"Excellent service from start to finish!Upon entering, we were cheerfully greeted and seated by hostess Susi. We chose the outdoor patio seating as the weather was perfect.Our server Elise confidently handled multiple questions regarding menu items (seeking the spicier options). The XXX roll hit the spot, and the Firecracker roll which could use more heat ("Firecracker"). We caved and had a bottle of Momo Kawa sake. Once a regular DTC haven my serial-dating days, it is now a regular go-to when in town with colleagues.Excellent service, food, pleasant outdoor seating as well as intimate indoor ambiance make it my repeat sushi option in the DTC."

"Our party of four dined upstairs, and thought the ambiance was pleasant and not too lout. Overall, we had a great dinner and great service. We tried a wide variety of dishes, and were very happy with our selections which included:* Salmon Sashimi 7pcs: $27* Shumai steamed shrimp dumplings: $9.50* Edamame lightly salted soybeans: $7* Ginger Pork Gyoza - Hapa's pork potstickers with a spicy soy sauce: $9.50* The Big Kahuna -Hamachi, negi, cucumber, and avocado inside,topped with salmon, tuna, jalapeño, yuzu miso and wakame chazuke: $22* Karaage Sliders - Japanese-style fried chicken nestled in Hawaiian sweetbread, topped with Asian slaw and zesty spicy mayo. $12The sliders received rave reviews, and the potstickers were nicely executed. The salmon sashimi was good, though I thought they were pricey for the portion at $27. The Big Kahuna roll was also tasty, we would order that again. We would definitely return the next time we're in Denver."

"(The review is based on a happy hour experience at 3pm Monday)1. The serving staff was great. I had Jess as my server and she was was very accommodating with my allergies, and very friendly! I felt truly taken care of. 2. The sushi went beyond my expectations for $12 for two rolls. First- the salmon avocado rolls were MASSIVE. I do recommend them-- on top of that-- the fish was very fresh and delicious. 3. The drink deals were great albeit my non-participation. Overall-- this place is killer at happy hour. Will absolutely be coming back!"

"Every relationship has its ups and downs. If you don't spend time trying to address those problems they fester and you grow apart. So it's a good thing that when I told RFPB that I thought we needed to go into therapy to strengthen our relationship and work through some of the friction points we were experiencing RFPB was in total agreement.We met for lunch a couple of times and at first things didn't go that well (see last review) so I was concerned and depressed. But the last couple of times we've gotten together (yup, for lunch), we seemed to have been able to work through things and now I can say we're tighter than ever.I'm back to calling her my Duchess and I hope I'm still her Duke.Attached are some pix from friends of mine.

"I gave this place another try and happily increase it to 5 stars!Walking in, the restaurant is tastefully decorated and clean. The person who prepared my meal was pleasant and generous in scooping in portions. I got the medium bowl- tuna, spicy tuna, salmon. 2 scoops of crab salad were also included free of charge, along with a side of miso soup that was complimentary. For sauce, I got the spicy sauces. There is enough for another meal tomorrow! Food was top notch and I'll happily go back again!"

"Stopped in for a quick bite before softball. Got the moochi chicken and the teriyaki chicken. Large is a pretty large serving and I was not able to finish it, small looked probably like the better option. Flavor of both was good. It is in a strip mall next to a market so there is plenty of parking. Staff was nice and food was ready in about 10 minutes. Overall a good experience."

Poke One

"We've been visiting here for just over a year and every visit has been very predictable. I like that a lot. The first time we walked in, I wondered where are the people were. I've since determined they do a great carry out business because people are in and out in just a few minutes. All of the food has been fresh on every visit. We always build our own for one flat price unless we add avocado or extra protein. Most recently we built a medium (24 oz) with white rice, tuna, salmon, jalapeños, edamame, mango, crab salad, crispy garlic and onions, spicy mayo and maybe another topping or two hidden in there. The medium is nice because you can choose two different proteins. My favorite build your own is a small (16 oz) including white rice, shrimp, corn, edamame, pineapple, mango, crab salad, carrots, almonds, crispy garlic and onions and a spicy teriyaki sauce. The staff is very friendly and when I mentioned preferring extra crab salad on my last visit, they added extra while building the bowl and went back and put more on top toward the end. They don't skimp here. The bathrooms are super clean. There's plenty of room in the parking lot and they are easy to find. One of our obvious choices for a quick meal."

"Wow! Nestled in a little corner of a strip mall in Highlands Ranch, super impressed!Incredible, made to order poke, curry and teriyaki bowls as well as boba and smoothie options. Super friendly staff, quick service. Will absolutely be coming back and recommend to anyone on the south end looking for poke- this is your spot!!"

"I had the fortune of eating at this restaurant on my last trip to Denver before the pandemic and was very please by my poke bowl which was filled with a generous helping of shrimp and salmon. The ingredients were high quality and fresh, and the bowl was constructed in nice layers with care and good presentation (Fish on the inside, rice on the bottom, mixes on the side). The flavor was very good, especially with the fattiness of the fish. This matched well with the fluffy rice and crisp vegetables. I was quite surprised at how much food was in my bowl as being tall instead of wide made me think that there was less food than there really was.Overall, delicious food, friendly service, big portions, and a reasonable price make this a great place to get Poke."

