on Citysearch Oct 28, 2009I've tried so hard to like the sushi here (because everyone else does) but I simply can't. First, the atmosphere. It's very cramped...I was sitting with my date and felt the constant swish of people walking by me... (more)

on Citysearch Jun 10, 2009We sat at the sushi bar so that we could watch the food be made, and the chef was incredibly nice and even gave us a free sample of a seafood salad. Our glasses were never empty, and the waiter was very pleasant. The diablo... (more)

on Citysearch Sep 28, 2008We've eaten here twice for dinner at sushi bar and it's great all around. Great service and the sushi chefs give you personal service hard to find elsewhere. The sushi chef overheard my husband talking about it being... (more)

on Citysearch Jun 18, 2008Love their sushi. The Diablo Roll is soooo good! But their wine list is really atrocious. Nothing but cheap, dirt-tasting wine, and I've mentioned it to them numerous times and they don't seem to care. Otherwise,... (more)

on Citysearch Apr 16, 2008Since their remodel a couple of years ago, the atmosphere has vastly improved. No stuffy sushi chefs here - just frienldy staff and great company. Most importantly, the fish is PERFECT and a good value compared to any... (more)

on Citysearch Apr 16, 2008Some of the best sushi not just in Denver, but anywhere. Expertly prepared! Be sure to pay attention to the homemade soy sauce - truly a great match for the fish. SIt outside on the patio for happy hour and people watch on... (more)

on Citysearch Apr 09, 2008Do you remember when Japon was a tiny hole in the wall? No more. Japon has never looked better. The space is open, airy and modern with views of the sushi bar from almost every seat in the house. The food is great and in... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 01, 2008I have to say I enjoyed their sushi and sake. I sat at the sushi bar and enjoyed the conversation I had with the Japanese sushi chef (I am Japanese, too). It wasn't a busy night, but our waiter kept rushing me and my date by... (more)

on Citysearch Dec 29, 2007Too pricey for the quality of the food. I'm a sushi-lover, and to me It' was nothing special for sushi. The atmosphere was really nice--it looked expensive to keep up a place like that, but maybe that's why the food is... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 11, 2007I first went to Japon for my birthday and fell in love with the place! I eat sushi a few times a month and this is one of my favorites in Denver! The sushi is always fresh with excellent fresh fish, ginger, and wasabi! The... (more)

on Citysearch Apr 13, 2007We have gone to Japon 4 times now. We keep giving it a chance because it is within walking distance but they continue to fail to impress us. This place is in a good spot and really needs to step it up. Our first plate of sushi... (more)

on Citysearch Dec 07, 2006I really like the sushi and thought the salmon teriyaki was very fresh and cooked great. However, we were seated at the sushi bar and the sushi chef only gave us half our order filled other orders that came way after ours... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 16, 2006I came here on a Sunday night for a rather early dinner. The restaurant wasn't too crowded but definitely got busier as the evening went on. The atmosphere is great. The wall of water is almost hypnotic. The sushi is... (more)

on Citysearch Jun 29, 2006<b>In Short</b><br>From the street, it looks like a Japanese fast-food joint--a small space tucked into a strip mall. But inside, colors dance on walls and glass, a surfer rides down a painted wave and the dining... (more)

on Citysearch Apr 16, 2006I usually order sushi - which has never faltered in quality to me. After trying ALL of the well-known sushi restaurants in Denver I have always found the fish to be extremely fresh and highly recommend Japon to my... (more)

on Citysearch Feb 23, 2006Hands down the best quality sushi in town - we'll be back for sure! Not that the others are bad - there's nights when we do enjoy the other usual suspects (Sushi Den, Sasa, etc.). Though Japon may not be as... (more)
