Comment: Came here on a date night and made reservations (do this on weekends, there was limited space) and was sat at the sushi bar. We ordered the yellowtail jalapeño, tuna collar, yellowtail roll, blue fin roll, waygu sushi, and the Mkay roll. On top of the food being absolutely delicious (yellowtail roll and Mkay blew us away), the service was incredible. We sat at the sushi bar and Chefs Johnny and Brian (I think, we had a bottle of wine), and our server, Peter, were attentive, friendly, hilarious, and accommodating. By far some of the best sushi Ive had in Denver, we will most definitely be back.

Comment: A fabulous meal courtesy a very thoughtful staff! Hard to find someone as cheerful as Savannah welcome you and Joslyn is absolutely the best in being creative and going outta the way to orchestrate something off the menu! As a vegetarian I had somewhat limited options available but they whipped up a delicious veggie platter and a very tasty salad :)

Comment: By far the best Sushi in Denver. Parking was easy, and the host was quick to fulfill our reservation and seat us. The wait staff were friendly, welcoming, and even held the doors for us. Oh and the FOOD! Here are two pictures of some of the dishes we ordered. Usually I use soy sauce with any sushi, but this was so fresh and flavorful that soy wasn’t even thought of! Can’t wait to visit again!

Comment: Made a reservation for 7:30 at sushi bar. Arrived at 7:20 and were seated right away. Place was busy, and filled up. We ordered house salad, 12 nigiri, 3 rolls, gyoza, a big beer, and a bottle of sake. Everything was really good. Fish quality was great. The sushi chefs at the counter were engaging and fun. Beat sushi in Denver so far.

Comment: How this place has anything less than 4.8 stars, I’ll never know. Maybe some entitled people leaving 2 stars or less have something to do with it. Anyway For me, however, it’s a 5! For multiple reasons:1. This is the place to go if you’re willing to spend a decent amount of money for quality food, not quantity. So if you spend a lot and think you’re going to get the same amount of food for the same price somewhere else.. no.. this isn’t the place for that. You can spend $68 at a McDonald’s and get much more full.. just saying2. Don’t do take out if you want the best experience, flavor, texture, etc. If you order… idk.. chicken karaage for example - absolutely delicious in person! But if you order take out, I’d imagine it’ll become possibly soggy if it has to be delivered to you.. just come IN to enjoy it. Delivery might not be the best experience and could lead to an undeserved two star review……3. The guys behind the counter making our sushi for us were so fun to watch. They have years of practiced hands, skill, knowledge and it shows visually and in the food. They chat with us after about their work, their tools, skills and knives. Again, guys like this and the staff that took care of us deserve more than 2 stars!Will absolutely be back! Thanks for the delicious food, great service and fun experience 🤙🏼

Comment: I would recommend trying this place out. We did omakase and it was fun. They do it slightly differently here from other places Ive been to. Rather than individual pieces, they serve plates of sushi at a time. Everything was really good and we were full by the end. The chefs were fun (see my blurry pic of one of them). I think their standard omakase is $175, but they have cheaper options as well. We did the $125/person and it was still a lot of food. The place is a bit small and cramped, but otherwise no complaints. Id return again.

Comment: I went here due to the high ratings, and boy did they live up to the hype! The staff was courteous and attentive, but nevermind that, the sushi selection was more than extensive than I expected for a land locked state. Due to that extensive sushi selection, I ordered an Omakase and placed my trust in the chef to offer me the best menu items. It was incredibly delicious and will be coming back whenever I am back in Denver.

Comment: I’ve been eating sushi all over the world for the last 26 years and this place blew my mind. I usually share with people when I go out. This time I ordered exactly what I wanted, since I’m an adventurous eater, I tried lots items that were unique. I have to say the best pieces of sushi I have ever eaten in my life were the items you see in the round dishes on the left. Ankimo aka Munkfish liver with caviar. It was insane, a little sweet and a little savory, they call it the foie gras of the sea for a reason it was mind blowing. I was very lucky I didn’t have to pick up the bill haha. If you are looking to impress a foodie that is in from out of town this is the best place to go. I don’t drink alcohol but, I’m pretty well versed in it from working in nightlife and restaurants for the last 10 years and their selection of Japanese Whiskeys is probably the best in the entire Rocky Mountain Region. I have never kept the menu/receipt from a dinner but, I just never wanted to forget what I ate this day. *review number 300 which is pretty cool*

Comment: We had a great experience here at Ronin. Tyler served our group and was very knowledgeable about the menu and ingredients. Wife and I each had the Omakase which here at Ronin is a sashimi platter followed buy nigiri offerings and lastly two small but delicious rolls.Sushi Ronin is very clearly a modern resturant and lines up with the hip denver food scene, it was loud at times and plays rap/hip hop music. If you are looking for a traditional quiet experience this will not be the location for you.