"Poke Me is a special place that's relatively new to the Belmar shopping district of Lakewood. Unassuming from the outside, but when you enter you're greeted by the most friendly people in a bright and welcoming atmosphere.To be honest, I haven't had a great poke bowl in quite some time. Maybe I just don't seek poke spots out enough. The truth of the matter is, this place separates itself from the pack. Every single ingredient they offer is served fresh. They also make their sauces in house. And boy what a difference it makes!I went with a dealer's choice of sorts. You can trust the amazing team behind the line to put together something memorable that caters to your taste buds. I went with Tuna, Salmon and Sweet & Spicy Ground Tuna (an absolute gamechanger!) One thing I like is that they marinate the fish in their sauces before assembling the poke bowl. This is key for optimal flavor!As far as toppings, I couldn't say no to everything they recommended. It was the kitchen sink of poke bowls and I mean that as the ultimate compliment. Adding spicy mayo on top of it all took an already amazing dish to new heights.The owners are actually a brother/sister duo, Huy and Linh. It makes the experience all the more rewarding knowing it's a family owned and operated business behind the scenes. One thing I noticed while dining in is that they talked to each table when they weren't busy preparing dishes. They value their customer feedback and their warmth and generosity shows.I hope this restaurant prospers all the way to the moon. Legitimately one of the best poke bowls I've ever had in my life!"

"Great selection of base, meat toppings, and sauce! this is one of the select few Poke spots I actually enjoy and this was my first time here. The salmon and tuna I got was fresh and there were a varierty of ingredients to choose from to make your very own bowl. The poetion size was great for the price as well, a small bowl (two meats) was filled all the way to the top. It even came with complimentary miso soup. Will definitely be back here again when I'm in the area."

Island Fin Poke

"I am not one to ever really order poke for lunch delivery but I will say, I am very impressed with Island Fun Poke. Delicious bowl! I had the poke bowl with one scoop of protein - plenty of food! I didn't even finish it because it was so filling. Not sure what the restaurant is like but I will say as far as delivery goes, I enjoyed it."

Rocky Fin Poke - Westminster

"We decided to try this place as it is walking distance from our apartment... and WOW was a wonderful place! Is beautifully decorated, the staff was just amazing, and the food was excellent!! The staff was so friendly and helpful. It was our first time there so they made some recommendations and explained the process for us.. I got the Bali Hai Signature Bowl with lettuce as my base. It was so delicious, filling, and such a light lunch. Although, it kept me full for the rest of the day after that. The prices are good to as like I mentioned, you get a lot of food. I definitely recommend this place and I'm so excited to have it so close to me!"

L&L Hawaiian Mixplate

★★★★☆ 3.9 (54)

"We visited Las Vegas last year for two days and ate at L&L Hawaiian both days! When I realized the same chain had locations here in Colorado you know I had to stop in and try it out. I am very impressed by this location. My go to order is the BBQ short ribs and every time I've gotten it the ribs have been tender and delicious. I love my short ribs with a bit of fat on them, and these short ribs do not disappoint. The sauce they put on the ribs is smoky and sweet. I can't get over how delicious all their food is.The macaroni salad is so yummy, I absolutely love the flavor. It has this umami flavor to it which pairs perfectly if you mix it with your rice and (added) teriyaki sauce. Service here is friendly and fast."

"I love hibachi style cooking and was super happy to see Tokyo Hibachi open up close to my office. I have tried a few different entrees and they are all good with huge portions for the price. My fav so far is the teriyaki chicken. Called in my lunchtime order a few times and it is always piping hot and ready when I pick it up. The man taking orders is very sweet."

Kona Hawaiian BBQ

★★★★☆ 4 (40) • $$

"After living in Arvada/Wheat Ridge for several years, I finally got to try out Kona Hawaiian BBQ and I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised. The neighborhood is not really known for its diversity in food but Kona is a much-needed delicious Hawaiian BBQ spot. I've only tried their Aloha Plate with 2 sides (BBQ Chicken and Kona Fire Chicken) and spam musubi and everything was well-made and delicious. The Aloha Plate comes with either 1 side or 2 sides (2 sides was a dollar more), salad, cucumbers, and rice. The ratio of everything is perfect but I wish there was a bit more rice. Not a big deal at all. One thing I would like to point out in particular is that many, many places I've been to mess up orders when asked to put a sauce on the side or something similar but the people at Kona got everything perfectly. Thank you!"

★★★★☆ 3.7 (17)

"This place looks great with the new remodel! I ordered the fire chicken plate, came with rice, and macaroni salad. It also had a couple of pieces of broccoli that weren't cooked or steamed so they were a little tough to eat. The dish did come with 2 sauces that were excellent! I also ordered fried dumplings (4pieces) in one order and they were ok."

Big Daddy's Hawaiian Bbq

★★★★☆ 4.4 (8)

"I can't speak for the restaurant interior, or service but I ordered door dash and this is going to be a go-to staple in our house. I ordered bbq chicken and beef big plates with a side of Mac salad, chili pineapple and a rice crispy treat. The sauce is rocking and the chicken is the best I've had since moving here. They give you a good portion of meat and sides. I couldn't ask for more, truly. Thank you so much, for the best lunch I've had in I can't tell you how long!"
