We decided to stop by here for lunch on a weekend on the way to ikea. The restaurant is conveniently located near some great shops like total wine, home goods, Christy's sports, petsmart, etc. It was fairly busy but we were able to be seated right away. We ordered a spicy salmon roll, a few nigiri (chutoro, seared tuna), salmon carpaccio, miso soup, and another roll (spicy tuna on top, salmon inside). Everything was incredibly fresh! We enjoyed the nigiri's the most (although pricey so we couldn't order too many). Service was also excellent. We will be back!

Asaka used to be our favorite place to go and honestly, I would probably still choose this place over the majority mid price sushi joints. Unfortunately there was a change in the rice that really was off putting. It's no longer the traditional white rice but a mixture of brown rice? Correct me if I'm wrong but it's not the correct texture. Because of this the nigiri and the rolls easily fall apart which makes for a less appealing bite. Good thing is the fish is always fresh and you can't beat the price for their standard omkase.We love this small and cozy place but just wish they'd go back to what they were using before.

Pains me to say this, but not quite as good as they used to be. Still amongst the best in Denver, but it is no longer the absolute best by a wide margin, the way it used to be.When chef owner was personally making the sushi, it is great. However, as Asaka has become increasingly popular, they needed more sushi chefs to keep up. These sushi chefs never seem to stick around for very long. Some were terrible and some were great. Unfortunately, the current one has been around for several weeks, is very mediocre, and not really improving. The nigiri is not prepared well, and the fish seem to be cut clumsily. The nigiri now does not look anything like the original pictures I posted 2 years ago. Throughout the last couple years, there have been very talented sushi chefs that worked there, but it's a shame that it was never for more than a couple months.Another thing that makes me sad is their premium omakase. It used to be all fish, with maybe 1 or 2 non-fish items. And it used to also be a good mix of high quality fatty and lean and interesting fishes. Now premium omakase has wagyu beef, foie gras, otoro, salmon belly, and uni spoon every single time. I don't mind repeating items. What my problem is, it's just fat, fat, and more fat. Maybe wagyu in an omakase a couple times a year is fine, or foie gras a couple times a year as a surprise (never at same time as wagyu) would be okay. But every time is silly and unbalanced. Wagyu + foie gras in a single omakase is already just too much fat. Absolute maximum for super fatty items in an omakase should be limited to maybe 3 items. If someone wants an entire meal of fat, fat, and more fat, then let them order it off the menu. If chef's choice happens to be fat, fat, and more fat, then count me out. I don't think I ordered premium omakase, which used to be my favorite thing to order, in the last several weeks.And finally, the straw that broke the camel's back for me. We asked how the uni was in our latest visit, the mediocre chef said it was good. It was not really good. When chef owner tells me about the uni, he used to give me an honest and accurate assessment. The current sushi chef just says everything is good. I can't rely on them for consistently best uni anymore.I feel bad that I haven't raised these concerns earlier. I have a lot of friends who feel the same way as me, but we just don't put in the effort to voice opinions. Instead, we simply haven't been coming here as often for nigiri.

The service was good and the fish was excellent. The presentation wasn't as great as some other places. Really a 4.5 star. Prices were high. Do the Happy Hour during the week if you can.

A friend recommended this place and wow, we were super impressed with the quality!! We went during happy hour and got amazing sushi for an amazing price and will definitely be back to try all the selections of nigiri they have. My favorite from the nigiri chefs selection was the albacore + truffle - only because I've never had anything like that before! But every.single.piece. was delicious. And the fresh wasabi on top just hit the spot. The Rocky Mountain roll was amazing as well - a good filler option!

If there is better sushi in the Denver area, I'd love to visit. Until then, this is our favorite spot. I stuck with the three best rolls I've had before...the Caterpillar, New York, and Rocky Mountain. They're all fantastic, have amazing flavor, and will continue to be what I order whenever I'm here. My daughter loves the Philly and decided to get two of those this time, plus a Caterpillar, without Masago, as that's not her thing. Spicy edamame weren't as spicy as usual but packed the perfect amount of heat and flavor. Like always, service is prompt and friendly. You absolutely can't go wrong coming here.

Still delivering quality sushi and a great verity of options. The Toro melts in your mouth and is reasonably priced. The uchi spoon was adventurous, with salmon roe, fatty tuna, and a fresh quail egg. Each nigiri is unique, seasoned and topped with different flavors including fresh Wasabi. They get busy on the weekends and don't take reservations, so plan accordingly. The restaurant has a family feel and friendly service. I'd consider Asaka Sushi a great option if your local and the Den's are all booked.

Every time we come here, it feels like home. The staff is incredibly friendly, and the food is consistently on point. I enjoy exploring unique dishes, and the Shiso Scallop appetizer was absolutely delicious. The salmon skin hand roll was generously stuffed with salmon and is easily one of the best I've ever had.We've also tried their foie gras that's on special a few times, and it's always juicy and flavorful--an absolute treat. The fish is incredibly fresh, which is the main reason we keep coming back.For a top-level experience, we always opt for the sushi bar, where everything feels more personal and interactive. This restaurant has truly become one of our favorites!
