The sushi was great (salmon, tuna, albacore, and eel), but the rolls were only so-so.

This is seriously the only decent sushi place in the Denver metro area. Service and food is good..

Good sushi in Golden is something I would never expect to hear, but this little place has it! Portions are massive, and they are generous with the fish, which is excellent. And the wasabi is fresh,...

This is a pretty decent little sushi restaurant. From the front it doesn't look like much, and it's situated on a little street surrounded by some not so friendly looking structures, but inside it's...

As a Golden resident, I had all but given up hope for finding fresh, innovative sushi without driving down to Denver, and then I tried Sushi Uokura. The newly expanded dining room now has a nice...

I love this place and I'm a sushi snob. There's one place in Vail that compares but besides that there's nothing better in Colorado! If you know and love sushi, give em a try you'll be hooked!

It's not the BEST SUSHI EVER (that honor goes to a hole in the wall on the southwest end of the Tsukiji Market in Tokyo, closely followed by Shiki in Seattle, WA), but for being 1000 miles from an...

Yes, I've had better sushi, but you'll be hard pressed to find any so good this far from the ocean. It's pretty standard fare, but probably the best fit for this market. If you like heat, try the...

The sushi here was generally ok, but my boyfriend ordered some kind of fried roll that we couldnt even eat. It was almost like they put dog food in it. He ordered a different fried roll to replace...

I liked it. It was far from perfect anything. The sushi meshi was off, they use either a lower quality of nori or they don't parch it adequately, the fish was okay, not great, the saba shio wasn't...

IMO, The sushi here ranks at the way bottom. I wasn't impressed with the menu choices and the rolls were laden with overcooked rice and chewy seaweed. I don't understand how a sushi chef could mess up...

Sushi Uokura is easily the best sushi I have ever eaten. I'm originally from Texas, and we get a lot of good sushi down there. We are closer to the water, so I'd expect it, and when I moved here, I thought for...

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...

"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...

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...
