Comment: Great sushi in a relaxed environment. Ordered the triple aburi and a bunch of rolls. The service was incredibly fast. The sushi is great and the cost is extremely reasonable. Parking is a bit of a challenge. Highly recommended for sushi in Denver.

Comment: The sushi here is out of this world! Would highly recommend!! I’m from Detroit and I would literally like to pick this sushi restaurant up and move it to Michigan - that’s how good it is!!!! The fish is perfection and the service was incredible. The servers have been so kind and the sushi came out incredibly fast. Can’t hype this place up enough!

Comment: I moved here from California 7 months ago and I have been super picky about getting sushi in a land locked state. I saw the reviews for this place and was highly impressed so I decided to go there for lunch while I got my oil changed next door. Absolutely incredible sushi and service. I was super happy to find a place with so much variety for rolls and such good food. Cant wait to come back!

Comment: I am absolutely FLOORED by the exquisite SERVICE, QUALITY, & ARTISTRY we experienced here. A group of us met up to celebrate my husbands birthday and the woman taking care of our table couldnt have made us feel more special. The selection of food is phenomenal and everything that arrived at the table was devoured with gusto!

Comment: Decent sushi for happy hour or lunch. Used to be much better a few years ago. But really not bad. Specialty rolls are probably the best way to go.

Comment: Pretty good BiBimbap, it was crunchy and flavorful and delicious. Just what I needed on a cold day.I only remembered to take a photo after I had already mixed everything. Definitely take your time to mix it all so you can get all the flavors in every bite.There was lots of food leftover, so I heated it up in a skillet the next day with an egg fried over it and it was even better than the day before. Highly recommend.

Comment: Today we enjoyed our second visit to Rocky Yama Sushi and I wish we could have found this place sooner!The service at the restaurant is wonderful. From the moment we walked in the door, we were greeted genuinely by the staff. Our server, Luzee, was super kind and our food was fabulous. They catered well to my partners gluten allergen as well. 10/10 would recommend to a friend

Comment: My family and I are visiting Dever for the first time. We are coming from California.The sushi here is the greatest Ive ever had. All of the fish was of the highest quality and was prepared to melt in your mouth. The menu is extremely diverse, ensuring that there is a dish for everyone.The food here is prepared with the highest care, and quality ingredients that surpass all other restaurants. The owners are Very kind and family-friendly individuals. The staff was extremely hospitable, incredibly kind, helpful, and knowledgeable, and they were able to assist me in making a smart selection for an incredible eating adventure.Finest sushi Ive had in Denver. We truly adore coming here and absolutely return when I visit Denver.

Comment: The Samurai and Yellowtail Roll are heavenly. I havent had sushi this fresh with extraordinary service in a long. My 10 year old had the California Roll and they topped it off with some tempura flakes which elevated the textures quite nicely.My 9 year old had the pork fried rice which was seriously out of this world! The pork was smoky and flavorful.Enjoy!

Comment: Im not usually one for sushi, but this place blew me out of the water. The service was great, the sushi was good, and apparently they fly in fish from Tokyo every day. Quite expensive, but very good place for dinner. The servers were kind, and everything was pretty good.

Comment: Overall a decent sushi restaurant. Fish were fresh and the rice was super moist and delicious. They had an average menu selection to choose from. I went during lunch so there wasn’t a crowd, we were sat right away and taken care of immediately by the friendly staff.We also ordered the fried rice and ramen. The ramen broth was just very salty, maybe it was sitting on heat too long it got salty. Fried rice is just as you expect from any good restaurant.For a very slow afternoon, the restroom were not fully stocked. Both restrooms are unisex and one restroom did not have paper towels. Otherwise, everything was pretty clean and tidy.The parking lot out back is very tight and a nightmare. They share their rear parking with Grease Monkey. You can also do street parking. This is all expected due to location of the facility.4/5 stars for first time experience5/5 for atmosphere and friendly staff5/5 stars for sushi & fried rice2/5 stars for the ramen3/5 parking, that is to be expected downtownMaybe I will give it another try in the future, but not something I’d go out of my way for.

Comment: Cool little spot! Service was prompt in the beginning and little slower through round 2, but overall pretty great experience. Will definitely be back. We had just missed happy hour and that may have been a value for everything we ordered. Sushi was a little thin in comparison to what I prefer, but again good. Not the largest variety of rolls that weve ever seen, but what they have they do well.

