Kumoya

I had a really lovely dinner with friends here Friday night. Although I live close by, I hadn't been in since it was Tony P's and they have made some really incredible renovations. I loved the decor and the bar- also the fact that they somehow got the pizza/bar smell out- lol.The service was friendly and our order came out accurately, but it wasn't speedy. Honestly that was okay- it was about luxuriating and enjoying the experience, not shoveling the meal in and getting out so they could re-seat the table. The cocktails were all yummy- I had 2 of the ones with the yuzo, a fantastic recommendation from our server. We started with the tuna tartare and the tofu. Both were delicious- the broth on the tofu was rich and full of flavor and we all enjoyed the tuna. We shared the salmon tartare, yellowtail rolls and scallop rolls as well and the eel. Everyone's favorite was the scallop, hands down. I was particularly surprised by this because I don't ordinarily care for scallops, but these were outstanding. Everything was quite tasty though, and I look forward to my next visit!

This place was aaaaaamazing! I havent really been impressed with sushi in denver, but this place definitely impressed me. To start off, their service was fantastic. I made a reservation for the wrong date, showed up, and they were able to get us seated at 9:15 even though the kitchen closes at 9:30. They then moved us to the lounge area for the midnight snacks and DJ. It was beyond fantastic service thanks to Wes, the geneneral manager. He told us not to rush and told us the kitchen knew we were there so we can take our time to order. Our server was also very good vibes, fun, and checked up on us a lot. The food was really good, definitely pricey, but I think worth the money because of superv service as well. The decor was super cute. The drinks were all good. Very light and refreshing flavors, the Hanna was my favorite drink.

Kumoya is the cutest little spot nestled in the LoHi neighborhood, and it's quickly become a new favorite! We hit up this cozy restaurant for dinner around 6:30 PM, and even though it was quiet with just a few tables occupied, the vibe was perfect for a relaxing meal.Parking was a breeze for us--we found a spot right in front of the restaurant, but I could see it being trickier if things got busier. Now, let's talk food, because it was amazing. We went for a mix of appetizers and sushi, and everything was on point. The sushi was divine, seriously on par with the quality and innovation you'd find at Uchi. The Uni nigiri was my personal favorite--so fresh and sweet!But let's be real, the appetizers stole the show. They're served tapas-style, and our waitress recommended three for the two of us, which turned out to be perfect. I honestly can't pick a favorite because each one was a hit.First up, the wagyu tartar came with lightly toasted and buttered Japanese milk bread. The portion was generous, and I could have easily eaten just that and been totally satisfied. Next, the prawns were an absolute delight. The fried shrimp heads? Crispy perfection. I loved how they peeled the shrimp heads, making them super easy to eat. Last but not least, the eggplant dish is a must-try. The savory eggplant topped with flavorful miso and crispy rice was an umami explosion in every bite.Kumoya is perfect for a date night or a girls' night out. I noticed they have a late-night menu, and now I'm seriously wishing I lived closer so I could pop in after hours.

Fantastic, new, trendy sushi spot! The vibes here are awesome with great decor, a smooth playlist, and a really cool sushi bar and back bar for drinks. The drink menu is solid, with a great lineup of sakes and whiskeys. Food wise, they have a solid lineup of sushi and nigiri with super fresh fish. They also have solid, non fish options like a really great duck and soba noodles dish.

I've been here three times and finally, we sat at the bar. While I can't say we paid too much attention to it, it was fun to see the prep. The service was relaxed, not rushed like most places in the US, we could enjoy our food and each other's company. I can't eat sushi anywhere else after coming here. Everything is just so fresh and elegant. You taste the fish and how it's paired is beautiful and complimentary. The drinks are great, the desert was amazing, and I don't have a sweet tooth.

Okayyyyy wow.The vibes here were immaculate, the drinks spectacular and the SUSHHH phenomenal. This may be my new favorite sushi spot in Denver. Our server was so sweet and gave amazing drink and menu recommendations. Some of my favorites that need a shoutout: the toro tartare...one of the best starters I've had. It was so fresh and the flavor was amazing. The salmon tartare roll is now Derek's favorite sushi roll he's ever had. The snap pea drink was so good we ordered FOUR. I've already texted my friends and we will be coming back!

