I'm always on the lookout for a good Sushi restaurant. Allow me to share some of my favorite (and not so favorite) Sushi locations in Denver. Please add you own and we can start a useful thread for others to use.

Sushi Han (downtown, Lawrence and 16th) -- My usual haunt, just about every week that I'm home. Perfect Edamame in a big bowl, the sunomono is excellent, and the Sushi is always fresh. Uni delivered Thursday and Saturday. Tam is the owner/chef and will keep you laughing. Earned my own pair of chopsticks here at Sushi Han. Mori (Downtown, Market and 20th, 1 block from Coors Field) -- Arguably the best quality in downtown. The Rainbow Roll includes seared tuna and real crab. Delish! Edamame is a small bowl. The chefs are great! Akebono (Downtown, Sakura Square, Larimer and 19th, upstairs) -- Nice restaurant with a small sushi bar. Decent quality but they use onion or something when steaming the Edamame. Sonoda's (Downtown, Larimer and 16th) -- Decent quality, huge sushi bar but noisy and crowded. The combination lunch is not that good for the price (in my opinion). Takayama (Lakewood, just southwest of Wadsworth on Jewel) -- A mom and pop place that caters to the local Japanese population. Excellent, generous sushi at a very fair price! Edamame servings are too small, but the rest of the menu is terrific for someone who doesn't love sushi.


There are many others, these are just my recent visits.

Please add your suggestions and comments!

I get to Denver a couple times a year and am defintely interested in good Sushi places to try. I've heard good things about Sonoda's but on my one try there, there was a long wait so I went for some fish tacos down at wahoos.

A couple family members live in Denver and have recently discovered Sushi. On my last trip they took me to Tommy Tsunami which was an odd experience. I think its the first japanese place I've been to that didn't have any japanese people working there, reminds me a lot of a PF Chang or other "high concept" places. That said, there's no rule that says you have to be Japanese to make sushi, and the final judge should be how good it is and it actually wasn't bad. Nothing great and certainly not worth the price, but the fish was fresh and cut just fine. Even more odd, on a whim we ordered the steak roll (yes cooked steak sushi). It was really good! I'd go back for that and somewhere else for the fish.