Comment: Sushi in Denver is famously not so great, and often very over-priced. However, Rocky Yama is one of the best places Ive found in the area! The happy hour here is amazing because theres a ton of options and at great prices. I especially enjoyed the Red Dragon roll. The staff were helpful and friendly, and our waitress made sure to ask us if we wanted to place any more orders before happy hour ended. Its a very good spot if you want a variety of sushi at an affordable cost.

Comment: Absolutely favourite place to go! We live in 5 minutes from there, so when we think about getting sushi this is our place to go. The food is absolutely delicious and servers are always very welcoming and nice. Although, it’s sad that they close pretty early, even though they’re for sure busy right before closing. 5 stars, definitely best sushi in the neighbourhood!

Comment: The server was really slow, to her I will give 3.5. she was really slow, I dont know why. I had to ask her few times about box and bill. So I didnt like the servise. She ignore me mostly. I dont know why she didnt bring the two 🍲 together even if I asked. It was really cold and she told me when I feel the breeze she would start the heater, but she didnt. To other guests she started immediately. It was cold and I wanted to eat and go. My hands freeze.The sushi is great! The food is fresh and tasty and prepare on the spot. The 5 points are for the sushi chief!!! Great job! Thank you!!!The server was polite when talking. But she never checked if I needed something while sitted and it was only me and another table whom arrived when I was living. Just lazy, not carrying, or maybe she had a bad day. No I didnt feel like welcome guest, I felt more like a disturbance.The server bring water, took my order, bring the miso in two separate moments and bring the food, didnt ask if I needed anything else. I ask for bags and Bill, she walked to the next table but didnt bring me what I asked for. It was slow. I did left her only 4$, but seriously she didnt deserve no tip.I give her the tip for being polite but not for serving me.Over all I will go to eat there again! I recommend it!! Great food!The servise seams to discriminate single people. Not sure why...

Comment: The Sakura Shumai was my fave and it’s been ages since I had such great shumai. I thought the sushi was okay, but not standout. Based on reviews and photos, I did expect more. Sushi is not cheap and requires good packing. Although I ordered from a 3rd party for delivery, I do still expect quality. The rice on a couple of rolls seemed a bit soggy as well. Overall, the taste was good, but based on price paid, it wouldn’t be my first choice of sushi in Denver.

Comment: Rocky Yama Sushi was an excellent choice for a hungry traveler. I hit up the restaurant just in time to order off the happy hour menu. All the restaurant menu items were discounted and the wine and beer was BOGO. The service was superb and the food was fresh. I recommend this sushi restaurant if your in the Denver area. If you get there before 6pm you can order off the happy hour menu.

Comment: Some of the freshest, most delicious sushi we’ve ever had. The sashimi just melts in your mouth. We got 5 rolls and 3 sets of sashimi (salmon, halibut and yellowtail). Each was just incredible. The flavors and ingredients of the rolls complemented each other wonderfully, the fish again was just SO fresh. Even the soy sauce, wasabi and pickled ginger were so good. You really could taste the quality of this food. We loved everything about our experience, the chef and staff were so friendly. We have found our new go to sushi place. Also, 20% off takeout right now!

I’ve gone back several times and each visit has been great, both in the service and quality of food, so I had to write a review. These are just a few things that I tried. All were delicious.

Comment: We went for happy hour, which they don’t have on first Friday. However, the prices are good and the sushi was great. The service was very good and they had a fair selection of sake. It wasn’t very busy when we got there. They have nice sushi bar seating and outdoor seating for the warmer days.

Comment: Fresh ingredients: ginger, wasabi, vegetables and meats. Presentation and customer service was excellent. I highly recommend the seaweed salad. I ordered the pick 2 lunch special. Salad comes with your order but for a $1 more you can upgrade to the seaweed salad. I didnt believe the hype and got the regular salad. That was a mistake it was good but when I tried my friends seaweed salad a love affair began lol. I ended up getting a seaweed salad to go.I chose the Philadelphia and spicy salmon rolls. Each roll was 8 pieces for a total of 16 pieces. The best part the pick 2 lunch special was only $10.99 but not including the seaweed salad upgrade but thats a good price in my book. I will be back to support this restaurant.

Comment: Really excited to have a good sushi restaurant within walking distance of home with great food! Reasonable prices, super fresh fish and sushi rice was especially well-done. The owners are welcoming and genuinely open to feedback as they look to make a home here on Santa Fe. We’ll be back, probably to try happy hour since it goes until 6, which is hard to find in Denver.

Comment: This is one of the best sushi restaurants in the Denver metro. Absolutely amazing fresh tasting sushi with excellent service. It’s a little low key but priced well. I wish I took better pics but it’s honestly on the same level as the ‘higher end’ joints when it comes to taste. Can’t wait to go back.
