber. My server Brandy was lovely so this is not about her. It seems some people get a special experience which really should be the norm If you sit at the Sushi Bar you should have the attention of the sushi chefs. Instead while people Next to me got introduced with all the specials and Omakase choices and full genuine attention, I was told I would order through a server as they don't have enough chefs to accommodate all their guests. oh Okay so how did you decided that? Did you survey who you like best? Did you decide that only couple get this treatment? What were your qualifications? When I complained as I always like to be proactive and wanted to turn the experience around, I got a guy who really had no tolerance or care to hear about my dietary needs as a Diabetic. Is he aware that it is actually a disability? So when I kindly ask for no rice - really a simple request, he says he isn't allowed to take the rice out! I mean how messed up is that? Anyway he "fulfilled" his basic duties of serving me at the sushi bar but bare minimum all in the box professional no effort to interact and no effort to make sure I was comfortable with the ingredients. Really absolutely unacceptable $170 later. He almost seemed bothered that I wanted Sashimi which I knew was safe for me. He also forgot to give me the Yellow Tail Special that he had recommended that I had ordered. The fish was delicious and super fresh but I would take a place less Cocky any day over this that genuinely cares about their customers health safety and Experience. You would think especially after I made an effort to tell them they could right the experience that they would have interacted with Care. This is an Americanized Sushi Chain with the dollar as their bottom line. They definitely judge who they want to give top care to and disregard dietary concerns. I really hope to discuss further with management how absolutely discriminatory and unacceptable their services were. What is that quote you may forget what someone says but you don't forget how you were made to feel. That cost about half a teacher's pay to leave feeling that way. By contrast my Brunch at Root Down was so lovely and Coffee with a side of understanding and kindness. Some of the freshest fish around left me with a really bad taste in my mouth and my heart. Sorry that my very few meals in Denver was wasted here and how degrading to expect me to pick the rice out of my food at $170. Not because I don't want it but because I can't have it. Pulease not to mention how wasteful! Do better Uchi Denver.
Get that it was a Saturday night but absolutely terrible
Get that it was a Saturday night but absolutely terrible service. Wait staff seemed to be interested in everyone else but our table.
Yummmmmmmmmm!!!!!!! Best sushi in Colorado.
I have been there several times and always leave extremely satisfied.
Run to Uchi!
Uchi was wonderful, and Tiffany curated our ideal meal within our budget. Don’t skimp and let them organize one of the best meals of your life! The lobster, wagyu, nigiri, sashimi and fried milk dessert were highlights. Thank you Tiffany for an amazing experience!
Nice experience!
Good with a group for a speical experience with many fun dishes. Our waitress was good at explaining how we should order for our group. A bit expensive and small dishes, but was good for a special occasion. Desserts good too!
I visited Uchi for a special occasion and had a wonderful
I visited Uchi for a special occasion and had a wonderful time! We happened to get a reservation during happy hour and sampled a few options from the happy hour menu and regular menu. I enjoyed the happy hour items the most! Our server was fantastic and helpful as we wanted to narrow down what we ordered. I would come back for special occasions but based on the prices, Uchi wouldn't be my go-to sushi spot.
Wonderful experience.
Great service and amazing sushi . Traveling through Denver with family and we had a great time there
Absolutely phenomenal! We are so glad that we came back and
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
Let me start by saying the food was amazing.
We ordered the Omakase and every dish was prepared to perfection and we thoroughly enjoyed every single bite. The cocktails were also delicious. But when you spend $400 for a meal before service, you expect good service. We ordered a 10 course Omakase, and throughout the meal our courses came out on top of one another, and at one point we had three courses delivered to our table none of the servers bothered to remove the finished plates. I felt it was rushed because the courses just came out on top of each other instead of being spaced. I also found that the noise level made it so that I couldn't even hear what the servers were describing for each course. Overall I spent close to $500. The food was delicious but service needs much work. For that amount of money I almost expect white tablecloth service, and this was far from it.
