Uchi Denver

Truly a Michelin Start quality restaurant which are hard to find in Denver. I recommend getting the tasting menu, we were nicely surprised with the variety of dishes. Also, the menu itself is a bit tricky to navigate through. All the plates had greatcombinations of flavor and texture, and just fantastic quality of produce. Highly recommend!

Really delicious, sometimes surprising food with quality ingredients. Bartender and staff were super welcoming, each dish was explained fully as it came out (sometimes with a more detailed description than the menu provided! . Had such a great meal ofsmall plates and sushi, split partly with the Happy Hour menu (which is every day, including weekends! I can highly recommendthis spot if you?re looking for somewhere fun and hip with unique food!

The 10 course omakase was an amazing experience. Many of the dishes were items I wouldn't have tried otherwise. The flavor profile was absolutely perfect. Lizzy was a wonderful waitress that explained exactly what went into each dish, she was genuinely excited for us to taste every single one of them. She shared her own experience and helped us identify specific flavors and ingredients. At the end of the meal they provide you with an itemized receipt so you can order your favorites next time.

What an amazing experience. Our server Nichole was amazing. She gave the best suggestions for pre dinner cocktails, what sake to have through dinner, and post dinner cocktails. We can't wait to go back to experience the rest of the menu. We did the Valentine's day omakase so there's so much more to experience there.

I would give 2-3 star if this restaurant is in NYC, Hawaii, or California where Japanese food is really good, but hey, we’re at Denver, so let me lower my bar a little bit. Sushi are nice, but the rice could have been a little bit sticker. Also I don’t know why the portion is so small (maybe seafood is expensive here), but that doesn’t feel satisfying when I put a piece into my mouth. In terms of taste, not among the best sushi I’ve tried, but I can see some creativity here and there. Ordered Wagyu for hot dish, and it’s too salty. Fried Milk (the dessert) is ok, nothing really stand out. I do hope they lower the sweetness though. Overall not a bad place to try out if you’re at Denver and craving for quality Japanese food!