I am obsessed! My fiancée and I came as a special date night treat, and we were so impressed with our experience here. We were able to make a reservation the day before to sit at the sushi bar (all tables were booked!), but we really enjoyed it because we could see some of the sushi chefs making the dishes. One of the first things we noticed was how happy everyone who worked there seemed. They were all joking with each other and seemed like genuinely happy people! Someone who appeared to be the manager also made sure to stop by every table to chat and help pour drinks and clean plates. Having a great working environment for the staff really makes a difference on customers' experiences! We started off with a bottle of sake and their wagyu tartare with Japanese milk toast. It was such a wonderful blend of flavor and texture between the crunchy toast and tartare. The milk toast sometimes overpowered the tartare taste, so I would recommend trying some of the Wagyu tartare by itself to really appreciate its incredible flavor. We then ordered two rolls - the yellowtail and the salmon tartare roll. That salmon tartare roll was IT for me. I felt like that first bite took me into a different world. The avocado added a subtle creaminess that really brought out the taste of the salmon, and the masago and cilantro pieces were perfect additions.Even though we were already full, we knew we had to order dessert after hearing that they had an in-house pastry chef. We ordered the Amazake and devoured every piece up. The blend between the creamy rice ice cream and pistachio purée, the light crunch of the aerated white chocolate matcha, and the moist pandan sponge cake was absolute perfection. I've never had a dessert like this before, and I'm so glad that we decided to try it.I've already told so many friends and family about this delicious restaurant and will be bringing visiting guests here in the future!

Kumoya is a beautiful restaurant in the Lower Highlands (LoHi) area. My first impression was "anyone with a date to impress and wants sushi should bring them here". The ambiance is stunning. I really wish I checked out their cocktail lounge in the back. It sounds like a great place to take your date or few friends to have some sushi, drinks, and a good time. The food was delicious although definitely on the expensive side. If you are hungry and want a filling meal with a drink, expect to pay $100+ per person. I would highly recommend the salmon tartare roll. I'm usually not a fan of rolls especially at nicer sushi restaurants, but that one is fantastic. Service was excellent as well. We never had to wait on water, ordering anything, etc. There is not much else to say here. I normally have a thing against mandatory 20% tipping on bills, but when the service is this good, it just makes sense. Overall, I would recommend Kumoya to anyone looking for great sushi at a beautiful place and price is not too much of a barrier.

The skinny: Sushi & cocktails were absolutely delicious. Phenomenal experience - just be prepared for a hefty price tag. The overview: We came here for a joint birthday celebration and decided to go for the omakase. They had a few options where you could tell them what kind of food you liked (we opted for mostly raw & called out that we for sure wanted some uni and hotate) & what your per person price point was. This was a great experience since we got to try a whole lot of dishes we might not have typically ordered while still getting some of our favorites. They were super knowledgable and easy to work with.The food: Standout nigiri: Basically all the nigiri we had was amazingly fresh - with unique touches that really brought the flavor of the fish out. Favorites were definitely uni (some of the best we've had in den), king salmon toro (melt in your mouth). Cooked dishes: Egg plant (a surprise favorite - melty savory goodness), tempura mushrooms (in a delicious sauce you wanted to lick afterwards). The hamachi was good but nothing that blew me away (wasn't as fatty as I would have liked and a little dry at parts)Drinks: Every single cocktail we had was delicious and way too easy to drink. Loved the Hana & EndoCost/Value: $$$$ This place is what you would expect of an upscale sushi restaurant - so get ready to throw down some money. But all amazing quality food. If they still are working with inKind - you can pay through that app and get a % back in credit (and they are doing a deal on their website where you get $50 off $150). It was such a good deal we thought it was fake at first. I will say compared to Uchi, the quality was pretty comparable, but that Uchi normally sends a few free items your way. We were a little surprised we didn't get anything (even a small item like a chocolate covered strawberry) free given that we were there celebrating 3 birthdays. Something I normally expect from higher end places.Would I come back: 100%. Adding this to my list of super fresh sushi spots and fun date nights. Plus the discount via the inKind app does make a difference.

The food and staff get 4 stars! The price well...be ready to walk out with a $200 or more bill. The sushi was delicious and the freshest we have had while living in Denver. Dare I say it compares with one of my favorite sushi's restaurants in Chicago from a quality perspective. The ambience is nice for a date night if you sit in the back area. If you want a more casual or maybe a business dinner I would suggest getting a table up front. The staff is definitely on top of things... our waitress check in on us multiple times as well as a manager. The location is a prime spot in the Highlands area. Due to the prices we needed up grabbing a drink after at another restaurant close by.Again, the food is amazing and the staff is attentive but it was a bit too expensive for what you get.