For all the hype this place gets, I didn't think the
For all the hype this place gets, I didn't think the overall experience or food was worth it or great. If you're going to spend on sushi, go somewhere where you can enjoy the service and space. This place is always packed and hard to get a reservation, yet inside it's very loud, was stuffy and the decor doesn't align with the prices. It felt like a sushi place rather than fine dining that was meant to be an experience. The service was mediocre, our waitress didn't explain the menu or say what the specials or favorites were. She just took our order and then the food was arriving and delivered by a bunch of others. It felt rushed and not relaxing. The food overall lacked creativity and imagination. The best thing we had was the foie nigiri, for a sushi place it's just funny. The fish was fresh, but the sashimi was a bit bland, there was no soy sauce or wasabi served with it, and the rolls were the regular suspects, nothing creative. I'd rather go to Kumoya which is overall better at every level.
Great experience.
Service was exceptional and loved the food. Perfect place to celebrate a special occasion.
Wow. Amazing!! Best sushi I've had in Denver by far!
Wow. Amazing!! Best sushi I've had in Denver by far! Everything was so fresh and delicious. I went for a happy hour on my birthday and we got one drink each and a bottle of wine off their happy hour menu. I got the Ube Punch (pictured) and it was so refreshing and tasty. The happy hour nigiri is such a good deal and we got so many orders! Sushi rolls were awesome too. The service was great. Our waitress helped us understand the menu and kept coming around seeing if we wanted to order more. It was delivered to our table quickly. It's on the expensive side, but the happy hour is a great deal. Great vibes in there. 10/10 will be back!
This was an amazing experience.
The food was delicious. We ordered the HH omakase, the Hama chili, kinoko nabe, walu walu and some various sashimi. All of it was great! They have a wonderful variety of fish options. I would recommend this place to anyone that enjoys seafood! The ambience was very cool. I noticed that it does get louder as it gets later. We sat at the sushi bar and enjoyed it very much. Reservations are highly recommended for how busy they can get. Definitely worth going to and trying everything on the menu!
How can you not recommend uchi? Service is always amazing,
How can you not recommend uchi? Service is always amazing, drinks are fresh and delicious and fish is flavorful and exciting
Uchi is one of my favorite restaurants and I can't wait to
Uchi is one of my favorite restaurants and I can't wait to go back! The staff is always so delightful and I love how fresh everything is. I love how different Uchi in other cities there's specialty that has to do with that city, so and Denver one there's some more meat, focused dishes that change seasonally. I'm going back this weekend and I can't wait!
Average
I was looking for an experience with all the hype I’ve read. Sadly, this is an average overpriced experience.
Delicious & fresh!
We are Austinites relocated to Colorado and this Uchi location is just like the original! We had an exceptional experience with Felix, he was awesome and recommending items and informing us about the menu. The quality of the food is so good & the creativity behind each dish is amazing. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a fresh, delicious meal
B grade at best
Nothing special but very pricey for poorly cut sashimi. Excuses as to why it was prepared differently. This might fly will novice sushi customers but B grade at best. Pretty disappointed with the entire experience. Will not recommend or return.
Holy mother of God.
I'm drooling writing this review...seriously. Uchi rocked my world. My expectations could not have been higher I was still blown away. BLOWN. AWAY. We started with the wagyu tartare which is arguably my new favorite dish of all time (hot take?). I love love love tartare and this was the best I've ever had. Next we moved to the Hama Chili which I was mentally comparing to the yellow tail sashimi from Nobu. Totally different and in the best way possible. I genuinely considered picking up the plate to drink that delicious broth. The citrus was the perfect compliment to the delicate hamachi. Otoro time: We got the sashimi served with a bowl of rice and it was so wonderful. Melt on your tongue & dissolve into buttery heaven type bite. Dredging the otoro in the sauce was by no means necessary but oh so good. We ordered a round of Lychee Martinis which are my absolute favorite cocktail that I rarely have the opportunity to drink. SO yum. The service was wonderful & atmosphere was pretty impressive especially for a 9pm reservation. We finished with the fried milk which is a must. I have a major sweet tooth but typically am too full after a meal to order a dessert. The fried milk was next level. Every single element of the dish was perfect. All in all one of my favorite dining experiences in Denver. Can't wait to find an excuse to come back soon. Cheers.