Comment: Arrived solo at 5:30 pm on a misting Thursday evening and sat at the sushi bar. Given the early dinner there were only a few other patrons at the cocktail bar, sushi bar and tables combined.The ambience was welcoming, with Edison lights and big open windows. I was quickly greeted by one of the sushi chefs with a small cucumber salad before deciding on getting Chirashi ($28).It came with miso soup and a salad. The soup was standard miso, and the salad had fresh greens and wonderful vinaigrette. As soon as I was finished the chef, who I watched prepare the Chirashi dish, had it ready and walked me through each piece.For Denver, the sushi was fresh, the presentation was superb and I was completely satisfied by the portion size. Well worth the money and immediately a place I want to come back to.Highly recommend for friends, informal business gatherings and even a casual date spot.

Comment: Sushi Ronin had an excellent selection of fresh fish. There are excellent choices for sashimi and nigiri. There are not as many options for specialty sushi rolls as other sushi places in Denver but what they make is delicious. Our favorite roll was their signature Ronin roll and I highly recommend it. Has a great little patio out front that you can eat on for nice evenings.

Comment: You can find this omakase experience in the Denver highlands...Sushi Ronin is a Japanese eatery & bar featuring artistic presentations of fresh fish in modern Asian style surroundings. We enjoyed omakase here for dinner & absolutely loved it.We arrived at Sushi Ronin and were seated at the sushi bar. Marin, Ethan, & Larry were the masters behind the sushi and it was awesome to see these sushi chefs at work. All three of them were so fun and attentive during our dinner service. Manager, Ida ensured our meal ran smoothly and checked in periodically.For cocktails I started with the seasonal, Pineapple Express made with vodka, gin, basil, simply syrup, & yuzhu. The Pineapple Express was vibrant green in color and refreshing in taste.For dinner we did the Ronin Omakase which was the culinary experience left up to the chef. The omakase is always changing and is a dine-in only option. I highly recommend trusting the chef and partaking in omakase.Our omakase experience began with a palate cleanser - the Mandarin Elixir.The Chutoro Crudo was made with mid belly bluefin tuna, pomegranate zu, dragonfruit, golden beets, lemon zest, maldon salt, and micro chives. The dish itself was a gorgeous kaleidoscope of colors. The mid belly bluefin tuna offered a luxurious texture without being overly fatty. The smooth, buttery taste of the tuna went well with the sweet pop of the pomegranate and the mild earthiness of the golden beets.The Mukozuke was the Chefs choice sashimi accompanied by wasabi yuzhu, chive oil, chili crisp, rice puffs, chili threads, & pea shoots. The presentation of the Mukozuke was stunning. The sashimi was so fresh; I loved the texture variation of the smooth fish against the delicate crunch of the rice puffs.I enjoyed chilled sake with the rest of dinner.The Bluefin Tuna Flight included sashimi pieces from fatty to lean. The otoro tuna sashimi featured intense fat marbling which resulted in rich flavoring (far left). The leanest tuna was very low in fat and had a striking red color (far right).The Salmon Nigiri Flight included fresh Scottish salmon, New Zealand salmon, Tasmanian salmon, and seared Scottish salmon. The nigiri flight was exceptional. The New Zealand salmon was balanced and herbal. The Tasmanian was light & clean. The seared Scottish salmon was my favorite - it melted in my mouth with a gorgeous richness.The Canadian Crab sushi pieces were topped with black caviar & garlic butter. The lump crab was sweet with tender chew and the crown of black caviar really took this sushi piece to the next level.The Itovori, Threadfin Bream and Hiramasa, Greater Amberjack were served on ice.The Scallop nigiri was complemented by olive oil. The scallop was excellent - sweet & mild in flavor.The Godzilla roll was made with tempura shrimp, avocado, seared NY strip, and black garlic butter. Larry fired up this roll and we could see why its one of Sushi Ronins most popular.The Matcha Trifle was a Japanese take on Tiramisu - lovely in looks & taste.
