Top 5 Sushi in Denver
Denver's sushi picks — cross-referenced from Westword's 2024 Readers' Choice Best Sushi winner, Westword's 2025 Best Sushi guide, and 5280's 10 of Denver's Best Sushi Restaurants.
- #1
Sushi Den
Platt Park
“Westword Readers' Choice Best Sushi 2024, 2026 editorial pick, and 5280 top pick — the Kizaki brothers' 1984 South Pearl flagship still flies in its catch daily from Japanese fish markets.”
- #2
Matsuhisa Denver
Cherry Creek
“Westword's 2025 pick — chef Nobu Matsuhisa's Cherry Creek sushi and Nikkei room, where black cod miso and yellowtail jalapeño are the permanent house calls.”
- #3
Sushi Sasa
LoHi
“5280 pick — chef Wayne Conwell's LoHi fixture, a tasting-menu-capable room that's been a Denver sushi benchmark for two decades.”
- #4
OTOTO
Platt Park
“5280 pick — the more casual South Pearl companion to Sushi Den, built around specialty rolls and izakaya-style plates from the same sourcing operation.”
- #5
Uchi Denver
RiNo
“5280 pick — chef Tyson Cole's RiNo outpost of the James Beard–winning Austin original, known for inventive maki and seasonal Japanese tasting.”