This is one of our favorite spots in Denver.
Every time I visit I have to come! The service is amazing, they are very accommodating and have great pace when bringing dishes. They've even give us a few gift cards sometimes, which is very thoughtful. Do make sure to make an reservation in advance, they can get very busy! The place is beautiful and has great ambience. But the best part of course is the food! Everything Ive tried is delicious. I don't even order seafood often, but here I do. Some must haves include the ham and eggs, nasu, butter lobster, pork belly and the fried milk. Their desserts are all delicious as well! My favorite restaurant in Denver!
This restaurant was an extraordinary culinary adventure for
This restaurant was an extraordinary culinary adventure for us last Thursday night. The ambience was perfect to celebrate my mother-in-law's birthday. We ordered the Chef's tasting menu (6 courses for 2), which was recommended by our fabulous server Sam. She was so knowledgable about all Ushi offerings & listened intently to our preferences. Next time we are in Denver, we will plan a return dinner visit to Uchi
Expensive hipster sushi.
Definitely have to be cool to go here. Makes you feel like you're in LA or Miami when they make you wait for a table even though there's plenty available. Sauces are on nearly every dish so not a whole lotta fish flavor going on. The food was pretty good. They definitely try to do too much to make things overly fancy. Menu was difficult to understand. The simple menu items were marginal at best and I think that's because they want you to spend high-dollar for what I just said was the overly fancy options.You have to ask for soy sauce and wasabi because apparently you're not cool if you use it with sushi. I get the traditional approach but when the server made my company feel uncomfortable I thought that was pretty lame. Not necessarily her fault... She had clearly been trained to suggest soy sauce was not appropriate at the restaurant.Otherwise, really great service.
The food.
The service and the ambiance were awful. A very negative experience and of course, rude staff. They served us Foie Gras and I DONT RECOMMEND THIS. This is the worst dish on the menu. Ever since I dined here, I'll never come back.
For such a fine artsy dining experience.
Why did this place has such poor ventilation. Along with the wood interior and all the beef grilling. The wood would absorbed all that meaty smell. The foods were a hit or miss based on the contrasting ingredients. The Hama chili was a refreshing appetizer. Couldn't taste much of the yellowtail due to the strong citrus sauce. Zero sen just taste like a normal tuna California roll. Biendo taste like any regular spring roll. Last bit not least are the pork belly and gyutoro overpriced nigiri. Was not impressed.I would have to say the service was really fast seeing hoe busy it was. And the banana cake was the best dish of the meal. Coffee flavored ice cream, top it off with bitter caramel and banana cake. 8/10 would not recommend this restaurant for a meal leaving you full for the night.
This restaurant is a hidden gem! The food was amazing, and
This restaurant is a hidden gem! The food was amazing, and the service was exceptional. The menu was unique and had a great variety of dishes to choose from. The ambiance was cozy and intimate, making it the perfect spot for a romantic dinner. I highly recommend this restaurant
We came here for our 9 year anniversary and was not
We came here for our 9 year anniversary and was not disappointed (It was our first time at Uchi). We opted for the six course signature tasting menu and added some delicious oysters on the side. Our server Javier was great and made the experience more enjoyable.Out of the 6 courses the standouts were the hama chili, kinoko nabe, and the fried milk for dessert. Everything though was super delicious, but those were my favorite dishes. For first timers I would would recommend the tasting menu, to try as many dishes as you can (Note: there is a 6 and 10 course tasting menu that are worth every penny). Our whole meal was a lot less than other restaurants of this caliber.We will definitely be back for more delicious food!
Pro tip: Make a reservation for happy hour.
The food is definitely worth the regular price, so my pro tip is mostly for y'all to try all the dishes possible. They truly are just smaller versions of the regular menu. What I truly love about this place is that it doesn't try to do sushi; it really is about taking Japanese cooking techniques to food. I love the walu walu and the amberjack if you need suggestions. The drinks are also delightful. My favorite is the yame yaki but please explore.
The unbelievable staff at Uchi were outstanding during our
The unbelievable staff at Uchi were outstanding during our visit. We had friends in town who had been slightly over served before we got to our dinner reservation and invited another member to our party without informing us, but Uchi (on a very busy Saturday night) made accommodations for our group. Our server had the patience of a saint and took the time to explain the menu to our guests, including one who kept trying to order fried rice (which isn't on the menu)The food itself was top tier. Everything was amazing, and I generally don't eat sushi or seafood. The ambiance is romantic and upscale and feels like the food tastes (top quality)If there was a knock it is the price point which like the food previously mentioned is top tier. Be prepared to open your wallet here.
Have been coming here for years and every time somehow tops
Have been coming here for years and every time somehow tops the previous visit. We've been lucky enough to have the same incredible server, Eric, who not only knows the menu front to back but isn't afraid to give his insight into the hidden gems on the menu. You can't go wrong with this menu but the Sake Salmon and Hama Chili tuna will always have us coming back from more.
The sushi here is not the traditional one.
The chefs here have added their own personal flavor to the sushi dishes, resulting in a fusion style sushi.We ordered 16 different types of sushi and a dessert to top it off. While all of them were good, three of them stood out as our favorites - the Foie Gras, Walu Walu, and Dulcey Trifle. However, we were disappointed by the small sizes of the sushi pieces, which made the price point quite steep.Our server Wade was attentive and provided us with informative insights on the dishes. The other staff members were also quick to clear out the plates, making the dining experience quite enjoyable.In terms of quality and service, this place definitely met our expectations. However, the value for money was not up to par, especially given the small portion sizes. I think Sushi Den has all the qualities that I'm looking for.The restaurant is quite busy, so we recommend making a reservation beforehand. Additionally, street parking can be a hassle, so we suggest taking advantage of the valet parking services.
Great food, but the price was higher than expected at $200
Great food, but the price was higher than expected at $200 per person for the Omokase, not $120 as I saw a few people mention on Yelp. After drinks and tip we were out the door for $300 a head. Definitely more expensive than intended, but delicious nonetheless.
Great food and atmosphere.
Has a great time and able to try lots of smaller items on happy hour and mix with items from the full menu we also wanted to try. Highly recommend

This place satisfies my soul.
I like the omakase here and the atmosphere is pretty cool toooooooooo. Luv u uchi. Xoxoxoxo
An incredible experience
I am not familiar with a lot of the intricacies of ordering sushi. My experience with it has always been kind of mediocre to bad. However my daughter and son-in-law were visiting from Seattle and believe me, they know. They also had experienced Uchi several years ago in Austin as well. They treated us to dinner and I have to say I was a little intimidated. We got the omakase plus hot rock wagu beef and oh my....it was incredible. Service was equally wonderful and the attention to every detail was spectacular. We absolutely loved it.
Excellent food and service
So good! First time to Uchi. Grow house is on 2nd floor. Tried the 10 course meal and it was a great variety of Chefs specials and things I wouldn’t normally order but absolutely loved.
Sushi and cub More!
The food was absolutely delicious. Very vibrant flavors and unique presentations. The beef served on the hot rock was so good that my boyfriend I considered getting another order. I had a salad which was prepared as delicious lettuce wraps of ingredients. My server suggested that I eat it with my hands which seemed messy but she was right. All the ingredients are in each bite when eaten that way. Wonderful. Make sure to get a fried milk for dessert. You won’t be sorry!

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Uchi Denver at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Uchi Denver page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* BraveCloth47, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* BraveCloth47 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to BraveCloth47 for any questions Peter may have as BraveCloth47 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* BraveCloth47 now uses their connections at Uchi Denver to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If BraveCloth47 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, BraveCloth47 receives the $200 reward which is credited to BraveCloth47's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Uchi Denver!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
